How Many People Did Arthur Kill in Red Dead Redemption 2

[@obvioustrollthatbaitedyou5036]

You have to also consider the final mission, "Red Dead Redemption" where Arthur killed around 15 lawmen on the cliff + when he reveals micah was the rat

[@PerkaSet]

Yeahh thats in the kill count, just didnt want to go deep into the spoilers at the end, even tho it is a 5 year old game lol

If Arthur kills 1069 people canonically, imagine how many more people are killed by unhinged low honour players

[@All_Seeing_Knap]

I think Arthur being bad at first but good later, is the go-to play through imo. Warning, spoilers: You have way more opportunities to turn your honour around after Guarma. Pre-Guarma Arthur doesn't really have a reason to be good, especially since he's on good terms with Dutch, and Jimmy Brooks is like the only pre-chapter 5-6 moral test you have that isn't sparing some random pedestrian from a snake bite or hold-up. The stuff you do with brother Dorkins, Sister Calderon, helping Sadie, etc. give you massive positive honour unlike anything else in the game. I'm also going a lot off of Arthur's dialogue, saying that he isn't a good person throughout the game, and you even get small confessionals in camp whenever you have negative honour from people like Tilly and Mary-Beth. The good playthrough is good, but without Arthur being mean in the beginning and good by the end, it's hardly a redemption.

[@ocifer]

This is small but I believe you mean “Pre-Gaurma” and “pre-chapter 5-6”

[@All_Seeing_Knap]

@@ocifer yes! Thank you

@@All_Seeing_Knap no problem, just didn’t want any confusion 👍🏻

[@zoesabina]

At first I was like okay this makes sense, then I scrolled down💀

[@nolanmitcheltree3854]

Helping out ms downes is a huge boost too

[@ashenking5013]

1069 in RDR2 alone, eh? Imagine how many he killed in his 20+ year career as an outlaw.

[@R3YXN121]

Probably not many as Dutch advised him not to kill unnecessarily and even scolds him for it

[@2001sas]

It’s actually crazy that u can play as a bad guy the entire game

[@candle2005]

Huge respect for counting all the kills approximately. Also my bad honor playthrough Arthur is probably nearing 2k kill mark

[@bruh-bn3ni]

micah has a lower kill count than arthur lmao. though we have to keep in mind, if this was written like a novel or movie then you should divide the number by 10 or even more. because remember in some parts of the story, arthur is literally threatened by a group of pinkertons but we know that in-game he can just deadeye all of them. so at most canonically he only has around a hundred kills, it also wouldnt make sense, why does colm's gang have a higher population than valentine or why are there so many bounty hunters

[@TacTar]

Arthur: "you keep killin folk Dutch" Also Arthur:

[@ottolindfors]

tbf none of those are really civilians and u could argue that the people killed in robberies had the option to lay down their weapons. In the story Arthur never kills anyone unarmed unless its a player choice like the Jimmy Brooks. Dutch however kills Angelo Bronte brutally and proceeds to kill an innocent old lady on Guarma in cold blood.

[@TacTar]

@@ottolindfors tbf no one cares

[@AmeerBeats]

​@@ottolindforsstill, he killed 526 ppl trying to protect the law. That's wild

[@bruh-bn3ni]

arthur when he kills thousands: arthur when dutch kills a crazy old woman in bumfuck nowhere on an island: 😲

[@bruh-bn3ni]

@@ottolindfors ok just imagine if rockstar made a story mode dlc for a random bountry hunter you had no thought of killing. he probably had wives, kids, a childhood, all of that normal life stuff and probably kissed his wife promising that hes coming back home after a long day of work arresting criminals, he became a bounty hunter because his family was killed by a gang or something. all of this story leading up only to have him deadeyed by arthur. and then his family gets no justice because arthur died on some mountain peacefully without a criminal trial

[@Vextonomy]

hundreds if only counting the story missions

[@AlqhemyA]

ludonarative dissonance moment

[@theexpanse2723]

I can't. I really can't get past the mission where Arthur goes to the doctor, and we know he's doomed. I'm not ready to say goodbye to him. I know that one day I will continue the missions and finish Arthur's story, but in the meantime I am happy to find him sometimes, around Valentine, he hunts and fishes to feed his family, he helps strangers randomly, he rides in the mountains to hunt the legendary animals. Everything has an end, and basically for me Arthur Morgan will always remain this gruff cowboy with a big heart.

