Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed.

After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.

Built from the ground up for the latest hardware, Red Dead Online blends the classic multiplayer of the original Red Dead Redemption with the best of everything we have learned since then about creating deep multiplayer experiences. The result is something completely new and fun, and an experience that will continue to expand and evolve over time as we gain valuable feedback from our community in the Beta period.

Legendary Bounty: Cecil C. Tucker

A mere twenty years old, Cecil C. Tucker is a known arsonist and murderer wanted for burning down homes in the slums of St. Denis. Since going on the lam, Tucker has aligned himself with local ne'er-do-wells in the Lemoyne Raiders and has been sighted entering Fort Brennand, north of St. Denis. 

Licensed Bounty Hunters can take on this Legendary Bounty Mission by approaching the nearest Bounty Board, indicated on the map. A short while after completing a Legendary Bounty, it will reappear to be played at an increased difficulty - indicated by the number of stars present on the poster.
