As with the breakout side of “The Sisika Situation,” the bulk of the expansion’s replay value for Bounty Hunters would come from increasingly difficult and complex targets, much like that of Red Dead Online ‘s Legendary Bounties. The most difficult ones would require players to build a crew of NPC bounty hunters to assist in the takedown, with their various specialties giving the missions variety akin to GTA Online ‘s Client Jobs . This would ensure that, however players want to plan their setup, there would be ways to fit their playstyles and maximize pay
Were the series to end their it would have been incredible in its own right, but Rockstar took Dutch’s story one step further with John being betrayed after finally dismantling the Van der Linde gang . A crooked lawman double-crossing John is even more poetic irony after learning of Dutch’s deep history of distrust for the law, as is the fact that the reason they were after John was because of all the terrible situations Dutch led him through. The denouement of Rockstar’s epic tragedy is finally unveiled in the epilogue of Red Dead Redemption as players take over as Jack Marston years after his father’s death, and set out on a quest for revenge against the corrupt lawman Edgar R
With notorious criminals being sprung from the penitentiary, there would be even more fugitives roaming the frontier and awaiting justice; enter, the Bounty Hunters. This expansion would perfectly set up new jobs for the Bounty Hunter specialist role to hunt down the fugitives, a concept players have already created themselves in Red Dead Online roleplay servers with prison systems . In addition to Bounty Hunter missions, there could be random Prison Break Free Roam events, where players would jump in as individuals or a posse to see who could round up or put down the most fugitives in an allotted time. Bounty wagons be spaced throughout the instanced area for an easy drop-off, and players could choose between hauling a target in for a maximum reward or opting for the quicker alternative and a lower rew
Many of these secrets are hat-tips to bits of lore found during RDR2 ‘s campaign and references to the original Red Dead Redemption 2 Collectibles Dead Redemption , and they can be easily missed if players don’t stop and smell the tumbleweeds now and then. Some lurk in the trees, while others require players to search derelict buildings that have been swept away by the sands of New Aus
The missions could start with players being contacted by an anonymous source, similar to the recently introduced RDO Telegram Missions . They would then have to meet up with an NPC to get details about their fellow imprisoned gang members. Players would go about assembling a crew, eliciting the help of other NPCs to fit their strategy. If they wanted to go loud and wild, they could contract a demolitions expert. For a stealthier approach, they could find a mole within the prison to grant them access. An even more fun alternative could be a high-risk plan, where players get themselves captured to launch a breakout from the inside, granting an even bigger pay
The events of RDR2 provided the rising action, as Dutch continues to lead the gang into failure after failure with his countless get-rich-quick schemes. The downward spiral of his character is juxtaposed by Arthur’s narrative, which no matter how dishonorably players behave is still the tale of a man who regrets his bad deeds and wants to leave the world in a better place than he found it. This is a fitting counter to Dutch’s increasingly selfish and greedy actions, as Arthur’s good nature is a direct reflection of Dutch raising him that
It turns out that there’s a feral man who lives with wolves in the forests of Roanoke Ridge. He can be spotted a total of three times, with the final encounter leading the player to a cave where this wild man will unleash his wolf pack on the player. If players decide to kill them all, the feral man will fall down as his friends die, and players can find a journal detailing his story and why he chose to live in the forest to begin with. It’s a simple yet well-told story that does a great job of fleshing out Red Dead Redemption 2 ‘s world even m
Location: Various places
There are many unique encounters that players can experience in Red Dead Redemption 2 . One of these moments happens during an innocuous moment of exploration when Arthur randomly finds a gathering of the infamous Ku Klux Klan in the wo
While this may seem a deviation from Dutch’s story, it is fact the fitting end thanks to the expansion on Jack’s character in RDR2 . Both Hosea and Dutch served as grandfather figures for Jack, and were instrumental in his upbringing. Just as Dutch raised up Arthur and John, so too does he directly and indirectly bring Jack up in the same manner. Unlike John and Arthur, who had a childhood before the gang, Jack did not. His entire existence was shaped by his upbringing in the Van der Linde gang, the traumas, that happened there, and his family’s desperate to escape. For the entire tale of Dutch’s gang to reach one of its last remaining members killing a retired lawman in a duel brings Dutch’s story full circle at the cl
