Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) is a masterpiece known for its stunning landscapes and immersive storytelling.
However, streamer Blurbs recently turned this open-world gem upside down with a custom "fast traffic" mod, injecting pure chaos into the Wild West.
In his latest YouTube adventure, he takes viewers on a whirlwind journey through the bustling streets of Saint Denis, where horses, carriages, and even boats defy the laws of physics.
The chaos begins as Blurbs attempts to navigate the notoriously busy streets of Saint Denis. In this altered reality, the city resembles a demolition derby rather than a quaint frontier town.
Carriages zoom by at breakneck speeds, horses gallop like they’re in a race, and NPCs are caught in a relentless game of dodgeball, desperately trying to avoid becoming roadkill.
Blurbs dives into the madness with a grin, fully embracing the absurdity of the situation.
In one particularly memorable moment, he hops aboard a train, exclaiming, “Oh, ye were bullet train!” as it hurtles down the tracks at a speed that would make even the fastest locomotives envious.
However, his brief respite from the chaos is cut short when he’s unceremoniously knocked off the train by a low-hanging pillar.
It’s a classic RDR2 moment that would have seasoned players tearing their hair out, but Blurbs simply laughs it off, showcasing his infectious sense of humor.
As if the fast-paced antics weren’t enough, the mod introduces an element of the fantastical: flying boats.
Midway through his chaotic journey, Blurbs finds himself soaring through the skies in a boat, drifting aimlessly like a sky pirate who’s lost his map.
His reaction?
“What game am I even playing.”
The sight of a boat gliding through the air against the stunning backdrop of the Wild West, is a sight to behold and adds an extra layer of hilarity to the proceedings.
The mod hilariously alters cutscenes as well.
In one surreal moment, Blurbs finds himself in the midst of a cinematic scene, only to have carriages and wagons zooming past in the background like they’re in a high-speed chase.
The contrast between the serene storytelling and the wild chaos unfolding behind the characters is nothing short of comedic gold.
However, navigating this mayhem proves to be a challenge for Blurbs.
At one point, he attempts to reset to a checkpoint, only to be greeted with the message that he’s “died” repeatedly because he spawns directly in front of a speeding stagecoach.
Each attempt becomes a frantic race for survival, but the relentless traffic makes it nearly impossible.
His light-hearted attitude in the face of repeated failures adds to the charm of the video.
As the video draws to a close, Blurbs finally makes it into the heart of Saint Denis, surveying the absolute mayhem around him.
“I don’t think Saint Denis is the safest place to be these days,” he chuckles, a nod to the absurdity of the situation.
The once-bustling city now resembles a chaotic race track, where survival is a matter of quick reflexes and a good sense of humour.
Blurbs’ chaotic journey through Red Dead Redemption 2 with the fast traffic mod serves as a delightful reminder that sometimes, a little chaos can turn a beautifully crafted game into a laugh-out-loud adventure.
While RDR2 is often praised for its realism and attention to detail, Blurbs’ escapades highlight the joy of embracing the absurd.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the game or just looking for a good laugh, Saint Denis in this modded world is the perfect place to be—just make sure to keep an eye out for those flying carriages and runaway horses!
