Yep but can’t move on the game sad thing 😢

​@@ctkelley27 me too

Terrible writing

@@gurpinderwarar4625 I Think he meant terrible writing on rockstar's part as there's no way to avoid contracting TB

​​@@somethingorother3405 But it's part of the narrative. I don't think Devin was referring to that cuz it makes him sound dumb tbh.

I've got almost 50% game completion and still in chapter 2 on this last play through.

I know right I've done this several times and doing it right now 😂

In Chapter 2 2/3 game mechanics (many deadeye abilities, horse fencer and sniper rifles) is disabled. Many weapons are not available. Arthur in the epilogue - that's we neeed!

​@@dhonbarger On 37.9% myself 🎉

@@user-ie5sz5qs5t Lol then find glitches to get the weapons you can't get yet like the Rolling Block rifle or Calloways Revolver. You can find a Semi auto shotgun at a elderly womens house, you can get the Lancaster repeater at the Rhodes gunshop if you encounter the kidnapped kid which you should. You can get so many guns early. I'm not worried about the deadeye ability I found my way around that for challenges that need it, the horse fence doesn't really matter unless you're in Chapter 3 and as I said look up glitches for the guns you can't get yet such as once again the Rolling Block Rifle which is honestly the best sniper and really the only sniper rifle you need.

What I hate even more is that I can't blow Micah's frigging skull off, it's Dutch that's killing him.

Yeah, the first time I played. I played the bad guy route. Because, I love playing as the bad guy. Get to the end, and Micah stabs Arthur in the chest. I've never played that game that way again.

@@sickby85 listen, se in the epilogue with john where dutch kills micah and the body will be there.

Yeah honestly that's what pissed off as put RDR2 the most Arthur contracts TB from Downes in chapter 2 and gets so bad in chapters 3-6 but Downes has had TB for years and is no where near as bad off as Arthur gets after having it less than a year. Rockstar pulled a dick move there. He can have TB, a slight cough at times, but bro he shouldn't that weak that fast. The PS5 version needs to make that an optional mission and have a story path where Arthur lives, one where he dies bc of the TB, and one where he dies bc of Micah killing him but no TB involved. I think that would be the best version of this game. Also support for non-gang related jobs like Bounty Hunter, Deputy, Sheriff, Stagecoach driver, and stuff similar to GTA V that allows you to make money legally would be great. Also having Arthur have a ranch where he raises horses would be great.

@@clarketownsend2145 I'm assuming TB is like every illness and affects everyone differently.

I once gave the camp 2 million dollars, I'm starting to wonder how much it costs to go to Tahiti.

@@aydenlokey3641 Must be more than buying the entire united states

​@@aydenlokey3641 It costs just one more score... One more big score...

​@@aydenlokey3641 prob above the game limits

😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣 Sadly, this is the limit of videogames with storyline... I wish they learn how to make storyline really change based on action (including also something like you said)

we all knew! problem is, in this case, reincarnation... no way of avoiding your destiny ser!

Nah, I let Micah rot in jail.

This is exactly what i did in my 2nd playtrough

@@gowrdrfan I respect that

i'm glad the pinkertons beat him to death at the end we don't get see it but charles tells john in prologue. its ridiculous all of the money sharking debts are for such little amounts.

I had like 40k by this time...WHY COULDN'T I JUST GO and live forever as arthur??

​@@hankscorpion how 40k

@@randallc23 lots of ways...loot respawns in most places, it's been awhile, but I had a route of places I would regularly go to between missions and collecting...it adds up.

@@randallc23 Had about the same when I decided to stay in chapter 2. Took a bit of grinding, but yeah^^ In Ambarino is the longest Tunnel in the game. When you enter and stop the train in there you can rob it and get no bounty. You can shoot the passengers after you robbed them, they usually hide stuff and you can loot them again, making nearly double the profit. Plus blowing safes, you get average 400-500$ per robbery (after selling looted stuff to fence), sometimes more, sometimes less. I usually set my camp near the tracks and just wait for trains coming by. It happens faster then you would think, especially when you move around the area, do stuff like hunting and now and then go near the tracks, this often triggers/spawns incoming trains. And if not just sleep. That way I rob like 3-4 trains in an hour and get several thousand dollars in short time. That plus finding and selling all gold bars, now and then rob and sell a wagon to the fence in between, you will get 40k after a while and more :D

My thoughts exactly! Whoever allowed this crap in this game is one sick sadistic human being!

It's just how the story is supposed to roll. I understand that people don't want Arthur dying, but you don't get to live a bad life and have good things happen to you.

@@Qaw3n it's not even the dying part that gets me. It's the guaranteed slow death with your body falling apart around you that irritates me so much. Adleast in rdr1, John was health right to the end. That said, I still think his death was bullshit too

@@Qaw3n Plenty of people have done horrible things and go onto live great fulfilling lives. Life isn’t a fucking fairy tale. Horrible things happen and go unpunished all the time. That’s just reality.

@@macree01 it's a quote from the game. don't take it so serious 😂

@@ilikepiga9714 At least someone gets it haha

I just started playing thia game and the secong i met Micah, I freaking hated him. Then recently I had to go save him from jail. Do you how many times I died fighting off the people and then pay up a big bounty for me? I was so pissed. I had like $300 and paid off almost $200 for my bounty. If I could, I'd like to take a ride with Micah and "talk" to him. Come back and tell the group we encountered some bad folks on the road and didn't have time to "save" him lol.

