A new mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 has sparked a frenzy within the gaming community, causing chaos in the Old West with horses moving at warp speed. Created by YouTube user Blurbs, the “Fast Traffic” mod ramps up the speed of horses and carriages to comical extremes, turning everyday rides into disaster zones.
The mod transforms the game into a chaotic experience. Blurbs struggles to keep his character alive for more than a few seconds, with fast-moving carriages and horses creating mayhem at every turn. The sheer speed of the vehicles often results in instant death for any character caught in their path. Sometimes, instead of running over characters, the carriages shoot through the air, landing on top of others, creating even more confusion.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Unpredictable and Absurd Moments
While Blurbs laughs at the chaos unfolding on screen, it’s clear that the mod shifts Red Dead Redemption 2 from a story-driven Western to a more absurd, unpredictable experience. The exaggerated speed of the carriages and horses makes for some hilarious moments, like seeing passengers thrown out of carriages or trains launched into the sky. Even rowboats are not safe, as they, too, defy physics and fly off into space.
