Camp Events are conversations, interactions, or special occasions that occur within the Van der Linde gang's camps as well as in Beecher's Hope in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Camp events may vary in frequency and occasion, with some being exclusive to certain camps, while others may repeat themselves throughout the story. Some interactions are very rare, and difficult to initiate. Much of the dialogue in camp interaction differs depending on how close the player is to them, causing those talking to respond differently. Sometimes, the player is asked for their input, in which they can press "greet" or "antagonize." to respond.

Additionally, certain characters will not be available to trigger their respectable camp events if they're needed for a story mission.

Colter Chapter

Being the shortest chapter in Red Dead Redemption 2, Colter has a limited amount of interactions. Events and conversations can only be triggered after completing "Enter, Pursued by a Memory," when the player is given the ability to roam around Colter. If the player wishes to discover all interactions, they must do so before completing either "Old Friends" or "The Aftermath of Genesis," depending on which mission the player completes last.

List of Events

• As Arthur Morgan exits his room after completing "Enter, Pursued by a Memory," he will see Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthews in the cabin's common room, beside the fireplace. They are talking about their situation and what to do next. Dutch feels Hosea doubts him, but Hosea reassures him that he's only worried. If Arthur is nearby, Dutch would ask for his opinion, and ask him if he doubts him like he feels Hosea does, to which Arthur will say he does not doubt Dutch.
• If the player enters the main cabin of Colter, they will immediately hear a cacophony of conversations, the first of which is Sadie Adler, who is beside most of the women, sobbing over the loss of her husband, with Mary-Beth Gaskill comforting her. If Arthur is nearby, Mary-Beth will assure him that Sadie will be alright, and he will agree. Afterwards, he can offer Sadie some food, but she declines and say she's not hungry.
• Shortly thereafter, Susan Grimshaw gives a motivational speech to the people inside the cabin, telling everyone to stay warm and that they will be off the mountains in a few days. She also tells everyone that the gang must stick together. Tilly Jackson hopes she's right. Grimshaw asks Arthur for his opinion, and he agrees.
• By the benches, Orville Swanson reads out loud Isaiah 40:20-31 from his Bible. When he finishes the verses, Karen Jones asks him what he means, and he says he has no idea, but it gives him comfort.
• Near the end of the cabin, Abigail Marston is seen yelling at the bedridden John Marston for getting himself injured by wolves, and that he's always getting himself into trouble. John tells her that he has certainly made his mistakes, which Abigail gets offended by, and tells him that he's annoying and that he should just rest.
• In another conversation, Arthur can tease John for still being in bed, and John gets annoyed by asking him if he has anything better to do. Mary-Beth then quiets them both by saying now isn't the time for their "beef."
• Back inside Arthur and Dutch's cabin, Arthur can find him and Hosea sitting beside the fireplace once more. Dutch asks Hosea to send someone "sensible" to bury Sadie's husband. Arthur can tell Hosea that his body is in a wagon in front of the house, and Hosea will assure him that he will send someone. Arthur can tell Dutch he made a good call, and Dutch tells him it's the least they could do for Sadie. Arthur then jokes about Micah Bell being the one to do it, but quickly changes his mind.
• Arthur may also see Dutch and Hosea arguing loudly over what their next course of action should be. Dutch icily tells Hosea that he was the one with the death wish. Hosea reminds Dutch of the Pinkertons and bounty hunters on their tails, which Dutch responds to by saying that none of them would be crazy enough to follow them in this storm. He tells Hosea that the plan was to lie low, make some money and then escape from the country. Hosea asks him where they would escape to, which Dutch admits he hasn't got yet. However, he loudly tells Hosea that they weren't done yet.
• If the player completes the "Old Friends" mission before "The Aftermath of Genesis," they can find Kieran Duffy tied up in the stables. When Kieran notices Arthur, he tries to scare him by telling that O'Driscolls will go looking for him, only to discover that his group wasn't the first to be killed by the Van der Linde gang.^[1] If the player exits the stables and then returns, Kieran will ask when he will be released, but will get only more taunting.

Availability

• Bill Williamson, Javier Escuella, Charles Smith, and Simon Pearson have no camp events in this chapter.

