Red Dead Redemption 2is one of the most expensive games ever developed, and throughout every portion of it, it shows. From the way its open world truly feels like a breathing, living, and changing environment down to the smallest details likeArthur Morgan’s eyes reflecting his surroundings, everything Rockstar Games invested inRed Dead 2shows.
Perhaps the best part is that Rockstar didn’t run out and brag about all of these little details, with many still discovering new things across every playthrough. That’s mightily impressive givenRed Dead Redemption 2is nearing its 4-year anniversary. Now, one player has shared their recent discovery, something many have no doubt looked over.

Redditor GameBro07 recently shared an image they found visiting the drug shop in Valentine. It’s a simple little bottle with the label “heroin.” Many were quick to jump toRed Dead Redemption 2’s historical accuracyin the comments, as it and many illicit drugs nowadays were used as part of various medications back in the day. So, not only is this a little detail that many fans will go entire playthroughs without noticing, but it just adds yet another layer of research and detail put intoRed Dead Redemption 2’s world.
Chances are, there are more labeled bottles like this at other drug shops, but Valentine is somewhat special. Players are able to get in through the back and rob the doctor’s office, should they so choose, and there are a few rewards for this too. While some Redditors talked about the historical accuracy, as well as this, others discussed someRed Dead Redemption 2characterswho were on drugs.
For example, it’s no secret that Reverend Swanson is a drug addict in the game, carrying morphine around in a hollowed-out bible. Both heroin and morphine would have been easy to get over the counter at this time, once again showing how all of these smallRed Dead Redemption 2details come together.
These details alone are proof of why Rockstar will hopefully, eventually begin development onRed Dead Redemption 3. Of course,Rockstar recently confirmedGrand Theft Auto 6’s development, and since that is probably years away, the same can be said ofRed Dead Redemption 3.However, should it maintain this same level of detail and accuracy, then there’s little doubt it could be as big as the second game in the franchise too.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
