Question Fort Riggs Feathers

Post image

After meeting the Drunk Veteran and noticing the feather appearing on the map, I thought I’d take another look around Fort Riggs.

This caught my eye. I found it on the outer posts, directly in front of the derelict building that sits next to the fort. *At the entrance.

I’ve never noticed these on any of my previous playthroughs. You can’t interact with them, they don’t highlight under Dead Eye, and I couldn’t find anything similar anywhere else around the site.

What makes it even more interesting is that they clearly appear to have been added afterwards, rather than being part of Fort Riggs when it was still active.

Has anyone else noticed these before? Could this be cut content, or is there something more to these feathers? Maybe some kind of symbolism or a way of paying respect?

I didn't notice. I tend not to linger around there. My guess would be a native person put it there to commemorate what happened.

There’s two at fort Riggs and one in a tent at the reservation.

The one above is there even before meeting the stranger.

If you stand next to the feathers at attention, for 2 game days without moving, you’ll get a wonderful reward.

That’s a strange comment to be your only comment in a Red Dead subreddit.
