“Red Dead Redemption 2” path of flames glitch: Where to find it
-
The company behind “Grand Theft Auto” just launched a
huge new game in “Red Dead Redemption 2” for Xbox One and
PlayStation 4. -
The game is absolutely massive and surprisingly
polished. -
With millions of players putting “Red Dead Redemption
2” through its paces, the first major glitch has been
discovered: a roadway that causes spontaneous
combustion.
Like a nightmare pulled straight from HBO’s “Westworld,” the
first major glitch from the huge new Western-themed game “Red
Dead Redemption 2” involves the mass death of computerized
horses.
It’s one particular dirt path near the game’s town of Rhodes that
appears to be the culprit: Nearly anything that passes through
seemingly bursts into flames. That includes horses, people, and
carriages; one minute a carriage is riding on a dirt path, the
next it’s engulfed in flames.
As many videos attest, the area quickly becomes a horrific
graveyard of charred horses and riders after just a few minutes
of hanging around. The game’s world of computer people on
horseback and in carriages keeps feeding more and more fuel into
the undying invisible flames.

With a game the size of “Red Dead Redemption 2,” glitches are
bound to slip through during development.
Often, these glitches are far more mundane — your character walks
through something that should be solid, or a mission fails to
recognize you’ve completed its objective, or whatever else. But
every now and again something hilarious and horrifying comes
along that becomes instantly memorable.
In the case of one particular “Assassin’s Creed” game a few years
ago, it was a bizarre glitch that made faces disappear:
But in the case of “Red Dead Redemption 2,” the most widespread,
repeatable glitch we’ve seen thus far is this path of invisible
flames. Rockstar Games didn’t respond to a request for comment on
the glitch or a forthcoming update, but consider it more than
likely that the company behind “Red Dead Redemption 2” will
address it.
Check out the video below for a better idea of where the road is
and how to avoid it (beware that it’s quite graphic, like the
game itself):
