An American Pastoral Scene

Micah has a score ready to make up for the Strawberry mess he made. All they need to do is steal a coach used to transfer money around. Easy.

Rewards: Lancaster Repeater

Bumpy start

Micah is found camping out between two huge rocks. Arthur doesn't have high hopes for whatever he has planned. Micah says he heard from an O'Driscoll about a bank coach that goes through Strawberry on the regular. They are going to rob it.

Mount your horse and follow Micah. Arthur is worried about guards but Micah brushes it off. The guy he got the information from talked all about it. Also, the O'Driscolls took over a large ranch north of here. Good to know. Arthur hasn't been impressed with Micah the few months he's been with the gang. Micah stops on a ridge overlooking the area. The coach should be coming soon. Eventually he spots it. Time to ride.

Butterfingers

Attack the guards to stop the stagecoach. There are four on horseback and another on the coach itself plus the driver. Nearing a train bridge, if you don't move quickly and stop it a wheel will fall off and the coach will careen off a cliff near the river. When they are all dead get on the stagecoach with Micah. He'll drive.

He finds a rifle and gives it to Arthur. They need to keep moving in case there is a second team of guards coming. Dutch should be happy with Micah when he gets the money and a new coach. A short drive later you may see some movement in the river ahead. Suddenly a tree falls across the road with a person next to it and Micah diverts into the river, flipping the wagon, as masked men wait among the rocks. Arthur and Micah find cover behind a large one.

Take out the rival gang members - O'Driscolls. In addition to the six among the rocks, 10 more will come from the trail ahead on foot, horseback, and wagon. Kill as many as you can. The last two will flee. Micah is pumped but Arthur is glad to be alive - again. The coach is busted so they might as well take what they can from it. One day they'll get a lock breaker for these things but for now the lock needs to be shot.

Go over to the stagecoach and shoot the lock on the lower compartment. Micah pulls out a lockbox. Inside is a large sum of money that gets split between them. Arthur tells Micah to make sure the gang gets its share and not to get followed back to camp. He knows. Micah rides off.

Gold Tips

  • Note that this mission can be done well after Pouring Forth Oil - IV but the Dead Eye will still auto-paint targets. Keep this in mind as you will need to aim high, activate Dead Eye, then come down to an enemy's head and shoot.
  • As of this writing there seems to be a bug where the cutscenes add time to the medal's clock. You'll need to skip all cutscenes.
  • In pursuit of the wagon, do not kill the driver (yet). You want to keep it moving at full speed as long as possible.
  • The mounted guards can be difficult to headshot since they will be hunched over their horses at times. You also need to be quick or else Micah will take one down for you. Try to get all four in one Dead Eye or at least the two in front of Micah. Then quickly get the others. Save the one on the wagon for last.
  • Use quick Dead Eye bursts to conserve it.
  • After passing under the train bridge, shoot the driver near the end of the trees. Beyond the trees the wagon loses the wheel which leads to a failure.
  • Quickly mount the wagon with Micah.
  • Quickly wipe out the gang members around the river. Move around to flank the ones hiding but watch your health and use the rocks as cover.
  • Quickly shoot the lock on the wagon before Micah comes over.
