Snow thank you.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a lot of things. One of the most detailed games of all time, a hallmark of open world excellence, and brilliant character study of a man doing the only thing he knows. It is not, however, a game that understands what brevity is, especially with its much, much too long intro set in snowy mountains that crawls along at a snail’s pace.

Never fear if you’re on PC, as an intrepid modder has already found a way for you to skip Red Dead Redemption 2’s girthy intro with a simple download and a look into the game’s files.

RDR 2 mods

Found over on Nexus Mods, simply download the mod created by AccidentalGenius and copy the first SRDR file from the download into your account folder in C:\Users\\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles.

And it’s as simple as that, roughly ten hours of your life saved, especially if you’ve already beaten the game on console. It’s a very unconventional, original opener, sure, but not something that you can play through twice with the same level of interest — it’s been the biggest deterrent from me now starting a new save.

Elsewhere in RDR 2, have you seen how crazy this game’s graphics settings are?
