In the vast and intricate world of Red Dead Redemption 2, players might stumble upon some unexpected oddities, such as the peculiar sight of deer perched atop roofs. This isn’t the intended work of the developers at Rockstar Games, but rather a side effect of the game’s sprawling open world.
Like many other expansive games, Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t immune to strange glitches. As players delve into its vast environments, they might encounter odd occurrences. This isn’t unique to Red Dead; games like Grand Theft Auto 5, Fallout 4, and even Cyberpunk 2077 have experienced similar quirks. These massive virtual worlds use complex systems to create seamless experiences, and sometimes that results in animals appearing in bizarre places.
Recently, a player took to Reddit to share their bewilderment upon finding a deer atop a house. This wasn’t an isolated incident, as many players chimed in with tales of deer standing on various structures throughout the game. For those eager to witness this firsthand, the house in question is said to be located south of the Tall Trees trapper—a spot that seems to occasionally host these wayward deer.
Curious about how a deer ends up on a roof? It’s not a matter of the deer climbing up, or even leaping from a higher cliff. More likely, the game’s mechanics spawned the deer midair, and it landed on a rooftop. Videos circulating online capture these deer pacing back and forth, seemingly trapped and confused. While amusing, it’s a testament to the unpredictable nature of AI in gaming.
Interestingly, this phenomenon isn’t exclusive to Red Dead Redemption 2. In The Witcher 3, the loyal yet unpredictable horse Roach has become infamous for appearing on rooftops due to its spawning mechanics. Likewise, Fallout 4 players have reported sightings of Brahmin standing where they usually shouldn’t. Though some might argue these events disrupt the realism of the game, many players simply find humor in these unexpected glitches.
Red Dead Redemption 2, released on October 26, 2018, has captured the attention of gamers worldwide with its intricate world and engaging narrative. While some glitches might lead to unexpected scenarios, they add an element of surprise that many players enjoy, even if it involves a deer taking in the view from a rooftop.
