Summary
It seems like one particular infamousRed Dead Redemption 2glitch is still present in the game, more than 5 years since it was first discovered. The creepyRed Dead Redemption 2glitch involves the pixelated and translucent portrait of a man who appears in the upper left corner of the screen.
Red Dead Redemption 2’s world is filled to the brim with interesting content like hunting, fishing, meaningful side quests, and even challenging minigames such as Poker, Dominoes, and Five Finger Fillet. Players who are exploringRockstar’s Wild Westcan oftentimes find themselves in the midst of a random encounter that can range from something as simple as a shooting challenge with a fellow cowboy to even an eerie interaction with a ghost. However, in a video game as vast asRDR2, bugs and glitches are unfortunately part of the experience.
Reddit user Breen822 found themselves the subject of a creepy glitch when traveling around the swamps found in the Bayou Nwa region. The Redditor claims they were trying totrigger a night folk encounterwhen instead an unsettling portrait of an NPC appeared on their screen. When a player travels around that particular area at night, there is a slight chance of encountering this odd glitch. Apparently, the unintended visual effect is actually the portrait of an NPC that can be encountered while playing poker. For some unknown reason,RDR2can sometimes glitch out unexpectedly and actually display the frightening-looking NPC portrait when it shouldn’t. This has been a well-known glitch since quite a few years ago, and it seems like Rockstar still hasn’t gotten around to fixing it just yet.
Gamers are Having Fun at the Expense of the odd Glitch
Breen822’s Reddit post depicting the glitch has gotten the attention of many gamers, who jokingly suggested that the NPC on the screen is actually Gavin,the long-lost friend of Nigel. Others are making hilarious references toCyberpunk 2077’s video calls, which have a visual effect that looks almost exactly like the glitch found inRed Dead Redemption 2.Metal Gear Solid’s Codec calls were also referenced.
While the poker glitch has a pretty high chance of occurring throughout the game,RDR2is also the subject of another popular glitch involving a bridge.Red Dead Redemption 2’s bugged wooden bridgecan act as a human slingshot, sending the player character flying into the air. When used in a certain way,RDR2players can even exploit this to explore some otherwise unreachable locations. This goes to show that even though most video game bugs can be annoying, some of them can inject a bit of fun into a gamer’s playthrough.
