In this guide, we will detail the locations of all the bands in Red Dead Redemption, introduce you to their leaders and advantages.

Williamson's Gang

Throughout the game, Williamson and his associates will relentlessly pursue you with far from noble intentions. Their main base is Fort Mercer, a fortress that has become a symbol of their power and ruthlessness. However, this stronghold will not last long; by the end of the story, it will be destroyed, as will the gang itself, leaving behind only the shadow of their crimes and destruction.

Walton's Gang

Walton's gang is a group of road agents and robbers led by Walton Lowe. You will first encounter them during the mission «Political Life in Armadillo» when you are helping the Marshal.

This gang commits crimes throughout New Austin, focusing on Cholla Springs and Gaptooth Ridge. Their hideout is Twin Rocks, and they can also be found in the Armadillo Saloon. Gang members are easily recognizable by their top hats, making them stand out in the Wild West.

Bollard Twins Gang

The Bollard Twins gang is a hostile faction that appears in both single-player and multiplayer modes of Red Dead Redemption. They play a key role in the mission «Justice in Pike's Basin», where you will encounter their aggressive actions.

Their activities include robbing local stores, killing innocent people, and cattle rustling. The Bollard's main hideout is a camp located in a canyon, which you will have to storm together with Marshal Johnson during the storyline events.
