Get rich or die trying with this free Red Dead Redemption 2 download

Simply put, Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the greatest video games of all time even if Rockstar Games doesn't seem to treat it as generously as its Grand Theft Auto sibling.

Released in 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, before making its way to PC the following year, Red Dead Redemption 2 is bigger and arguably better than its predecessor in almost every way, and that’s saying something considering how much of a classic the original Red Dead Redemption is.

Check out the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer below!

“Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are outlaws on the run. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive,” reads the synopsis of Red Dead Redemption 2. “As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.”

When it comes to either Red Dead Redemption 2 or Red Dead Online, players have looked on in envy as GTA V has been treated to a plethora of generous content updates, the most recent being ‘The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid’. Granted, as with any content update for GTA V, it’s about GTA Online and not the single-player campaign.

However, it’s fair to say that GTA Online has certainly been treated more favourably by Rockstar Games to the disappointment of Red Dead Online fans. It’s a shame that neither GTA V nor Red Dead Redemption 2 has benefited from a new single-player expansion such as the desired Undead Nightmare 2.

Thankfully, at least for the PC community, modders are on the case to bring new content to the single-player campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2, namely ‘The Bank Wagon Heist’ created by CruelMasterMC and it is available to download now for free via Nexusmods.

‘The Bank Wagon Heist’ mod does pretty much what it says on the tin. The mod comes with four missions at the time of writing. Judging by its Nexusmods page, the mod creator will be working on new content. The first mission is to rob a wagon from a couple of NPCs, whether you intimidate or kill them. Mission two will require you to get back a wagon belonging to two NPCs which had been stolen by a group of bandits

Mission three will have you take a shipment of dynamite that someone will “generously” borrow from you, apparently. Finally, the fourth mission takes all that you’ve learned from the previous missions for one epic bank heist. I’m sure everything will go according to plan, right?

Sadly, as with the nature of most mods, ‘The Bank Wagon Heist’ is only available on PC. Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It’s also backwards compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
