A Red Dead Redemption 2 player online has posted a bizarre clip that shows the entire Van der Linde Gang being hit by a train. Despite Arthur Morgan's honor level in Red Dead Redemption 2 being an important feature, this gamer clearly isn't too concerned about affecting their own.
One of the big features that Red Dead Redemption 2 is known for is the ability for gamers to play however they want. Rockstar created a vast open world for players to explore, serving as the ultimate Western sandbox to play in. Some gamers take Red Dead Redemption 2 extremely seriously, essentially using it as a Western simulator, while others like this player take the opportunity to have some twisted fun instead. Every approach is valid - if Rockstar didn't want players to be able to do this type of thing, it surely would have implemented barriers to stop them.
Redditor NPCpranks_ posted the footage, which shows the entire Van der Linde gang hogtied to a train track. Rather than help them, the player watches as a train comes along and crushes every single one of the outlaws. It goes about as well as expected, with the whole group perishing in the incident. According to the comments, NPCpranks_ used Red Dead Redemption 2 mods to create the bizarre scene, and it makes a lot of sense. The original Van der Linde gang is normally invincible in-game, but by spawning new versions of them, this player is able to bypass this restriction.
NPCpranks_ is making quite a name for themselves within the community of the game. A few months back, they committed the most sadistic act possible in Red Dead Redemption 2, but this latest act isn't too far from it. It's definitely interesting to see someone pushing the game with the use of mods, just to see what is possible within Red Dead Redemption 2. As this footage shows, nothing is off-limits.
It's great to see gamers still having so much fun with the sandbox of Red Dead Redemption 2. With any potential sequel still seemingly years away, it's a positive sign for the health of the franchise that fans are still enjoying the previous game. With increasing rumors of a Red Dead Redemption remaster being on the way soon, it would be the perfect way for Rockstar to keep the series at the forefront of the gaming community. Nothing is officially confirmed yet, but it seems increasingly likely that there's no smoke without fire.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
