The type of Stranger mission in RDR2 players will experience can vary wildly from encounter to encounter. From peaceful conversations to violent bursts of action, Arthur Morgan and John Marston never really know what they're stepping into when they approach a new Stranger. Here’s a look at some of Red Dead Redemption 2’s oddest Stranger missi

At the end of the cutscene, Lemieux orders Arthur to kill Jean-Marc. Arthur will be on the fence about executing the Mayor's orders. While Jean-Marc is on his knees begging for mercy, players will have to choose whether they want to kill him or spare his life. It's one of the most crucial choices in this Stranger Mission and governs everything from the impact on Arthur's honor to the very fate of Saint Denis as well, as one would expect.

The Undead Nightmare DLC has been hugely popular with Red Dead Redemption 2 beginner guide Dead fans - and this mission is a nod to the zombie movies that inspired it. When filmmaker D.S. MacKenna has the mighty brainwave to make a movie about "flesh-eating monsters," John can’t help but ask: "What kind of sick person would like th

The last, and most chaotic, train robbery of Red Dead Redemption 2 comes at the end of the game. The gang is broken and members have gone their separate ways, but Dutch has one more job to pull. When the train doesn’t stop in Saint Denis as planned, the remaining gang members chase it down on horseback, resulting in the player jumping from horse to train and vice versa multiple times as they trek along the train tracks in an explosive shoot

It’s a good question - but everyone knows the answer. And John’s happy enough to source actors for MacKenna’s movie, so maybe he, too, thinks it’s kind of a cool idea. Either way, MacKenna gets pretty much what he deserves at the end of this miss

While it’s easy to draw some of the side quests out over a few gaming sessions, this stranger encounter is too fun and intriguing not to do in one sitting. Margaret, a circus performer, has crashed his caravan and lost three exotic animals in the pastures near Bluewater Ma

Jean-Marc may be a side character, but it doesn't take long for the man to prove how honorable he is. He works as a lieutenant under Henri Lemieux, the mayor of Saint Denis , who regularly engages in corrupt activities for his own gain. After Arthur accompanies him on a mission given by the mayor himself, Jean-Marc is actively displeased by the tasks he's being forced to carry out, making it clear that he doesn't want to work for such an unscrupulous individual anymore. He's a man who believes in the concept of honor and doesn't want the city to pay for the mayor's misdeeds, which is understandable.

The main reward for killing Jean-Marc is a permanent 10% discount in all Saint Denis stores. The mayor will write to Arthur and send his thanks for getting rid of Jean-Marc. However, choosing this option will reduce Arthur's honor. The discount is a decent perk that players can enjoy in the city, even if players would argue that this discount isn't worth the death of a man who was trying to do the right thing. The other consequence of the decision is that the city will begin drilling on the Indian Reservation.

Steeped in Greek mythology, this side mission is filled with foreshadowing - so players kind of know what’s going to happen before it does. Not that that takes any of the fun out of it. In the myth, Daedalus created the wings that led to his son Icarus plunging to his death after flying too close to the sun. Even the mission title is filled with punny forebod

Lemieux is worried that Jean-Marc will turn on him and expose the corruption in the city. He also mentions that Jean-Marc could spread rumors about Arthur's illicit activities. Players will then need to travel to Jean Marc's home, which is in Rue De Zacharie just south of the A in Saint Denis. Gamers will spot Jean-Marc attempting to open his door, and a cutscene will initiate. Arthur will knock him out on the spot. Next, Arthur will need to take Jean-Marc back to the Mayor's house without being seen. This step should not be too difficult, as it will be nighttime. Still, players should try not to attract any unwanted attention that can force them to retry this step of the mission again.

As Arthur and John race to the front cars, they’re met with heavy resistance. Train cars erupt in fiery explosions, causing them to derail and fly off the tracks. During a break in the fighting, Arthur and John discover and mount up a Gatling gun just as dozens of lawmen race in next to the train on horseback. Right before the gun is ready, a guard sneaks up and shoots John in the shoulder and causes him to fall off the tr

Billy likes to drink away his troubles at the train bar, and when Arthur approaches him about his gunslinger past he immediately becomes terrified out and takes off through the train. The player must chase down the bumbling Billy Midnight and race through the train cars, eventually leading to a gunslinger duel atop the moving locomotive. In the end, Billy loses to Arthur. When the player goes to rob Billy of his belongings, they’ll discover a unique variant of Red Dead Redemption 2's Mauser Pistol. Is it a "train robbery" per se? Not really, but it is still robbery on a tr
