Note del giocatore

I Skinner Brothers sono assassini e saccheggiatori nomadi che predano animali e persone, occupando accampamenti rudimentali o creandone di propri mentre si spostano. Mostrano scarso interesse per il denaro e vivono separati dalla società civile, indossando abiti laceri e portando spesso barbe folte e incolte. I loro attacchi sono caratterizzati da torture e mutilazioni, tra cui lo scalpo, lo scuoiamento e lo smembramento. Nel 1898, possono essere incontrati in Ambarino durante Red Dead Online. Entro il 1905, hanno raggiunto Tall Trees in West Elizabeth.

Charles Smith afferma che gli Skinners terrorizzano Tall Trees da circa due anni quando John Marston inizia a costruire Beecher's Hope. In "The Tool Box", tendono un'imboscata a John, Charles e ai lavoratori assunti fuori da Manzanita Post. Gli uomini li respingono, poi trovano la loro guardia Willard Wayne morto con un coltello in un occhio. Charles seppellisce Willard prima di tornare con John e Uncle a Beecher's Hope per iniziare i lavori al ranch.

Gli Skinners colpiscono di nuovo dopo il completamento della casa in "Uncle's Bad Day", rapendo Uncle e bruciandogli la schiena sul fuoco. John e Charles rintracciano la banda fino al suo accampamento, uccidono i rapitori e riportano Uncle a casa. Charles ritiene che le perdite li terranno lontani dal ranch. John può in seguito dare la caccia a Otis Skinner e Elias Green come taglie, uccidendoli o consegnandoli vivi a Blackwater, dove i prigionieri vengono impiccati. La banda rimane attiva intorno al 1907.

Curiosità

  • ◆The Skinner Brothers perform sadistic acts on their victims similar to that of the Murfree Brood gang which are located in Roanoke Ridge, as well as the Night Folk, found across Bayou Nwa and Bluewater Marsh in Lemoyne. All three gangs horrifically mutilate, torture and murder their victims and often attack and kill people seemingly just for the enjoyment of it.
  • ◆Many members of the Skinner Brothers wear similar clothing to Dutch's Gang in Red Dead Redemption; some are also of native origin, which further adds to the similarities. Additionally, the Skinners are endemic to Tall Trees, which is where Dutch is mentioned to have been sighted and later operates his gang in.
  • ◆Unlike other outlaw gangs, the Skinner Brothers don't have a main hideout that players can attack.
  • ◆The Skinner Brothers are unique in they are the only characters besides Charles Smith, Eagle Flies, the Night Folk and the player character to use bows - many of their victims are seen with multiple arrows embedded into them and they often fight the player using bows rather than guns. Aside from this, their camps can be recognized by gruesome decorations, such as hanging corpses, mutilated bodies, scattered human parts, and blood trails.
  • ◆In addition to the rogue hunters, the Skinner brothers have a large number of Indians (probably exiled from their tribes) who see many of them and use their bows.
  • ◆If the player kills a lot of the Skinner Brothers in Red Dead Redemption 2, they will actually fear the player, who can overhear them sharing their worries in their enemy camps, saying things such as "He can slit us in our sleep for all we know".
  • ◆The Skinner Brothers are most likely based on the Harpe brothers, a pair of serial killers and gang members from the early American frontier, who also mutilated their victims.
  • ◆Borodin's Gang, encountered in the Yukon Nik Borodin legendary bounty mission in Red Dead Online share the same PED models and dialogue as members of the Skinner Brothers.
  • ◆Despite Charles Smith's comment in "Uncle's Bad Day" stating that the gang arrived in Tall Trees two years prior to 1907, they can be encountered as enemies in the region as well as the Great Plains in Red Dead Online.
  • ◆In the telegram mission "Strange Tales of The Wilderness," they have a very large fort in Tall Trees. It does not appear outside of the mission, despite it's large size.
  • ◆If one can overhear the Skinners' conversations without being noticed, as well as through special mods (thanks to a player who is investigating the game's mysteries), it becomes clear that their actions, although brutal, are also being directed by someone, even though they are consciously committing their crimes. For example, they talk about a "man in a hat" who is not always pleased with their "harvest," and they try to please him. If this is likely to be the Strange Man, it suggests that he has influenced or enchanted them to hunt humans. (It is possible that they were early trappers, but now they have changed their "target" for hunting, just like the former residents of Bayou Nwa, who became members of the "Night Gang" and did not touch the hut of a Strange Man.)
