Red Dead Redemption 2 has a grim secret that’s been staring us in the face

Red Dead Redemption 2is quite literally the gift that keeps on giving with its exquisitely detailed open world.

Fans have been unearthing hidden tidbits of lore, open world encounters, and map secrets for several years now. This we’ve all come to know.

I’m sure you, like me, are imagining that at some point soon, we’ll run out of such secrets to uncover. That’s simply not the case though. They just keep on coming.

This particular discovery concerns one grim secret linking all ofRed Dead Redemption 2’s major locations.

Take a look at some of our favouriteRed Dead Redemption 2viral clips from over the years.

“Fun fact, in the story, there was a massacre in every city,” MrRetnuhbegan, although I’m not sure this fact is particularly “fun”.

“I was playing the story for the third time and I noticed that in each city, there’s a story mission where we end up killing everyone.”

MrRetnuh then listed the massacre in Strawberry, the bloodbath in Valentine, Sean’s death in Rhodes, the massacre in Saint Denis, Dutch’s killing of Cornwall prompting chaos in Annihilation, and the Van Horn massacre.

“And they wonder why the Pinkertons keep finding them,”jokedKhris_Ivanov05 about the rather obvious trail of bloodshed.

“I mean, what’s the point of Rockstar making these amazing towns if they’re not going to have you fight your way through them?”addedAndrado.

It’s a solid point. Whilst a peaceful and violence-lessRed Dead Redemption 2sounds quant and relaxing, it might not exactly make for the most thrilling game.

Black_Knight_7summed upmy own thoughts when playing the game: “I just played for the first time and I was like, ‘For a bunch of guys tryna stay under the radar, we are leaving bodies everywhere.’”

Let’s hope the game’s next unearthed secret is mildly cheerier.
