Note that the glitch is replicable in any cutscene that has you begin on your horse.<\/p>\n<p>  Red Dead Redemption 2&#8217;s Glitches Are Always Kinda Special To Experience<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Naturally, this has caused a bit of discussion within the Red Dead Redemption 2 community, with many poking fun at the glitch but also wondering if there are some gameplay benefits to exploiting the bug.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cDo you think the stamina XP ticks up during these? Would be awesome to hop off your horse right before a cutscene montage of you travelling across the map and levelling your stamina a ton in seconds lol,\u201d reads one comment on <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/RDR2\/comments\/1p4r0lg\/comment\/nqfpr8k\/\">Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cReminds me of when, as a child, all your friends would bring their bikes out but you forgot yours,\u201d another joked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cThat&#8217;s exactly the homie you want having your back,\u201d reads another.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0YmMxODc2MTUyZmNkOWYwNy9ibHRiNWIyODg0.webp\"\/>GTA VI Countdown on X<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The glitch is a result of Red Dead Redemption 2 using real-time, dynamic cutscenes. They\u2019re not pre-rendered videos, which allows for things like the player\u2019s custom Arthur appearance to be retained during cutscenes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Most modern game engines support real-time cutscenes, making them incredibly beneficial for RPGs and other types of big open-world adventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It does, on the other hand, mean that weird bugs like this are prone to happening if you perform some kind of weird trickery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Others have noted that throwing a fire bottle at a character and then immediately triggering a cutscene will result in them being set ablaze while the cutscene lasts, creating some weird but hilarious situations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">This kind of in-engine oddity has been a thing with the RAGE engine since Grand Theft Auto IV, but are more obvious in later iterations of the engine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It&#8217;ll be fun to see if this behaviour will persist with <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/gta-6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GTA VI<\/a>, which will also use the RAGE engine. It releases for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S on 19 November 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Read Next: <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/news\/platform\/pc\/best-red-dead-redemption-2-mods-247673-20260319\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">11 Essential Red Dead Redemption 2 Mods That Improve the Game<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Red Dead Redemption 2 players are sharing a hilarious glitch involving Arthur, and I can see it being&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":397752,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[111,139,69,82252,82253,59207,145],"class_list":["post-397751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-red-dead-redemption","tag-red-dead-redemption-2","tag-rockstar-games","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397751\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
