Red Dead Redemption 2 Fans Show Off John and Arthur Cosplay

A pair of Red Dead Redemption 2 fans have shared their cosplay rendition of John Marston and Arthur Morgan. The effort has drawn the attention of a lot of fans of Red Dead Redemption 2, with many sharing compliments and asking questions about the cosplays.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was a huge hit with gamers, not only for the gameplay, story, and overall world that Rockstar Games built up, but also because of the protagonists. Arthur Morgan quickly became a huge favorite after Red Dead Redemption 2 launched, and John Marston has remained popular after helming RDR as well as part of the sequel, which is chronologically set prior to the original Red Dead Redemption. With players able to customize how Arthur and John look and dress, it’s not surprising to see fans take that a step further and entirely put themselves in their shoes.

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player online makes an extremely surprising discovery while on the island of Guarma.

Over on Reddit, user Freakingadultat21 has shared some photos of himself and a friend portraying Arthur and John together. The effort is quite impressive, with both cosplayers having fully committed to the entire look.

Getting a compliment from the person who originally portrayed a character is an accomplishment that would likely thrill any cosplayer.

Reddit Users Ask About Red Dead Redemption 2 Cosplay

Numerous fans have shared how much they like the look of the two cosplay outfits, with some also asking questions about how particular elements were achieved. One question was about the facial scar that John’s cosplayer has. Apparently, the look of it draws too much attention for the two of the cosplayers to walk around in costume, with them switching back to plainclothes following these photos being taken. The scar was achieved simply by cutting the cosplayer’s facial hair where needed and then using makeup to achieve the rest of the damage. Meanwhile, rather than spending hundreds of dollars on one, the cosplayer made the iconic Red Dead Redemption hat out of foam.

While not everyone enjoys cosplaying themselves, the effort required to recreate a character’s look is something that most fans can appreciate. Players have already begun speculating about what Red Dead Redemption 3 might entail, or what characters it will feature. While nothing is known yet, many would love to see John Marston and Arthur Morgan return in some capacity. The dedication of fans to the characters is evident with cosplay like this, as well.
