The great tip was posted by Redditor Prodigy772k, accompanied by footage of the player about to be mauled by a Legendary Golden Spirit Bear. They discovered that when the bear gets close, they’re able to simply avoid it by dodging out of the way. It’s definitely somewhat of a cheese, but it can be necessary to fight dirty when facing the game’s hardest enemies. WhileRed Dead Online’s combat might not be the deepest mechanically, it’s interesting that gamers are still finding new ways to manipulate it to their advantage almost five years after release.
Players in the thread took to sharing their own tips for dealing withRed Dead Online’s Legendary animals. One player suggested that they can just stare the animal down, a method which in the game can be more effective than it sounds. Others compared the method toDark Souls' combat, where rolling around is an essential component of the combat system. The similarities are definitely there to be seen, even ifRed Dead Online’s combat might not have the depth of FromSoftware’s title.
The controversy aboutRed Dead Online’s abandonment from Rockstar, whileGTA Onlinecontinues to receive updates, remains a hot talking point for the community. Some feel thatRed Dead Redemption 3should avoid the controversy aroundRed Dead Online’s updates, by maintaining a consistent schedule. Right now it’s a tough conversation to have, because the game seems to be so far away right now.GTA 6still seems to be years off, and the online portion of that game will likely be heavily supported by Rockstar too. Even if the nextRed Dead Redemptionis many years away, hopefully Rockstar treats the online section with more love than it has withRed Dead Online.
