Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay: 12 Hands-On Details You Need To Know

8. Your Hat Can Get Shot Off

A supremely cool idea, when it comes to personifying cowboy life, nothing says "I am living the life" like taking great pride in the finest hats of the land.

RDR 2 will not only borrow L.A. Noire's hilarious "hat can get shot off in combat" mechanic, but you can make a point of returning to any combat area to retrieve it later down the line.

IGN's presenters also mention that animals can be traded or sold to get a new hat - a potential turn of phrase that could mean there are all sorts of hats on offer, based on which animal pelts/skins you've acquired.

After all, Red Dead Online is going to need a STAGGERING amount of customisation options for the world's worth of cowboys, so this is almost a given.
