Random encounters are randomized events and interactions that the player can encounter while free-roaming the game maps of Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Overview[]
Randomized encounters with different NPCs and animals is a feature introduced to the Red Dead franchise with 2010's Red Dead Redemption, which moved away from the linear gameplay of its predecessor to a more open-ended approach.
These events will often pit the player character against criminals or predators which may end in a hostile situation, but will also interact with friendlier NPCs that may offer a challenge or an item.
While Redemption and its expansion pack Undead Nightmare feature limitless random encounters of different kinds, Red Dead Redemption 2 also includes story-related random encounters that tie into the game's larger narrative, such as rescuing a fellow gang member or specific attacks by rival gangs.
