You don’t need us to tell you that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a heartbreaking tale. Odds are, if you’re reading this, you’ve lived through the pain of the story at least once already.
Given everything that happens in Rockstar Games’ sequel, you may have missed this chapter six detail.
If so, I can only apologise for the additional sorrow I’m about to cause.

Sometimes when Arthur is riding his horse, seeing the sights, he’ll break out into song to help pass the time.
It’s one of those in-game secrets that have brought joy to gamers.
In need of a good laugh? Watch the below Red Dead Redemption 2 video.
Unfortunately, the joy sound stops when we enter chapter six.
At this point in the game, everything is going wrong and Arthur is aware that he’s far from healthy.

This is when Arthur stops singing while riding.
We’d never noticed this change in demeanour before, but one Red Dead Redemption 2 fan spotted it with ease.
The silence deafened them.
“He stops singing to himself in chapter six,” Redditor -_-lolz revealed, further causing us to shed a tear for Arthur.

In response, fellowTravelerMarx remarked on how “sad” it is that Arthur stops singing, before suggesting a song Arthur should have sung during the events of that bleak chapter.
And you thought this Red Dead Redemption 3 teaser was heartbreaking...!
The only way to avoid watching Arthur lose his zest for life is to either stop playing the game before it gets bad, or by using mods.
We’re sorry that this “wholesome asf” moment has now been tainted for you, but at least you have several chapters worth of singing to make the most of Arthur’s whimsy.

One fan suggests you head to Cotorra Springs. “He sings all the damn time,” commented PropertyNo593.
We’ll always have Cotorra Springs, folks.
