Banking, The Old American Art

• ◆Micah (played by Peter Blomquist) wears a white suit and red vest for this mission. Blomquist portrayed another character in a previous Rockstar-published title: L.A. Noire, the main story's overarching antagonist, Doctor Harlan Fontaine, who wears the same outfit color scheme (a red turtleneck with a white suit) in the game. It is unknown if Micah's outfit is a direct reference to Blomquist's role in L.A. Noire or pure coincidence.
• ◆Lenny Summers' death in this mission is the only gang related death to happen outside of a cutscene in Red Dead Redemption 2.
• ◆It is also impossible to save him as the two Pinkerton agents who shoot him cannot be killed until Lenny has been shot.
• ◆The gang members do not wear their usual outfits in this mission; they are all dressed in smart suits instead. This is because a group of men in business dress riding into a city would be less likely to arouse suspicion than a posse of armed men in rugged, outdoorsman clothes.
• ◆After stepping through the blown up wall, the player can turn left and climb over a gate to reach the area in front of the bank, where Hosea's body can be looted. He has nothing special on him though, just random possessions. This will also result in a significant honour loss.
• ◆When escaping the authorities at the end of the mission, the gang departs on a vessel named Antenor. Antenor was the name of five British steamships, the first two of which were built in 1872 and 1896, respectively. The name generally stems from the figure in Greek mythology who was a counselor to King Priam during the Trojan War. Appearing in both The Iliad and The Aeneid, Antenor became known in many versions of the Trojan War story for betraying Troy to the Greeks, fleeing the city's ultimate destruction, or attempting to build various new cities. The name is further referenced in Dante's Inferno, in which part of the deepest level of hell is named "Antenora" as a special place reserved for traitors of the fatherland. Interestingly, this subtly foreshadows Micah's eventual betrayal of the Van der Linde gang.
• ◆It was possible to kill all the gang members without failing the mission by shooting at the wagon in the front at a certain spot in the back with a Shotgun loaded with incendiary rounds. The driver would get off the wagon and stop, messing up the gang members AI and making them stop. The player could kill them by throwing fire bottles at them, although doing this would disallow completion of the mission.
• ◆This glitch was fixed in patch 1.14.
• ◆While there are some minor differences (longer, slightly different coloured-coat etc.), the suit John Marston wears in this mission bears a heavy resemblance to the Elegant Suit in Red Dead Redemption. He is also seen wearing it at his wedding eight years later.
• ◆Right before the gunfight begins, both Dutch and Arthur's bandanas disappear. Neither of them will regain them for the remainder of the mission.
• ◆This mission will automatically continue into the cutscene-only mission "Lost and Not Quite Found".
• ◆If the player is not already carrying a longarm, Javier will toss them a Lancaster Repeater as they head for the rooftop.
• ◆Despite being given by Javier, the weapon is actually the player's own Lancaster Repeater and will carry over any upgrades or customisations already applied to this weapon.
• ◆Despite Dutch's calls for help and the gang's insistence that the gunfight is unwinnable, the player can shoot Pinkertons for as long as they want.
• ◆Conversely, shooting at the Pinkertons after they kill Hosea is optional and the player can simply hide behind the counter and wait for Dutch to prepare the dynamite without shooting a single bullet while inside the bank.
• ◆Arthur and Javier wear the same outfits they wore in "A Fine Night of Debauchery"; Arthur wears The Wittemore and Javier wears a fancy suit.
• ◆After fleeing from the law using the rooftops nearby, Dutch and the rest of his gang escape thanks to a broken window on a building. Dutch is frustrated and doesn't know what to do until he sees an opportunity. Dutch says: "I got it... A boat!" He sees two paintings depicting ships in the room they are in and decides to use that as a plan, even though it seems as if he were smart enough to come up with a plan on the run in the eyes of his gang. Dutch is known for his habit of attempting to solve problems with the first solution he comes up with, even if the solution or plan is likely to fail. In the prologue mission, "Who the Hell is Leviticus Cornwall?", this habit is shown well.
• ◆Once overseas, Bill asks Dutch if he reckons the Pinkertons will follow them to Cuba, to which Dutch replies: "Like Colonel Waxman on a jolly?" This is a reference to the battle won recently at San Juan Hill, Guarma, which was led by former senator Thaddeus Waxman, who arrived at the island on a small boat often called a jollyboat.
• ◆Sadie Adler, Mary-Beth, Pearson, Swanson, Molly, Trelawny, and Jack are the only members of the gang who don't appear at the bank heist in Saint Denis, because Sean and Kieran die before said heist.
