As game developer Rockstar Games delves into the development of its highly anticipated project, Grand Theft Auto 6, fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 continue to stoke the flames of the Wild West, creating innovative content to extend the life of the game.
A fresh addition that exemplifies this dedication is a new mod, introducing over 30 intriguing bandit hideouts into the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. This expansion breathes new life into the game, offering players a host of new challenges and locations to explore, promising hours of additional gameplay.
The brains behind this inventive mod, titled Bandit Hideouts, are the dynamic modding duo of crossed99 and Gunter Severlon. Their creativity has added a new layer to the game’s open-world, enriching the in-game environment and bringing a new depth to player exploration.

Players keen to uncover these new bandit hideouts will have the choice of embarking on an exploratory quest or utilising a handy map included with the mod. Spread across a variety of locales — from the openness of verdant fields to the mysterious depths of shadowy caves and the rustic charm of woodlands.
In a nod to the game’s rich lore, the type of bandits players will face is tied to the location of the hideout. Every hideout is associated with existing factions within the game, such as the notorious O’Driscolls or the deadly Del Lobo gang. This ensures a sense of continuity and familiarity even as players venture into new territories.
Adding a layer of customisation, the “Bandit Hideouts” mod allows players to alter the count of gang members in each hideout. This feature enables gamers to fine-tune the difficulty level, providing a personalised challenge that can be adjusted to match individual skill and taste.

However, players should be prepared for a tough battle. The bandits in these hideouts are not only well-equipped but also resilient. They can call for reinforcements when threatened, and they won’t let players escape without a chase. If you think you can simply turn tail and run, you’re in for a surprise, as they’ll give chase on horseback.
As the player community keeps the spirit of Red Dead Redemption 2 alive, there’s also anticipation building around potential future additions to the franchise. Rumors and hopes are swirling around the possibility of a third game or a remake of the original Red Dead Redemption. Fueling these speculations, the voice actor for the fan-favorite character John Marston has even expressed an interest in reprising his role. As the game’s community patiently awaits Rockstar’s next move, they remain committed to the adventurous spirit of the Wild West.
