Outlaws from the West Guide – Red Dead Redemption 2

In Red Dead Redemption 2, the Outlaws from the West mission kicks off with Dutch, Micah, and Arthur on the run through the harsh mountain wilderness. Stranded and needing supplies, the gang heads out to Adler Ranch. This Outlaws from the West guide will walk you through the mission, ensuring you complete it with the maximum rewards and hit all of the key objectives.

Outlaws from the West Challenges (3)

1. Take no damage during the shootout.
2. Loot 6 or more items from Adler Ranch.
3. Complete with at least 80% accuracy.

Step 1: Ride to Adler Ranch

The mission begins with Dutch and Arthur riding out on horseback to find supplies. Follow Dutch and listen to his dialogue as he provides some backstory. After a short time, Micah joins you and mentions that he has found a potential target—a nearby homestead. Continue riding with Dutch and Micah until you reach Adler Ranch.

Tip: You can hold L2 to engage in conversation with Micah during the ride. This can add some flavor to the story and give you more context.

Step 2: The Shootout at Adler Ranch

When you arrive at the ranch, hitch your horse and prepare for a shootout. Dutch tells you to stay hidden, so move to the nearby shed on the left. Once inside, you’ll listen to Dutch talk to the ranch’s occupants. It turns out the ranch is home to hostile bandits.

• Challenge Alert:
  • Take no damage during the shootout
  • Complete with at least 80% accuracy

The shootout will begin either when you fire first or when Dutch opens fire. Either way, you’ll need to clear out the enemies. Aim for the head to take them out quickly and avoid taking damage. Keep an eye on your cover and the number of enemies to stay safe.

• Pro Tip: Move from cover to cover, and use Dead Eye to slow down time and increase your accuracy during gunfights.

Step 3: Loot Adler Ranch

After the shootout, enter the Adler House and begin looting. There are several valuable items inside, so make sure you collect everything you can:

• Medicine Cabinet: 3x Opened Health Cure
• Kitchen: 3x Canned Vegetable, 2x Canned Fruit, 1x Assorted Biscuits
• By Lantern near Entrance: 1x Classic Oatcakes
• Bedroom Chest: 1x Coin Purse
• Loft: 1x Classic Oatcakes, 1x Revolver Cartridges (Regular)
• Challenge Alert: Loot 6 or more items from Adler Ranch. Make sure you grab at least 6 items to complete this challenge.

After looting, meet Dutch outside to proceed with the mission.

Step 4: Investigate the Barn

Now, head to the barn located southeast of the house. Open the barn doors, and prepare for a fistfight with an O’Driscoll gang member. Once you defeat him, you’ll have the option to interrogate him for information. You can choose to either spare him or kill him. The decision is up to you, and it won’t affect the mission outcome.

• Pro Tip: You can get the horse out of the barn by approaching it and calming it down. Lead the horse back to Dutch and Micah after your interrogation.

Step 5: Return to Dutch and Micah

Once the barn is clear, return to Dutch and Micah. Just as you approach them, you’ll hear a commotion coming from the house. Enter to check it out, and this will trigger a cutscene that concludes the mission.

This marks the end of Outlaws from the West, and the next mission, Enter, Pursued by a Memory, will be available to continue your journey.

Challenge Tips:

• For the “Take no damage” challenge: Stay in cover, and avoid rushing into open spaces. Use Dead Eye to take out enemies quickly and accurately.
• Looting efficiently: You can easily grab all the items from Adler Ranch by taking your time and checking every room.
• Accuracy challenge: Be deliberate with your shots, and aim for the head to conserve ammo and ensure a high accuracy score.
