Red Dead Redemption 2 fan finds elusive but wholesome detail about Rufus

When Rockstar makes a title, they ensure something new in every re-run of the game. In a world as intricately designed as Red Dead Redemption 2’s, fans are still finding new features after almost five years since its launch.

Upon being studied, the in-game dog in Red Dead Redemption 2, Rufus, reveals a text box that says, “Rufus is a good boy.” This was discovered by u/RiskyUnknown after about 830 hours spent in-game in Red Dead Redemption 2.

This is a particularly notable detail because this is not the usual message when Arthur examines or studies a dog in RDR2. Usually, it displays the breed information when studied.

The wholesome discovery has amassed quite a lot of upvotes on Reddit. This shows that most game fans agree that Rufus is a good boy.

Many fans commented under the Reddit post that they agree that Rufus is a good boy. The fact that it took 830 hours for the OP to realize this goes to show how many little things Rockstar has hidden in-game for players to discover. 

Rufus lived like a king in the game and after it. Many more secrets can be uncovered if the players dive deep into the title.

This includes Bigfoot’s Cave, the ManBearPig near the Van Horn Trading Post, a peculiar UFO, the meteor House, the Hobbit House for fans of the Hobbit, the Ghost Train, and a Robot.

One more grim discovery by RDR 2 fans includes an outdoor hut standing amongst snowcapped mountains that reveals through binoculars a frozen dead body. Some believe that it is Gavin, who is inquired of multiple times in-game by his friend Nigel. 

It could also be Catherine Braithwaite’s secret son, who locks up her daughter, who has a mental illness and tells nobody about her existence.

While this seems disturbing, Rufus being a good boy is now canon, and fans are awed by this relatively wholesome inclusion in a game that is otherwise filled with deaths, murder, and violence.
