Because mods require manual installation into the game root directory (where RDR2.exe lives), malicious actors have packaged fake mods as "Auto Loot" .asi files. A verified version means:
This is the most critical section for any "verified" discussion.
The Short Answer: The Auto Loot mod is NOT safe for Red Dead Online.
The Long Explanation:
Rockstar Games uses a client-side anti-cheat for RDR2 Online (specifically a flavor of BattlEye + proprietary checks).

If you've never modded RDR2 before, don't panic. It’s easier than it looks.
Let’s be honest: looting bodies in Red Dead Redemption 2 is immersive—the first 50 times. By the time you’ve finished your second playthrough, the animation of Arthur or John patting down a dead O’Driscoll feels less like "Wild West realism" and more like a chore.
Enter the Auto Loot Mod. It promises to solve the game’s slowest mechanic. But with mods comes a big question: Is it verified? And will it get you banned from Red Dead Online?
Yes, for Story Mode. It is verified safe, stable, and a massive quality-of-life improvement for collectors and completionists.
No, for Online. Don't risk it.
Using an Auto Loot mod has made my third playthrough the best one yet. It removes the "video game tedium" and lets you focus on the story and the gunfights.
