Player notes

Dutch van der Linde asks Arthur Morgan and Hosea Matthews to leave Clemens Point for a fishing trip on Flat Iron Lake. While riding out, they meet Sheriff Leigh Gray and Deputy Archibald MacGregor, who are escorting prisoners in a wagon. Dutch notices Josiah Trelawny locked in the rear cell. Gray says Trelawny has been running an illegal gold prospecting scheme, but Anders Anderson and the other Anderson Boys break free and flee toward a passing train.

The fugitives climb aboard the train, and Dutch offers Arthur's help in return for Trelawny's release. Archibald rides with Arthur as they pursue it. Arthur boards the moving train, fights his way past the Anderson Boys and reaches Anders in a livestock car. Anders attacks with a knife, but Arthur knocks him unconscious. With Anders loaded onto Arthur's horse, Arthur and Archibald take him to Rhodes and deliver him to the Sheriff's Office. Gray releases Trelawny as promised.

Arthur may return to Clemens Point, or join Dutch and Hosea for the fishing trip they had planned. If he goes with them, the three take a boat out onto Flat Iron Lake and fish with lake lures while talking about their past. When they are finished, they row back along the shore to Clemens Point and bring the boat in at the camp's dock.

Trivia

  • โ—†If the player decides to go fishing with Dutch and Hosea, they will gain a small amount of Honor.
  • โ—†If the player doesn't take damage during the fight with Anderson, Arthur will still react as if he did.
  • โ—†When starting this mission, depending on the time of day, Dutch will have different dialogue regarding the fishing trip.
  • โ—†The mission's name may be a reference to the "new south" political term in the history of the Southern United States, first used during the Reconstruction era after the American Civil War and later in the Civil rights movement.
  • โ—†It's confirmed that the gang spent some time in New Austin before the botched ferry heist, with Hosea mentioning they had safe spots picked out there to lie low in after the ferry job, and Dutch describing New Austin as, "still wild, and open" saying that's the way it should be. This also confirms that's what the gang originally planned to do after the ferry job. But due to the heist being a disaster, the gang was forced to flee north instead, eventually settling in Colter.
