Red Dead Online: What Mottling Is

What Mottling Is in Red Dead Online

Red Dead Online adds the highly anticipated multiplayer mode to Red Dead Redemption 2, allowing players to design and customize a brand new character for their very own journey across the Wild West. If you’re wondering what mottling is in Red Dead Online, here’s what you need to know.

The initial stages of Red Dead Online task you with creating your own character. There should be plenty of presets and character creation options even for all but the most obsessive of players. You’re able to select from a number of head types, skin colors, and then fiddle around with the nuances of their features as well.

One of the customization options is skin mottling, which is something that’s been baffling players who aren’t familiar with the word. Essentially, mottling is defined as something marked with spots of blotches. In the case of Red Dead Online’s character creator, it denotes the blend of different colors on the skin.

There are several different levels of skin mottling you can apply, which basically add a bit of depth to your character’s complexion and perhaps make it a little more realistic.

It’s not hugely noticeable, though, if we’re honest, but we’d suggest opting for some slight mottling if you’re going for an aged character appearance or a gruff, hardened cowboy. Fair maidens are warned to stay away from the skin mottling option.

That’s all the information you should need about what mottling is in Red Dead Online. For more useful guides and tips on the game, be sure to check out our extensive Red Dead Redemption 2 wiki page, which covers both the single-player and multiplayer game modes.
