After adding a black Chevrolet Impala into the single-player mode ofRed Dead Redemption 2, Reddit user TheBackou uploading a clip that showcased the vehicle during the day in Blackwater. The clip demonstrates the car’s driving mechanics, with Arthur Morgan acting as the driver. According to the player, the mod is a work in progress, with the car’s audio being noticeably absent. TheBackou can only achieve so much with the car, claiming that the lack of YFT support (the type of 3D file used for thevehicles inGrand Theft Auto 5) will affect the proper weight of the asset. As a result, the car is either too bouncy or too heavy. TheBackou’s mod was made possible thanks to previous work done by SiloNugget, Luman Studios, and WesternGamer. WesternGamer also assisted TheBackou in making the mod functional.
The Chevrolet Impala is an update to TheBackou’s previous work on the car from another video.

While TheBackou’s mod is limited by the technology of the game, the video is an exciting update for the Chevrolet Impala mod that shows how far it has come. In the comments, TheBackou claims that vehicle work, including blinkers and audio, is being developed. Until then, only time will tell what additions are made to the black Chevrolet Impala mod.
