What are the 5 Secrets Revealed By Store Owners in Red Dead Redemption 2?

We all know RDR2 is a secret-packed game; you can even hear about some secrets at various stores and saloons. Just hang around a store owner, and they'll start gossiping at one point. Let's start with the first secret.

The Bastille Barkeep

Many of you have probably stumbled upon Robert Freeman in the Saint-Denis saloon.

You can hear about his secret from the saint denis fence, The barman at LA bastille; the word is that some women pay him to enjoy the charisma their sad, spoiled husbands forgot.

You can figure out that Robert Freeman is a male prostitute from these words. The next two secrets we can learn from the Tumbleweed Bartender.

Frank Heck's Death

The first one is about Frank Heck.

He's a famous gunslinger out in the west.

The only place you can find out what happened to him is at the Tumbleweed saloon. Can you believe Frank Heck? Gunned down in this very building, wish you'd got a look at that Feller.

Frank Heck gets killed in this very saloon, and it is the second secret you can hear from the barkeep.

Jeb Blankenship

See Young Jeb Blankenship? There's an odd one; you can find him sleeping out by the horse trough. Jeb is the stranger you can encounter in RDR; he wants you to find his only love.

His love turns out to be a horse named Lucy, that's why the Bartender found him sleeping out by the horse trough.

Doc's Gone Fishing! The next gossip you can hear is at the strawberry general store.

Feller, I used to fish with is a doctor in strawberry. I haven't heard from him in months, though.

There's a gone fishing sign at the doctor's; the office is always closed whether you're playing as Arthur or John. It may look like he died, but we know that didn't happen. Since he hired Abigail during the wheel mission, it is a cool reference to the Red Dead revolver.

Since the devs didn't do interiors for most stores, they came up with these jokes as a pretty funny excuse.

It was closed by order of Sheriff Bartlett! Out of business!

The gone fishing sign is a nice tribute to the first Red Dead game.

The extinction of 1915

You have to head to the Saint-Denis general store for the last one.

Man in the saloon said we're all doomed come 1915, war an extinction he said, you have to tell you'd like to see. It isn't a reference to WW1 since it started in 1914; it's a pretty meta-reference to the entire Red Dead franchise. At the end of RDR1, you can play as Jack Marston.

These events are set in 1914, it is as far as the Red Dead timeline goes, this line might be a reference to the fact that the RDR characters didn't exist in 1915. There's also another way of looking at it. Man in the salOon said we're all doomed come 1915, War an extintion he said that I'd like to see you have to say.

The man who said it could be Francis Sinclair, the time traveler. If GTA and Red Dead are separate universes, it means that Sinclair belongs to the GTA universe.

Since he's a member of the Epsilon program.

If anyone knows what happens to the RDR World, it's him.
