HAVEN (Harmonious Adventure & Visual Expression Network) is a completely free, peaceful alternative to expensive mod menus like Fortitude ($50). Built on YimMenu's HorseMenu, HAVEN transforms RDR2 into a creative sandbox where players can express themselves, build settlements, and explore the world in entirely new ways.
"Red Dead Redemption 2 should be accessible to everyone who wants to use it as a peaceful creative outlet - not just those who can afford expensive menus."
HAVEN is designed for:
- Creative Expression - Build camps, customize everything, create art
- Peaceful Gameplay - Zero griefing tools, no toxic features
- Accessibility - Completely FREE for everyone
- Therapeutic Gaming - A safe space for neurodivergent players and those seeking calm experiences
- Community - Peaceful communication tools instead of combat-focused features

HAVEN is NOT a virus - it's a mod menu that uses RDR2's native game functions through memory manipulation. Here's how it works:
RDR2 has built-in functions for everything (spawning objects, changing weather, etc.). HAVEN just calls these functions:
// Example: Spawning an object
Hash modelHash = "p_chair05x"_J; // Chair model
STREAMING::REQUEST_MODEL(modelHash, false); // Ask game to load model
Object obj = OBJECT::CREATE_OBJECT(modelHash, x, y, z, true, true, false, false, false);This is the SAME way the game spawns objects internally. We're not hacking or exploiting - just calling existing functions.
Fire trails, sparkles, etc. use the game's particle system:
STREAMING::REQUEST_NAMED_PTFX_ASSET("core"_J);
GRAPHICS::USE_PARTICLE_FX_ASSET("core");
GRAPHICS::_START_PARTICLE_FX_NON_LOOPED_ON_PED_BONE_2(
"proj_flare_fuse", ped, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, boneIndex, 0.3f, false, false, false
);The game already has all these effects for missions - we just trigger them.
The top-down camera is created using the game's camera system:
Cam camera = CAM::CREATE_CAM("DEFAULT_SCRIPTED_CAMERA", true);
CAM::SET_CAM_ROT(camera, pitch, roll, yaw, 2);
CAM::SET_CAM_ACTIVE(camera, true);
CAM::RENDER_SCRIPT_CAMS(true, false, 3000, true, false, 0);Nothing malicious - just moving the camera.
Rate limiting is simple counting:
if (eventCount > 100) { // More than 100 events per second?
return true; // Block it (it's spam)
}We're not "hacking back" - just refusing to process spam.
- Sky Colors: Game has timecycle modifiers for different atmospheres
- Slow Motion: Game has time scale for cutscenes
- Model Changing: Game swaps player model for story missions
- Flying: Disable gravity flag that's used for swimming
- Telekinesis: Move entity coords + freeze physics
- Fireworks: Spawn explosion particles at calculated positions
Everything is built-in to RDR2 already - HAVEN just exposes it to players!

Q: Is HAVEN a virus? A: No! See the Technical Documentation section above. All code is open source and uses only native game functions.
Q: Will I get banned? A: Mod menus always carry some risk. Use responsibly and avoid obviously impossible actions in public lobbies.
Q: Why is HAVEN free when Fortitude costs $50? A: We believe creative tools should be accessible to everyone, not gatekept by paywalls. Gaming should be inclusive.
Q: Can I use HAVEN and Fortitude together? A: Technically yes, but why pay $50 when HAVEN has more creative features for free?
Q: How do I report toxic players using HAVEN? A: HAVEN has no toxic features by design. If someone is griefing, they're using a different menu.
Q: Can I donate to support HAVEN? A: HAVEN will always be free. If you want to support, contribute code or help other players!
HAVEN exists because gaming should be accessible and therapeutic, not expensive and toxic.
Too many players - especially those with autism, PTSD, anxiety, and other conditions - rely on games like RDR2 as peaceful escapes. When menus like Fortitude charge $50 and include griefing tools, they're:
- Gatekeeping creativity behind paywalls
- Enabling toxicity with harassment features
- Harming peaceful players who just want to build and explore
HAVEN is our answer: A completely free, 100% peaceful, feature-rich alternative that puts creativity and expression first.
- ⭐ Star this repo to show support for free, peaceful gaming
- 🔄 Share HAVEN with players who can't afford expensive menus
- 🤝 Contribute features that enhance creativity and expression
- 💬 Spread the word that gaming can be peaceful AND free
Made with ❤️ by the peaceful RDR2 community
"In a world of expensive griefing tools, be a free creative sanctuary."
