Red Dead Redemption 2 gets new fan mission that lets you save Arthur

What if we told you there’s a way to save Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2? That would be amazing, right?

Red Dead Redemption 2, a prequel to the 2010 game starring John Marston, is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time as suggested by its Metacritic score of 97.

Speaking of John Marston, it seems that this cowboy may have hit hard times, at least that’s what we assume after he set up an OnlyFans account.

Praised for its engrossing storytelling, immersive and vibrant open world, interesting cast of characters and fun gameplay loop, there’s a lot to love about Red Dead Redemption 2 from Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games.

At the heart of the RDR2 story is Arthur Morgan, a leading member of the infamous Dutch van der Linde gang, who we first got acquainted with in the original Red Dead Redemption.

As the headline of this article quite clearly suggests, we will be venturing into major spoilers, so you have been warned.

There’s a point in Red Dead Redemption 2 when Arthur Morgan gets tuberculosis, which back in the 1800s, was absolutely lethal.

It still can be lethal today but is treatable. However, back then, you were as good as dead.

I can remember distinctly when Arthur began to show the symptoms. I knew what was happening and I frantically Google-searched to see if there was a way in-game to save him whether it's a cure or a particular dialogue choice.

Sadly, there’s no official way to save Arthur which is why after I had finished Red Dead Redemption 2, I have never played it since. Hey, don’t judge me, Arthur is one of my favourite characters and I’m not putting him through that again, at least on my watch.

However, thanks to glorious mods on PC, you can save Arthur Morgan, courtesy of the perfectly named ‘Tuberculosis Tonic’ created by Sir Gremlin and it is available to download right now for free via NexusMods.

The mod in question “adds an immersive and cinematic mission when once completed, natively cures Arthur of tuberculosis and all of its effects”.

There are some additional steps that you need to take in Red Dead Redemption 2 for this mod to work successfully, so be sure to read the full description on NexusMods.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
