Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Loses Fully-Bonded Horse in Hilariously Quirky Fashion

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player experienced a comically underwhelming loss of their fully-bonded horse, adding to the game's quirky horse-related mishaps.

In the expansive world of Red Dead Redemption 2, horses are pivotal to the player's experience. Gamers often spend a substantial amount of time traversing the landscape on horseback, forging a unique bond with their equine companions. This bond can be cultivated by taking care of the horse, enhancing its stamina and other attributes. However, as one Red Dead Redemption 2 enthusiast discovered, horses can be lost in rather unexpected ways.

A Reddit user known as jld2k6 shared an image from their Red Dead Redemption 2 playthrough, depicting the demise of their beloved horse, which inexplicably walked into a campfire. Despite having maxed out the bond with the horse, it met its peculiar end in an unconventional manner. Fortunately, jld2k6 managed to salvage the situation by closing Red Dead Redemption 2 using Alt + F4, effectively resolving the issue. He also recounted another amusing anecdote of losing a horse during a cutscene, as it was struck by an oncoming train.

The comments section saw fans amusingly interpreting Kieran's expression in the picture, with some speculating he appeared disappointed while others jokingly accused him of being the culprit. Several players expressed frustration at random horse deaths in Red Dead Redemption 2, leading them to avoid purchasing expensive horses in the game. It seems that losing horses in unconventional ways is a recurring theme, as another player inadvertently blew up their horse while attempting to open a safe. Some users recommended reloading a previous save if such incidents occurred during their playthroughs.

Since the game's release, many gamers have shared clips and videos highlighting the humorous and bizarre ways their horses have met their end in Red Dead Redemption 2. In a recent example, a player lost their cherished horse due to a glitch, sending them soaring into the sky after jumping on a fence. All in all, jld2k6's experience serves as yet another entertaining addition to the list of peculiar horse mishaps in the game.
