"Red Dead Redemption 2" is still a goldmine of secrets despite being released in 2018. Its previous installment even made its way to Nintendo Switch. With that, fans hope that the newer version will be playable on Switch 2.
Rockstar Games, well-known for filling their games with small, detailed nuances, ensured that "Red Dead Redemption 2" was no different. Similar to "GTA 5" before it, this open-world game is filled with features and subtle interactions that most players don't discover on a standard playthrough.
Some players shared their discovered secrets in the survival game.
Vomit Tinted by Diet
One of the new secrets to rock the fanbase consists of a post on Reddit's "What's your favorite hidden detail in RDR2?" thread. A top comment delivered something close to unbelievable: depending on what the character ate for breakfast, your vomit appears differently.
"If you eat tinned sweetcorn before making yourself puke with burdock, etc, the puke will have yellow through it. If you eat tinned strawberries first, it'll have red through it," the commenter wrote.
They even went so far as to comment that by combining various foods, players can produce multi-colored vomit — a tiny but intriguing acknowledgment of realism within the game.
Fans were stunned by this discovery, with one commenting, "Bro the game can't stop surprising me more every day." And to be honest, we can't blame them — Rockstar's level of detail never fails to astound.
'Red Dead Redemption 2's' Attention to Detail Is Unmatched
The thread also pointed out other great details concealed in the game world. For example, Arthur Morgan's "stink lines" become more apparent when utilizing tracker vision if he hasn't bathed recently, another layer of realism added to the survival experience.
Another player told the tale of witnessing wildlife behavior. As he lined up a spotless shot on a three-star rabbit, an eagle swooped down and swiped the prey, showing just how real and vibrant the world of "RDR2" really is.
And it doesn't end there with animals. According to the Gaming Bible, NPCs also react realistically to unexpected situations. One player explained how if an NPC stumbles upon a corpse in the woods, they will look at it with disgust, keep going, but sooner or later, someone will go tell the sheriff about the body.
Following them at a distance, you can see the whole chain of events happen — from reporting the crime to watching deputies come out and pick up the body and return it to town.
'Red Dead Redemption 2' Is the Game That Continues to Give
What sets "Red Dead Redemption 2" apart isn't so much its big map or its weird story— it's all the infinite small details that continue to surprise players years later. Each campfire chat, each animal encounter, each everyman action can and will shock.
With all the discoveries yet to be discovered, it's obvious that "RDR2" is more than just a typical game experience. It's a living, breathing world ready to pay off the most inquisitive players. Fans wonder if they could see these kinds of secrets in the controversial "GTA 6."
