Lights, Camera, Action

Part 1

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must have completed the mission “The Sport of Kings, and Liars” to unlock.

LOCATION:

WALKTHROUGH:

Speak to a man named MacKenna in the rear of the Armadillo cinema.

Right away it is obvious he's a lively fellow.

He dismisses comments about his current surroundings and says that he will be building a new film studio as well as turn New Austin into the second center of the film industry (Hollywood's stake had only begun in recent years).

MacKenna says there is an old ranch north of Armadillo that should be up for grabs.

The owner also happens to lose frequently at Liar's Dice. MacKenna wants the property but Marston is not so sure he can get it. MacKenna also mentions to look out for a famed movie gunslinger named Spatchcock around Benedict Point. The deranged actor believes he's the real deal so it would be helpful to get him back to work before he gets killed.

Part 2

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must have completed "Lights, Camera, Action" Part 1.
• Parts 2 and 3 can be done in any order.

LOCATION:

WALKTHROUGH:

Head over to Thieves' Landing and enter the saloon.

Sit down at the Liar's Dice table and take on the deed holder.

You'll need to ante $200 but will make that back (and more) upon winning. There may be more than the deed holder at the table which can mean more money but also more challenges.

In Liar's Dice you need to guess how many dice show a certain number among your own dice and others at the table. See more details on how to play in our Activities and Minigames guide.

You can say there are "at least" so many, say that someone else's guess is "spot on", or say that their guess is a "bluff".

The guesses can be altered as each player takes their turn. Every wrong guess loses a player one die. A correct spot on guess means all other players lose a die too. The game is over when only one player has dice left.

Part 3

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must have completed "Lights, Camera, Action" Part 1.
• Parts 2 and 3 can be done in any order.

LOCATION:

WALKTHROUGH:

Head out to Benedict Point and find Spatchcock at the train station.

He plays out a cliché gunslinger as expected and challenges you to a duel.

Remember to only disarm him; not kill him. Killing him will result in a mission failure and you'll need to try again a day later.

One shot to his shooting arm, hand or his weapon will end the duel in your favor.

Part 4

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must have completed "Lights, Camera, Action" Parts 2 & 3.

LOCATION:

WALKTHROUGH:

After successfully disarming Spatchcock and winning the Deed in Liar's Dice, return to MacKenna at the cinema in Armadillo.

He'll take the deed and send you on your way with some extra cash.

Part 5

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must have access to West Elizabeth, following completion of "An Appointed Time".
• Must have completed "Lights, Camera, Action" Part 4.
• At least 2 days must have passed in-game since completing the previous part.

LOCATION:

WALKTHROUGH:

A week later in West Elizabeth, speak to McKenna who is sitting behind a building at the Pacific Union Railroad Camp.

He says in a grand way that his plan failed.

He lost all of his money for the studio, weather delayed production, and Spatchcock fled to Canada with his new love - a camera man.

MacKenna vows to press onward.

The stranger mission is now complete.
