Description

A lone desperado preying on travelers along the Heartland’s trails, this bandit is a desperate soul driven to robbery by poverty or greed. Armed with a worn revolver or knife, they strike from ambush, demanding coin or supplies. In RDR2’s style, these bandits are unpredictable—some can be reasoned with, others shoot first. Their tattered gear and haunted eyes hint at a hard life, making them as pitiable as they are dangerous.