Horseshoe Overlook Chapter

With the unlocking of the second chapter of the game, the player is also given access to free-roam. This not only allows the player to explore the map at their own pace, but also roam the gang's new camp in Horseshoe Overlook. Countless events are unlocked, including campfire conversations often spoken at night. Much of these conversations reflect the relief of being out of the Grizzlies West and into The Heartlands, an area with a lot of potential. Camp events in Horseshoe Overlook cannot be triggered after completing "A Strange Kindness."

List of Events

• Sadie teases food to Kieran Duffy while he's tied to a tree, before she dumps it to the ground in front of him as a metaphor to her husband being left in the dirt. If Arthur witnesses the interaction, he will laugh.
• Dutch happily walks up to Arthur telling him that for the first time, nothing is happening, that they're free.
• John reads a book under a tree by the cliff before being bothered by Abigail Roberts, who tells him to rest after nearly being eaten by wolves, but John tells her that being under the sun is good for him, only talking isn't good for him. Abigail marches off angrily. Arthur teasingly agrees that he should rest, much to John's annoyance of him eavesdropping.
• Hosea checks up on John by the tree. John says he's better, but not quite, and Hosea understands how he feels, and to give it a few days. Hosea assures John that the gang has been through tough situations before, but John doubts that it was ever as bad as this. If Arthur is nearby, John will ask him if they're doomed, and Arthur tells him they're all doomed, it's just a matter of when, much to John's disappointment. Hosea then assures John that if they stay hidden, it will pass, and that he liked the "old ways" better. John agrees with the latter statement. After the conversation, Arthur tells John that they'd be less doomed if he pitched in and did some work, but John reminds him that he nearly died.

• Karen teases Kieran saying that she thought O'Driscolls eat babies, but he looks like a baby. Kieran insists that he is a baby and that he's not an O'Driscoll. He then asks her for a glass of water, and Karen tells him no before throwing her cigarette at him. Right after, Mary-Beth offers him some water, and he thanks her kindly. Mary-Beth insists to him that Karen is actually nice, to which he takes her word for it.
• Kieran requests Tilly for some water, and she obliges, saying that it's his lot. He then asks her for a blanket and a dry pair of boots, to which Tilly sarcastically asks him for a bottle of champaign with it.
• Sometimes if Arthur walks near Kieran, he will ask Arthur about the "ransom money", and say how hungry he is.
• Susan confronts Tilly for not doing anything and grabs Tilly by the ear. Tilly says she doesn’t feel right but Susan says she doesn’t care and yells at her to get ready and Tilly fearfully leaves. If Arthur is present she will say the girls are like princesses in fairy tales and Arthur says they must’ve found their fairy godmother.

• Swanson walks up to Arthur in multiple different occasions, such as thanking Arthur for rescuing him, and how doomed the gang is.
• As Javier is genuflecting in prayer behind a barrel, Swanson approaches him and tells him "it's not too late to repent, my Mexican friend." Javier responds that "in that case, I'm sure there's priests who will happily take your confession," before making the Sign of the Cross. Swanson tells him, "You're doomed," before laughing. If Arthur is nearby, Swanson looks at him and says of Javier, "He's doomed," to which Arthur replies, "We're all doomed, Reverend." Swanson then walks away with an "I don't get it" look on his face, while Javier gives Arthur a thumb-up before returning to his prayer.
• Bill, in multiple occasions, attempts to take money out of donation box before stopping himself.
• Hosea walks up to John to ask what he will do next. John asks what he means, but Hosea only waves his hand in frustration and storms off.
• After Hosea coughs, he joins John at the table by his tent to tell him that Jack Marston is his business, and that he, Abigail, and Jack should just run away. John tells him that they both know that wasn't going to happen. If Arthur is nearby, Hosea will ask him if the gang is a place to raise Jack, to which Arthur says it's better than how he grew up, much to Hosea's disappointment, as well as John not listening to him.
• Molly checks up on Tilly working, who asks Molly if she could lend a hand. Molly says she would love to, but she's in love. Tilly then tells her to help or clear out. If Arthur gets too close, Molly will tell Arthur the conversation is private.
• Dutch meets up with Molly at the coverings east of camp, and asks her what he should compare her to. If Arthur is nearby, Dutch will ask Arthur, and Arthur responds with "an idiot... if you believe his crap", and then teasingly tells Molly to compare Dutch to that.

