Some of my favorite moments with Rockstar\u2019s Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> involved striking out on the dusty plains, with nothing but a friendly horse to carry me<\/a> and a package full of goods. I\u2019d listen to the gentle clip clop of my horse\u2019s hooves and simply enjoy the atmosphere. Those quiet moments are lovely, but what if there was a much more dangerous alternative? What if every time I left Dutch\u2019s camp, I was assailed by horse-shaped missiles and out-of-control carriages? This is a question few gamers are brave enough to ask, but it\u2019s truly a sight to behold.<\/p>\n

Streamer Blurbs<\/a> created a mod that makes it so \u201call wagons and horses travel at super sonic speeds. It\u2019s now a horror game.\u201d Blurbs posted a supercut of some moments on his X account, and it\u2019s truly terrifying. Trying to get into town? You\u2019re gonna get wrecked. Out on the steppes? You\u2019re not safe; a carriage might careen past you at any moment. Navigating a crowded urban center like St. Denis seems utterly impossible. It\u2019s chaotic and ridiculous, in the style of comedian Tom Walker\u2019s playthrough of Grand Theft Auto 4<\/em><\/a> with an ultra-speed mod enabled.<\/p>\n

I modded RDR2 so that all wagons and horses travel at super sonic speeds.<\/p>\n

While <\/em>Grand Theft Auto is potentially more dangerous, since the streets of Liberty City are narrow and crowded with cars, it looks like the austere historical setting of Red Dead Redemption can be just as risky. In a 12-minute video demonstrating the mod, Arthur is thrown into the sky, crushed beneath hooves, launched over the plains, and set on fire.<\/p>\n
