Red Dead Redemption 2: How to do the Meat Shield Glitch

Arthur was never supposed to survive New Austin, but RDR2 gives us enough room to break the rules.
In this fun tribute to John Carpenter's The Thing, we look at the carcass “meat shield” glitch; a strange exploit that can protect Arthur from the invisible New Austin sniper. By interrupting a pickup animation, animal carcasses can be attached to Arthur.
This is one of the strangest and most useful glitches in Red Dead Redemption 2

Thank you for your insights and well crafted videos. Your channel helped revive my interest in one of my favorite games 👍
Great detailed video on this subject though. Love the content, please keep em coming!!!!!👊👊👊👊
Now, if you can do the same explanation and workaround for the melee mechanics, that would be fantastic. I say this with getting gold for the A New South mission in mind. So random taking no damage from Anders...
edit. Was just waiting for a scene of Arthur and Charles sat at a campfire in the cold snow, sharing a bottle of whiskey and staring each other down lol
FPS can get him killed. Sniper scope is safe.
Using the poison arrow is not a requisite. It’s just easier when you can hit the anmial anywhere and just wait for it to go down, You can use the bow to complete the glitch.
Any animal that Arthur can carry can work but despawn when arthur dies. Legendary ones stay after dying but also despawn after reloading a save.
Aiming while mounted can stableize Arthur’s head, not required, but greatly increases survival rate.
What about First person view? How does the Sniper act, then?
