Red Dead Online hackers summon spooky skeletons to beat players up It's quite humerus. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 11 Feb 2020 19 comments Here's something to tickle your funny bone: hackers have figured out how to spawn two-headed skeletons into Red Dead Online, and they've been taking unsuspecting players by surprise. First spotted by VG247, the skeletons have been getting the jump on PC players (and one reported case on PS4), a number of whom seem decidedly rattled by the experience.

This also tallies with a number of recent posts on the subreddit reporting hackers spawning in the balloons, although it also looks like quite a fun day out in the desert.
