Red Dead Redemption 2 player murders every NPC in game just to see what happens

You could opt for the quiet life, but where’s the fun in that? Surely, it’s much more entertaining to go on an in-game killing spree instead.

This isn’t the first time a gamer has decided to punish NPCs simply for existing – a Skyrim player wiped out 5,000 characters in one go just because they could.

It seems that bloodlust continues, only now in the Wild West of Red Dead Redemption 2.

This is what happens when you break a man in Red Dead Redemption 2

Granted, the game isn’t exactly free of bloodshed, but you don’t have to murder this many NPCs...

In a YouTube video by Deelwheels, we see what happens when John loses his cool after failing to win at any of the card games he joins in on.

Frustration turns to anger and John just snaps.

According to Deelwheels, by the end of their rampage, they’d taken out approximately 2,000 NPCs.

Rockstar Games fans find this breaking point hilarious to watch, with many joking how Arthur pleaded with John to turn away from such a destructive life, only for him to embrace it instead during this playthrough.

Others, however, marvelled at the depths of depravity some RDR2 players plummet to.

“He lost at gambling and proceeded to murder everyone in the entire game,” posted user @crazy922blade.

They added, “The funny part is that this guy was actually pretty chill compared to what other people would do in this situation [...] Low honour Red Dead players are scary, man.”

Oh yes, it seems dishonourable players typically play faster and looser than Deelwheels. “Least insane dishonourable player,” commented @Froshly.

When all hope is lost – and the heartbreak of the game gets too much – the only way to settle things is to go out blastin’.

If such a bloody outcome doesn’t sit right with you, there’s a far more wholesome reunion between John and Arthur you can enjoy instead.

Think of it as a way to cleanse your soul after all the horrors you’ve just witnessed.
