Red Dead Online's Most Impressive Character Creations So Far (2024)

There is no doubt that Red Dead Redemption 2 was a huge success for Rockstar Games, with the game making the studio a revenue of more than $700 million on launch day, a that trend only grew stronger and more consistent with multiplayer. Ever since the sequel to Red Dead Redemption came out, players have been doing all sorts of things in the game, like collecting all breeds of horses, turning Arthur into Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants, and more crazy stuff. ThencameRed Dead Redemption 2's online component,Red Dead Online, and it features a silent protagonist who can be customized quite a lot in terms of looks and fashion.

The character customization process was and still is a very deep and interesting feature, because it allows players to achieve incredible results with the way their outlaws are designed. Some players prefer to recreate iconic Red Dead Redemption 2's story characters like Micha Bell, while others either turn their playable character into that of some other franchise. Or players simply make their own, even creating backstories for them. This is a collection of some of the best characters made in Red Dead Online since its release in 2019.

Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi

A Redditor by the name of HeySoloSoyYo on the game's subreddit showcased a collection of their Super Mario Bros. characters:Including the titular Mario and his fellow companions, like Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. The outfits are amazing, and while simpler than others, they bring these characters to life in a very realistic way. This picture, however, was also sad for some Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans because Waluigi never made it into the game, despite all the love and plenty of requests from the community.

Spider-Man

User Blue_Moon_Cheese managed to create an 1898 version of the iconic superhero by creatively employing cosmetics from Red Dead Online and Red Dead Redemption 2, and they also made sure to include a dramatic pose. Of course, the costume lacks the usual webbing of Spider-Man's outfits, but this character better fits the theme of the game and the time period it's set in. This combination is very appropriate if players want to roleplay as an early days Spider-Man, but shouldn't expect their lassos to turn into webs.

Michael Jackson

The all-famous "King of Pop" came back in Red Dead Online, as Reddit userHonorHHawk paid incredible attention to every detail, even including in their brief video the Thriller outfit while dancing in a cemetery in-game. The user was so passionate about the project that they also left a comment in their Reddit post to provide all the details for other players to recreate Michael Jackson in Red Dead Online. This look is perfect for groovy western lovers.

The Scooby-Doo Gang

Redditor Zoobz_ and their friends recreated the whole Scooby-Doo gang in Red Dead Online, albeit in more old-fashioned clothes that properly represent the game's time and age. They even included a dog, who is not exactly Scooby-Doo's lookalike but still provides extra points for the effort. The gang seems to either be close to departing on an adventure to unmask some evil-doer, or maybe the picture is meant to portray the characters in a victory pose after the deed is done, but either way the outcome is fantastic.

Human Version of Shrek and Horse Version of Donkey

GreeneCowpoke, yet another Reddit user of the r/reddeadfashion subreddit, submitted their amazing work with a human version of the legendary orc Shrek. The resemblance is uncanny if comparing GreeneCowpoke's character to Shrek 2's human Shrek after he drinks the Happily Ever After Potion. Of course, Donkey as a horse is not super convincing, and yet very fun. This is the perfect combination of outfit and character physical traits for swamp lovers out there.

Walter White/Heisenberg

Breaking Bad was considered by many as one of the best television fictional shows out there, and seeing Walter White as Heisenberg in Red Dead Online is a joy. Everything in Hand-of-King-Midas' character is extremely well done, starting with the old-fashioned look that Heisenberg sported throughout the series, and including the glasses and facial traits. Even the wrinkles on the character's face are extremely realistic and do look a lot like Heisenberg's, which bodes well for all those wannabe drug dealer role-players out there.

Old Arthur Morgan

A Reddit user by the name ofsamboi-art put a lot of effort into creating an older version of Red Dead Redemption 2's protagonist and playable character, Arthur Morgan. Unfortunately, as the game's plot unfolds and escalates into a confrontation with Micah Bell and Dutch, Arthur eventually dies, either because of his disease and the wounds inflicted on him, or he dies by execution. The character made by samboi-art is meant to be Arthur Morgan if he managed to live a peaceful life and grow old, and this look may make some fans of Red Dead Redemption2 nostalgic.

Lady Justice

While the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online may seem not to be very just, Chewbecca420 posted on Reddit their beautifully crafted custom outfit for Lady Justice. Some players may find it hard to recreate this incredible look because it uses pieces like the bloody blindfold and the machete, which were available during Halloween's pass at levels 18 and 20, respectively. Regardless, this iteration of an 1898in-game version of the blind Lady Justice deserves plenty of appreciation, and she definitely makes for a great outlaw in the world of Red Dead Online.

Captain Jack Sparrow

Speaking of inspired outfits, Redditor TwinkieSnake's version of Captain Jack Sparrow in Red Dead Online is outstanding, and the user definitely deserves the praise. Scrolling through the comments, players interested in making their own legendary pirate captain in Red Dead Online can find TwinkieSnake's item list, even though the Pittman hat is from the Outlaw pass on level 88. While TwinkieSnake's doesn't exactly look like Jack Sparrow as per the user's own admission, players may want to recreate the outfit on a character model that looks more like the captain.

Red Dead Onlineis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
