Red Dead Redemption 2 has smashed records since its opening weekend and players can’t get enough of the Wild West adventure from Rockstar Games. The reactions to the stunningly immersive world have been intense, but what truly shows off what an “experience” this game is and how real it gets is one particular scene regarding the KKK.

If you’re roaming around, you might just catch a glimpse of a KKK burning cross meeting in action. There are a few ways to go about responding to the meeting of the white supremacist meeting: Open fire immediately or wait just a little longer for an even more satisfying ending.
Spoiler warning below for specific in-game event:
1. Open fire immediately for swift justice.
2. Throw a stick of dynamite into the crowd and go ham.
3. If you wait it out, you’ll see two of the members accidentally set themselves on fire. This will then give the option to speak with the leader, who will then pull a knife on you. Then … go ham.
No matter which way players chose to take on this particular scene, one thing is for sure: The reaction was immediate:
