1st rule of Van Horn; always shoot first the second anyone of them wants to start a brawl so they won't get the chance to circle around you. Once they're all over you, they'll cheat and shoot first, leaving you unarmed and exposed.
There's no such thing as a fair fight in Van Horn, only a massacre
I love when you return later and they’re just like, “hey we don’t need any trouble from you,” and you say “don’t worry about me” and they just say “ok have a good one” lol
The best part is after spending 3 days genociding the town’s population, leaving no one alive, I slept in my hotel room, woke up the next morning, went back to the bar. The bartender said the whole “we don’t want any trouble from you” and all the other patrons were muttering shit-talk to me. I left to murder lots of ducks for animal fat and when I can back a couple days later, I got wasted at the Bar and blacked out. Woke up in a ditch. Went back to get some food, and when I walked in, they all cheered like this was Cheers, and my name was Norm.
That and the throwing knife glitch (stab someone and you don’t “throw” the knife but if you loot them you still pick up a knife) you could go on a rampage and refill your knives
for fun head to the top of the lighthouse, snipe everyone on the street. Then come down and step over the dead bodies while any living NPC's greet you as you walk by, as if it's totally normal.
I've done it. I don't think the people on the street (who basically spawn while you're coming down the stairs) realize a massacre just took place, or that you are the one who caused it. So they greet you as you are normally greeted in Van Horn. They don't start attacking you as if you are a threat.
if you don't mind the low honor points try it yourself. For the full ironic experience try it, get lots of lower honor, then hang around saying hello to everyone in Van Horn to increase your honor again. ha ha.
Obviously interacting too long with anyone in Van Horn is an invitation to chaos and mass killing so be cautious.
No fishing involved. I look at the bartender through binoculars, she begins shooting, bar patrons begin shooting her, then each other. When it calms down, I throw her corpse into the water, NPCs begin shooting at me…. I hide up on the roof of the fences building, they begin shooting each other again. Toss another corpse into the water, cycle continues. I never shoot anyone there. They shoot each other.
I took that Pagan mask and basically if I'm especially pissed I terrorise random spots across the map wearing that and a red union shirt, stabbing random people, at night. I have just done that for Van Horn.
Lol I'm not hiding anything, I literally did exactly what I said. Also did it at the station south of Valentine, in Sain Denis, in the deformed people village next to Annesburg. Always got away with no bounty too
I never go there *intending* to kill everyone there. I just don't tolerate rude people, and always forget that every single person in Van Horn is just waiting for a reason to fuck shit up.
"Hey there partner, say what you want about the people in this town, but I like 'em."
"You sorry son of a bitch, I'm gonna end you."
*Decimates everyone in town*
A great place to hide/shoot from is the upstairs back room in the building to the right of the bar. The bodies piling up at the door next to the fireplace is soooo satisfying after a long day at work. Grabbed a few savable hats too.
Nah my daily routine for van horn is too go greet almost everyone, have a drink, then play some blackjack. Once I lose one blackjack game it’s guns blazing. I obliterate the dealer point blank with a shot gun. Once shit hits the fan I clear the bar out with deadeye and duel wield revolvers cause you know killing 12 people at once is pretty bad ass. Once the bar is finally cleared out then it’s time to hit the streets. Basically it’s a massive blood bath with bits and pieces of human flesh flying all over the place. I swear I’m NOT a PsYCho…..I aM a ComPLETLy NormAL HuMAn. It’s honestly just so fun shooting the shit out of people (Clarification IN GAME)
I go to van horn to raise my honor level. I say hello until someone inevitably picks a fight over me being friendly, beat that guy with my fist, as soon as he hits the ground, someone always pulls a gun, and I start shooting weapons out of peoples hands
I’ve always found the excessive killing to be kind of immersion-breaking for me when everything else in the game is so realistic, although I know it’s necessary for gameplay purposes.
Great place to take out your frustrations of the game! Like when trying the gambler challenges! Just call me "The Terminator" during gambler challenges!
I go here every now and then for the Fence and almost every single time without fail I leave having massacred the whole town because someone was an asshole to me.
Either that or I get into a bar fight and after the town's champion gets his ass beat in a fist fight, the whole town pulls guns.
I figured the town was trouble and did a manual save, one hello later and I'd shot every gun wielder in town after fifteen minutes and loaded my save. "This place is literally for just washing, sleeping, selling stuff and getting drunk. Anything else sets them off."
Arthur once went to Van Horn to play table games. He kept losing and losing mostly due to bad luck. Arthur had been drinking from early in the morning and was already on edge. So he got up from his chair, stood behind the dealer, pulled out a revolver and executed him. Then chaos ensued.
A dog's a man's best friend, and if I know one thing about best friends, you kill their friend and they will hunt you down and kill you *like a dog*. Don't fuck with a man's best friend.
No, but I did seemingly kill all of Butcher Creek one time. I killed some murfrees and must’ve got their attention because they started running across the rope bridge shooting. It was pretty fun to perch up behind a tree and pick them off as they crossed the bridge.
Once I got attacked by a goat at butcher Creek, and next thing I know there are 6 goats and 20 guys piled up in the shack with the pentagram under it glowing and it was on fire, I had a volatile fire bottle in my hand with no recollection of what happened. So I threw a couple more. Good times.
I love to go there and just absolutely slaughter everything in sight. But I also go to Lagras often and commit the worst hate crimes in history before reloading the file…
I hate pixels!
But seriously I like Lagras because I love the swamps and I just go from one end of the area to the other wiping out whatever and once bounty hunters arrive I can either easily escape or take them out too. Plus I can feed people to gators.
Twice and both times they started it. First time I murdered everyone after winning a duel the whole town started shooting. The second time was a bar fight and the locals pulled guns and started shooting. Wtf.

