History has become a steady source of content for the gaming industry. While fantasy driven worlds and far off galaxies still hold a lot of weight in the community, game franchises like Assassin’s Creed , Fallout, and Call of Duty all draw inspiration from or context from our world’s historical events to drive their plots home. From traveling through Ancient Greece and Rome to the horrors of World War II and alternate realities where pop culture stopped evolving but technology didn’t, leading to an all-out atomic war, history is one of the biggest sources for creative inspiration in regards to the video game indus

Hand manufactured from the antler of a stag, a part of the blade seems to have snapped off near the crossguard. The weapon can be found near Hanging Dog Ranch in Big Valley, where a scene plays out of a massive fight between a large bear and a hunter. It would appear neither one of the fighters survived the encoun

Alright, back to the funny bugs. While this one doesn’t quite launch you and your horse to the moon, it’s certainly high enough to make coming down again a harrowing (and a final) experience. Found by Reddit user MyCustomUsername, they were on the run from law enforcement when they made the mistake of running their horse into a seemingly ordinary little hill. The hill is, apparently, anything but ordinary , and in no time at all they (and their horse) were launched dozens of feet into the sky, just to come crashing back down to Ea

It does seem like there will occasionally be a warning of the danger to come, though. A horse with an erect tail standing on the road can be a sign of imminent combustion, so if you happen to see one, get re

Almost every single mission in the second game ends with Arthur in a shootout. Rob a bank in complete stealth? You’ll alert the law somehow and end up in a gunfight. Herd some cattle? Gunfight time. Just want to hang out with a friend for a bit? A massive gunfight between all parties involved. Combat just doesn’t feel special anymore when every mission ends up the s

Cosmetic enthusiasts rejoice! We have more outfits to try on. Honor Level +6 grants players access to outfits like the Drifter, the Gambler, the Faulkton, the Farrier, the Dewberry Creek, and the Deauvi

This one doesn’t quite fit into the category of funny bugs, but it is an important one to mention . There’s a mission pretty early on in the game called “Polite Society, Valentine Style”. When doing the mission, there are a few different areas where you can fail, and the obvious thing to do would be to select the Retry Checkpoint option when this happ

During the final mission of Chapter 6, Arthur Morgan can make one of two choices: help John Marston escape thus bringing the arc he has been following all game to a close and ensuring that the Marston family someone finds a better life or… go back to steal money that Arthur hasn’t cared about all g

Every once in a while there’s a bug in a video game that really raises your hackles. Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan theories Dead Redemption 2 has one of these bugs, and man, is it spooky . At a very specific part of the story, you and your gang are riding towards a town to check it out. Along the way, while riding your horse, the faithful companion may actually spontaneously combust. That’s not necessarily the end of your horse (provided you have the right supplies with you), but it’s certainly enough to make you get out of the area like your tail is on f

Getting into street fights in Red Dead Redemption 2 is nigh-on inevitable. Sometimes, those fights turn into all-out brawls. And, as PenGwinAssaSsin learned the hard way, occasionally the game has you destined to lose . While in a fistfight with a couple of NPCs on the road, Arthur turned to the side to be met with about a dozen more NPCs, all with their pistols out, and all firing at the same time. A rehearsed ambush? Or some sort of hive mind? Either way, it was pretty effect

Wait, I hear you say, “a viking hatchet?” Yes indeedy! There’s a Viking ruin in the game located just across the river from Annesburg, to the northwest. In the middle of this tomb, near an altar, you’ll find the viking hatchet. Wielding it not only lets you get your Ragnar Lothbrok on, but also packs a massive punch. It’s a throwable that does quite a bit more damage than your standard throwing knife, while also looking very, very cool ind

Let’s actually dig a bit deeper into this continuity error. In the first gang, John’s biggest complaint about the gang was that they were no a family. Every piece of affection was superficial. The end of the second game tries to imply this was indeed the case all along by having most characters abandon Dutch, bu

Hosea is Dutch’s better half. He is the brains behind the brawns, but he never gets any of the credit. Not that Hosea cares, mind you, but that doesn’t change the fact that Dutch’s Gang mostly due to Hosea’s leadership abilities. Once he’s gone after Chapter 4, it’s no wonder everything falls ap
