Fleeting Joy Red Dead Redemption 2 Mission
Group: Chapter 5 - Guarma
Category: Story Mission
This mission begins automatically after completing the Dear Uncle Tacitus mission. When you get to Lakay, you'll meet the rest of your gang there.
When the night comes, Dutch will also join the gang and soon afterwards Bill will arrive.
Unfortunately, Bill showed incredible irresponsibility while searching for the place where the gang is currently residing. As a result, the building in which you are staying will be surrounded by the Pinkertons' agents, who will soon start shooting at you with a machine gun.
Arthur is reunited with the gang at Lakay. Milton arrives with his Pinkertons, and attacks the camp.
