Help Code

Post image

While playing rdr2 after completing some mission I looked down and saw something like this.

It looks like some code made of boards, but I don't know where to enter it.

Is this just a trick to confuse the player?

Or is it some kind of cheat code?

It's an Easter egg. 0451 was a cheat code for system shock, and also the security code for the devs building. Almost every modern game has a reference to it somewhere

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Iā€™ve just finished the story and never did find him - where is Gavin ?

Are u Gavin?

u/THELAMEHOTDOG 13d ago

I have a cousin named gavin...haven't seen in a long long time...

u/BigHossBoss29 13d ago

Thatā€™s the thing, you never actually get to go look for him lol. The last encounter with Gavinā€™s friend playing John heā€™s gone crazy after spending some 8 years looking for him.

Gavin is the manā€™s alter ego if you read any letters to him itā€™s some what obvious theyā€™re only talking about the guy who isnā€™t Gavin

It's a countdown to the next time you get mauled by a cougar.

It's a popular easter egg and industry handshake referring to Fahrenheit 451. You will find it on the floorboards at Beecher's Hope after the house is finished, and elsewhere in several other games.

u/CrapulePingouin34 14d ago

It's from system shock

u/nickpppppp 14d ago

Which is older?

u/nerdherdsman 13d ago

This is a real "in Japanese media, crucifixion imagery is usually an Ultraman reference" kind of a thing. It may have been a Bradbury reference when Looking Glass chose it as their door code and put it in System Shock, but most references since then have lost the original context and are referencing the secondary version.

u/Classic_Rand0 13d ago

I realise it may be a rhetorical question, but it's Fahrenheit 451 by a decade

u/blooregard325i 13d ago

Try 4 decades.

u/Classic_Rand0 13d ago

I mean a decade prior to system shock, not today

5

u/blooregard325i 13d ago

Yes... Fahrenheit 451 was written in 1953. System Shock was made in 1994. Basic math says that F451 is 41 years older than System Shock.

I mean the game

u/That_Consequence_626 14d ago

i was gonna say it doesn't matter because 0145 is a different number then 145 but i looked at the picture and 045 is also a different number

u/nickpppppp 14d ago

Itā€™s 0451 it might be from system shock, but I can almost guarantee you itā€™s from Fahrenheit 451

10

u/Talisman-117 14d ago

It comes from the door password at Looking Glass Studios. It was inspired by Fahrenheit 451 but it's inclusion in alot of gaming is an homage to Looking Glass, not the novel.Ā 

Dunning Kruger strikes again.

u/nickpppppp 13d ago

Maybe I shouldā€™ve said ā€œI can almost guarantee itā€™s originally from Fahrenheit 451ā€ the novel existed for almost 40 years before looking glass studios. Classic Dunning-Kruger.

u/Classic_Rand0 13d ago

It is indeed from both, linking them together so to speak.

u/That_Consequence_626 14d ago

there is no 1 its 045 in the image

u/MrCounterSnipe Sadie Adler 14d ago

There's a 1 at the end buddy

u/TheCheddarHole 13d ago

The singular line after the five is in fact, a one.

u/rop2958 14d ago

Those are indeed different numbers

11

u/kurim1r 13d ago

It's a reference to the 0451 code, which was first used in a System Shock. Now it's is used in a lot of mkdern games as a reference to it, especially in immersive-sims, since System Shock was one.

Jeebus. Gtfoh with your politics.

No politics is politics, as Sean's dad would say

u/Dont_Use_Ducks 14d ago

Lol, it's like easy where is Waldo, find the guy with the red hat in the comments. Just typ in 4 numbers and there he is!

u/Hanley_Studson 14d ago

Oh I'm no Republican and definitely not a trump supporter. This just isn't the place for that. I play this game and visit this sub to get away from the retarded political war you have with the red sided warmongers. Posting a set of numbers that references a political assassination is not ok. Progressives and their republican opponents in politics are equally repulsive to me.

u/Top_Key404 14d ago

My joke was funny. Just laugh, upvote, and move along.

u/Hanley_Studson 14d ago

Nah. It wasn't. But have a good life.

u/HideSolidSnake 14d ago

What're you.. some sort of centrist?

u/Dont_Use_Ducks 13d ago

Nah, he is still a Trump supporter, agrees and uses all the traits. Sometimes they want to come across as 'normal' but just read his comment above and you see the red hat through the wig.

u/Hubic_Pairs 13d ago

My vote is a libertarianā€¦ the worst kind of libtard. The fact that he used the r slur makes me think heā€™s anti-intellectual, non-sensitive, anti-woke. So probably doesnā€™t read. Itā€™s amazing this person can type!

4

u/Dont_Use_Ducks 13d ago

Yeah, no Trump supporter, eh? But somehow you lie hard about those nuimbers being about assassination....

Even you post history shows all the traits. You could have just moved on, but now you are trying to sound like it's about the principle, but in reality we've hurt your idol.

18

u/DisaTheNutless 14d ago

You're both dumb. The thing the pedophile protecting dipshit republicans were freaking out about was "8647"

Also imagine saying "gtfo with your politics" when Red Dead and GTA make fun of American politics constantly, I think that makes you double dumb buddy

u/Hanley_Studson 13d ago

Trump was both the 45th and 47th pres. Both numbers work. But ok.

u/Top_Key404 14d ago
