Red Dead Onlineis a popular multiplayer experience that prides itself in the almost endless amount of freedom it offers players. From an expansive open-world filled with diverse NPCs to the ability forRed Dead Onlineplayers to build amoonshine enterprise, Rockstar Games' action-adventure Western tends to have a hands-off approach to gameplay. With that said, one player has broken one of its most infamous restrictions by using a hilarious bridge glitch.
For the uninitiated, Mexico has played a pivotal part in the overall narrative of theRed Dead Redemptionfranchise since its initiation. Not only does the North American country serve as a metaphor for many details, themes, features that are inseparable from the Western series, but Mexico was integral toRed Dead Redemption’splot, with the second act of the game’s story taking place there as John Marston tracks down his former gang mate Javier Escuella. However, Mexico was unfortunately absent from the sequel,which left manyRed Dead Redemption 2fans disappointed.

Although now, despite this in-game restriction, Reddit user ClayCanoe has posted a short 29-second-long clip of them breaking the invisible land-lock barrier but with devastatingly hilarious consequences. Leaving many gamers both amused and confused atanother funny glitch inRed Dead Online, the video starts bizarrely enough with the player throwing knives into the planks of the bridge to bug it. As the bridge glitches, ClayCanoe steps onto it, which causes their character to rag-doll and scream as they are flung into the sky.
TheRed Dead Onlineplayer flies through the air, high above the ground and across the border, until they swan dive headfirst into Mexican soil. Albeit, before the death screen is prompted, ClayCanoe manages to catch a glimpse of a fully rendered canyon, complete with shrubs, tumbleweed, and detailed rock formations. With all of this stunning graphical steppe just sitting untouched on the horizon of the map, it has left manyplayers craving forRed Dead OnlineMexico updatethat does the iconic land justice.
After all, sinceRed Dead Onlinehas received a standalone release,the game has seen a lot of growth as Rockstar somewhat continues to support the title in some interesting ways. With that in mind, the idea of expanding on the regions seems like it would be an interesting integration that could bring new activities, missions, or heists.
Until that day arrives, players will have to take matters into their own hands. However, whether it be glitches or full-onRed Dead Redemption 2Mexico mods, it’s clear the community is ready to explore the region and will continue to do so even if Rockstar Games states otherwise.
Red Dead Onlineis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
