Player notes

Arthur meets Bill Williamson, Micah Bell and Sean MacGuire in Rhodes, where the men expect to discuss a security job with the Gray family. Bill leads them down the town's main street, but Arthur and Sean distrust the arrangement. Their fears are confirmed when Gray gunmen spring an ambush. Sean is shot dead without warning, and Bill takes a bullet in the shoulder as Arthur, Micah and Bill return fire from the street.

The surviving gang members fight through the ambush, then learn that the attackers are holding positions in the Gunsmith. Arthur and Micah force their way in through the rear of the store and clear the building, driving the remaining gunmen outside. In the confusion, Sheriff Leigh Gray's men seize the wounded Bill and take him to the Sheriff's Office. Arthur and Micah leave the Gunsmith and face the lawmen in the street.

Sheriff Gray emerges with Bill at gunpoint, accompanied by Archibald MacGregor and two deputies. He orders Arthur and Micah to surrender, but Arthur shoots the Sheriff before he can harm Bill. Micah and Arthur kill the other lawmen. Once Bill is free, Arthur rebukes Bill and Micah for walking into the trap and mourns Sean. The three men take Sean's body and ride away from Rhodes into Scarlett Meadows.

Trivia

  • โ—†When the mission becomes available, all shops in Rhodes will be closed temporarily. Players will be able to visit them again after completing the mission "The Battle of Shady Belle".
  • โ—†The Rhodes train station is also devoid of people. This serves as a sign of the incoming ambush by the Grays.
  • โ—†Blackjack can still be played in the saloon despite being mostly empty.
  • โ—†Sean's horse, Ennis, is not seen at the start of the mission, while Bill's and Micah's horses are present, serving as an implication that he will not make it out of the mission.
  • โ—†Shortly before the mission becomes available the player can observe Sean and Jack Marston in a random camp event in the Clemens Point camp that foreshadows that something bad is about to happen to Sean: Sean and Jack find a dead white rabbit to which Sean tells him that the rabbit is a sign, though he does not know of what. A white rabbit is generally considered to be a symbol of good luck, while encountering a dead white rabbit portends that someone's luck has run out.
  • โ—†Finishing this mission automatically starts โ€œBlood Feuds, Ancient and Modernโ€.
  • โ—†During the final standoff, Arthur only needs to shoot Sheriff Gray; the three deputies would be shot by Micah before they can shoot him, Arthur or Bill.
  • โ—†It is also impossible to disarm Sheriff Gray or any of the deputies during the standoff, since any accurate shot will kill them instantly.
  • โ—†Depending on Arthur's honor, he will say something different at the end of the mission.
  • โ—†If Arthur's honor is high, he will say that he misses Sean and that he was like an annoying little brother to him and that they had great fun riding together.
  • โ—†If Arthur's honor is low, he will say that Sean has been killed in an ambush and that there is still no sign of the confederate gold.
  • โ—†Two Double-Barreled Shotguns can be found in this mission: the one from Sean's corpse, and another near the back door to the Gunsmith's.
  • โ—†When entering the Gunsmith's, the player is free to use the front entrance instead of the back without failing the mission, though Micah will be annoyed that his instructions were ignored.
  • โ—†The dynamite barrel outside the Gunsmith's cannot be destroyed during this mission.
  • โ—†Before this mission is unlocked, Arthur can be informed by either Dutch (if all the other missions are completed) or by Josiah (after the mission "Friends in Very Low Places") to meet Bill and the others in Rhodes.
