The Outlaw\'s Return

Follow our step-by-step guide to complete 'The Outlaw's Return' mission in Red Dead Redemption, including tips for handling cattle and fending off rustlers.

Alright, let's get this mission, 'The Outlaw's Return,' wrapped up. You'll start by warping to the 'A' on your map, which puts you right outside your home with your wife and son. After a touching cutscene, it's time to get your horse and pick up your son by the barn.

Once you're mounted up, ride out. You'll meet up with a familiar face and finally keep that promise to buy some of the MacFarlane's cattle. After that, hook up with Bonnie and head to the back of the herd. Your job is to get them moving out of the pen and towards the yellow dot on your map – that's your destination.

Now, you know how cattle can be. A few will inevitably try to make a break for it, so keep a sharp eye on the whole herd. You'll need to quickly guide any strays back in line. Keep pushing forward until you run into a group of rustlers. You'll need to deal with them quickly by filling them full of lead before they can make off with your cattle.

You'll have to fend off two waves of these rustlers. Once they're dealt with, you can continue on with Jack until you finally reach home. Your last task is to get the herd into the pen and then tie up your horse. That's the mission done!
