Red Dead Redemption 2: What Arthur Morgan & Co. Did Before Joining The Van Der Linde Gang

He confessed to having fought against the Native Americans, causing a bit tense between him and Charles at the beginning. In 1893, Bill once tried to rob Dutch, only for Dutch to turn the tables and offered him a place in his g

This mission starts at Casa Madrugada, where John finds a man beating up a woman. John intervenes, discovering this woman is a prostitute named Eva and the man is her pimp, Mario. John will pay the man $200 to free the woman, helping her escape the abuse. Unfortunately, the story doesn't end here. The woman will leave for Las Hermanas, and after a few days, John can go to check in on

It's no wonder why so many players skip this part. The easiest way to complete this quest is to upgrade the player's satchel, maximize the Honor Hardest rdr2 Challenges bar , and buy premium cigarettes (preferably in Saint Denis). It's time-consuming, but it's nice to see a complete set in the protagonist's possess

This RDR1 stranger mission can be found in front of the Armadillo sheriff's office near the start of the game. There are three parts to this mission; the first requires the player to look for a woman's son, the second has the player look for a man's missing wife, and the last goes to search for a missing husband, where they find what is causing these people to go miss

Players who head south from the town of Valentine will find themselves in Castor's Ridge, one of the many breathtaking locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 . This area houses a series of events that players can take an active role in if they come to this place multiple times throughout their advent

Rhodes is a small-sized town that serves as the location of a key turning point in the game's narrative. This is the location of the first major death of consequence for the Van Der Linde Gang in Red Dead Redemption 2 as Sean MacGuire is shot and kil

In this mission, John gets involved with politics. The mission starts at the gazebo in Blackwater Plaza, where John speaks to a blackmailer. The blackmailer says there is a man who is speaking out against the governor, who is trying to get reelected. John is tasked with convincing the gossiper to not talk about the governor anym

The Strange Man is an enigma, and everything in this side quest foreshadows the ending of the game. In the third meeting with him, the Strange Man will mysteriously remark how this location makes for a "fine spot." It turns out to be the final resting place for John, Uncle, and Abigail later down the line. The three bullets that John shoots at him before the gun jams could be a way to show how all three characters die, but Jack is spa

If players fancy collecting the Pokemon Cards' of the Old West, then 'Smoking and Other Hobbies' is something to consider. In this mission, players are required to collect up to 12 Cigarette Card Sets, and each set contains 12 cards. That means, 144 unique cards have to be obtained, ranging from the Prominent Americans Card Set to the Horses Cards

This is achieved by showing certain pictures of the gossiper. Interestingly, players can check the photos before handing them over, showing the gossiper performing scandalous acts with a prostitute. The gossiper agrees to cease talking about the governor, successfully being blackmailed. It's a simple yet fun mission that gives players a look at the twisted politics of Red Dead Redemption and how the people in power will do everything possible to maintain this hold. It's a familiar theme that Red Dead Redemption 2 players have witnessed firsthand over the course of this sequel's narrat

After going to visit the camp again, Arthur finds out that the lumberjacks are being hounded by a pack of wolves who are irritating them every step of the way. As always, players who want to play the role of the good Samaritan can go and kill these animals, allowing the lumberjacks to resume their work without worrying about being hunted d

One of the coolest and most often-overlooked missions is "A Bright Bouncing Boy," which can be started once players reach Saint Denis. There, just north of the Horse Stable on the edge of town, players will encounter a man named Marko Dragic. The inventor is being called a fraud by some strangers and enlists Arthur's help to prove them wrong, roping players into a fun mini-game where they must pilot a remote-controlled b

However, what players very likely don't encounter is that same weather turning against them, as it is possible to get struck by lightning in the game. And much like in real life, it's a very rare occurrence. Naturally, though, the more time players spend in the game, the more likely it is to hap

Javier escaped to the US sometime in the late 1890s after killing an influential figure in his hometown. Later, he met Dutch when he was trying to steal some chickens, and soon enough, he was offered a spot in the g

There are times when players have the opportunity to interact with members of the camp and go on interesting adventures with them. Such is the case when players get the chance to rob a stagecoach with Bill Williamson, roping in Tilly along the
