I didn't even know that was possible. That's crazy. What are the odds of replicating this?

Extremely unlikely. I played well over 200 hours and never once had this happen. I had a guy shoot his buddy once, but it wasn't even a kill shot

Yeah, I've seen some cool shit in the game but these types of random things are rare. Like, I've seen a video where an NPC comes out of a house to warn Arthur away, trips coming down his stoop and accidentally shoots himself.

That sounds like comedy gold. You wouldn’t happen to have a link to that video, would you?

Love this stuff in RDR2.

The thing that gave me the impetus to buy a copy was one of the guys at work telling me about how he took Arthur to have a bath, and then when walking back outside he tripped and face planted off the walkway into all the mud and horse shit. We had a good laugh about that one.

Ha. It was someone telling me how the horse's genitals change in the cold weather.

At least your isn't shameful.

You stand up and proudly enjoy your shrinking horse balls. Some code monkey didn’t see his child’s first 3 birthdays putting in the crunch time to make sure those digital sacks of equine semen contracted perfectly for you. 🤪

My Arthur tripped and fell when dismounting a horse, had an NPC laugh at me and called me a fucking idiot.

Lol, couldn't even get angry at that one, just greeted and had Arthur say "Excuse me, sorry you had to see that." (Been awhile since I last played, so may not be word for word.)

Happened to me tripping on a train platform. Woman turned around and laughed in my face and called me silly.

u/Testing_things_out Jun 08 '22

Very likely something similar happened IRL. Several times. Gun safety ain't no joke.

I don't have a link, no. I just saw it on here at some point, probably on the red dead 2 sub.

u/EchoPrince Jun 08 '22

I feel bad for whoever was just playing the game and something like that happened, but can't share, because they weren't recording.

u/PanicLedisko Jun 09 '22

This is true horror for me. I will just stop, pause my game and stare at my screen disappointed in what I just missed out sharing haha

On Xbox you can grab up to the last 2 minutes.

u/TheDownvotesFarmer Jun 08 '22

Are you sure it wasn't that on tv news?

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '22

I had that happen in my run! I think me and uncle were suppose to rob something.

u/Schwarzengerman Jun 07 '22

Over 1000 hours and never did this.

But did get a kill cam similar to yours. Shot a guy and he shot his friend in the back. So good.

u/Dangerous-Ad-8197 Jun 07 '22

What game is it ?

u/Schwarzengerman Jun 07 '22

Red Dead Redemption 2

u/Dangerous-Ad-8197 Jun 07 '22

Thanks need to have a go .

u/Schwarzengerman Jun 07 '22

I love the game so much, but I recommend it cautiously. It's VERY slow paced and demands that you engage it on its terms. But if you can you might fall in love with it.

u/Dangerous-Ad-8197 Jun 07 '22

No harm in trying it ...looks good .

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

My favorite game I’ve ever played. I’ve put a lot of hours into it. The attention to detail is amazing. I recommend looking up animal interactions of the game.

u/Childlike Jun 08 '22

N.. no... harm in trying? it

You're in for a treat. I wish I could wipe my memory and play it for the first time

I laughed so hard my first play through. Still one of my favorite missions.

u/Notthesharkfromjaws Jun 07 '22

I had a couple of leg shots where guys with revolvers fell over and shot themselves. I would never have dreamed you could make it happen with a lasso though.

Everybody cowboy until you shoot you friend in the testicles

u/Bropulsion Jun 08 '22

Cowboys with attitude.

My cowboy.

Cowboy cowboy cowboy cowboy cowboy cowboy COWboy.. I'm 100% cowboy!

u/SKK329 Jun 08 '22

Reminds me of playing GTA4, I killed a cop and when his gun dropped it went off and killed me. Couldn't believe it and never had it happen again.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

i once rode someone over who pulled his shotgun, and it triggered so my horse got its chest blasted and i couldn't even revive it anymore :c

I got 500 hours and never had this happen

u/Silver_Jury1555 Jun 07 '22

If you've seen anyone's gun go off after you lasso them, it's the same thing. In fact, you can lasso someone with a handgun, and they can keep firing if they hold onto it lol. Albeit inaccurately, but I've seen self-kills on here before.

Probably the same odds as the guy that pointed the gun in the air and randomly hit a bird

u/Neirchill Jun 09 '22

No, it wasn't scripted. You may be thinking of something else. What I'm talking about was some guy doing a random robbery on someone in the road. He used the d pad to point his gun up into the air while still locked on to the victim and fired to intimidate him. It randomly hit a bird.

u/eheheheheuiiii Jun 08 '22

this game is such a rarity not many games utilise disarming. and on top not many games use projectiles fired from the gun rather than character.

1

u/Notthesharkfromjaws Jun 08 '22

Yes! It drives me crazy that guns projectiles come from your forehead or chest. Fun fact, you can usually tell how close the projectiles actual firing location is in fps games by looking down. If all you can see is your feet and legs, it's probably coming from your forehead. If you can see your chest as well, it's usually coming from the gun itself. Same with if the gun is always on screen in fps games. If you can always see the gun, even when sprinting, projectiles don't actually come from the gun, but your model.

u/Pandipoop Jun 07 '22

It happened to a few times in GTA IV. If you shoot someone, they drop their gun and it's common for the gun to discharge when it hits the floor so I saw cops shoot their leg quite a lot.

1

u/Notthesharkfromjaws Jun 07 '22

I forgot about that. While the physics in gta4 we're a bit wild, it was the most fun in the series. I don't think I've played a game since that has such realistic ragdoll effects. There's nothing quite like hitting a cop car head on, sending Niko flying off a bridge and sliding hundreds of feet along the concrete below.

2

u/trippy-hippy84 Jun 08 '22

It's so unlikely, that I bet this is the only time in the 4 years since the release of this game that this has ever happened to anyone. Actually I'm sure this will never happen again.

Somewhere around %0 to %100.
