Summary
ARed Dead Redemption 2player has discovered a hilarious exploit that allows them to turn the van der Linde gang into Arthur Morgan’s personal protection. In a way, thisRed Dead Redemption 2bug adds a feature that some might feel belonged in the game in the first place.
Over the years, there have been tons of weird and wonderfulRed Dead Redemption 2glitches found by the community. In a game of its size, it’s only natural that many bugs will be found, even years after its release. Some of these bugs can even prove to be quite valuable to players, which could explain why Rockstar hasn’t patched them out. For example, there was once aRed Dead Redemption 2glitch that made it easy for players to make money, which, while not exactly lore-friendly, was definitely useful from a gameplay perspective.
Redditor KingAbacus shared afunnyRed Dead Redemption 2bugthat transforms the van der Linde gang into followers. They antagonized the gang in camp until they attempted to knock Arthur out, then immediately grabbed a bowl of stew. This causes the gang to follow the player until they finish the stew. If this never happens, the gang follows the player forever, and according to KingAbacus, they will even “shoot for you if needed,” with many players in the thread pointing out that they had never seen this bug happen in-game.
There was a slight concern over whether players would still be able to use their horses when using this glitch. After all, havingRed Dead Redemption 2’s van der Linde gangas a personal army is great, but it’s hardly of much use if it takes hours to travel anywhere on foot. KingAbacus couldn’t answer that specific query, but they did mention that they were able to get on a cart, at which point the rest of the gang mounted up on their own horses, so it seems that travel is possible when using this bug.
It has been almost seven years since the release ofRed Dead Redemption 2, but the next game in the series still seems very far away. Earlier this month, a former Rockstar developer confirmed thatGrand Theft Auto 6has only been in development sinceRed Dead Redemption 2’s release, and it’s possible that the same may apply to the next iteration of its premier Western franchise. It’s a sad thought that the next game in the series may still be so far away, but Rockstar fans are no strangers to long waits.
