Summary
- A new glitch in Red Dead Online allows players to ride their horses into the sky.
- The flying horse glitch in Red Dead Online allows players to drop dynamite onto unsuspecting players below.
- Rockstar may need to patch the flying horses bug on consoles to prevent online griefing with this unintended feature.
A Red Dead Online player has pointed out a hilarious new glitch in the game, which seems to have the potential for in-game griefers to exploit and cause mayhem. Although Rockstar doesn't update Red Dead Online often anymore, it seems the game's latest patch may have had some inadvertent side effects.
Because Red Dead Online is such a massive title, it's inevitable that there are going to be a few strange glitches found in the game. Rockstar has steadily patched out the worst of the game's issues, but the reality is a solution that fixes one glitch may cause another. This makes it extremely difficult to create a bug-free experience for players. At this point, just like this flying horse bug, most of the glitches are actually quite humorous, which adds to the experience in its own way. One Red Dead Online bug even caused players to hogtie themselves, which is certainly a bizarre sight.
The new Red Dead Online flying horses bug was shown on Twitter by OnlyPVPCat, a popular content creator for the game. They have discovered that the new Red Dead Redemption 2 1.32 update has resulted in this strange issue occurring in the online portion of the game, allowing players to take flight on their horse into the skies above. Seeing the Red Dead Online map from these heights is undoubtedly a beautiful view, but the clip from OnlyPVPCat raises one big concern. Griefers can now drop dynamite from their horses into the streets below, raining death from above on unsuspecting players. For this reason alone, it's likely Rockstar will seek to patch the flying horses bug out of Red Dead Online as soon as possible.
Red Dead Online Flying Horses Bug
According to OnlyPVPCat, the bug is confirmed to work on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game, although it's unclear whether it also works on PC. With cheaters in Red Dead Online remaining a big enough problem for gamers to worry about all the time while playing, hopefully Rockstar can fix this particular issue before griefers figure out how to take full advantage to ruin online lobbies for others.
While it's likely that Red Dead Online will continue to receive smaller bug fixes to solve issues like this in the future, gamers shouldn't expect much, if anything, in the way of substantial new content. The studio seems largely done with the game, with the development of Grand Theft Auto 6 being Rockstar's main priority. A new Red Dead Redemption title is likely many years away yet, so hopefully the content currently in Red Dead Online keeps players satisfied in the meantime.
