Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan Gets Their Favorite Horse in Real Life

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player unlocked a real-life achievement by acquiring their favorite in-game horse for real. Developed by Rockstar Games, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action-packed adventure game set in the late 1800s American Wild West. It is a prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption, released in 2010, and follows the story of Arthur Morgan, an outlaw and member of the Van der Linde gang.

In Red Dead Redemption 2, horses play a crucial role beyond transportation. With over 19 different breeds ranging from the sturdy Ardennes to the swift Arabian, each horse possesses unique characteristics that influence its performance, temperament, and suitability for various tasks. Not only that, players can actually bond with their horses. Higher bonding levels unlock new maneuvers and abilities. Horses also aid players in hunting, combat, and exploration. They can carry pelts, carcasses, and other loot, making them indispensable companions for resource gathering and survival. Moreover, horses are essential during intense gunfights and encounters, especially in the multiplayer mode Red Dead Online.
