Red Dead Redemption 2: 16 Essential Gameplay Secrets You Need To Know

14. Don't Worry If You Kill Merchant NPCs - They'll Return In Bandages & Wooden Limbs

Just an ace detail on its own, if you happen to catch a store clerk or meaningful merchant NPC with a stray bullet, providing it's not fatal, they'll return days later with some "amendments".

Depending on the severity of the wound you'll see wooden limbs, or just heads encased in bandages if they were victim to a particularly nasty scrap.

Either way, your game is not broken if you take these people out - it just takes time to be okay again.
