A Short Walk in a Pretty Town Red Dead Redemption 2 Mission
Group: Chapter 3 - Clemens Point
Category: Story Mission
To start this mission you must complete the Blessed are the Peacemakers mission and then meet Bill, Sean and Micah, who will be waiting for you near the bank in Rhodes.
Then you will walk down the main street of the city towards the saloon to meet the Grays and talk about the job they have for you.
Arthur, Micah, Bill and Sean go to meet some of the Gray boys in Rhodes to discuss a security job.
When you get close to the sheriff's office, it'll turn out to be an ambush. Sean will be shot by a sniper and a regular shooting will begin.
Note: Having Sawed-Off Shotgun as the first side weapon can prevent (or at least make it very difficult) to earn the gold medal in this mission, becouse this weapon can only fire two shots without reloading and one of the requirements to earn the gold medal requires to fire three shots (Arthur will automatically use the first weapon). So it is best to change it before the mission starts to some revolver.
Gold Medal Checklist
- Kill 3 lawmen in Dead Eye while saving Bill
- Complete using only sidearms
- Complete within 4 minutes 30 seconds
- Get 20 headshots
- Complete the mission without taking any health items

Objectives of A Short Walk in a Pretty Town
1. Fend off the ambushers
Remember that one of the requirements for a gold medal is that you only use a side arms. Aim for the heads of your opponents, because for the next requirement you need to get 20 headshots. Grays will attack you from all sides. Use covers to minimize the amount of damage, as you cannot use items that restore health. If you want to get enough headshots you need to be fast and kill your opponents before your friends do.
Eventually, Micah will tell you to go into the gun store from behind and to suprise and kill the enemies inside.
2. Enter the back of the gun store
Approach the back door of the gun store, kick the door out, then enter the shop and kill the enemies inside.
There's some ammunition on the table that you might need. Take it.
3. Fend off the attackers
Take a good position by the window or door and shoot at enemies who will be attacking you.
When you kill most of them, the others will start to retreat.
4. Follow Micah / Save Bill
Micah will head towards the sheriff's office to deal with the last of the Grays. Just in case, reload your weapon and make sure your Dead Eye meter is not empty, and follow him.
After a while, the sheriff and three other law men will come out, holding Bill as a hostage.
Arthur will automatically draw the first sidearm and Dead Eye will activate automatically. Mark at least three of them, including the one aiming at Bill, and pull the trigger. This way you will save Bill and complete one more of the requirements to earn the gold medal.
And this is actually the end of the mission. Your mates will take care of Sean's corpse to make sure he's buried properly, and you'll split up.
Note: After completing this mission, Rhodes and Caliga Hall will temporarily be in lockdown.
After completing A Short Walk in a Pretty Town you will get or will be able to get Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern.
