A Red Dead Redemption 2 player's horse was shot by an overreacting NPC after it won a race. Horse races are one of the Red Dead Redemption 2 side activities that players can take part in, but this one may have the most bizarre conclusion.
Since Red Dead Redemption 2 was released, players have shared incredible clips detailing the realism and randomness of the game. This includes players using the Red Dead Redemption 2 pocket watch to tell time, discovering a meditating monk on a hill, and losing their horses under bizarre circumstances. Horse races are a side activity that gamers can participate in when they need a break from their main objectives. Other activities like this include fishing, gambling, hunting, robberies, and doing chores around camp. One gamer has detailed their experience with an absurd NPC after they lose a race and take their troubles out on their horse.
Reddit user JimJamSandwich recently shared a Red Dead Redemption 2 clip that highlights just how absurd NPC reactions can be. The video begins with sped-up footage of the horse race itself, which takes place in Big Valley and Appleseed Timber Co. The footage slows as Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan waits at the finish line while smoking a Premium Cigarette. The NPC's horse slowly trots up to Arthur, with the character voicing his displeasure as he struggles to dismount it. After asking his horse how it lost to "that mangy thing," the NPC shoots his horse in the head, with the bullet passing through it to hit Arthur's horse. The clip concludes with Arthur killing the NPC after both horses are defeated at the hands of the NPC.
This NPC Had an Absurd Reaction to Losing a Horse Race
Depending on the breed of the Red Dead Redemption 2 horse, some gamers have more success winning these races than others. It's unlikely that the NPC intended to kill both horses with his shot, but both their heads lined up in a way that made it possible. As many players have witnessed NPCs kill their horses for losing, some fans have simply commented on the fact that both animals were killed in this case. One Reddit user has highlighted how bizarre it is that the player lost honor in this case, while another suggested that it shows a "peak Rockstar moment."
As Rockstar Games made many unique NPCs with their own daily routines in Red Dead Redemption 2, this moment may have happened as intended. Many gamers have similarly seen NPCs treating their horses poorly, but it's rare for one to kill two horses with a single bullet.

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.
