After you do that mission where the guy coughs blood in your face.. the ride home played this dark ominous music. Like dark and sad. And first time playing I thought it was just trying to make me feel bad for kicking a sick man in the face. Then I realized later on it was the karma

I actually got my first one in chapter 2. I was doing the Chez Porter robbery with Javier and Arthur had a pretty nasty cough.

[@Cowboykilla234]

Right after finding that box with the money, what gets me is how he coughs even if you didnt do the thomas downs mission

[@brandonott6103]

The cough isn’t related to TB in that mission, I did the Javier homestead robbery mission long before I did the Thomas down debt mission, so the coughing is probably just a struggle cough from pushing that heavy thing off the money, or just him choking on spit out of nowhere, it happens to me so much.

[@visual_audiosymphony]

My first hearing of the cough was when Javier and Arthur went to rob a homestead before the end of chapter 3.

[@dmitrydagaev2750]

You can get this robbery in chapter 2 even. Seems like a lil bug

When you first go to Saint Denis to get information on Angelo Bronte’s whereabouts, when you do the mission where the group of kids show you around, at one point, the kid giving you the tour points in the direction of the doctor’s office and says something along the lines of “Hopefully you won’t ever need his services, but the doctor’s office is in that direction.”

[@40channel74]

If not for Strauss, Arthur would not have been infected and could have helped John in RDR1 with the ranch, revenge on Dutch and the final battle against Ross. The main villain is Strauss.

[@ghantagamer8051]

[@basictrash7115]

​@@TheWilku22at the end of the day it was Arthur's violent tendencies that got him tb. putting all the blame on Strauss literally destroys the symbolism and significance of Arthur getting sick

[@abelcollado1711]

​@@basictrash7115Except Strauss is the one who encouraged those violent tendencies by telling him to beat him until he gets the money. Yes at the end of the day Arthur is responsible for his own actions since he still beat him, but let's not ignore that Strauss (so long as they didn't die) encouraged Arthur to be violent towards them until the money was given. The symbolism will still hold since Arthur did not hesitate to beat Downes.

[@j.car09]

If not for Strauss, Arthur wouldn’t get redemption and probably die to the Pinkertons, as he wouldn’t value John’s family as much as he did when he caught tb and righted his wrongs.

It’s so weird replaying this game in Chapter One & before the Downes mission. Since Arthur’s main concern is his future being an outlaw but with the assumption that he’ll live. He just has a completely different vibe.

[@texacosnow7045]

He has a bad coughing fit after the Javier mission. I know it’s there whether you meet downes or not. But I believe that homestead mission shows his first TB cough and they just let you play the mission before the downes mission

[@tylerpierce9497]

Thats just because of all the dust or whatever from that barn im pretty sure, he gets TB because Mr Downes directly spits on Arthur when he's infected/sick and thats one of the ways you can contract TB

he hid it so well and was struggling for so long before anyone knew because he didn’t want to worry anyone, or for anyone to think he was weak. even in his last moments he was the strongest man in video game history in my opinion. us as the player didn’t even know until the diagnosis, after that he still hid it… bless his soul

I think the first time I noticed a concerning cough was the home robbery that’s up in the mountains with the hillbilly family. Arthur has a coughing fit in the barn while getting the stash and also after.
