Follow our guide to find and photograph Emmet Granger, Billy Midnight, Black Belle, and a fourth mysterious gunslinger in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Alright, partner, let's tackle one of the stranger stranger missions in Red Dead Redemption 2: "The Noblest of Men, and a Woman." This one's a bit of a scavenger hunt for legendary gunslingers, and you'll need to track down four of them to complete it. We'll go through each one, starting with Emmet Granger.
Walkthrough
- 1Find Emmet Granger: He's chilling east of Flatneck Station, south of your Horseshoe Overlook camp in Chapter 2. If you've seen his poster, his location will be marked on your map. Just place a custom waypoint on it. When you get there, he'll be leaning against his pig pen fence. Chat him up, and he'll tell you some stories... after you help him out.
- 2Clean the Pigsty: Grab the pitchfork leaning against the fence, head into the pen, and pick up the four marked piles of poop. Toss 'em into the cart. Easy peasy.
- 3Dynamite and Duel: Emmet's not talking about Calloway yet, so naturally, you decide to use dynamite. Place it in the manure store (yeah, you read that right). After it blows, Emmet's not too pleased, and you'll have to duel him. This one's a bit different – he doesn't have a gun, just a knife he'll toss. Slowly press R2/RT to fill your meter, then let go to aim and press R2 again to fire. You've got plenty of time since he's not shooting back.
- 4Photograph Emmet: After you take down Emmet, you need a picture. Get close to his body, bring up the weapon wheel, and switch to your items. The camera should be on the eastern side. Equip it, hold L2/LT, and snap a pic of his face when you have a clear shot. One down, three to go!
- 5Find Billy Midnight: Head southwest to the town of Rhodes. Look for the train station. Talk to the clerk behind the desk and select the "Billy Midnight?" option. He'll tell you Billy's usually riding the trains.
- 6Board the Train: Luckily, a train will pull up shortly. Head outside onto the platform and hop aboard. Check the bar car, which is the furthest back of the three highlighted cars.
- 7Chase and Duel Billy: Find Billy at the bar, greet him, and he'll bolt. Chase him through the cars until you end up on top of one for a confrontation. This leads to another duel, but this time, Billy's got a gun. You need to be quick and shoot him before he shoots you.
- 8Photograph Billy: Just like with Emmet, once Billy's down, get close, access your items via the weapon wheel, equip the camera, and take a photo of him. Two down!
- 9Find Black Belle: Your next target is northeast of Rhodes, in a swampy area. Look for a lone shack. As you get close, Belle will appear and ask if you're a bounty hunter.
- 10Trap the Bounty Hunters: Some real bounty hunters will show up, and Belle will set a trap. Wait for her to say "set it off" and then press the button to detonate the explosive.
- 11Survive the Shootout: A big shootout ensues. Take cover and deal with the bounty hunters coming from the front and back. A carriage with a Gatling gun will show up – prioritize taking out the guy manning it. Use the carriage as bait if you can.
- 12Photograph Black Belle: Once everyone's down, Belle will leave. You can snap a picture of her before she rides off. She doesn't have a unique weapon, so don't worry about looting her. Three down!
- 13The Fourth Gunslinger: After you've dealt with Granger, Midnight, and Belle, you'll need to wait for a telegram. This will reveal the location of the fourth gunslinger, who is a bit more elusive. The details for this encounter will unlock once you've completed the previous steps.
Tips
- For Emmet's duel, don't rush your shot. Since he only throws knives, you have plenty of time to line up a clean shot.
- When dueling Billy Midnight on the train, be ready to draw immediately. He's quick, and you don't want to give him the advantage.
- During the Black Belle shootout, the Gatling gun is your biggest threat. Take it out as fast as possible to make the fight much easier.
- If you fail any of the duels, don't worry. You'll just restart at the checkpoint, right before the fight.
- Completing this mission chain rewards you with unique revolvers from Emmet Granger and Billy Midnight, and contributes to your overall progress in the game. You'll also get a photograph of each gunslinger.
