Red Dead Redemption 2 is known for its realism, but one fan has decided to throw all of that out the window—by turning horses into high-speed projectiles. Thanks to a speed mod, every ride through the frontier becomes a chaotic, high-velocity spectacle, sending both riders and bystanders flying.

The Wildest Ride in the West

The mod in question significantly increases horse speed, turning simple gallops into supersonic sprints. Players have shared clips of their trusty steeds moving so fast that they become uncontrollable, crashing through fences, launching off cliffs, and even colliding with NPCs in explosive fashion.

One particularly hilarious moment shows a player barely tapping the sprint button, only for their horse to shoot forward like a rocket, sending Arthur Morgan flying through the air. Another clip captures a high-speed collision with a train, proving that even in a modded world, some things remain unstoppable.

When Realism Takes a Backseat

Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 is known for its attention to detail, with carefully animated horse physics and realistic movement. But sometimes, players just want to break the rules. This mod flips the game’s carefully tuned mechanics on their head, replacing slow, deliberate rides with pure, unfiltered chaos.

It’s not just about speed, either. At these velocities, horses barely react to terrain changes, often hitting small bumps and launching into the air like guided missiles. The results are unpredictable, hilarious, and—more often than not—completely disastrous.

A New Way to Experience the Frontier

For those who’ve already explored every inch of Red Dead Redemption 2‘s massive world, this mod offers a fresh, absurd way to enjoy the game. Whether it’s racing through towns at impossible speeds or seeing just how far a horse can fly after hitting a rock, the mod transforms the Wild West into a playground of chaos.

While Rockstar likely never intended for Red Dead Redemption 2 to feature equine rocket launches, mods like this prove that sometimes, breaking the game can be just as fun as playing it the “right” way.