There’s a part in Rhodes where I destroy Micah repeatedly. I always have to start the mission over…totally worth it. 😂

Dutch never goes to tahiti.

With Mary, fuck Dutch, he's an idiot.

The game puts me back into the exact situation I’m constantly trying to escape by playing that game.

@@ProfGoodlife just swallow a bullet. Painless and easy

I agree! That's what I keep saying everytime I get back to camp. I call them lazy bums lol. He's already doing so much going out there, hunting and collecting debts to provide for his camp that they can't even do chores?? Arthur already has alot on his plate, I'm pretty sure these ladies sitting around can handle a bucket of water and some hay for the horses.

I agree, since Micah is one of the newer members of the gang, stuff like that should be put on the noobs.

Lol, some aren’t that lazy, if you stay away from the camp long enough then one will eventually ride out to find you so you can come back to camp. Might be running low on something. =P

It doesn't affect everyone, but those who did get it, it was a death sentence back then. Doc Holiday's wife lived to around 90 even tho he died of TB and already had it before he met her. His best friend Wyatt Earp didn't catch it either

It never happened to me either until last week on this playthrough

I never get it with Marys letter but Im *always* forced to do it at some point in CH2. Next playthrough I will do the ride away trick so I can postpone it at least

Happened tp me tge other day after downloading the game again after 3 years.

Yeah same I did Mary's mission before and have never been trapped

@@Sketchy_Outlaw Sadly, you have to. Besides, he isn't a rat at this point, just an arrogant pile of crap.

Indeed he does. It is actually Thomas Downes who breaks up the fight that Arthur gets into in Valentine in one of the earlier missions. So even before the debt collection mission, Arthur has already potentially been exposed. I'm not sure he could catch TB that way, but it's curious that it's already part of the story.

Didnt happen

Does Arthur cough now?

@@kistatra3645 I’m still on chapter 4. Think it’s chapter 6 he starts coughing

After a certain point doesn't it no longer allow you progress through the game without heading to Downes?

@@BigPolskiMan I never went to Downes, and I thought I was gonna avoiding getting sick, but as soon as I hit Saint Denis in Chapter 6, the cut scene started in which Arthur goes to the doctor; he gets it no matter what.

So i guess rockstar will give arthur TB anyways.

@@vincebarber6933 Because this is a glitch to skip or cancel the mission... that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Downes coughs on you after the fight with the big guy in the salon in the beginning of the game.

same I thought he got it in sanidines.

I realized it after doing a second playthrough and doing research on how TB is spread

Often wondered if putting up your mask would help but im guessing he probably takes it down in the cut scene. Keep in mind ive not tried this myself but I'm sure someone has.

@@clintmcdowell7259 nope people have tried it and it doesn’t work unfortunately lol

Crazy how we all know the heartache that awaits yet we come back anyway.

I freed Micah after all, visited Mary, did all the missions that were available without visiting downes. But John is missing again !! Nowhere to be found. So it's like I traded Micah, for John !!! I can live with that. Knowing what John will do in rdr1 to Javier.

Why that mission is cool

@@VerseY_ You think that's cool??

@@ExplorerDS6789 well the overall mission is nice. Also the part where Michael and Dave are talking about what really happened in North Yankton is interesting

It's too late anyway downes coughed on you in the salon fight in the beginning of the game

@@bodhi6769 oh...damn....not again......

does this still works??

Hmmmmmmmmph

Reverend Swanson glitch. Do everything you can (Bandit 6, herbalist 9 and everything else up to 10 apart from gambler which should be to 9) then do the mission. Complete the mission as usual but make sure you complete gambler 10 during the mission. After completing it, you should get your outfit.

And just stay 6 feet apart.

@@pickeljarsforhillary102 Na That was Covid.

Aurther should have gotten his 87th booster and he would have been ok😊

​@@patriot82 then he would have had congestive heart failure

He gets TB from the bar fight, Thomas coughed on him after intervening. Sadly can't wear a mask then

that mission unlocks the emerald ranch fence, the other fences are available at the start of chapter 2

@JasonLee-ow3ur oh yes? Thank you didn't knew

Stop being leszb Be a girl

There is, don't do the mission

Terrible writing right

L name and pfp

Imagine taking this such a video too literally xd

Strauss walked up.... and said he had died? So he was a ghost?

@@Del_S oh..no i did not mean Straus had died i meant to say Thomas had died before i could go make the cut scene happen where i intimidate Thomas

@@MrZomg17 Oh, right, that's less spooky. But still, seems like your game decided to go quite glitchy

@@Del_S do you have twitter? I will show you a picture of something i found on my Red Dead map both on story mode and online

They're fantastic!

It does not matter if you ever come in contact with Thomas Downes or not. Regardless of how you play the game, there is only one certainty. Arthur will die at the end of Chapter 6. There is no way to avoid this if you intend to complete the game past the epilogue. You can play the game for many countless hours as Arthur and do everything possible to prolong the inevitable, but if you avoid the ending of chapter 6, then you miss out on the rest of story as John, and the world that is opened up for you as a player in the New Austin side of the map. Or you can just be adamant about it and see if you can explore the entire map as Arthur, collect all the legendary pelts from all regions, catch all the legendary fish, pick all the necessary herbs and much more. This will increase your longevity as Arthur by far if you are able to pull it all off. Even if you can, you will never be able to complete the game until Arthur is long gone.
