Red Dead Redemption 2 - horse brush glitch
18I was trying out various things with buffers next to my horse and managed to create this (rare?) glitch effect. It's still a mystery to me how exactly it happened, since I couldn't recreate it later.
Basically, I was aiming with lantern, then buffered brushing my horse, then selected camera. Then I must have pressed something else too and eventually used L-stick to cancel the brushing. As a result, the brush got stuck on Arthur's hand.
The effect was surprisingly persistent and it stayed on for the rest of my playing session, even in cutscenes. Even brushing the horse a second time didn't cause the brush to disappear.
Here are some highlights of what happened during that time.
Note: this was played on the unpatched version.