Karen will say that he's only teasing and that the boys only act tough.
• Near Pearson's cooking pot, Bill holds Kieran down with the pair of tongs from "Paying a Social Call", threatening him with them before letting him go.
• As Kieran brushes one of the horses, Jack throws rocks at him, and Kieran asks him to stop. When Abigail asks Jack what he's doing, he says he's throwing rocks at the O'Driscoll. When asked why, he says that he was doing so because Kieran is an O'Driscoll and Abigail always said they were bad. Abigail stops him, and tells him to leave the rock throwing to the grown-ups. Arthur can tell Jack nice throw.
• While siting at the campfire, Hosea tells a story to Bill and others about how he unintentionally walked into a wake during a would-be home robbery and weaseled his way out of trouble by pretending to be the deceased's best friend who the family never met.
• Behind John's tent, Sean MacGuire starts to flirt with Karen, asking if she missed him. First she teases him of how she cried like a baby every night, but then she angrily tells Sean that she missed Davey Callander, Mac Callander, and Jenny Kirk over him. Afterwards, Sean continues to flirt, much to Karen's discomfort, and when Sean tries to hold her, Karen smacks him, and threatens to put a knife in him if he touches her again. Sean happily tells her that he loves when she talks nasty to him.

• Sean approaches Molly, who is sitting on a log, and comments on how they had both come a long way from home, which Molly agrees with. Sean asks what Molly thinks about him, to which Molly responds by saying that she didn't have much opinion on him. Sean then teases her by saying that she did, and he could see it when she looked at him through her stick-up eyes. He then walks away laughing.
• As Abigail sweeps John's tent, she tells John that she and him is one thing, but he should at least try to make an effort with Jack. John tells her that if it shuts her up, he'll try, but fathering isn't something he knows about. Abigail tells him to just not act like a selfish bloodthirsty moron. John believes she meant lie to him, but Abigail just tells him to shut up.
• As John brushes Old Boy near the cooking fire at the East of camp, Abigail calls out for John's attention, which leads to John responding with an attitude. This results in Abigail calling him a miserable scotch sack of shit, and slapping him in the face.
• By a tree near Pearson's wagon at the West end of camp, Abigail attempts to convince John to act like some kind of father to Jack, but John explains that she and Jack deserves so much better than he can manage, and that he doesn't know about fathering. Abigail tells him that all he needs to do is do the exact opposite of what he has been doing, and then he'd raise a man. After John mocks Abigail's choice of words, she slaps him before marching away. If Arthur stands too close, Abigail and John will ask him for privacy.

To which, Dutch responds that they live free.
• Dutch approaches John at the Dominoes table who's reading a book, and Dutch mentions to John his bad luck. John wonders if the events of Blackwater were really bad luck, or just him and Micah acting crazy. Dutch tells John that Blackwater was about surviving, but John tells him not for "that girl". If Arthur is nearby, John tells him to tell Dutch to wake up, that he lost something. Arthur does not respond.
• As Kieran tends to one of the horses, Javier tells him that once an O'Driscoll, always an O'Driscoll.

• Hosea asks Dutch what the plan is. Seemingly in a bad mood, Dutch replies that, despite being willing to sacrifice himself to save the gang, now he wishes that all the doubters would just leave him alone. If Arthur is nearby, Dutch also assures him that he will get them out of this.

• Sitting by the fire with other gang members, Tilly admits that sometimes she can’t stand the company of the other girls, even though she loves them.

• Tilly asks Mary-Beth what she’s reading. Mary-Beth becomes defensive, saying it’s a romance and that she knows she and Karen make fun of her for reading this stuff. Tilly then confesses that while this is true, it doesn’t stop them from reading it themselves. She thinks romances make you feel happy, even though they also make you feel sad and silly, which Mary-Beth enthusiastically agrees with. In the end, Mary-Beth promises to lend Tilly the book later, but making sure Karen won’t find out.
• Molly offers Dutch to go for a walk together, but he is reluctant.
• Mary-Beth asks Arthur what's on his mind. He feels that the time of outlaws is past, but it’s too late for them to change, so the only thing left is to wait before finally answering for their sins. Mary-Beth reaches out to comfort him and says that he’s the only man in the camp who understands how lost he truly is.
• Karen can also offer Arthur a seat and a chance to discuss his feelings. Depending on the player’s actions, Arthur may admit to committing various crimes that bother him.

