Red Dead Redemption 2 Fans Uncover Time-Gated Spider Web Puzzle Leading Toward Fort Wallace

Player investigators are following carved pole clues that appear only during brief night windows, with the hunt still unresolved and no confirmation from Rockstar.

Overview

  • Sleuths traced a spider carving on a telegraph pole in the Heartlands to eight more poles, each with a web and a shootable feather that spawns during a specific one-hour night window.
  • A larger, ninth web at the center points north to a pole that, when shot, reveals instructions to go west five poles, then northwest, ending in a guitar icon that directs attention to Fort Wallace.
  • Search efforts at Fort Wallace have found guitars and observations such as the fort’s guitar-like outline and a path toward Dodd’s Bluff, but no definitive next step or reward has emerged.
  • Reporting and file checks suggest the webs have been in the game since launch and are handled similarly to the shootable dreamcatchers, with variations including black and red feathers and differing spawn times.
  • Community figures credited include Reddit users u/FL4VA-01, pariah87, and goldenplaysterraria, plus Synth Potato on X and YouTuber Strange Man, while theories tying the puzzle to GTA 5 webs or a GTA 6 teaser remain speculative.
