Character creation is always a fun part of games, especially when it is in depth enough for players to really let their creativity flow. Red Dead Online has a great character creator for this purpose, and the gear and aesthetic items players can get lend themselves well to making a lot of diverse looks. One popular use of the character creator and accompanying equipment in the game is create cosplay characters, characters that look like a character from another game. Redditor Lilzomboid did just that, making their character look almost identical to Bill Overbeck from the iconic Left 4 Dead franchise.

Red Dead Online players have been making cosplay builds like this for a while now with varying degrees of success. The character creator is definitely detailed, but it still requires a skilled hand and knowledge of how it works to create accurate likenesses of other characters. Lilzomboid did an amazing job in this case, as the side by side photo shows how similar the copycat is to the original.

Obviously there are some limitations, especially when it comes to gear, so Red Dead Online virtual cosplayers have to get creative. For Bill, the first major difference players might notice is the hat. In Left 4 Dead, Bill wears an army beret, whereas the Red Dead Online equivalent seems to have a type of flat cap. Beyond that, the shirt, jacket, and boots all seem to be pretty spot on, and the Red Dead Online version even straps the gun to the same place that the Left 4 Dead version has a strap.

Judging by this cosplay and Lilzomboid's username, it seems like they are an avid fan of Left 4 Dead and zombies in general. This is confirmed by checking out some of their other work in Red Dead Online's character creator. They have made cosplay builds for several other characters, but the Barry Burton one from Resident Evil got quite a bit of attention. Players wanting to check out more of these should be sure to head over to Lilzomboid's profile page on Reddit.