Abigail decides to be honest and says that her life will be full of suffering, sending Sadie into another fit of sobbing. And yet, as Abigail firmly believes, she has to live on. She thinks that, for now, Sadie should stay in camp until she clears her head enough to choose the next step.
• Karen joins Susan at the camp table and, after asking how her meal is, recalls how, back in Colter, she had thought about eating Susan. She even goes as far as describing dishes they could cook, as she and Pearson couldn't decide which one would be better. Eventually, Ms. Grimshaw becomes uncomfortable enough to just leave the table.
• Susan joins the other gang members by the campfire and says that everything is going to be alright. She is certain that Dutch will pull them through, and she has never doubted it. Bill agrees with her, after which Susan adds that Dutch is an ideal American.

• Karen and Mary-Beth discuss their visit to Valentine, agreeing that it's not the most romantic place.

Hosea tells the locals that they were travellers and, when asked why Arthur looked the way he looked, lies that he had been dropped on his head as a child. The two then enquire whether they need any help, which Hosea denies. After talking with them for a little, Hosea makes a veiled threat to them, prompting the two to go away. Arthur may subsequently ask John whether he thinks they'll be trouble, which John denies as he thinks it was all just bluster.
• Abigail checks up on Hosea by the campfire after he coughs, and tells him that he's been like a father to her.

When Hosea coughs mid-conversation either Swanson or Lenny pat his back.
• Abigail speaks to Hosea at her tent about how scared she is about the Pinkertons and Bounty Hunters going after the gang, and asks Hosea for advice. He advises her to take Jack and "make plans".

• Later, Lenny will try to get Sean to learn how to read again, and he will tell Lenny to stop troubling him and that he had almost gotten it anyway.

He tells Sean he won't give up on him, to which Sean replies by requesting Lenny to give up on him.
• As Javier donates to the camp funds, Uncle checks up on Javier, and Javier just invites him for a drink.

Charles would say, except for Kieran, to which John would find amusing.

After Sean got insulted after that remark, Hosea teases him, and offers him a bottle. After Hosea toasts to his friends, he requests Karen to sing a song. After she drinks, she begins singing "Dance by the Light of the Moon". Afterwards, Arthur comments on Hosea's good mood, and he tells him that he won big at cards, meaning he cheated. Arthur tells him that there's still alot of life in him.
• After the events of "Blessed are the Peacemakers", Dutch would tell Arthur to meet with Bill, Sean, and Micah at Rhodes to meet with the Greys if he was up to it, and then apologizes for the ambush that Colm caught Arthur in. Dutch explains to Arthur, that he and Micah waited to get jumped, but the O'Driscolls just left; and they thought they'd meet with Arthur on the way back to camp, but he never showed up. At another time, Micah would sincerely apologize to Arthur after he got kidnapped, since he thought he and Dutch would get jumped, not Arthur; Micah would explain what happened after the same way Dutch did.

Shady Belle Chapter

The fourth chapter of the story moves the Van der Linde gang to the swamps just outside Saint Denis. Tension is rising as the gang is closer to civilization than they have ever been before, and the overall environment of their new home at Shady Belle is rather unwelcoming. This can be seen in many camp events throughout the chapter, where gang member such as Simon Pearson voice their concerns. Camp events in Shady Belle can be unlocked after completing "The Battle of Shady Belle," but cannot be triggered after completing "Banking, the Old American Art."

