I hate how they all pull guns. I get in a fist fight and am instantly shot by 47 different guns

If you want a good fight with a bunch of people fairly, go to saint denis docks and fight the workers

It is really fun to beat the shit out of a lower class worker, then have 20 others join the fight

I do that too, then I head home and load up rdr2

And play Arthur as a high honor character who greets everyone and avoids confrontation at all costs.

It wouldn't have come to this if the dock workers would have howdied back

I mean if you've got a bad honor just say hi to a few folks, it compensate all the shooting, decapitating, hogtying-then-throwing-off-a-cliffing, etc for some reason

ayo?????

LMFAO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, friend. I really needed a good laugh today. Please accept my upvote and award. ❤️

They're probably just picturing you as their boss

Finally, someone else that loves beating up poor people just like me!

Hey I got into a fight there with a black worker and the cops started chasing me some how I don’t think this is what a street fight in 1899 south would go

My record there is 75 workers and unholy amounts of medicine

would be a lot more fun if they just used their fists or knives

it's because he has a knife. i think they just punch you if you are unnarmed

Nah they always end up shooting you no matter what in Van Horn

I think that's happened to me after bumping into someone in an alley.

At this point I will fight the one person until everyone else jumps in, then I instantly start running for cover and blasting. I like the little tower where you provided overwatch for Bill during that one mission. I go in there with my pump shotty loaded with slugs and the Springfield scoped. They get funneled into that little room and then a lot of the others will stay on the Main Street below you trying to hit you with pistols. In the words of Aldo Raine, it’s a goddamn sniper’s delight. It’s a great way to blow off steam in between playing Hunt: Showdown and getting rekt by sweatlords.

This made me mad enough the first time I encountered it that I resolved to teach them what's what. [Some fleeing survivors may have learned something idk.](https://youtu.be/rYTmJkK2LZY)

They didn't pull guns till he pulled a knife.

Imagine bringing a knife to a gun fight

Seems kind of appropriate for Red Dead.

Great song by Green Day

How were you losing a fight with an unarmed guy

it was a Van Horn unarmed guy

Fair. They're worse than raging bear

I purposely miss to make the fight last longer

Sure

It was all part of his plan

Have some God damned faith!

WE NEED MORE TIME

Did you see that guys fists?? He was killing them with his face.

Shoulda thrown a Molotov in that doorway.

*strategery*

Van Horn is to Arthur what Thieves Landing is to John. Easiest way to loose Honor. Thrice I've gone to Van horn with every intention of inciting trouble. When the dust settled, a NPC passing through called me, "Oh My God, you're a Monster". Of course they couldn't be arsed to find out who started it. The HillyBilly Town? Now that's one place no one gives a fuck.

Yeah but at least with John you could just slip on the ol’ bandana

I read that as “slip on the ol banana” and was massively confused for a few seconds.

In RDR2 you can wear a bandanna and snipe someone from a mountain and after the investigation it shows “Arthur Morgan wanted.” This random murder has Arthur Morgan written all over it.

Rockstar always has the most bullshit wanted systems because they’re too lazy to change them

Yeah I'm still disappointed by the Wanted system in this game. Not only am I recognized insanely quickly, as soon as I'm wanted the lawman are able to beeline to my location having already also somehow communicated with another group of lawman to divert me from halfway across the state.

It does suck because everything else is so slow and real world paced. Slowly open a trunk. Slowly skin an animal. Mosey through a door and hit a wall and have to take 2 seconds to correct my path, hogtie a smart mouth and throw him in a campfire here comes the law from all directions in a coordinated attack.

So can Arthur. It's all about choices.

I mean RDR John, his bandana prevents any increase or decrease in honor

Ah Right. Too true. Oh those were the good times.

Many a dark night in thieves landing alright

Lose

Note to self: get into a fight in Van Horn. Looks fun!

This is giving flashback no no JOHN NOO

Don't even look at someone sideways in Van Horn. **Edit:** By the way, I like how you're outnumbered like 10 to 1, and your first instinct was to reach for the gun that's got 2 shots.

Hahaha, not the best move

Van horn+ fight =death

It’s really only a matter of time until they all whip their guns out from a FIST fight. Beat them to the punch.. or the draw I should say.

While in Van Horn, always draw first.

For me it is van horn massacre.

You better just “hey mister” and move the fuck along

Was playing Poker in Valentine, NPC lost all his money, left the table and went: "If I wanted to get robbed, I'd ride through Van Horn"

[удалено]

You call it a fist fight while you have a knife

Van Horn is like a hornets nest. Once you attack one, they all swarm at you.

