A Red Dead Redemption 2 player has noticed a cool detail about the game’s hats, that shows just how much detail has been put into the game. Upon release, Red Dead Redemption 2 was a huge critical success, and fans have rewarded it with a community still dedicated to discovering everything the game has to offer.
Rockstar’s classic Western title has received plenty of praise over the years for its incredible attention to detail, with an unwavering commitment to realism that some consider to be excessive. After all, in Red Dead Redemption 2 even the hunting camps are filled with hidden details that many won’t discover across multiple playthroughs of the game. For many, these small details are exactly why they choose to return to this world, with it presenting a near-perfect representation of the Wild West.
The Red Dead Redemption 2 detail was shown off by Reddit user TastyBirds, who pointed out that in the rain, water collects and drips off the brim of the player’s hat. While this is only a small detail, it’s these minute details that come together and form the wider game that players have come to know and love. It’s unknown if it’s an actual physical water droplet, or if it’s an animation that plays off the hat in rainy weather, but the effect is certainly convincing either way.
Due to the sheer amount of details included in the game, it’s unlikely that players will ever find everything the game has hidden away. The fact that players are still discovering new things five years after release proves this. While hats in Red Dead Redemption 2 are only a tiny part of the experience, it’s great to see them still getting the same attention to detail as the rest of the game by Rockstar.
Despite no official announcement about the existence of a Red Dead Redemption 3, it’s safe to assume that one will be arriving at some point in the future. The great sales of Red Dead Redemption 2 ensure that it will at least be a consideration, even if it’s not an immediate priority for Rockstar. Right now, the developer seems to have its complete focus on the development of GTA 6, which will arrive at some point in the next few years. It’s unfortunate that the Red Dead Redemption sequel development is likely to suffer as a result, but all will be forgotten if the developer releases a brilliant game.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
