Red Dead Online always ensures moments that are ready for film. The battle that Spicy Scope 7 released on Reddit is particularly dramatic: after finding the sniper who previously tried to kill him from a distance, an exciting wrestling match broke out between the two. The encounter reminds of Brienne and the hound from Game of Thrones – or at a certain iconic moment from 300. Here you can see the video:

Was the fight over?
The fact that the sniper freed herself from the stranglehold is astonishing in the comments, because that's pretty difficult in Red Dead Online. How exactly the game determines who wins the upper hand always causes discussions. Some believe that the one who presses the button faster wins, others suspect that endurance is important.
In the encounter shown above, Spicy Scope 7 may have deliberately got the shooter up so as not to risk losing much of his stamina. That's exactly what would have happened if she had gained the upper hand.
Of course, the reason could also have been simple that he did not want to give up the satisfaction of pushing her down the cliff: snipers are hated by many players. The meeting between the two was probably not agreed.
This campaign is also ready for the cinema: Because there is no official duel mode in Red Dead Online so far, players have organized it themselves. Just in time for the High Noon, two player duelists compete against each other for the classic Western showdown.
