You read that right. The clever players of "Red Dead Redemption 2" have devised a way to mitigate falling damage by making themselves sick. It's called "vomit-roping," and it's just as grim as you'd expect.

VG247 recently reported on this phenomenon of deliberately ingesting certain plants for the sole purpose of vomiting rings. A very scientific breakdown of why inhaling huge amounts of bulrush causes vomiting can be found on Reddit.

Anyway, the process is as follows: stand next to a shelf, eat the plant that makes you sick, and jump off as soon as the eating animation begins. If there is enough dwell time, they will begin to vomit during the fall, creating a vomit rope and eliminating the fall damage. This is like abseiling.

In related news, Rockstar and Take-Two were unimpressed with the "Red Dead Redemption 2 Hot Coffee" mod, which ported the infamously inaccessible mini-game "Hot Coffee" from "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". Neither party has yet commented on the vomit fall.
