Summary

ARed Dead Redemption 2player online has found a bizarre glitch that makes protagonist Arthur Morgan a wanted criminal for daring to care for his horse. The bond between Arthur and his horse is important throughoutRed Dead Redemption 2, but this strange bug threatens to drive a wedge between that.

Red Dead Redemption 2is a victim of its own ambition. It’s easily one of the most vast and detailed games ever, but that comes at the cost of bugs occasionally slipping through the net. With a game of this size, it’s inevitable. Thankfully, none of them are game-breaking at this point, but some certainly are strange to see. Others are even fun, like theRed Dead Redemption 2glitch which gave Arthur Morgan the power of Thor. It’s bugs like these that can actually add to the experience by providing players with a funny memory. To some degree, this horse glitch falls into that category.

Redditor AMXshawnathan shared the strange bug with the game’s community online. In the clip, Arthur brushes the hair of his horse while strolling through Saint Denis. As he does so, he receives a $5 bounty, and is even threatened with violence from the lawmen as a result before being arrested. Thebehavior of the NPCs inRed Dead Redemption 2is famous for being extremely odd at the worst of times, and this is just another example of what can happen when something goes wrong with the game behind the scenes.

One player in the thread had a theory about the issue that seemed extremely plausible.Bounties inRed Dead Redemption 2don’t vanish off the face of the Earth; they need to be paid off. This user was of the belief that they had an unpaid bounty that was activated after Arthur spent too much time in front of the lawmen. However, AMXshawnathan was insistent throughout that this wasn’t the case, leaving the issue’s real cause a true mystery.

Although theRed Dead Redemption 2community continues to thrive, the desire continues to grow for any news related to a potential sequel to the game. While it’s almost certainly many years away thanks to the ongoing development ofGrand Theft Auto 6, Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark believes thatRed Dead Redemption 3is a certaintyat some point in the future, and given the sales figures of the series, it’s a hard statement to argue with. Whenever it does arrive, fans can only hope that any bugs are restricted to those that fall into the “fun” category.
