Notas del jugador
La Murfree Brood es una banda violenta y territorial que opera en Roanoke Ridge, New Hanover. Sus miembros descienden de la familia Murfree, que se recluye en Beaver Hollow después de que la industrialización transforma la zona. Con el tiempo, se hacen temidos por atacar viajeros, saquear campamentos y expulsar a quienes entran en su territorio. No tienen una causa política declarada. Walt Murfree es uno de sus miembros conocidos.
La banda Van der Linde conoce a la Brood cuando Dutch van der Linde escoge Beaver Hollow como posible lugar para el nuevo campamento. Envía a Arthur Morgan y Charles Smith a las cuevas para desalojar a sus ocupantes. Arthur y Charles avanzan en silencio al principio y matan a varios miembros de la Brood, hasta que salta la alarma y aparece el resto. Ambos luchan por Beaver Hollow y lo toman para la banda Van der Linde.
Tras el tiroteo, Arthur y Charles encuentran a una joven cautiva de la Murfree Brood. Arthur logra tranquilizarla y sacarla de Beaver Hollow. Después la lleva a Annesburg, donde se reúne con su madre. La Brood pierde su guarida, pero no queda destruida y sigue actuando por Roanoke Ridge.
Más adelante, miembros de la Murfree Brood emboscan a Arthur en su territorio. En uno de sus ataques, le envían un carro en llamas antes de rodearlo. Para 1907, la banda se ha recuperado lo suficiente para retomar Beaver Hollow después de que la banda Van der Linde huye. Sigue activa en Roanoke Ridge y puede atacar a John Marston si acampa cerca de sus dominios.
Curiosidades
- ◆Murfrees are unusually durable compared to other human NPCs, being observed surviving point-blank shotgun blasts, and in some cases even headshots with lesser firearms.
- ◆The Murfree Brood frequently use Volcanic Pistols and Double-Barreled Shotguns, making close quarters combat with them a very deadly prospect due to the damage they deal.
- ◆Some groups of Murfrees have custom Cattleman Revolvers and Double-Barreled Shotguns in blued steel with iron sights or trigger guards. They use a method called bluing, a passivation process in which steel is partially protected against rust using a black oxide coating. The Murfrees live in secluded areas and don't have money to buy Gun Oil to keep their weapons in good conditions.
- ◆The Murfree Brood are quite similar to the Skinner Brothers, found in Tall Trees, West Elizabeth, and the Night Folk, found across Bayou Nwa, Lemoyne, owing to all three gangs' extreme brutality, savagery and them being more like a band of crazed serial killers than a gang of outlaws.
- ◆The Murfree Brood have a number of similarities to Boone Helm, infamously known as the "Kentucky Cannibal"; Helm was known to be a troublesome individual, who briefly ran a six-man gang. Helm was notorious for robbing people and consuming their flesh and showing little to no remorse for his actions.
- ◆They also draw parallels with the story of Sawney Bean, a Scottish man who was said to have been the leader of a 45-member clan in Scotland in the 16th century. The Bean Clan lived in caves, reproduced via inbreeding, and robbed travelers and locals alike, and would dismember and consume them.
- ◆The first few times the player camps in Roanoke Ridge they will be approached by Murfrees at their campsite, who will then attempt to intimidate them into staying away from the area.
- ◆Any horses originally in the possession of the Murfrees will be covered in various wounds and other signs of mistreatment, suggesting they either do not care for their animals or that their cruel actions extend to more than just people.
- ◆If you go near a camp with two Murfrees looting some campers, you can overhear one of them talking about "last night" while doing a questionable gesture.
