Wagon drawn by four horses

The wagon is a heavy and sturdy two to four-wheeled vehicle. In the times of Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption, it was pulled by either horses, mules, or oxen. Most are either pulled by two, or up to four animals at a time depending on the weight of the load.

It should also be known that the wagon are very different from carts. A cart is a method of transportation that has only two wheels, and is pulled by one animal. Also its carrying capacity is far less than that of the wagon. In rainy weather, wagons will be found with tarps placed over them, to keep the supplies or people in the back dry. In multiplayer, wagons are less common, but are frequently used to carry posses around in a way different to the usual gangs on horseback.

Just like a stagecoach, a wagon can protect the player from predatory animals. Animals will neither attack the horses or player. Most animals, even bears, will in fact flee.

Notes

  • Wagons *may* be used to complete some or all of the three Stat Challenges involving stagecoaches (Shotgun Traveler, Stagecoach Trampler, Stagecoach Traveler). This has been confirmed for Stagecoach Traveler with a Mexican two-horse open wagon. Confirmation tests for the other challenges are still needed.
  • Aiming a weapon whilst driving a wagon will trigger a type of 'autopilot'. I.e., the horses will automatically follow the road and/or any waypoint you have set down so long as you are aiming your weapon. If playing online, the horses will continue to do this even when the game is 'paused'/in the menu. This is handy when you are travelling long distances and want to go and make a sandwich or go to the toilet.

Bugs

If a wagon is carrying people in the back, shooting them in the head will make them slowly get up, climb out the wagon, and suddenly die, all the time having a partly exploded head.

Wagons also have trouble with maneuvering through confined spaces, and when a tree or other similar obstruction comes between the two front horses, the wagon/horses will start to glitch and shake violently up and down.

In multiplayer, it is possible to get in the back of open top wagons. Simply get a horse, jump the horse into the back, and then get off the horse, or jump off a low ledge and onto the wagon. It may take a few tries, but it works. Again, it only works with open top wagons.
