Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Best Stranger Missions You Must Find

2. Noblest Of Men, And A Woman - Valentine

A prime example of a Stranger Mission that perfectly marries exploration with storytelling, Noblest of Men, and a Woman is one of the very best missions in Red Dead Redemption 2, for two precise reasons: first, it exemplifies the story's anti-western beats with a striking condemnation of the period's mythology; and secondly, it serves as another means of conveying Arthur Morgan's impact on those around him.

The missions themselves are both challenging and enjoyable, providing players with some neat throwbacks to the gunslinging of the Old West whilst at the same time providing some clever commentary on its fiction. Arthur shovels hog-crap, fends off bounty hunters and even gets involved in a few duels along the way - all in the name of completing Theodore Levin's book on legendary gunslinger Jim "Boy" Calloway.

Morgan is promised proceeds from the book upon its publication, which he asks to be sent to Tacitus Kilgore - a setup that lets you collect a share of the profits later in the game.