List of Events

• At the gazebo, Swanson would cry out that he saw ghosts in the swamp, a young woman. Tilly would tell him that he's losing it.
• Miss Grimshaw will walk up to Arthur and tell him that she unloaded his stuff in one of the upstairs bedrooms, thinking it would be nice for him. Arthur would thank her, and sarcastically remark about the alligators and mosquitoes.
• A drunk Uncle will walk up to Arthur and greet him, but Arthur tells him he isn't in the mood. Uncle will then tease Arthur about drinking cow piss instead of milk.
• Miss Grimshaw will check up on Pearson at the gazebo - he will explain all the accomplishments he did when he was out at sea, and now he's living in a swamp, waiting to get shot for riding with outlaws. Miss Grimshaw tells him that she never took him for the self-pitying sort, and he tells her that he wasn't; that it's the mud and the swamp getting to him. Pearson then cancels himself out by saving he's actually fine, and nothing like good honest labor to cheer him up.
• A drunk Karen would walk up to Arthur and compliment him on his manliness. When Arthur points her state to her, Karen denies it.
• On the left side of the house, Abigail freaks out over the kidnapping of Jack, and John tries to calm her down, assuring her that he'll be alright. Abigail claims she will threaten the fires of Hell on whoever took him. If Arthur is nearby, she'll denounce him and the gang of strong men that cannot protect one boy. Arthur can promise Abigail that the gang will get Jack back; and Abigail tells him to stop telling her, and to just do it, all of them. Arthur can tell John that Abigail will be alright, and John tells him that they need to find Jack. Arthur can find Miss Grimshaw afterwards, and ask her to keep an eye on Abigail; she tells him that she will. (Can only trigger before "The Joys of Civilization")
• Swanson walks up to Arthur, telling him he's been wanting to tell him something for days. When Arthur asks what it is, Swanson disses himself for not remembering, and blames it on his "curse". Arthur tells him to just stop doing it, but Swanson tells him that he can't.
• Tilly will walk up to Arthur, telling him that she's worried about Karen, and how she's been hitting the liquor. Arthur tells Tilly that he will speak to her, and Tilly will try, as well, but knows it won't work.
• Behind Strauss's cart, John will tell Sadie that he's surprised she's still around, and thought she hightailed it by now. Sadie would explain that she has nowhere to go, and that the gang isn't so bad. If Arthur is there, Sadie will point out that he acts cold-blooded, but knows he isn't. If Arthur isn't there, Sadie will say that Abigail is as good as they come. Both claims of which John was not sure about. Arthur can comment on Sadie's remark to Arthur, but assures him that he's a good man; Arthur will tell her that she doesn't know him as well as she thinks.
• In John's room, Abigail cries on John's bed, with Karen comforting her, assuring her that nobody is going to harm Jack.
• At the dominoes table, Kieran apologizes to Abigail, because he saw the Braithwaites coming to camp, but didn't realize they would kidnap Jack, and knew Arthur and Hosea had dealings with them. Kieran then tells her that he would gladly give his life for Jack's, and apologizes again.
• Miss Grimshaw and Karen sing "A Prisoner for Life", and dedicated it to Sean.
• In response to Sean's death from the previous chapter, Karen would tell Arthur that it isn't the same without Sean; Arthur would tell her that he had a soft spot for her. She'd tell him that Sean was full of himself, but she liked him. Bill would tell Arthur that he feels bad about what happened to Sean, and didn't know the Grays would ambush them like that; Arthur would tell him that there's no use changing it now. Two very rare interactions would have Javier and Dutch respectively ask Arthur what happened, and he would explain that Bill or Micah, more of the former, led them into an ambush, and that Arthur blames himself. Javier would tell Arthur that he'll miss him, and Dutch swears that they will make the Grays bleed.
• At the campfire, Karen will greet Micah as Mr. Bell, but Micah insists on being called by his first-name. Karen declines that, in fear people will give the wrong impression that she likes him. Micah tells her that the only thing she loves is a bottle of whiskey, and everybody knows it. He tells her everybody is concerned, except him. He believes she's passed worrying about, and that she will get what she deserves.
• At the campfire, Uncle asks Trelawny where he's from, and he teasingly tells him the Moons of Jupiter. Afterwards, Uncle tries to guess where he's from, until Trelawny tells him Cornwall, where the real original Celts are from. Uncle then asks him what it's like, then Trelawny admits that he's never been there. Uncle tells him he's from Ohio, and that he has been there.
