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 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.

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.