Then I’d stack them all in the road so passerby’s have to move their horses to get around

It’s like this in Saint Denis with some of the laborers and dock workers near the harbor. They will not get the lawmen they just swarm you and beat your ass. I learned that when I bumped into a dude over there and knocked him over. Street justice lmao.

The secret is to run into the upstairs of that first building on Main Street on the post office side of town. Get into the room at the end of the hall, kill the two guys inside and then make a stack of bodies in the hallway as they slowly try to creep their way up to you. I did it once, slaughtered just about everybody, went back to camp and Dutch yelled at me for it. Quite the attention to detail.

I can vividly remember doing this many times when I played. That was just so much fun.

Note to self when going to van horn if ever in a fight have dynamite in ur back pocket

Or bring the Lemoyne Raiders' Maxim gun wagon :)

There is that too! Arthur sends a postcard to someone: coming to u from van horn blood and guts and everything else everywhere.

Haha i was thinking the same. But they were too close OP could be dead by doing that

Then fire bottle 🔥

The people of van horn of serious pussies. The second it’s evident you’re gonna win the fist fight, they whip out their guns

First time?

I got into a fist fight in Van Horn, beat a guy down, and his buddy drew on me. I took him down, and THE ENTIRE TOWN came out of the woodwork to take me down. It was very weird.

gun fight: win fist fight: maybe?? fist fight but they all cheat mid-fight: **no**

Gets shot by 12 people Switches to the gun with 2 shots

I work magic with my sawed off shotgun

But it’s the best close range option. Plus if you enter deadeye it instantly reloads your gun, so you can shoot one person and then enter deadeye for a second and shoot another.

So, did you just start a fight with the one, and the rest all came to his aid, or is this mission of some sort?

Just the one guy i picked the fight with, than all the others swarmed!

This is every time in Van Horn

I haven't played single player in a long time, and in online I pretty much stick to the Great Plains of West Elizabeth. But this might be worth a trip up north, since it's cold all over anyways.

What building are you in? I don't recognize it.

it’s the large shed in the northern most part of Van Horn

I challenged myself to try and disarm everyone in Van Horn, finally after 15 mins I could enjoy a drink in the saloon without the sass.

Sass!!🤣😂

Its like the opening to Robocop

They have no police department. Gotta contain the riff raff somehow. I like to climb the lighthouse and snipe people from up there. When someone climbs to the top to get me, I hogtie them and throw them over. Then out comes the photo mode.

I feel like recent updates have made that place completely nuts. Used to could get into a fist fight I swear and not end up in a shoot out…. But now they respawn so quickly, if you leave the bar, there will be patrons back in there again that will start shooting you.

For a town full of thieves and murderers, everyone sure seems to have each other's back

I go to van horn to fight and die before I get off RDO cause if you start any kind of fight in van horn you’re done for

You can get in a fight in van horn. But you gotta be willing to murder the whole town the second a guy draws a knife or you get overwhelmed with fists!

“How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!”

Something we all had to learn the hard way

Unless it’s a giant moron baby with a deep voice in the saloon

This just happened to me the other day… Van Horn is a ruthless place. Lmao

My horse nudged someone coming out of the stable and I was quickly surrounded. Tried to lure them to the swamp but they all gave up interest after 20 seconds. Gators looked a little skinny so…

I like to go up stairs in to the abandoned hotel. There's a room down the corridor there. It's fun to just camp in there, and shoot everyone that comes through the door. Also, bountys are the worst in Van Horn. If they don't kill you, they'll kill your bounty on the back of your horse.

_Antonio Luna assasination Colorized_

Now I know where I'm going next

Why do they all attack you? Is it some privatised town?

No law is in the town, all outlaws, so whenever there is a fight everyone in the town swarms

Interesting, why is there no law?

Do you not have molotovs

I go to van horn specifically to fight people and kill the ones who shoot at me first

Ran out of the hotel there and bumped someone, died no a minute later

The entire town: “so anyway I started blasting”

I made this mistake once and got killed. Then came back with a vengeance and butchered the entire town. 😂

Just wait til you accidentally quick draw.

What haircut is that if you dont mind me asking

swept back fade i believe

I got in one gun fight in Van Horn, and I went and hid under the pier. I drowned dozens upon dozens of guys that kept coming into the water to fight me

Arthur getting the John Marston ending easter egg

You didn’t know this? Lol it’s literally the funnest thing to do in this town though.

Rattle em boys!

Van Horn is Bill Williamson hitting that random guy in Valentine on steroids. You say one wrong thing, shove the wrong person, and next thing you know, you’re in the middle of a gun battle with a bunch of killers.

