The gruesome detail was noticed by Redditor deutschesgesetzbuch_, who discovered that when an enemy is shot in the head inRed Dead Redemption 2, players can see their jaw flying away. This is only possible with themost powerful weapons inRed Dead Redemption 2, such as the sawed-off shotgun at close range. Players wanting to catch this in action should use Photo Mode, as the combat in the game is too fast-paced to catch many of the intricate details. The dismemberment system inRed Dead Redemption 2is extremely powerful. With a well-placed shot and the right weapon, players can even decapitate NPCs.
Users in the thread appreciated the incredible detail, with many wanting to see the gore feature inRockstar’s upcomingGTA 6. RecentGTAtitles haven’t really seen this level of gore featured, so it would be a surprising move if it were to be included. In the thread, many pointed out the irony thatGTAis often considered the most violent and controversial game series ever in the mainstream media, despite the violence being tame by the standard of many other video games, including Rockstar’s own efforts.

The studio’s main focus remainsGTA 6, which could still be years away from release. Because of this, fans hoping to hear of a potentialRed Dead Redemption 3could be waiting a very long time, as game development times get much longer in general. While nothing is confirmed and this is all speculation, there’s a very real scenario where gamers don’t get their hands onRed Dead Redemption 3until the 2030s, although most gamers will be hoping it doesn’t come to that.
