Red Dead Redemption 2 player stunned by new open-world event after 3,500 hours

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player has discovered an open-world event they’d never seen before, after 3,500 hours on the game.

While Rockstar Games fans wait for GTA VI, which is still amazing people with its first trailer, they’ll have to settle for Red Dead Redemption 2 instead.

To be fair, that’s not a bad thing, in fact if GTA VI is anything like Red Dead Redemption 2 it’ll surely be Rockstar’s next masterpiece. Red Dead Redemption 2 is still heavily praised to this day, and while the story is a masterclass in writing compelling characters and plotlines, it's the open world that really shines as its best feature.

Players on their umpteenth playthroughs are still finding new things to see and do over five years after the initial release, like this player who found a double rainbow 3,500 hours into the game.

Other players in the comments were equally amazed, as while some have already found a double rainbow during their playthroughs, the spectacle is still quite a rare occurrence, and not one that can be triggered on purpose.

One player said “Oh that’s awesome. I’ve never seen this either. I know this exact phrase is said in EVERY detail thread, but it still holds true: It’s crazy that we are still discovering things in a game that has been out for 5 years now.”

Another added “I'm more shocked at the 3500 hours.”

Finally one aptly said “I’ve never seen this before, this game never ceases to amaze me.”

Red Dead Redemption 2 is truly the gift that keeps on giving, and I don’t think we’ll ever be done uncovering its secrets and mysteries. Hopefully GTA VI will feature an equally fascinating open world with just as much to see and do.
