Our second “Best Mods” article is here and covers all the cool mods you can download for Red Dead Redemption 2. Over the past few years, we’ve shared a lot of amazing mods for RDR2. And, although we link to most of them in every new article, we felt the need to create one that has all of them. So, here are the best Red Dead Redemption 2 mods you can download right now.
We’ll be constantly updating this list with every new mod we share. In other words, this list will be up to date, and it will have everything we’ve shared. Not only that but this article will be separated by categories. Thus, it will be easier to navigate it.
For those unaware, I’ve also created a new tag category, called “Best Mods”. You can access it from our left menu (it’s called “Best Mods Articles”). This new tag will have all of our “Best Mods” articles (so it will be easier for you to find them).
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the best Red Dead Redemption 2 mods that you can download.

This is a good and helpful article. Thanks john
I’d just add to that the dynamic seasons mod works really well, the rampage trainer is like 50+ mods in one interface, a time scaling mod to make nights longer as they use a vastly speeded up timescale at night, open all interiors is good to have for exploration, AMJM that also has random encounters including gang attacks and such, gangs also hang at certain areas like abandoned houses etc
Automatic Greets is really nice so you don’t have to bother, Unlimited Horse Whistle distance, disable invisible snipers for going to NA as Arthur, Vestigia, Project NA 1907, contracts, and likely more I have a lot of them. You’ll also need a script hook for many of them. I don’t bother w textures as I’m only at 1080p and it still looks stunning mostly and they tend to be very large downloads, woudln’t bother outside of 4k.
Thanks for this! I was actually going to mod the game for visuals mostly…this will be useful.
😀
good post John
Solid list
