Red Dead Online allows players to take on the Wild West alongside others. Developed alongside the single player story, Red Dead Online gives players an open world with NPCs and different quests to explore. Though the single player game allows players to have some flexibility with the look of their character, Red Dead Online gives much more freedom. In the latest display of player creativity, u/HeySoloSoyYo brought members of the Salamanca family from Breaking Bad to the game.
Red Dead Online was developed and produced by Rockstar Games and was released in 2019. Breaking Bad was a crime drama television series that aired for five seasons between 2008 and 2013. Both the Red Dead Redemption game series as well as Breaking Bad are known for their action, depictions of the criminal world, and violence.

The series of photos show off created characters in Red Dead Online that perfectly match Hector, Leonel, and Marco Salamanca from the show. Leonel and Marco, known as the Cousins, are hitmen for the Juarez Cartel while Hector Salamanca is the patriarch of the family and one of the most feared characters on the show. U/HeySoloSoyYo brings these intense characters to the Wild West flawlessly. Judging from their actions on the show they would likely all fit in perfectly in the world of Red Dead Redemption. The terrified reactions of most comments to this post indicate that any player spotting any of these looks would likely be avoided.
What this tribute shows is the impressive capabilities of the character creator in Red Dead Online. Players have brought some interesting characters to life already in Red Dead Online through its flexibility. For these creations, the characters chosen are pretty recognizable and their Red Dead Redemption versions look almost like screenshots from the show. The intimidating character choice makes these recreations look even more realistic.
Red Dead Online and Breaking Bad are relatively similar despite being set in completely different eras. With open lobbies and a wild world, the game can be quite hostile for unsuspecting players. Meanwhile, in the world of Breaking Bad, over 200 characters and extras die over its 5 seasons. This makes u/HeySoloSoyYo's idea of a crossover almost a perfect match and it is interesting that other players haven't already tried something similar.
Then again Breaking Bad is a bit darker than the storyline of Red Dead Redemption 2. The worlds are quite a long time period apart and the crimes committed are not a perfect match. Either way, however, u/HeySoloSoyYo's characters are an impressive recreation and tribute to an iconic show.
Red Dead Online is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One
