Player notes
During the epilogue, John Marston takes up the bounty on Cortez. John tracks the gang leader to Gaptooth Breach, a Del Lobo hideout in Gaptooth Ridge. Cortez has armed guards stationed around the breach, and John fights through them before reaching him. John confronts Esteban after clearing the hideout, with Ramón's capture forming part of their exchange when Ramón has already been taken in.
Cortez's fate rests on the outcome of the confrontation. John can kill him at Gaptooth Breach and take his body back to Tumbleweed, or subdue him alive for the sheriff. If captured, Esteban is delivered to Tumbleweed and placed in jail.
