Player notes

Arthur Morgan approaches Reverend Swanson at Beaver Hollow, but Dutch van der Linde calls him away before the reverend can say much. Dutch talks of taking the gang north to New York and later to the tropics, while Arthur doubts their ability to pull off another score. Karen and Javier then escort Eagle Flies into camp. He says the Army has seized the Wapiti Reservation's horses, leaving his people facing starvation, and calls the theft an act of war.

Charles Smith refuses to break his promise to Rains Fall by joining Eagle Flies' fight. Dutch nevertheless offers the gang's help and refuses Eagle Flies' money. Arthur and Charles ride with Dutch and Eagle Flies toward the Lannahechee River, wary of Dutch's sudden interest. Dutch tells Arthur that trouble between the Army and the Wapiti could draw attention away from the gang. Near Copperhead Landing, they meet Paytah and other Wapiti men, then wait for darkness.

At night, the group rows out to the Army boat carrying the stolen horses. Arthur, Dutch, Charles and Eagle Flies climb aboard and quietly deal with the guards, including soldiers gathered around a poker game. Once the deck is clear, Dutch takes control of the vessel. The group frees the anchor with dynamite, but Dutch loses control as the boat surges forward and crashes, leaving it to flood.

The men release the horses and swim them toward the riverbank. Arthur brings the remaining animals ashore by mounting one horse and leading the others through the water. At the Lannahechee River, Dutch promises Eagle Flies they will beat the Army and save his people, then rides away with him to return the horses to the reservation. Charles asks Arthur to visit Rains Fall.

Trivia

  • โ—†Strangely, despite the player having to subdue the guards with a "stealth knockout", Arthur will still grab them and break their neck rather than knock them out. The outcome of the raid is lethal anyways, as the soldiers in the boat will drown or die in the dynamite explosion.
  • โ—†When the boat crashes, Dutch will look and act dizzy as if he has received a second head injury, after the one he received from the trolley crash in "Urban Pleasures".
  • โ—†The boat that crashed into the lighthouse at Van Horn will stay there until the end of Chapter 6; it can be seen in the final mission as the player is running up to the lighthouse.
  • โ—†This chapter continues to depict the deteriorating relationship between Dutch and Arthur. It is hinted that Dutch might be aware that Arthur is sick in this chapter and he sardonically references it by saying how Arthur "needs to rest."
