Character creation is always a fun part of games, especially when it is in depth enough for players to really let their creativity flow.Red Dead Onlinehas a great character creator for this purpose, and the gear and aesthetic items players can get lend themselves well to making a lot of diverse looks. One popular use of the character creator and accompanying equipment in the game is create cosplay characters, characters that look like a character from another game. Redditor Lilzomboid did just that, making their character look almost identical toBill Overbeck from the iconicLeft 4 Deadfranchise.
Red Dead Onlineplayers have been making cosplay builds like this for a while now with varying degrees of success. The character creator is definitely detailed, but it still requires a skilled hand and knowledge of how it works to create accurate likenesses of other characters.
