There’s a horse and buggy pile up in Red Dead Redemption 2, thanks to this hilarious and horrifying new mod. The mod increases the speed of horses to almost warp speed, and the results are both comical and disastrous.

The creator of the mod, known as Blurbs on YouTube, can’t make it thirty seconds in the game without his character meeting their demise. His mod unintentionally creates a horror game, as the horses show no mercy to any potential rider. This chaotic fun is showing the best of the Red Dead community, and why it makes it so much fun for others to engage with the game, even when things don’t go quite right.

Fast Traffic Mod Makes Horses A Bit Too Fast In Red Dead Redemption 2

Horse Power Is a Dangerous Thing in Red Dead

Creator carriages move so fast, they don’t kill the character immediately but instead go hurtling through the air and land on top of another character.

The utter chaos with the Old West backdrop is pretty funny, especially as Blurbs seems shocked at the unexpected chaos. Watching carriages go flying, or watching engers getting sucked out of their carriages due to the sheer velocity is wildly entertaining. It isn’t just the carriages Blurbs has to worry about – trains and rowboats will also launch themselves into space as he sits by and watches in stunned silence. The mod really doesn’t seem to do anything but cause mayhem, but perhaps that’s what makes it such an entertaining mod.

Like The Old Saying Goes, When Your Train Launches Itself Into Space, Wait For The Next One

Playing with this mod feels exceedingly stressful and not one I would do, especially if I was trying to play the game. While it is hysterical to watch two rowboats shoot off into the sky and then just fly around in circles, I can imagine this mod would be a disaster if a player actually wanted to get gaming done. Blurbs cannot make it through a sentence without his mod killing him almost immediately, so this may not be the best mod for story or playing purposes.

However, as Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the more beloved games, I think fun mods like this are important for those who just want to have fun and do something new with the game. The chaos it brings adds almost a post-apocalyptic horror element to the whole game that wouldn’t be present otherwise. It’s fun, and it’s silly, and it’s the perfect mod to just throw on if a player just wants to have some laughs. You never know when a carriage might fall right out of the sky and blast you into the ether, and that’s a pretty exciting feature to add to a game that's already as vast and expansive as Red Dead Redemption 2.
