Red Dead Redemption 2 – The Delights of Van Horn Walkthrough

The Delights of Van Horn

The Delights of Van Horn is one of the main missions available in Red Dead Redemption 2. Bill and Arthur want to ambush a military convoy transporting dynamite – the convoy will move through Van Horn.

How to get a gold medal in The Delights of Van Horn?

  • Headshot 5 soldiers with a long scoped rifle – Headshot 5 enemies right after Bill starts his attack.
  • Complete with at least 85% accuracy – A classic RDR2 challenge that requires high accuracy.

To start this RDR2 mission, approach Micah on the porch just outside of Van Horn Trading Post.

Like usual, he’s a huge jerk to Arthur. At the end of it, only Arthur and Bill leave to rob the stage coach full of explosives. Micah has “other business” to attend to.

On the way, Bill spots a few Pinkerton patrols, but you’re able to avoid them.

When you get to the position to intersect them, Arthur will convince Bill to play dead, while you get in position.

Do it quickly. There’s a big hole in the wall on the south side of the building the yellow marker is inside. Go inside, and get in position on the second floor, looking out the window toward Bill.

Gold Medal Requirement:

  • Headshot 5 soldiers with a long scoped rifle. The repeater is easier to complete this mission, since you can target multiple enemies with one Dead Eye, but to get the Gold Medal requirement you need to use the long-scope rifle.
  • Aim for one, then immediately activate Dead Eye to get another one, easy. You can do this again until you have all 5.

After taking them out, leave the building, and get in the wagon with Bill. He’ll drive. A lot of men on horses will pursue you.

Gold Medal Requirement:

  • Complete with at least 85% accuracy – the whole time, just aim behind you. You can use Snake Oil and Dead Eye to keep your accuracy up.

As with the gold medal requirement, keep your sights behind you.

After you escape them, you and Bill will begin talking, and soon you’ll meet up with Micah.

He sends John Marston off to position the dynamite wagon beneath Bacchus Bridge. He says it’s a two man job, and Arthur should go help. That mission won’t be available immediately, but Bacchus Bridge is right next to Rains Fall. So, continue to Archeology for Beginners.
