Red Dead Redemption 2 players are on the hunt to solve a new mystery, discovered 7 years after release

Characters in Red Dead Redemption 2.

For the first time in seven years, a new mystery has been discovered in Red Dead Redemption 2. Full of all sorts of threads to be followed, RDR2 players worked diligently over these past seven years to uncover everything it hid in its vast world, but one seems to have been missed.

As per Synth Potato on X, this newly-discovered mystery, which the players are working around the clock to solve, had to do with a certain telegraph pole. Located near Dewberry Creek, the pole had a spider symbol etched on it, which, when transposed over the full RDR2 map, illustrates branching paths that lead to eight other poles around the game. Every pole had that same spider symbol and a feather attached to them that can be taken off with a well-placed shot.

As Synth Potato explains, there also appeared to be a web-covered tree in the middle of the transposed symbol, indicating that players should go North and find more poles. Further inquisitions showed more directions like NW and S, leading players down a true rabbit hole, or rather, a webway.

The final pole shows a guitar and an NW direction that takes players to Fort Wallace, though, per Synth Potato, no one has yet figured out what the encampment has to do with the mystery, if anything. Guitars are in the location, but their connection to the easter egg doesn't seem evident at the moment.

This is, as we said above, a mystery that has avoided the player base for over seven years. Easter eggs and mysteries like this one are a staple of Rockstar's game design, and there are countless of them spread out throughout each of the studio's games, especially those released after GTA 4. GTA 5 itself might be the most robust in this respect, though Red Dead Redemption 2 by all means has a ton of them as well.

The ultimate outcome of the mystery is pending further investigation, and I eagerly await the players' discovery.