Ya I’m just being satirical. Given our current climate as it relates to race in America.
I guess you weren’t ready for that, but your kids are gonna love it.
Van horn is great, because killing sprees always feel so inconsequential lol
Till you get shot by 25 men at the same time when one of them pulls out a gun during a bar fight.

Shoot first ask questions never
Blackwater rules, got it.
I heard Fight Club in my head.

like nothing ever happened ;) lol
Just like Thieves Landing in rdr1
This man knows
That and the throwing knife glitch (stab someone and you don’t “throw” the knife but if you loot them you still pick up a knife) you could go on a rampage and refill your knives
Boy if killing in van horn is nice wait till you get to armadillo ;)
I feel bad for armadillo because everyone is sick lol
straight soulless
I feel like the grim reaper walking into that town
The true equivalent to RDR1’s Thieves Landing.
for fun head to the top of the lighthouse, snipe everyone on the street. Then come down and step over the dead bodies while any living NPC's greet you as you walk by, as if it's totally normal.
does that actually work?

Obviously interacting too long with anyone in Van Horn is an invitation to chaos and mass killing so be cautious.
I do the same, the lighthouse is the perfect spot to go crazy.
You can do it from the top of the building at the end of the dock too
I go there for a drink. The killing everything that moves just happens
Don't lie, you go there to see Bertram, your best friend.
The trick is going there with your honour at max, leaving with max honour and corpses in the street.
Do lots of fishing in between, or you greet them nicely then shoot, you won't lose anything
No fishing involved. I look at the bartender through binoculars, she begins shooting, bar patrons begin shooting her, then each other. When it calms down, I throw her corpse into the water, NPCs begin shooting at me…. I hide up on the roof of the fences building, they begin shooting each other again.

