Much has been said about the attention to detail in Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2, from the environment to different mission outcomes. But just when all its secrets had seemingly been discovered, fans uncovered something brand new last month that’s seemingly been in the game since its 2018 launch.
As outlined by YouTuber Strange Man (with assistance from the community), there’s a telegraph pole in the Heartland Oil Fields where, between 3 AM and 4 AM, a spider symbol and web with a feather is visible. Fans would subsequently discover similar poles throughout the world with the same symbols and spiderwebs. All of these connect to an even larger “web”, but what makes it so intriguing is that the letter “N” is visible.
Upon heading North, players found another pole that, when shot, revealed the letter “W,” doubtless pointing West. It led to – you guessed it – another telegraph pole revealing the letter “NW” and a guitar symbol when shot. Leading to Fort Wallace, where a guitar is pointing West, eventually leading to a card of Emmet Granger, last seen in the mission, “The Noblest of Men, and a Woman.”
While this would all eventually lead to Dodd’s Bluff, it seems the trail has gone cold with the community scrounging for more clues. But remember that feather at the first pole? Each of the other seven also has a feather, with the total falling under two colors: Red and white. Perhaps this is a larger clue to something else (including a mission that takes place in Fort Wallace).
Whatever it ends up being, the mystery is a testament to the massive scale of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the secrets that still lie buried. Now, how about that current-gen remaster, Rockstar?