• Bill and Pearson drink at the Poker table, and Bill tells Pearson that the problem with him is that he's just a drunk. Pearson then goes up to Bill's face, calls him all talk, and pushes him. Bill then punches him to the ground to prove that he's not all talk. If Arthur is nearby, Bill will angrily ask him what he's looking at, and Arthur would tell him, "Not much". (Triggers again at Jack's return party)
• Bill loudly complains about how he hates "this swampy shithole", and tells Arthur that he even got a mosquito bite on his pecker. Arthur tells him that he didn't know that and didn't need to either.
• At the campfire, Micah insults the men in the gang for their whining, calling them women. He tells them that it's kill or be killed, and there's nothing they can do to change it.
• If the player hasn't started "Help a Brother Out" yet, Swanson will walk up to Arthur, first by Arthur pointing out that he looks well, and Swanson says he usually does at first, but then he makes a fool of himself again. He then brings up a kind monk that took him back to his early days in college, and told Swanson that there have been bad things happening in Saint Denis, and that Arthur could have a chat with him.
• After Arthur discovers Trelawny's family's apartment in Saint Denis, Trelawny can tell Arthur that he knew he was there. Arthur didn't know Trelawny was married, and Trelawny assures him that he loves her, but he can't stay still.
• If Arthur has previously encountered Sonny in the swamps, Bill may walk up to Arthur and tell him he met an interesting feller in the swamps. He further says that he seemed to know all about Arthur, to which Arthur responds by angrily telling Bill to get out.
• Between Jack's return party and "Horsemen, Apocalypses", Mary-Beth can ask both Pearson and Ms. Grimshaw about Kieran's whereabouts; both will say that they do not know where Kieran is, although the former will also try to make small talk about how he once saw a shark eat multiple men.
• Mary-Beth and Karen talk about Saint Denis. Karen argues that Saint Denis was built on nothing but dirt, while Mary-Beth maintains that Saint Denis wasn't bad-she says that it was built on memories, which is what the place was built on. Karen bitterly ends the argument and walks away.
• Similarly, Karen may approach Mary-Beth triumphantly, claiming she had told Mary-Beth Saint Denis wasn't a good place. She then told her about how she had heard someone talk about a person in Saint Denis who drank blood. However, Mary-Beth finds that very romantic.
• Javier walks up to Arthur, telling him sarcastically that Shady Belle is a lovely place, and makes him miss freezing back in the mountains.
• On the dock by the canoe, Molly would pace back and forth, and mumbling about being lied to, and laughed at. If Arthur gets too close, she'll demand him to leave her alone. (Can trigger multiple times)
• At another point, at the same dock, Karen would walk up to Molly, and Molly would demand her to go away, and to stop laughing at her. Karen would tell her that nobody is laughing at her, but Molly just tells her to shut up. Karen tells her that anybody judges those who say life is hard is a fool, and that she isn't a fool. Molly confesses that she is, always thinking her better than anyone else, and now she believes the whole camp is laughing at her, or feeling sorry for her. After she marches away, Arthur will comment, saying that Molly is losing it - Karen would tell him that she lost it months ago.
• Behind the women's wagon, John teaches Jack to whittle; Jack wants a turn, but John refuses, not wanting to get into trouble again. John then asks Jack if he's okay, but he says that he is, and wonders why he asks. John tells him, no reason, agives him the whittled stick, and pats his head before walking away. If Arthur is nearby, John tells him that Jack has guts; Arthur will comment that he takes it after his mother.
• At the fountain, Hosea will jokingly tell Jack that he thought he joined the circus, and comment that his disappearance scared Abigail half to death. Jack was insistent that he was okay - he talked about spaghetti, how living at Angelo Bronte's was different, but nice, and that the people were nice, too; and that he slept in a bed in a room. Hosea would claim that it's like a cage, but Jack said it was more like a palace in a story. Hosea would call Jack their little prince, and if Arthur is nearby, he would tell him that Jack got used to fine living - Arthur tells him, what could be better than a house in a swamp surrounded by alligators. Hosea then tells Jack, that they'll begin reading again tomorrow.
