As an open-world, sandbox experience,Red Dead Redemption 2has plenty for players to do besides working on the main story. While the narrative of Arthur trying to save his gang from collapse proves to be an immersive one for many, for those who want to experience the other parts of cowboy lifeRed Dead Redemption 2contains lots of side activities.
Alongside fishing, gambling, and taking a bath once in a while,Red Dead Redemption 2players can also go out hunting if they wish, taking down all sorts of animals from small rabbits to giant bison to harvest them for meat and crafting improvements.

Despite there being plenty of hunting options inRed Dead Redemption 2, one modder decided to overhaul the system, making it even more realistic and adding some quality of life features to the mechanic. Currently available on the Nexus, the Hunting Grounds mod was created by Shtivi, and givesRed Dead Redemption 2’sanimalsa lot more diversity, giving different creatures their own sizes and weights within a species. This means players won’t stumble into a herd of bison or deer that look exactly the same anymore.
Also, when tracking animals inRed Dead Redemption 2, the mod adds blood trails that the player can follow, rather than using their eagle-eye vision. Should an animal be wounded with a bullet or arrow but not killed, they will run away, leaving the trail behind for players to follow. ConsideringRed Dead Redemption 2is a game that pursues realismin many ways, it does make sense that the Hunting Grounds mod makes hunting that much grittier.
Apart from this hunting overhaul mod, there have been plenty of other creations out there that change the wayRed Dead Redemption 2is played. These mods can be simple alterations to weapons, to the addition of anew single-player campaign inRed Dead Redemption 2that features its own custom character. For those wanting more realism in their experience, another mod overhauled the weather system, flora, and the AI of humans and animals inRed Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
