Player notes

John Marston arrives in Escalera as Captain De Santa and Quique Montemayor force a group of women onward for Colonel Allende. They tell John that Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella are travelling with Abraham Reyes. Allende offers him 20,000 pesos and information on Escuella if he will protect an army train crossing Nuevo Paraรญso. John accepts the assignment.

Captain Espinoza takes John by wagon towards Chuparosa. Rebels attack the convoy from horseback and from the surrounding hills, and John helps the captain's soldiers drive them off. Espinoza reveals that the men accompanying them are new recruits, suggesting that De Santa expects neither of them to survive the journey.

At Chuparosa, John boards the train and takes control of its Gatling gun. Rebel riders pursue it on both sides, then fire from Las Hermanas and climb aboard after the train passes through a tunnel. John keeps them away from the engine and cuts down more attackers on the hills south of Brittlebrush Trawl. The train reaches Butter Bridge, where Base Commander Felipe Carriedo thanks him.

Trivia

  • โ—†After completing the mission and speaking with the base commander, the player can climb aboard the train and mount the Gatling gun again. The player can then kill everyone in the area and, sometimes, may not receive any kind of bounty imposed.
  • โ—†If the player points the Gatling gun at the Captain, he may jump up onto the next part of the train and run towards the player. He may fall off, but, if he does, he will appear back near the engine.
  • โ—†If the player goes back to Allende's Villa, the gates will be locked and there is no way into it until after the mission "An Appointed Time"
  • โ—†The player can also ride their horse to Chuparosa, but almost no dialogue will be spoken until the train.
  • โ—†This is by far the longest time a player can use a machine gun.
  • โ—†When John is asked whether he knows how to use the Gatling gun he replies "point and pull the trigger", however, the Gatling gun does not have a trigger but instead has a firing handle which John turns to fire.
  • โ—†This mission foreshadows De Santa's betrayal of John and the fact that both Javier and Bill are under paid protection of Colonel Allende. Espinoza comments that De Santa didn't expect him or John to come back alive from the mission and even gave Espinoza new recruits to ensure they failed. At one point, John also asks Espinoza if he knows Javier Escuella's location, To which he refuses to answer but never denies not knowing his whereabouts, Hinting that the Mexican Army was sheltering him all along.
  • โ—†20,000 pesos, adjusted for inflation and U.S. dollar value, would have been worth around $500 in 1911. Colonel Allende never pays this amount.
  • โ—†At the end of the opening cinematic, Allende bends double and vomits: the result is bright yellow, indicating it is bile. The most common reason for this to happen would be a severe hangover (the body is attempting to purge an empty stomach), which would indicate Allende is an extremely heavy drinker.