• Bill can ask Hosea what he's reading, and Hosea will tell him nothing he would be interested in. Bill gets offended by his remark.
• By the fountain, Strauss will tell Hosea what real coffee is. Hosea sarcastically tells him that he looks forward to it.
• At the gazebo, Karen and Tilly sew together - Karen complains about the swamp, and Tilly says that it beats freezing to death. Karen reminds Tilly about the fact they're in the South, and that their losses, but Tilly tries to focus on the positives, and to enjoy life while it lasts.
• On the right side of Shady Belle, while Dutch sits down to read, he calls John over as he walks by. Dutch tells John that it's nice to see him happy, playing family, and tells him to remember that the gang comes first. John does not understand what Dutch means, but Dutch brushes his advice off as just silly and odd. Dutch then tells John in a threatening voice that he knows him. If Arthur is nearby, John would ask him what Dutch's problem is, and Arthur would tell him that he has no idea.
• Inside the mansion, while John stands by the table at the right side of the front door, Dutch tells John that he's been quiet. John questions Dutch of why they're still in Lemoyne, and thought they were heading West; but Dutch tells him that they live free, and reminded John that they were there to get his son back, and that he looks after his own. If Arthur is nearby, he'll ask him if he believes of how ungrateful John is, and John knows Arthur would just agree with him; Arthur would respond that Dutch always said John was too smart. Dutch then tells John to not forget who he is.
• After Kieran's death in "Horsemen, Apocalypses", Arthur can talk to various gang members after the battle. Some, such as Bill, Charles, Uncle, Mary-Beth, Abigail, and Micah would comment about Kieran's death. Molly would mention both Kieran and Sean's deaths, and the fact that Dutch isn't speaking to her. Others, like John, Hosea, Miss Grimshaw, Pearson, Swanson, Javier, and Jack would just comment about the dire situation they're in. Sadie would be covered in blood, and if Arthur asks how Sadie's doing, she would gladly say she's fine.
• Inside the manor, Tilly would recognize that there's something wrong with Karen, and Karen would tell her that maybe the good times weren't as good as she remembered. Tilly would comfort her, saying that it'll be alright.
• After "American Fathers II" is completed, Charles will tell Arthur that he was tasked by Eagle Flies to rescue some Native children from a reform school. Arthur offers to help, but Charles declines, saying that it's a quick one-man job, and will be back in a few days.
• Hosea walks over to Pearson at his cart, and asks him if he's ready for Tahiti. Pearson tells Hosea that he's never been to Tahiti, but has been to Bali and Java, and that he saw a man that was no bigger than a coconut, and speaks seven languages. Pearson then asks Hosea how he and Abigail did in town; Hosea tells him that it went well, and praises Abigail's acting, with the town believing that she's part of a real estate gig from New England. She hid an explosive device, so when it's time to rob the bank, they will detonate it. Pearson then wonders if Hosea is sure that the bank heist is going to work, and he tells him to pack up, that they're leaving. Pearson feels relieved, saying that where they're staying in is not for him.
• Inside the mansion, Karen will ask Mary-Beth how she's been getting on, and Mary-Beth tells her that she stole a necklace at a mansion that previous week. Karen confesses that Saint Denis scares her, but Mary-Beth responds to how romantic it all is. Karen calls her mad.
• By the dock, Abigail calls out for Jack, looking for him. When she finds Pearson smoking on the dock, she asks him where he is. He tells her that he always turns up, because he's a smart kid. Abigail calls out for Jack again, saying that she's getting really worried. Arthur can comfort her, saying that he will turn up, and she tells him that the boy would be the death of her. Arthur can comment to Pearson about Jack disappearing, and Pearson would tell ask him that could he blame Jack for running off, to which Arthur agrees.
• Inside the mansion, at the planning table, Hosea and Dutch observe the map to talk about the bank score. Dutch is confident as long as they have time, and Hosea explains the distraction than himself and Abigail are going to do during the score. When Dutch starts to show a little bit of doubt, Hosea mocks him, telling him to show a little faith, to which Dutch found funny. If Arthur is nearby, Dutch will show confidence that this is the heist they were waiting for. Arthur can also ask Dutch if he's sure about the heist, to which Dutch will respond with, they just need to make sure everything is covered.