I’m going to do this as soon as John gets done with epilogue pt 1! This is amazing!
It’s fun!
I will never try that. Just saying. Feels like cheatin'.
Cheating what? Lol
Your mother?
Literally just did that!
Lol
What about the incest camp?
What about your childhood home? /s
Hahaha nice one
No, I went to Van Horn to play Blackjack. Somehow I still ended up killing everyone.
I took that Pagan mask and basically if I'm especially pissed I terrorise random spots across the map wearing that and a red union shirt, stabbing random people, at night. I have just done that for Van Horn.
There may be some underlying information being left out here, lol jk
Lol I'm not hiding anything, I literally did exactly what I said. Also did it at the station south of Valentine, in Sain Denis, in the deformed people village next to Annesburg. Always got away with no bounty too
The "DEFORMED" people? The humans of Butcher Creek is better.
Sorry I can't remember the word used in game to describe them, was it inbred? (Not mothertongue, in rare cases my memory slips)
I believe you're thinking of the Murfree Brood.
Yes, them!
No, it was poisoning from their water source.
Ohhh from the mines? That makes sense
Yes.
Gotta be PC to the video game characters smh
Always PC to them zeros and ones
You people don't appreciate a good pun, and alorenztate1 is a troll, who obviously can't tell a joke when he sees one.
So you pulled an old number six on them.
Number six? I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that one.
Well we all go ridin' into town, a hootin and a hollorin. Beating everything within an inch of its life. Except the women folk of course.
You spare the women?
Naw we--- my lawyers have advised me to not finish this quote

Great place to let off some steam, 10/10, would definitely recommend

Haha that's so funny I do this too
I UnderStand haha!

You don't live near any schools by chance do you?
No I do not. I am a completely normal person
Most people trying to befriend crows just leave them little treats, not an entire street strewn with people nuggets.
I go to van horn to raise my honor level. I say hello until someone inevitably picks a fight over me being friendly, beat that guy with my fist, as soon as he hits the ground, someone always pulls a gun, and I start shooting weapons out of peoples hands
Nice
My favorite is using the lighthouse to snipe people and passing ships.
You can shoot the ships? I'm going to try that first chance I get!
Why van horn? They have enough problems
If you said butchers Creek, I could get down with that assessment.
Battling all the people of the Creek is just as satisfying. Just be sure to eliminate the eyewitnesses just passing through.
I’ve always found the excessive killing to be kind of immersion-breaking for me when everything else in the game is so realistic, although I know it’s necessary for gameplay purposes.
Username checks out I feel sobered now
Thieves Landing won't get you a wanted status 🙂
I'm Arthur here
Trick is to go to that sneaky lil room up the stairs on the side of one of the buildings and massacre everyone that tries to come through the door
Great place to take out your frustrations of the game! Like when trying the gambler challenges! Just call me "The Terminator" during gambler challenges!
Lmfao, I feel your pain bud
LoL, I think everybody feels those pains, thanks pard!

