The clip posted by SteveHood on Reddit shows the player in a boat on a small lake. The player was coming to the aid of a stranded character, but when the player pans the camera around they notice the bear standing off into the distance at the edge of the lake, ominously waiting to potentially strike. It isn’t until an automatic scene where the player assists the stranded character into their boat that the bear decides to make its move, as the open world remains largely unaffected by the triggered cut scene. Because of this locked scene, the bear swims towards the canoe without the player having any chance to escape. They have nothing to do but watch in horror as the bear gets closer and closer. Reasons such as this show whybears shouldn’t be underestimated inRed Dead Redemption 2, as any player is never truly safe, even when surrounded by a body of water.
In a strange turn of events, as the bear makes its final approach to the canoe where it is almost touching it, the predator quickly turns around and heads back to the shoreline. The player seemed to have been saved by the cut scene continuing by the time the bear approached the boat, meaning that the game would not allow the bear to attack the player because they were already locked into another event. The cut scene ends as the bear was swimming back to shore, giving the player enough time to escape before it had the chance to change its mind again.Bears on the attack inRed Dead Redemption 2have backed down before, but not in ways such as this.
Red Dead Redemption 2bearsare full of surprises, but it helps if players know where to look. Even so, moments like this can’t necessarily be replicated given the obtuse nature of the game’s open world and the level of unpredictability that it presents, making these clips all the more meaningful in showcasing the things that make this game special.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
