A keen-eyed player of Red Dead Redemption 2 recently uncovered an intriguing aspect related to the game’s notorious invisible snipers on Guarma. These stealthy marksmen, implemented by Rockstar as a boundary-keeping measure, have a peculiar quirk that went unnoticed by many.
Even years after its release, players continue to unearth captivating details in Red Dead Redemption 2, a testament to Rockstar’s meticulous attention to every tiny aspect. The immersive world they’ve crafted entices players to explore again and again. The depth of this game is such that even after an impressive 2,000 hours of gameplay, some veterans still find unexpected surprises.
In a recent online post, user -_-lolz shared a compelling discovery from their antics in Guarma. While attempting to explore beyond the set borders, they found that carrying a hefty animal effectively blocked the sniper’s shots. Remarkably, this setup could even eliminate guards if the camera was properly aligned. This confirmed that the sniper’s bullets originate from the player’s perspective, leading one commenter to whimsically conclude that “the invisible sniper is us.”
The idea that these covert snipers could be manipulated to take out NPCs sparked an interesting conversation among gamers. Although the presence of these snipers is well-known, the revelation that their bullets have a tangible origin opened up new gameplay possibilities. Some noted this mechanic mirrors the way the game manages the unseen gunmen in New Austin, suggesting a similar strategy might let players survive there as Arthur as well.
As players continue to explore every nook and cranny of Red Dead Redemption 2, it becomes apparent that a sequel is still a distant dream. Rockstar is busy finalizing Grand Theft Auto 6, slated for release later this year. Any hopes for a new Red Dead game are likely years away unless Rockstar is hiding something under wraps.
Until then, the gaming community will keep delving into the rich, intricate world of Red Dead Redemption 2, fueled by new discoveries and the unending allure of its detail-laden universe.
