One terrifying scene from Red Dead Redemption 2 is a bear swimming out to Arthur’s boat. It turns out that, much as in the real world, bears in Red Dead Redemption 2 can swim, adding another element of surprise to the game’s unforgiving open world.
Several gameplay videos for Red Dead Redemption 2 have shown gamers getting dragged off by a bear in the middle of a cut scene. A bear swims out to meet Arthur face-to-face, and the player can do nothing to stop it. This is maybe the most horrific scene in Red Dead Redemption 2.
The gamer is seen in a boat on a small lake in the clip uploaded by SteveHood on Reddit. A bear stands menacingly at the side of the lake as the player approaches to rescue a stranded character, but the player quickly realizes that the bear is far away in the distance. As the open world is unaffected by the triggered cut scene, the bear waits until the player helps the stranded character into their boat before acting.
Because the location is locked, the bear will swim straight for the canoe, leaving the player no time to get out of its way. They can only stand there in dread as the bear approaches them. This is just one example of why players in Red Dead Redemption 2 shouldn’t take bears for granted, even in the middle of a lake or river.
Bears in Red Dead Redemption 2 are full of secrets, but players need to know where to seek them. Due to the open and unpredictable nature of the game’s universe, it would be challenging to recreate scenes like these, making these videos all the more effective in showing the game’s unique qualities.
By the time the bear reached the boat, the cut scene had already progressed, saving the player from harm. The game wouldn’t let the bear assault the player since they were committed to the cut scene.
