Hidden Details You Might Have Missed in Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is known for its incredible detail, immersive world, and stunning visuals. Here are some amazing details in the game you may not have noticed.

1. Animals Hunt Each Other

The game features a dynamic ecosystem. While Arthur is the ultimate predator, tracking and hunting his prey, the wilderness is alive too. You might see a cougar attacking a deer, an alligator preying on a boar, or even a grizzly bear defending itself.

2. Lightning Can Strike You

Lightning in the game is not just for visuals. Players can actually be struck, leading to instant death. It’s rare, but if you’re caught between finding shelter or riding across an open field during a thunderstorm, be aware of the risks.

3. Arthur’s Journal Shows His Artistic Side

Arthur carries a journal that reflects his thoughts. Despite his outlaw lifestyle filled with theft and violence, his messy handwriting and detailed sketches reveal a softer, artistic side.

4. Blood Stays on You

If you carry a bloody animal on your shoulder, the blood will stain your clothes. Similarly, if you place it on your horse, the blood will appear on the horse’s back. Blood spatter from fights also dries and stays on your character until cleaned.

5. Opossums Play Dead

A fun and realistic touch—if you chase an opossum, it may roll over and pretend to be dead. You’ll even get the option to pick it up or skin it, but if you try, it might spring back to life and escape!

6. Brutal Treatment of Shopkeepers

If you mistreat shopkeepers in towns, they won’t forget it. If you return later, they may be hostile and try to get you out quickly. They’ll still serve you, but they might have a bandage on their head or a swollen black eye as a result of your actions.
