If it's anything like the first entry I'm going to guess encryption + oodle, best bet would be wait for a foss tool to release that tackles the former. Will hopefully be an interesting title to tackle.

I used dstorage method on this and got 80.7 GB it compressed nicely, the OLDER methods for death stranding do not work anymore

I think the good method is:

xtool:c32mb:minsomniac,spiderman+xtool:dd3+LOLZ_NO RMAL

I'm searching how to extract audio to remove unused languages.

I'm not finished compression yet

Edit:
package.43.00.core.stream + package.43.01.core.stream contain bink2 videos you can compress, in total 326MB.

For RDR2 should i use the oo2core_5_win64.dll from the game or another one ? Also how did fitgirl get to 68 GB ?

Also, Is it safe to remove mp files ?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is encrypted, you need to find a way to decrypt it. And no, you cannot rip multiplayer files.

Thanks to @wrathma for providing the oodle library for XTool.

you might have used the wrong oodle library. try the one i attached. here are my compression results -

*.ucas *.utoc *.pak -> xt_unreal+msc:raw+srep+lolz
1.70gb => 1.10gb

everything else -> dispack070+delta+rzs
393mb => 119mb


overall size 2.08gb
compressed size 1.21

edit: xt_unreal is xtool -mkraken+mermaid, you dont need unreal.dll and you can skip msc:raw it gives about 50mb difference.
