Red Dead Redemption 2 was released by Rockstar Games in 2018 as a western action adventure following outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang. Opening chests, lockboxes and drawers is a core looting loop throughout the campaign, so players hear this wooden and metal foley hundreds of times while searching cabins, camps and abandoned buildings. As RDR2 clips and edits spread on YouTube and TikTok, the sound became a recognisable shortcut for finding loot, and creators outside the game now reuse it for unboxings and reveal jokes.

The RDR2 chest open sound effect from Red Dead Redemption 2, with its wooden creak and metal clasp, used for looting and treasure reveal moments.
This is the short looting sound from Red Dead Redemption 2 that plays when Arthur Morgan opens a chest, drawer or lockbox in the game world. It starts with a heavy wooden lid creaking and lifting, followed by the scrape of metal hinges and a soft thud as it settles open. There is no music or dialogue, just the close, tactile foley of wood and iron recorded to feel weighty and old. For players it instantly signals a reward is inside, creating a small moment of curiosity and satisfaction before the contents are revealed.
