Rockstar Games' latest live-service, action-adventure game, Red Dead Online, hit the scene back in 2018. Since then, it has received numerous updates, such as the popular Blood Money update, and features bank heists, bar brawls, plus shootouts. But, if one chooses to go down the path of chaos, one must look the part, so this player impressively did just that.
There are plenty of clothing options in Red Dead Online to choose from at the very moment the multiplayer mode is booted up. So many in fact, that some creative players have sought to recreate both famous celebrities and fictional characters but as thieving, dollar-chasing outlaws. Although with that said, this forthcoming mobster does not have much trouble fitting into the game's Wild West setting.
Reddit user HeySoloSoYo has brilliantly utilized the options in Red Dead Online's extensive creation engine to bring notorious mobster Al Capone to the great plains. From the fancy cuffed sleeves, little brass buttons, and the prominent slit that runs from ear to jaw, this version of Scarface has it all.
Inspecting closer reveals that this Red Dead Online recreation features a flashy yet expensive multi-layered outfit that includes a valentine stripped style vest, several gem-incrusted rings, a plush round-top Nevada hat, and a gold Muhlberg Mauser Pistol for good measure. For extra immersion, HeySoloSoYo even included various shots of the Red Dead interpretation puffing away on a big, stubby cigar, which astonishingly replicates the now-infamous Al Capone photograph. In short, while some liberties have been taken with the outfit, it still looks incredibly accurate to "Snorky."
For the uninitiated, the public enemy number one was born Alphonse Gabriel Capone in 1899, which coincidentally is the year Red Dead Redemption 2 is set. Over time, the mobster went from run-of-the-mill gangster to one of the most notorious crime kingpins ever by illegally supplying the booze-starved American public with a drink during the great prohibition of the 1920s. This legendary status in both history and the criminal underworld makes him a perfect fit for the money-focused activity-filled western, particularly with the recent lucrative Red Dead Online moonshine update.
This would not even be the first time HeySoloSoYo has managed to accomplish such a feat, as the user previously brought Homer Simpson to Red Dead Online. Complete with a beer belly, balding head and blue jeans, it simply goes to prove that any desired character can be brought to the open-world game if players invest the time and attention to detail needed to get the likeness just right.
Red Dead Online is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
