After investing 1900 hours in Red Dead Redemption 2, a player noticed a small yet crucial mechanic about the game’s horses. RDR2 has some impressive graphics that showcase the most realistic horse riding ever seen in a video game. This RDR2 mechanic has been found five years after the game’s release.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Mechanic Found 5 Years Later
Red Dead Redemption 2‘s exceptional attention to detail continues to impress players five years after release, with new discoveries still being made. Recently, a player found a previously unnoticed gory combat detail using Photo Mode, indicating the game’s ongoing depth and complexity.
After nearly 1900 hours of gameplay and 5 playthroughs, Redditor Lumbaginator discovered a new detail in RDR2‘s horse riding mechanics: the ability to back up the horse. This discovery highlights the game’s remarkable horse-riding mechanics given horses which are a weak point for every other game.
Although some players may have found the horse-backing feature almost immediately, the comments on the thread revealed that many were unaware of it. Some players admitted to always running their horses forward, resulting in the loss of delivery weapons. This indicates that this feature is not widely known yet. You can find a tutorial for it right here.
It may take a while before players get to experience Rockstar’s horses in action again, as Red Dead Redemption 3 is likely still far off. While it’s improbable that GTA 6 will have any horse-related features, fans are hoping that it has the same level of attention to detail as RDR2. If it does, GTA 6 might have the potential to break sales records similar to what GTA 5 did a decade ago.
