Red Dead Redemption 2 player shares game's 'unluckiest death'

Whether it's the Red Dead or Grand Theft Auto series, Rockstar Games' worlds have some of the best examples of environmental storytelling there ever was in the video game industry.

The worlds from each of those franchises are vast and aside from the blatant storytelling that is told to progress a campaign, if you’re willing to explore, you’ll find that there are many hidden stories to tell, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prime example.

One of the best examples that comes to mind is the Sasquatch aka Big Foot rumour that existed with the release of 2004's GTA: San Andreas. That rumour had me searching for countless hours for a mythical creature that never even existed in the game.

This incredible scope of exploration also means that there are plenty of ways to die in Rockstar games, and fans of RDR2 have been sharing their worst possible deaths. “What is the unluckiest death you have seen in a Red Dead game? Mine has to be the meteorite that killed a whole family,” asks Redditor Touny420 opening up the discussion on the thread.

“Stumbling upon this one was an experience,” replied LemonManDude. “Not as unlucky, but sadder is that one cabin northwest (?) of Valentine called Clawson's Rest where a mom left to get back money that was stolen from her family. The kids were left behind but mom never returned, so they starved to death. Was quite harrowing to find that.”

“This one and the family that died from carbon monoxide poisoning where you find the fountain pen,” suggested SnooLobsters4972, with Legoboyking adding: “I believe the door was also locked or boarded up as you can only get in by running into the door or kicking it open.”

“The guy that just wanna help his horse and got kicked in the face by it. The fella doesn't deserve it,” responded STANDARD_POTATO. “If you get the time right, you talk to him and he lifts his body up in time to not get his face kicked” explained bknasty97.

In related news, fans wish that they could experience Red Dead Redemption 2 for the very first time and others have only just discovered a secret ending.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is also backwards compatible with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