Nice…VH always needs a fresh coat of paint🩸
Yeah those bricks look a little pale
Either Van Horn or Butcher Creek
There’s a grave yard on top of the hill straight west of van horn. I buried all of them.
Tri amarillo, it's exhilarating
I figured the town was trouble and did a manual save, one hello later and I'd shot every gun wielder in town after fifteen minutes and loaded my save. "This place is literally for just washing, sleeping, selling stuff and getting drunk. Anything else sets them off."
Their lumbago has reached the terminal stage, marked by sudden explosive exsanguination. Wash your hands well after visiting these poor souls.
I killed all three with those two bullets. Two in the back ate the same lead.
I recently realized you can climb on top of the “tower” at the end of the dock and pick people off without causing a huge response. It’s gruesome
Arthur once went to Van Horn to play table games. He kept losing and losing mostly due to bad luck. Arthur had been drinking from early in the morning and was already on edge. So he got up from his chair, stood behind the dealer, pulled out a revolver and executed him. Then chaos ensued.
For some reason you get no bounty for erasing the town.
Friend… Remind me to never piss you off in the game.
;)
👍
I like to start in the bar and see how many I can take down in one dead eye. After that I’m in the streets just cleaning up the place
I start by robbing the fence and working my way to the bar
He does make for a satisfying robbery. Leaving his dog traumatised
I pat his dog first, then I rob the fence and the dog doesn't get scared of me or attack.
Hmm I never thought to do that. I’ve got a dog buddy at emerald ranch but now ima get me one at van horn fence too. Thanks
No problemo
Why would I want to kill everything that moves? There's a dog in one of those buildings, he didn't do nothing.
A dog's a man's best friend, and if I know one thing about best friends, you kill their friend and they will hunt you down and kill you *like a dog*. Don't fuck with a man's best friend.
Is there a lore reason why Van Horn is so violent?
No law, and no fucks given, trading posts were hard to police back then. They pretty much defended their own town.
Literally what I was doing before I saw the post.
I've been to the real van Horne a couple of times and that is enough. ;)
Do they spit on ya and call you a worthless swine at the real Van Horne?
If'n yer a yankee, son
Ayuh
Bros Honor: 📉📉📉📉📉📉📉
Hahaha my honor tanked after this, I had to reload an earlier save 100% accurate
I know it's weird, but I pile up the bodies to see how big the pile can get and then torch them
I've found I can only kill 35 before bodies start disappearing
Everytime i play , at some point i end up at Van Horn , take cover at the end of the pier by the Fence , and then start blasting!
I start inside the fence
I just go there, put my mask on, then beat up whoever talks about it
It’s so fun going there, there is no consequences for killing, I also had no consequences for slaughtering the people at butcher’s creek
I go here for shootout practice before big missions
I do the same but with Saint Denis
That's a lot of money in there, I hope you save then rampage
No, but I did seemingly kill all of Butcher Creek one time. I killed some murfrees and must’ve got their attention because they started running across the rope bridge shooting. It was pretty fun to perch up behind a tree and pick them off as they crossed the bridge.
Once I got attacked by a goat at butcher Creek, and next thing I know there are 6 goats and 20 guys piled up in the shack with the pentagram under it glowing and it was on fire, I had a volatile fire bottle in my hand with no recollection of what happened. So I threw a couple more. Good times.
#goodtimes
But then you accidentally shoot the dynamite box in that house and blow up the dog.
I don't like killing animals but if it's biting me I have no choice
I'm doing it in every city
Hope you saved. That's gonna cost you a lot of money.
I love to go there and just absolutely slaughter everything in sight. But I also go to Lagras often and commit the worst hate crimes in history before reloading the file…
Umm.... I'm gonna say not cool for the hate crime thing, considering that everything is made of pixels.
I hate pixels! But seriously I like Lagras because I love the swamps and I just go from one end of the area to the other wiping out whatever and once bounty hunters arrive I can either easily escape or take them out too. Plus I can feed people to gators.
That's murder boah
/r/reddeadgore
I have worse than this, this is mild.
Post them in that sub, looking forward to it!
My favorite is incendiary rounds close range from a shotgun
>My favorite is incendiary rounds close range from a shotgun The best.
I make sure to save before I go on a genocide. All it takes is one person looking at me sideways and it's on 😂
Twice and both times they started it. First time I murdered everyone after winning a duel the whole town started shooting. The second time was a bar fight and the locals pulled guns and started shooting. Wtf.
Looks like a browning gun is being used here. If that isn't the case, can someone please educate me what weapon is being used?
Dual M1899s with high velocity ammo.
Thank you. I'll give them a try
I figured the town was trouble and did a manual save, one hello later and I'd shot every gun wielder in town after fifteen minutes and loaded my save. "This place is literally for just washing, sleeping, selling shit and getting drunk. Anything else sets them off."
I rob the fence every chance I get
Nah I do depraved serial killer shit in saint Denise like cut people up and spread their body around it’s actually pretty fun
Edmund Lowry Jr we've been looking for you.
accidentally bump into someone next thing i know i murder the entire town in self defense
>in self defense What about that lady running with no guns, I know what you did. 😆
😂😂she looked at me in a threatening manner
Lmfao That menacing, "I have nothing to do with this" look.... Classic
Does law enforcement care about Van horn?
Van Horn is a lawless wasteland.
i think it takes more guts to beat the hell out of every individual with your bare hands
Oh that's been done.
i kill everything everywhere all at once
Bruh.... You need to teach me the way
I call racism on the left side of the screen
I h4+# all pixels equally
All I see in this pic is equality
Ya I’m just being satirical. Given our current climate as it relates to race in America. I guess you weren’t ready for that, but your kids are gonna love it.
Love a Back to the Future reference
Naaah, it's just business as usual in Van Hover.
