Summary
ARed Dead Redemption 2player has noticed an interesting detail about Dutch van der Linde, which is only noticeable to gamers who play around with mods in the game. Dutch van der Linde is one of the most interesting characters inRed Dead Redemption 2, and this small detail only adds to this.
One of the biggest strengths ofRed Dead Redemption 2is its incredible characters. They make an already captivating narrative even better, with gamers becoming invested in its villains just as much as its heroes. Dutch van der Linde is one such villain, returning after his appearance in the originalRed Dead Redemption. He’s the manipulative gang leader who loses his way, sitting comfortably as one of thebest characters inRed Dead Redemption 2. However, there are some details that players need to dig into the game’s files to discover.
Redditor makarovredstone pointed out that while using the Rampage Trainermod forRed Dead Redemption 2, a look at Dutch van der Linde’s stats revealed that he has 99 Weapon Accuracy, which is higher than all the other members of the gang. While this means he’ll be more accurate throughout the game’s missions, it also has interesting story implications, too, with Dutch being the most senior member of the gang. It’s a small detail that Rockstar didn’t need to include, given so few players would ever be aware of its existence.
Other gamers in the thread asked about the Weapon Accuracy of several othermain characters inRed Dead Redemption 2, but the original poster has yet to deliver a response. One player pointed out that Dutch’s accuracy in cutscenes is not quite the same as in-game, although it seems this is purely for story reasons. Despite van der Linde’s accuracy in a gunfight - he’s not the only one to be given the rare 99 Weapon Accuracy by Rockstar. Black Belle, who appears in the stranger mission “The Noblest of Men, and a Woman,” also has this setting in-game, although she isn’t part of the van der Linde gang.
It remains to be seen if Dutch van der Linde will return in any potentialRed Dead Redemption 3. Everyone has their own opinion on where a new title could head - some even think thatRed Dead Redemption 3is the time to put the van der Linde Gang to bed, but it’s hard to imagine the franchise without him and his group at this point. WithGrand Theft Auto 6the current priority at Rockstar right now, it will likely be some time before this is something gamers truly have to consider.
