As spotted by VG24/7, player stories started popping up a couple days ago claiming they’d been attacked by invincible, two-headed skeletons. Fortunately, there’s plenty of video to go along with the tales and it’s all pretty good for a laugh. Here’s a sudden skelly attack in the middle of Rhodes on a nice afternoon. Another player was just trying to finish an honest day’s work bringing in a bounty when they were jumped by a duo of two-headed skeletons. Yet another player managed to take down a hat trick of dead mutants. They claim that the skeletons are invincible—probably meaning impervious to bullets. Fortunately, it appears that they can be subdued with a lasso. Make sure you bounty hunters out there use a reinforced lasso to solve the problem for longer. Where the heck does the two headed skeleton come from though? Apparently they’re actually part of the game. Near Manzanita Post is a circus wagon wreck where the skeleton of a two-headed woman can be seen trapped inside an overturned wagon. I’ve had my own run-ins with hackers in Red Dead Online, usually where I and a crowd of other folks are suddenly teleported into a basement and tossed around blender style in a horrific display of shouting cowboys and wailing horses. The first encounter is wild enough that you can’t help snagging a video to show. It’s less amusing the second, third, and twentieth time you’re set upon by relentless skeletons while just trying to have a peaceful afternoon fishing outside Strawberry. For everyone’s sake, lets hope this trend stays in the grave now that we’ve laughed it off.
