Animal Crossing: New Horizons art buyers beware! Turns out Redd can come ashore toting only fake merchandise.
Redd, the roguish art dealer of the Animal Crossing world, is known to be quite a trickster. At this point, gamers are well aware that Redd has no qualms over peddling counterfeit art as the real deal, but sometimes that’s all he has. It’s been an assumption that at least one of Redd’s pieces of art will be authentic, but thanks to some intel from a Twitter user named Ninji we know the truth.
Thanks to this helpful gamer, Animal Crossing addicts have the numbers behind Redd’s tricks. According to Ninji, of the four works for sale there’s a 10% one will be fake, a 30% chance two will be fake, a 50% chance for three fakes, and a 10% chance that he’ll be offering nothing but fakes. Spotting a fake varies in difficulty and has become something of an art form itself within the game.
For most, Redd’s visits are few and far between which means hopes generally run high for a few new pieces to show Blathers when gamers see that black smoke billowing on their secret beach. And as if all of that weren’t enough, his limit one art purchase per visit makes putting together a proper collection a seriously drawn out process.
There’s a least a little bit of comfort to take in the fact that getting a shipment of fakes is on the low end, but completing the art wing of the museum is hard enough without being taken advantage of by a fox.
