A Red Dead Redemption 2 glitch causes a supposedly dead bear to suddenly come back to life and attack.
Red Dead Redemption 2's open-world sandbox is filled with glitches and programming quirks, leading to an unpredictable and intense experience. Encounter with the undead bear has the potential to become a legendary tale of the Old West in Rockstar's critically acclaimed game.
A bear hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 took an alarming turn for one unfortunate player, serving as a harsh lesson in ensuring an animal is truly dead before attempting to harvest it. Rockstar's expansive Western-themed game has garnered widespread acclaim and financial success, thanks to its immersive storyline and meticulously crafted game world that transports players to a fictionalized version of the American frontier in the late 1800s.
Similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, Red Dead Redemption 2 offers a variety of captivating side activities alongside the main narrative, including hunting for food and gathering materials in the wild and lawless landscapes of the Old West. Players can also embark on Legendary Hunts, which involve tracking down specific animals in exchange for superior pelts. However, the game features predators like bears and cougars among its hunting options, and if Arthur Morgan, a former member of the notorious Van der Linde gang, isn't careful, he could easily become the hunted instead.
In Red Dead Redemption 2, animals are meticulously programmed to mimic their real-life behavior, but glitches can sometimes transform the game into a supernatural horror experience. A Reddit user, Temporary-Shirt-8783, had a terrifying encounter when they believed they had killed a bear, only for the animal to unexpectedly rise up and attack them while they were skinning it. This incident joins a collection of bizarre hunting stories shared by players since the game's release. From anticlimactic wolf deaths to Arthur being propelled into space due to glitches, Red Dead Redemption 2 has seen its fair share of programming malfunctions. Some Reddit users have even likened Temporary-Shirt-8783's disturbing encounter to the zombie-themed Undead Nightmare DLC from the original game.
Red Dead Redemption 2's lasting appeal is due in part to its expansive open-world sandbox, where unexpected glitches and programming quirks can lead to unpredictable occurrences. One such instance involved a dead bear mysteriously resurrecting and seeking revenge, providing a terrifying encounter for any aspiring cowboy. Despite the danger, this encounter could potentially become a legendary tale of the Old West, thanks to Temporary-Shirt-8783's ill-fated encounter with the relentless, skinless bear.
Red Dead Redemption 2 can be played on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
