If you want to play a triple-A game on PC in current year, you have games riddled with hackers across games like Fallout 76, Battlefield V, and now Red Dead Online. The latest hacks have players fed up with Rockstar in that reporting them does absolutely nothing.
From an invincible Native American woman with an explosive bow and arrow to a man that spontaneously combusts in the woods to even a cowboy being trapped in a place with a boatload of animals seems to be picking up in Red Dead Online as of 2020.
Nevertheless, you can spawn into the game to see your very own money deplete on the spot. Granted that hackers can’t take all of your money at once, but it’s still a major problem.
Bringing attention to the hacker problem at hand is YouTuber SWEGTA with the following video:
In case you did not watch the video, the YouTuber brings up that Rockstar insider, Tez2, says that the amount of cheaters in Red Dead Online for PC is now on par with hackers on the PC version of GTA Online:
The situation on #RedDeadOnline PC has escalated to GTA Online PC level of cheating.
Cheaters can blow you up, take away your weapons and drain your money ..etc
This video from “Zerdical” (GTAForums member) show a cheater trying to drain away his money.https://t.co/rYW1SEKO6m— Tez2 (@TezFunz2) January 8, 2020
The reason for cheaters blowing up in Red Dead Online is due to the cowboy game sharing similar scripts/code as GTA Online:
Cheaters could send fake messages to your game saying do this or that, this is what we are seeing in the video.
A cheater is sending over 100 messages to his game telling it to pay for the camp fee.
Eventually, the game will drain away all his money until nothing is left.

With all of that said, do you remember the man that would randomly catch fire in the woods? Well, he also happens to be thrown around too. The following video from YouTuber JmannDX has 15 minutes of himself being tortured by a random hacker:
The below video may not have a thumbnail, but it sure does have a non-discreet hacker in it courtesy of YouTuber Nurple:
The next video is about YouTuber JRUV trying to track down a hacker. After asking other people around town about the hacker’s whereabouts, the YouTuber faces off with multiple hackers only to find out that reporting does nothing:

And the last case (out of the many) sees YouTuber Zerdical having to deal with a constant money drain due to a hacker stealing one dollar a second from him from afar:
I wonder if hackers start sharing gold bars and doing things to interfere with Rockstar and Take-Two’s money will things change? Well, as it stands now, the accurate Rockstar insider Tez2 says that Red Dead Online’s cheating epidemic is now on par with GTA Online.
