Apart from GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 has to be the biggest launch of Rockstar Games. Serving as the prequel to 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, this game is set in the United States in 1899 and depicts the journey of Arthur Morgan.
Initially, the game was heavily criticized because of its poor graphical optimization. The developers were quick to fix all the persisting issues, and later on, it went on to build a huge player base. However, nobody thought that the game would go on to give chills to players’ spines, just like a typical horror title.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Mod Has Made the Game a Horror Title
With a mod that causes wagons and horses to move at absurd speeds, a Red Dead Redemption 2 modder is wreaking havoc on the Wild West. This amusing video below shows the bloody craze that results from altering Red Dead Redemption 2‘s programming to cause horses and wagons to “travel at supersonic speeds.”
Horse-drawn carriages abruptly break up otherwise serene scenes as they speed through crowded streets, hurling various objects into the air, including wood, wheels, people, and, most tragically, horses. Blurbs, the modder himself, rightly said: “What game is this?” You are going to ask the same question too when you play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
It’s possible that the gravity-defying momentum you’d presumably achieve moving at those speeds is the reason why seeing horses and wagons fitfully zip around the sky at high elevation is the most bizarre aspect of this simulation, which is saying something.
Nowhere is safe in this Red Dead Redemption version. Wandering around the town? WHAM! Horse bullet. Climbing a hill? To the dome, wagon rocket. Relaxing on the patio in your front yard? You know, for ambiance, you should have a few human bodies wrapped around your pillars.
Blurbs Was the Reason Why Everyone Became Drunk in Red Dead Redemption 2, Even in the Cutscenes
Every NPC in the game is continuously stumbling around, falling over, throwing up, and if they’re especially unlucky, wobbling straight off the side of cliffs, straight to their doom. This chaotic mod is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
This also applies to cutscenes, which, depending on your point of view, either completely destroy the plot or give it a really strange new twist. Below is an example of it in action.
The entire gameplay experience isn’t exactly well-balanced because the NPCs aren’t supposed to act in this way all the time. They can even phase through poor Arthur Morgan when he stumbles, which must be awful because he’s the only guy who isn’t drunk.
Red Dead fans will likely have to watch the mayhem from a distance through Blurbs’ exploits for the time being, as it doesn’t seem like any of these mods have been made available to the general public.