• The very first moment of the party is Dutch, Hosea, John, Abigail, Jack, Lenny, Mary-Beth, Karen, Miss Grimshaw, Pearson, and Uncle gathering around at the campfire, while Javier sings "Cielito Lindo" and plays his guitar. Charles and Bill sit at the table nearby and drink, and Kieran and Sadie just watch from the background. Everybody welcomes Jack back after the song is over.
• Just as Javier sings another song once most of the gang leaves the campfire, Abigail gets Jack something to eat, and John tells Hosea that he couldn't have gotten Jack back without Dutch and Arthur.

• Arthur can ask Molly to join in, but Molly tells him that she isn't in the mood.
• Abigail thanks John for finding Jack, and apologizes for getting worried.

• Closer to the entrance of the manor, John invites Abigail and Jack to stay with him in his room, and actually be a normal family. John tells her that there's nothing normal about their life; if Arthur is nearby, John would use him as an example, and Arthur would tell Abigail that man don't change like the wind. Abigail disagrees, and that some do change - some are just dumb.
• Molly gets on a drunken rant towards Dutch about the disrespect she's been getting from him, and that he ruined her life. Dutch brushes off her distress, and tells her that he sees things differently. Molly marches off, telling Dutch to leave her alone. Arthur can comment to Dutch about Molly's bitter mood.
• Karen, Uncle, and Miss Grimshaw sing "The Heartland Stage Company" at the Poker table, with Javier playing the guitar. Arthur has the option to sing along.

• If Arthur talks to Lenny during the party, Arthur can shout out, "Lennyyyyyyy!" as a reference to "A Quiet Time". Lenny would frightenedly tell Arthur that it's all coming back to him.
• While it's pouring rain, Pearson walks around camp, drunk, rambling that he doesn't want to die like an animal; he wants to die like a gentleman cook. Afterwards, he heads to the campfire, alone, and sings "The Old Scout's Lament". Arthur has the option to sing along.
• Kieran disappears right after the party.

Guarma

For the first few missions of Chapter Five, following the disastrous Saint Denis bank heist, members of the Van der Linde gang are stranded on the tropical island of Guarma. After the mission "Welcome to the New World," Hercule Fontaine, leader of the Guarma Rebels, gives the gang a place to stay- a small run down fort by La Capilla. Because of the shortness of this part of the chapter, camp interactions are few in numbers.

Micah will be the only one at camp, guarding, during which Arthur can ask Micah his opinion on Hosea and Lenny's death during "Banking, the Old American Art." If the player completes "A Kind and Benevolent Despot" first, Javier will also appear in camp and thank Arthur for rescuing him. Arthur will also tell Micah to look after Javier, telling him that if he dies, it's on him. Depending on what the player completes last, they cannot access this camp after "Savagery Unleashed" or "A Kind and Benevolent Despot."

Lakay

In the latter half of Chapter Five, after those stranded on Guarma return to the United States, they reunite with the rest of the Van der Linde gang at their new camp in Lakay, deep in the swamps. After completing "Fleeting Joy," in which Pinkertons ambush Lakay, the player is given free-roam once more, and it can be discovered that morale among the gang is incredibly low, perhaps as low as it has been since the Blackwater Massacre.

The only known camp event is Susan Grimshaw demanding everyone to get packed before the Pinkertons come back. Arthur can speak to the other gang members to get their opinion on the situation, some of which is Arthur asking where Molly, whose been missing since the bank heist, is. After completing "That's Murfree Country," the gang moves out of Lakay.

Beaver Hollow Chapter

With the final chapter of the main story, the Van der Linde gang, in desperation, hides in the caves of the hostile Roanoke Ridge. After completing "That's Murfree Country," camp events in Beaver Hollow can be triggered, although after completing "My Last Boy," these camp events are not accessible.

List of Events

• Bill and Javier are discussing whether John is a traitor to the gang and whether or not it is right that John should be imprisoned and hanged in Sisika Penitentiary. If Arthur is nearby, Bill will ask him if he still has his "head up [his] ass", and Arthur will respond that he probably does, "because all I'm hearing is shit."
• John and Jack may have a pretend sword fight together, before Micah interrupts to tell John to cherish every last moment with his son. John tells him to leave Jack alone. Micah can also spot Arthur and remark "Ah, the rest of the old guard".
• Susan may ask Dutch what they are doing. She tells him that at present, they need to move and keep moving. This greatly angers Dutch, who yells at her that they need money and calls her a fool. He reiterates that they need money or they are all dead.
• Immediately after Ms. Grimshaw shoots Molly at the end of "That's Murfree Country", Karen is seen berating Grimshaw for shooting her. Grimshaw tries to defend her actions by reminding her that she broke the rules, but Karen disputes this and angrily denounces her as a murderer.
• Jack is seen going around the camp frantically searching for Cain. He repeatedly calls for him and eventually asks Ms. Grimshaw whether she has seen Cain, which she denies, although she reassured him that he will turn up eventually and that he is a wanderer. Eventually, Micah will call Jack over and coldly tells him that the dog wasn't going to turn up and told him to get lost. Arthur may question Micah on what he had done with the dog, to which he responds by claiming that the dog had run away. Arthur calls him a bastard.

Pronghorn Ranch
