Y’all nonetheless using horses on the market? It’s 1899, son, get with the occasions. A brand new, in-development Red Dead Redemption 2 mod has opened the stables to all method of untamed bears, boars cougars and extra. After all, there ain’t a sight within the West extra terrifying than a grim outlaw with a fistful of bullets, nothing to lose, and 500 kilos of livid pork below his saddle.
Pointed out by the parents over at RPS fanzine PC Gamer, Pig Rider isn’t being coy with its identify. The work of modder JulioNIB – who’d beforehand modded Grand Theft Auto V to allow you to lark about as The Hulk, Iron Man, or a bleedin’ Shark – Pig Rider allows you to romp about RDR2’s frontier on a variety of comically supersized brutes.
Despite the identify, Pig Rider has ambitions for extra mountable beasts past these horse-sized piglets. JulioNIB plans to allow you to roam the wilds on all method of beasties, with the mod page displaying off wagon-sized cougars, bears and wolves. That pig, although, that’s the actual star of the present. A horse could also be lean, elegant even. But your explicit Arthur Morgan could also be extra suited to the sheer brute drive of a four-legged pork battering ram.
It is decisively essentially the most (resident RPS beastmaster) Nate Crowley goddamn Red Dead Redemption 2 mod I’ve ever seen. Your man’s at the moment within the enterprise of reviewing all 234 animals in Rockstar’s cowboy epic, and I’m curious – the place does a truck-sized boar rank in comparison with its extra modest barnyard kin? If an American Alligator (Small) is value solely half as a lot as an American Alligator, does a ten-ton cougar price ten occasions as extremely?
While at the moment nonetheless in growth, budding boar-jockeys can have a pop at Pig Rider by pitching in $5 or extra over on JulioNIB’s Patreon. Yee-haw.
