West Elizabeth: Edgar Ross Missions
Bear One Another's Burdens
From the start of the mission, the federal agents will give you new side arm, the High Power Pistol, which is superior to your old revolvers. Ride with the federal agents to the Serendipity, a wrecked fairy boat. Exit the vehicle and follow Agent Fordham. Move to the top of the boat where you'll find Nastas, the agent's informant, beaten and tied up. An ambush of enemies will appear, and Fordham will request that you carry Nastas. While carrying your ally, you'll be unable to take cover or defend yourself. While Fordham will provide some cover, it won't be enough to take out the foes. Be quick with Dead Eye mode to defeat the enemies while still in the open. The Dead Eye meter will drain with so many targets, so move behind walls and around corners to let it regenerate.
Once the enemies are dealt with, return to the car and let Fordham drive towards Blackwater. Part way through, the engine will die and you'll need to defend the car with Ross as Fordham repairs it. Quickly, take cover behind the rock on the far right and shoot the oncoming foes. The priority targets are the horsemen, as they will charge passed you and attempt to kill Fordham. Once the enemies are finished, Fordham will fix the car and take you to Blackwater, ending the mission.
Great Men Are Not always Wise
Dutch and his gang have held up a local Blackwater bank. Ross demands your assistance in dealing with the menace. From the start, climb the ladder ahead and reach the hotel's roof. Grab the sniper rifle rounds on the left and proceed to the building's edge. Join Ross and the rest of the agents in sniping any of the robbers making a break for it. After the exterior enemies are eliminated, exit the roof and charge through the bank's entrance. The robbers have taken hostages and are ready to execute them. Quickly enter Dead Eye to subdue the badguys and save the civilians.
Walk up the steps to the bank's second floor where you'll encounter Dutch. During a cutscene he will make his escape, so follow him with the agents' support. You'll come to a forest slightly north of Hennigan's Stead and will be assaulted by a large group of enemies. Even with the number of allies on your side, you'll need to rely on Dead Eye and a sniper rifle to take down the enemies safely. To the far left side is a shack that provides a good amount of cover. Let the agent's distract the enemies and move yourself behind the shack to gain an excellent flanking advantage. Kill the last of the bank robbers to finish the mission.
And You Will Know the Truth
For this mission you'll be manning a machine gun mounted on an armored car. For the moment Fordham, will leave the vehicle stationary while you sweep up the enemies. Because you have no way to take cover, you may have to expend a medicine or two in order to say alive.
After the first wave of enemies begins to retreat, Fordham will start driving the car in pursuit. Shoot down any enemies along the way, including a run away wagon. After a few minutes of driving, a cutscene will play and the car will be destroyed, ending the mission.
And The Truth Will Set You Free
Ride with the US Army to Cochinay. Assist your allies with storming through Dutch's hideout. You'll soon arrive at a mounted machine gun. Use it to destroy various TNT scattered around the camp and take out large numbers of foes. With the coast clear, advance towards a large gate. Here, you'll have to cover the army as they plant explosive charges. Enemies will appear above on both sides, so ready your rifle and be quick with your shots to help defend your comrades. After the gate is taken out, proceed forward to find Dutch at the helm of a powerful machine gun. Instead of a straight up fight, arm a sniper rifle and aim at the hanging lamp in the distance. Shoot down the lamp and the whole base will catch on fire, causing Dutch to flee. Pursue your enemy through the caves and up several ladders, eventually leading to a cutscene and the end of the mission.
