Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of many weird and wonderful characters to meet with one of the most memorable of them being eccentric scientist Marco Dragic, who you can find sitting in the park in Saint Denis.

His Stranger Mission, A Bright Bouncing Boy, begins innocently enough as he has you pilot a remote controlled boat in the pond destroying other small battleships as part of a demonstration. It’s a fun distraction leagues apart from Rockstar’s other remote controlled vehicle missions, but it’s the next part where things get weird

Taking up Dragic’s invitation to visit him at his laboratory, he’ll unveil his latest project, a fully-autonomous robot, and ask you for help in bringing his creation to life by placing rods to attract lightning.

The experiment, however, is a failure as the robot breaks after taking a few steps.

Returning to the laboratory to catch-up with Dragic a few days later will reveal the scientist has been murdered and his robotic boy, now nowhere to be seen.

This tragic Frankenstein story isn’t over, though. If you travel deep into the mountains, you can find the robot now sitting alone, mourning the loss of his "father".