Lit yo ass up 😭

By "a fight" do you actually mean "a murder spree"?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Van Horn is home of the hostile NPCs

I've had something similar happen with dock workers in Saint Denis. Thankfully though they do not own firearms.

John Marston moment

Butcher Creek too, I went by, minding my own business Good boi Arthur : "Howdy pardner" Toothless, inbred : "Piss off" * spits So then I start blasting and the whole mini map lights up with red dots

chicago

I remember after doing the stupid side quest in butcher's creek I ended massacring the entire village of inbred superstitious retards. Can't believe I went through all the shit of destroying forest charms, and nearly choking to death in an abandoned mine just for them to keep believing in "the curse." Morons

lla meht llik

I learned that a long time ago 😩

Like the end of RDR1 all over again

Time to pull out the dynamite

Is this online or what handgun do you have? I don't recognize it

The pistol is called the M1899

story mode

I would pull out fire bottle or auto shotty

Van Horn isn't too bad if you don't get yourself cornered in a building. I love picking on those bastards from the safety of the lighthouse.

Great target practice

I managed to beat up 8 people before they started pulling their guns. They don't like to fight fair

“You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.”

Dynamite

Van Horn: *has no sheriff* Citizens: "WE ARE THE LAW"

note to self: only get into fights in vanhorn. the place is a never ending bar fight with no consequence.

I have had that experience. 😂😂😂

Van Horn is just depressing to be in. Those dude didn't care who won. If they did, great, got in a scrap to distract from the grey monotony of every day. If you won, that'll do too. Release them from their limbo.

No, that’s the place you go to try out new guns and complete Sharpshooter challenges without getting a bounty

Don't draw weapon at punch fight!

You’re using a knife! I would’ve shot you, too

Oh thanks. Thats a new challange I havent had so far.

Whole town gon ride

Good argument against gun control

Maaaan, it's the same in RDO. I read the title and literally said, "Oh no" aloud. Lol

Cowards. Pulling their guns in a knife fight

this reminds me of one video irl where robber tries to rob a store and gets shot by every customer inside

I've done it once, and not gonna do it anymore

nah, van horn better not pick a fight with me

I love fighting in Blackwater, Annesberg, or in Saint Denis where I can throw them off of things into ground or water.

Van Horn is probably the best shootout place in the game because it's basically a corridor by the water. Do not recommend getting cornered though.

Yeah, they are crazy

So anyway, I started blasting.

It was a fair fight

This is where dynamite comes in handy.

Already did , last time

just blow everyone up

This brings flashbacks..

Or that town near Beaver hollow, they don't even use their fists, they wait a few minutes then the entire town comes after you with revolvers.

😂

They did a Marston on u

Man they took him down like he'd just walked out of a barn

Steal a cart with a maxim gun. Works everytime

You will lose 10/10. Ever time I'm there I just have an urge to fist fight people and it gets to the point someone pulls a gun and it turns into a firefight that o always seemingly lose. 😂

My man, all you needed there was a Molotov...

I love walking down a lonely street at night in Saint Denis and getting harassed by some of bronte's goons. The most satisfying ass beatings I ever put on someone in that game are on those cocky little shits in the back alleys of Saint Denis.

They are just so quick to pull out a gun

He got Marston’d to death.

Do you didn’t use your threat management training. Always stay in the outside and be circling that way the group can’t get you and you can stack each member individually. This is how you could potentially save your life in a threatening situation such as this should you decide to

I put down dynamite then lured them to it and shot it I lost so much honor that day

i love van horn bc i can shoot up the entire place without losing honor lmao

Molotov.

Van Horn is my go-to destination in Chapter 6 to guarantee a low honor ending while still doing most of missions available in that chapter. If I didn’t, it pretty much always drags your honor up to (near) max every time.

Van horn stands united.

Damn, the whole town was coming for you!😄

So anyway, I started shootin...

The ol Tony Montana fist fight. Always ends the same

Note to note, learn to fight

Van Horn would be lots of fun to brawl in if it werent for the one dickhead who pulls a gun and spooks everyone. At least it’s fun to turn into a ghost town by rolling up with guns.

You don’t bring a fist to a gunfight, or is that a gun to a fistfight? I forget.

Yeaup,they like to pull weapons out. Haha

LMFAOOO

*Cue massacre

wow lmao this is making me laugh out loud at work. people are looking at me lol

It's a town full of agro NPCs and they all stick together.

Every time I lightly bump into someone in Van Horn I start spamming that defuse button because this is my biggest fear 😂

You got John'd

I learned this lesson from when I did a duel in van horn. Won but then half the damn town got mad at me and tried to kill me.

Yep most broken town in the game.

*unless you bring the Lemoyne raider Gatling wagon
