10 Darkest Stranger Missions In Red Dead Redemption 2

9. Oh, Brother

While this Stranger Mission is more darkly comedic than macabre, Oh, Brother is nevertheless another shining example of Rockstar's brilliant writing.

Putting you in the middle of a love triangle between two eccentric brothers named Proetus and Acrisus, vying for the affection of a woman named Helen, you can find this mission in Chapter Four after the mission The Gilded Cage.

After this point, all you have to do is make your way to Valentine where you'll find the group outside the General Store as the brothers debate about which one of them is the bravest in an attempt to impress their crush.

Believing you to be a good shot, they rope you into their childish contest by having you shoot bottles off their heads. With each subsequent meeting getting sillier as they raise the stakes, you'll also kick them in the groin and send them over a waterfall in barrels, which almost kills them.

Emerging from their near-death experience, however, the brothers finally understand how foolish they've been; but rather than taking responsibility for their own actions, instead they blame Helen, who was more interested in the brothers’ attention than their safety.
