Summary

  • Talented modder create chaos in Red Dead Redemption 2 with fast horse mod.
  • Completing missions becomes impossible due to constant deaths and failures.
  • Mod not yet available publicly, but hopefully will be for players to enjoy temporary chaos.

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player online has created a hilarious mod that makes horses and carriages extremely fast and dangerous. The end result is extremely chaotic, resulting in Red Dead Redemption 2's game world being perilous to navigate.

Although Red Dead Redemption 2's modding community isn't as big as other titles, talented modders have still found ways to bring new and enhance existing content in the game. It's nothing to do with the game's popularity, and more with the limited tools available to would-be modders. Still, creativity prevails, with a dedicated community of talented individuals adding more to the game all the time. Not too long ago, there was even a Red Dead Redemption 2 mod that allows gamers to play as Sadie, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for what's possible in the game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Pixel Art Includes Depressing Detail

A Red Dead Redemption 2 fan shares their pixel art creation on social media, featuring Arthur Morgan and including a depressing detail.

YouTuber Blurbs recently released a video showcasing their own Red Dead Redemption 2 mod, which makes horses and carriages move extremely fast. It isn't constant, though - they'll often take a pause, before moving extremely fast again. This creates absolutely chaotic scenes and jumpscares, turning Red Dead Redemption 2 into a game of constant survival. Some of the funniest moments in the video happen in Saint Denis, where horses and carriages are constantly a threat. Blurbs would describe his creation as "a horror game," and there are plenty of deaths to be seen here. Admittedly, it looks like great fun, though.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Chaotic Horse and Carriage Mod

Throughout the video, Blurbs attempts to complete several Red Dead Redemption 2 missions. This ultimately proved to be an impossible task, as the horses dying or carriages being destroyed would often result in these missions being instantly failed. It's definitely a mod that would be great for temporary chaos rather than for any complete playthrough of the game. Unfortunately, Blurbs has yet to make the mod publicly available, but hopefully, they will in the future, so that players can enjoy it for themselves.

In the absence of Red Dead Redemption 3, it's great to see that modders are continuing to create their own fun in RDR2. The recent release of the original game on PC has also seen tons of Red Dead Redemption mods arrive for the first time, so it'll be interesting to see what creators do over time. It's possible that Red Dead Redemption ends up having a more exciting modding community than its sequel, depending on how long it takes for Rockstar to release Red Dead Redemption 3.

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him. From the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.
