Some of my favorite moments with Rockstar Red Dead Redemption 2 It involved setting out on a march across the dusty plains, with nothing more than a friendly horse to carry me and a pack full of goods. I listened to the soft sound of my horse's hooves and just enjoyed the atmosphere. Those quiet moments are lovely, but what if there was a much more dangerous alternative? What if every time you left Dutch's camp you were attacked by horse-shaped missiles and runaway carriages? This is a question that few players are brave enough to ask, but it is truly a sight to behold.
Streamer Blurbs created a mod that makes “all chariots and horses travel at supersonic speeds. “Now it's a horror game.” Blurbs posted a supercut of some moments on their X account and it's really scary. Are you trying to get to the city? You're going to be devastated. In the steppes? You are not safe; a carriage could pass by you at any moment. Navigating a crowded urban center like St. Denis seems downright impossible. It's chaotic and ridiculous, in the style of comedian Tom Walker's interpretation of grand theft car 4 with an ultra speed mod enabled.
While Grand Theft Auto is potentially more dangerous, as Liberty City's streets are narrow and packed with cars, it seems Red Dead Redemption's austere historical setting may be just as risky. In a 12-minute video showing the mod, Arthur is thrown into the sky, crushed under the hooves, thrown across the plains, and set on fire.
The entire video has the feel of the first few hours of a horse apocalypse movie. Pedestrians crash into columns, bodies are thrown into the air, and the citizens of the West are in a constant state of terror and alarm. Personally, I'd also be pretty upset if my horse had the power to throw me half way across the entire city. There are also some wild physics mods that are activated by a rowboat, and Blurbs can send their poor victims into the air, flying in an infinite circle powered by a glitchy rowboat.
This video has some excellent hijinks, and while I treasure the serene moments of tranquility I find in Red Dead, it's a lot of fun to watch the unbridled chaos unfold in the Blurbs game. Rockstar has built a big, beautiful world, one that is perhaps best enjoyed by taking a walk.