[@ghostyhype_btw4303]

Crazy to think this is all just one year of us as Arthur imagine how many more kills he has in his lifetime.

[@ocifer]

Good video, very well entertaining and answered one of my very many questions I had about the game. I subscribed!

[@c1arex]

Excited for the video!

[@hiimakememes]

im a max honor player and when it showed the kill count and the low honor sound effect played i nearly had a heart attack thinking id have to greet 93639462936304738 people again

[@evildano1313]

You didn't factor in the 150+ you kill for being rude to you when you say "hi" to them.

[@apollo180]

Uncle Tatinus. My new favorite RDR2 Character.

[@fatedsculpture2596]

It would be interesting if you try to count how many John kills in the epilogue and/or rdr1.

[@Toast4128]

Thats almost less than I expected

[@radiosouls]

For a good amount of these missions I feel as if a killed way more, but that could be more of a resort of how I played throw the game.

[@allisonasaro3815]

Holy crap and this is in an honorable playthrough! I don’t think I want to know how many I’ve killed so far 🫢

[@PerkaSet]

THOUSANDSSSSS

[@dantethe.goat14]

its likely he has a kill count of around 20,000 seeing that he ran with the gang for 20 years

[@PerkaSet]

Bro is a menace

[@xtopia9758]

If I added this to my free roam kills I'd get 10,000 lol

[@Blue_cheese.]

I love how by chapter one if Arthur was real he would have been the deadliest gunslinger in U.S history

[@TBrizzle01]

It's a great game but I always thought the amount of enemies was video game like. They mention that Colm O'Driscoll takes anyone but his gang ultimately has thousands of people 😂

[@PlorkStar]

I would say canonically he’s probably supposed to have a lot less. This is just for the gameplay because it’s a game. It wouldn’t be so fun if you could only kill like three people at a time in a rockstar game.

[@CsFrmDaA]

John probably has more than the flu

[@ahuraahmadi9673]

You literally forgot pouring the forth oil mission which Arthur kills around 20 lawman

[@walx274]

Are you using a graphics mod ? I don’t remember the game looking that good lmao Even on ultra on pc

[@andreavdalyan8626]

I killed 300 lemoyne raiders alone

[@atakurt6055]

lmao the guy racked up the kill count of a small time dictator

[@Faze_dubs1400]

Did you get when Arthur had to save revrend Swanson and had to shoot the guy and the whiteness

[@Toast4128]

You don't shoot him, you treet him like any other witness, and threaten to beat their ass

[@internetcutie]

tell me you've heard the bad honor ding too many times to count without telling me

[@highX-911]

Just 1000+

[@rekonzuken1]

can arthur just kiil a whole town?

[@internetcutie]

well he kinda did.. twice Valentine and Rhodes where the whole town was left quiet and deserted i wouldn't count Strawberry cause Arthur himself says he shot up "half the town"

[@D-F-T]

Dishonorable play through until Chapter 6 is canon. So you can count Jimmy Brooks, Anthony Foreman, the train guards, etc.

[@Toast4128]

Arthur doesn't kill Jimmy Brooks. This is canon

[@D-F-T]

@@Toast4128 do you have a reference to this? From a logical standpoint he would’ve killed him.

[@Toast4128]

@@D-F-T From a logical stand point, he scared him straight. Jimmy knows Arthur easily could have let him fall, but he didn't. Jimmy probably feels a sort of debt to Arthur, and wouldn't be a snitch. Also, he didn't snitch throughout the story, and even if he did, the law was constantly on their tail, and it likely wouldn't make a difference.

[@Toast4128]

@@D-F-T also, who the hell kills the train guards?

[@D-F-T]

@@Toast4128 they were on the run from the incident in Blackwater. If someone present during that time noticed you, made a scene, and began fleeing, you would not run the risk of keeping him alive. Keeping him alive would jeopardize the gang’s whereabouts. The law was on the gang’s trail for Dutch’s foolish decisions, poor judgement, and how much time the gang spent in town. Just because they’re on the gang’s tail doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tie up loose ends and eliminate everyone who could be a problem. Killing 2/3 train guards makes the most sense. Kill 2 so you scare the third guard, he notices Dutch, tell Cornwall (who they underestimated), and he hired to Pinkertons to help.
