Horsing Around: Red Dead Redemption 2 Glitch Turns Arthur Morgan into a Wanted Criminal for Bonding with His Steed

An online Red Dead Redemption 2 player has stumbled upon a peculiar glitch that transforms the game's protagonist, Arthur Morgan, into a wanted criminal simply for showing affection to his horse. While the bond between Arthur and his horse is a crucial element in Red Dead Redemption 2, this odd bug threatens to disrupt that connection.

Red Dead Redemption 2, known for its immense scale and attention to detail, occasionally falls prey to bugs. Despite the game's ambition, these glitches, although not game-breaking, can be strange and, in some cases, amusing. One such entertaining bug previously granted Arthur Morgan the power of Thor. The horse glitch, although peculiar, falls into the category of glitches that add a humorous element to the player's experience.

A Redditor named AMXshawnathan shared a video of the bizarre bug with the game's online community. In the footage, Arthur is seen brushing his horse's hair while strolling through Saint Denis. Surprisingly, this simple act results in a $5 bounty for Arthur, accompanied by threats of violence from lawmen, ultimately leading to his arrest. The eccentric behavior of Red Dead Redemption 2's NPCs is already notorious, and this glitch is another example of the unexpected occurrences when something goes awry in the game's mechanics.

Some players speculated about the glitch's cause, suggesting that Arthur may have had an unpaid bounty triggered when spending too much time in front of lawmen. However, AMXshawnathan vehemently denied this theory, leaving the true cause of the issue shrouded in mystery.

While the Red Dead Redemption 2 community remains active, anticipation for any news related to a potential sequel is growing. Although a sequel is likely years away due to ongoing development on Grand Theft Auto 6, Roger Clark, the actor behind Arthur Morgan, believes Red Dead Redemption 3 is inevitable. Given the series' impressive sales figures, this prediction seems plausible. Whenever the next installment arrives, fans can only hope that any bugs encountered fall into the more amusing and "fun" category.
