Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Has Rare Lawman Altercation

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player has somehow managed to trigger a rare knife attack from a lawman in the game. This kind of attack is certainly different from how cops usually react in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Despite being almost six years old, the action-adventure game continues to draw significant traction and attracts players old and new. The critically and commercially successful title holds a special place in the hearts of many in the gaming community, owing to its rich world and compelling story. As a result, Red Dead Redemption 2 has become one of the best-selling games ever released.

A recent Reddit video posted by Kindly_Budget_6462 shows the unfortunate Red Dead Redemption 2 player unexpectedly getting stabbed to death by a police officer in broad daylight. Notably, the attacking NPC makes a menacing run towards the protagonist before gutting him in the chest. This behavior deviates from the common modus operandi of the in-game police. When the men in uniform have really had enough of a miscreant, they mostly resort to shooting instead of doing things the old-fashioned way with a blade. Interestingly, the stabbing animation shows a glitch where the officer’s free hand goes right through Arthur’s back. While the post’s author didn’t have an explanation of how this reaction from the officer was produced, they revealed experimenting with Red Dead Redemption 2 cheat codes during that gaming session.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Falls Prey to a Lawman’s Surprise Move

As expected, several Reddit users expressed being amused at this unique incident with the lawman. One of them commented, “I may be out of ammo but not out of options.” Another user also claimed that this kind of thing happens if the player has already disarmed the officer beforehand, leaving him without any guns to use.

Even though it can’t be said for sure what causes a lawman to react in this way, it’s exciting to see the community still discovering new things in the open-world game even after years. Besides finding new ways to be taken down by the cops, players are also coming up with surprising ways to evade Red Dead Redemption 2‘s law enforcement.

As players keep exploring the sprawling world of Red Dead Redemption 2, developer Rockstar Games is busy working on its next major open-world experience, Grand Theft Auto 6. The fans of the crime-focused series are set to finally get a sequel after over a decade-long wait. As shared by the American developer, GTA 6 will hit the stores in 2025 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
