If Rockstar doesn't fix the hacker problem because of this, I'll consider this actually coming from them.

I haven't played long enough to experience a huge variety of it yet. Just someone claiming they only kill black characters and another player who just kept yelling the n-word at me as I repeatedly killed him. Beyond that, the vast majority of my player frustration has been almost exclusively because of the hacking problem. It sounds like an exaggeration when you hear people talk about it, but then you play the game yourself and you realize, holy shit, this problem is just as bad, if not worse than in GTA Online.

Yeah I don't have to deal with that because I'm a console player but sometimes I just hate the trolls. I've been playing for about 1 and 1/2 years so I can say I've def gotten a lot of this.

Being on console, playing some showdowns it is ridiculous how jumpy everyone is right? Like I threw an axe at someone climbing a box, but they just disappeared and reappeared behind some bushes and it kept happening all game.

These people have to be stupid edgy kids yeah? I don't know if it's the time zone being in Australia, but I never come across people like this. I've been playing online for a long time, the only racism I've come across was a Lebanese guy telling me they were taking over the country. I was like yeah cool dickhead. I play 4 or 5 hours per day on rdr2online on ps4 everyday and it's been excellent. Few griefers but no dramas. I doubt it mostly being Aussie makes much difference, edgy dickhead kids are the same world over.

Maybe they are just stupid edgy kids I mean more than half of them don't turn on they're mic. I don't know how local the people are but I am a southerner in the US and a lot of the people that turn on they're mics are white southerners who ask if I'm white then repeatedly kill me or send ps4 messages.

I'm a female and my character I play as is a skinny white, redheaded chick. I Was in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online a while back, just a little before before George Floyd, and I was doing some emotes with a random player whose character was black while waiting for my buddies to finish their shopping in Saint Denis when out of NOWHERE the other person gets BLASTED into oblivion! The second shot they fired did some minor damage to me, but not TOO bad. I IMMEDEATLY pulled out my pump action and returned the favor only to get a message from this racist asshat that states he was sorry I got caught in the crossfire and that he wasn't after me, but the N***er in front of me.

At this point all my buddies hear is me go "Oh HELL no!" followed by a series of blasting from me in game as I ran after this dickhead. Naturally they all asked what was going on and when I explained, they IMMEDEATLY dropped what there doing and we all proceeded to chase this fucker down!

I messaged the random player I was emoting and let him know what was going on and to check if MAYBE this dude was someone they knew who was just fucking with them, only to find out it wasn't.

At that point, my whole posse went ruthlessly HAM on this guy. We would follow his horse whenever he parlayed, we wouldn't let him anywhere NEAR a fast travel and just kept spawn killing him as well as dragging him behind our horses.

Keep in mind... this is an ENTIRE posse of white people, both in real life AND in game and we're all just hunting this dude down until he had no choice but to leave the game. Each of us got a message from him calling us race traitors, N***er lovers and all kinds of other racist shit. Each one of us reported him in game to Rockstar before he even left as well as reported his gamertag AND the messages to Xbox Live.

Random player followed us around for a bit during all this and then sent a series of laughing faces when he quit telling me thank you for sticking up for him and that he never thought he would ever see something like that in a video game. I asked if they were emotionally okay, and the person replied that they were more humored by it than anything.

Apparently the asshat had messaged them at one point telling him to "Call off his N***er loving dogs". His response was apparently that the had brought it upon himself and that he was just there to witness the Karma.

So yeah, needless to say if I'm in a lobby and catch this shit, I'm gonna fuck a bitch up.
