Rockstar's online games have incredibly creative communities, as proven by the thriving Grand Theft Auto Online roleplaying scene. But Red Dead Redemption 2 online's community has its own heartwarming eccentricities. Take for example Zoobz' "The Long Walk" event, which was half stew-carrying challenge and half wholesome nature walk. The event grew into a grand Red Dead Redemption adventure with over 20 participants, but very few surviving bowls of stew.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of The Long Walk is the stew-carrying challenge. This is an idea that first popped on Reddit, but was then developed into a more structured challenge by Slonitram. Basically, players are able to pick up bowls of stew in-game and then not eat it. They're then locked into walking -- no running, riding or anything. The challenge is to get as far as possible without spilling the stew, whether that involves being griefed by another Red Dead Online player, knocked over, disconnected, or otherwise.

In the video, we can see Slonitram lose their bowl of stew less than a minute in due to a disconnect. They stay with the walk, though. The stew bowl challenge is not without its victims, as around 3 and a half minutes into the trailer we see several of the walkers get hit by Red Dead Redemption 2's ever-dangerous train. At this point, unfortunately, Slonitram gets several disconnects in a row and the end of the stew challenge isn't recorded. However, the video of the walk goes on for another 10 minutes and is full of little games and adventures, including fishing and more stew.

It just goes to show not just how creative fans can be, but how robust Red Dead Redemption 2's online mode is in practice. Sure, the event was full of disconnects. Red Dead Online has definitely got some issues, but it's still admirable that Red Dead Online was capable of doing such an event whatsoever. It makes the cry for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC all the more understandable, as modded Red Dead Online servers would be incredible to see.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now on PS4 and Xbox One.
