"What would Red Dead Redemption 2 be like if your fights with people and creatures played out like matches in Mortal Kombat? That's the thought experiment at the center of streamer Blurbs ' latest mod for the Rockstar open-world game. There's lots of punching, lots of blood, and some downright nuts fatalities. Blurbs has transformed mod-making into a communal activity by having fans contribute ideas and constructing and testing them in real time as viewers watch on Twitch."
"Blurbs even went ahead and added rudimentary animations, sound effects, and cheat codes that need to be entered for fatalities. In one, Arthur Morgan lets out a tuberculosis-filled cough that makes the opponent explode in a geyser of blood. In another, the loser is pushed out in front of a runaway train that obliterates them. But the mod doesn't just allow Arthur to fight people."
A mod reimagines melee in Red Dead Redemption 2 as Mortal Kombat-style matches by switching to a side-by-side fighting-game camera whenever a punch connects. The mod adds crude animations, sound effects, and cheat-code-triggered fatalities, including an opponent exploding from a tuberculosis cough and being pushed in front of a runaway train. Community members contribute ideas and help construct and test features live on Twitch, turning mod development into a collaborative stream-based process. The mod allows fights against humans and wildlife, with encounters against an alligator, a deer, and a grizzly bear demonstrating varying outcomes. The creator is accepting Grand Theft Auto V mod requests.
