 is a location featured in Red Dead Redemption in the Gaptooth Ridge region of the New Austin territory.

Red Dead Redemption
The player's first encounter in the area is during the Irish mission &quot;Man is Born Unto Trouble&quot;. After which, the player can complete a gang hideout by talking with a man near the place and cleaning the site of Treasure Hunters and rescuing his friend, Floyd. Also, the Nigel West Dickens mission "Liars, Cheats and Other Proud Americans" takes place just south of this location.

The second segment of the Stranger side-mission &quot;Funny Man&quot; takes place in this location.

Outlaws to the End
The Outlaws to the End Co-op mission &quot;Walton's Gold&quot; takes place here.

Undead Nightmare
In the Undead Nightmare DLC pack, this is one of 23 locations that must be cleared of the Undead and then protected from re-infestation thereafter. Once the mine is safe, the player will receive Dynamite. There are 6 defenders of, all of them local miners or treasure hunters, and at least 2 of them will be found in the mines.

This is also the location of Chu Fook, the seventh missing person to be rescued in the Fort Mercer segment of the Missing Souls Side-missions.

Location
Travel to the south-west of the New Austin map. Once there, you have reached Benedict Point, head due-west. Look for where the Railroad starts to turn north. It appears as a "Danger" symbol on your fold-out paper map. Gaptooth Breach is a mine.

The entrance to the mining camp is just above the "G" in "Gaptooth Breach" on your in-game map (when fully zoomed in).

Description
Gaptooth Breach is a small, rural desert mining settlement, with a large mine complex. It is mostly made up of tents to house the resident miners and treasure hunters, however a few smaller wooden shacks and a couple of larger warehouses and offices exist. It appears many of the miners have criminal interests, like kidnapping, weaponry and treasure hunting.

Walkthrough
Upon arrival, a message will pop up telling you to meet the injured man at the crates, south of the mine. He will tell Marston that the miners jumped him and his friend Floyd, who were looking for a treasure inside the mines. He will tell Marston that Floyd is probably held in the railroad house, southwest of the mine entrance (it will be marked with a blue dot). The player does not have to free Floyd, but he will give some support that can be life-saving inside the mine. As soon as the player enters the mine, the treasure location will be marked on the map. Simply fight through the corridors shooting up the TNT crates and the oil lamps to clear out the enemies. When opening up the treasure chest, it will contain around $100-200 dollars, and Floyd will tell Marston that he can have it all, and sits on a box of dynamite. After leaving the room, the dynamite explodes, killing Floyd. It is not known if Floyd committed suicide, or accidentally blew himself up. Simply fight your way out of the mine to the mine entrance.

When going for the U.S. Marshal Outfit, be sure to clear out Gaptooth Breach before attempting a speed run as helping Floyd will take too long, and time is most important during your run.

Multiplayer
The Free Roam version of Gaptooth Breach requires the player to fight his or her way into the mine, secure the mine cart full of gold, and move the minecart along the track up to the hill where the shaft tower for the mine lift is. Enemies will periodically spawn along the route to stop the player as he or she moves the cart. The initial push toward the mine entrance requires players to fight through a large number of Treasure Hunters. During this assault, players will also be harassed by two men, both named Fletch Hillard, who fire Springfield Rifles from the ridge overlooking the mining camp.

In Free Roam, the mine in Gaptooth Breach has a weapon crate containing Dynamite.

It is also the only Gang Hideout in Free Roam that does not require the player to kill all of the enemies in order to complete the hideout. The player need only move the mine cart to the end of the track to finish the mission. Often, however, the player will kill all of the enemies in the mission in the course of accomplishing this; but unlike Pike's Basin, he or she will not be required to clear out any stragglers after completing the primary objective. There is an abandoned stagecoach parked near the end of the track with two horses hitched; this is one of the only places in the game where you can legally obtain a stagecoach for use. The stagecoach may not be driven until after the hideout is completed.

Gaptooth Breach is also the site of the cooperative mission Walton's Gold, which requires the players to fight their way into the mine, fill the mine cart with as much gold as possible before time runs out, and fight their way back out.

Social Club Challenge
A gang of treasure hunters is hoarding money and explosives in the mine located in Gaptooth Ridge. Muster enough courage and take back what they stole. Skills in robbery, knowledge of the local flora, and precision with a gun will all be required.

Objectives

 * 1) Collect $200 in loot from the gang
 * 2) Find 2 Desert Sage plants
 * 3) Get 5 headshots in a row

Reward

 * "Gun Set 3" Cheat
 * Gives the player the Double-Action Revolver, High Power Pistol, Dynamite, Henry Repeater, Rolling Block Rifle, and the Pump-action Shotgun.

Tips

 * At the top of the hill above the mine is a tower about three stories high. There is a shed right next to it, inside there is a lever used to activate the lift that goes in and out of the mine. This lift is fully functional and can be used at any time during the game. You may remember it being used in the mission, "Man is Born Unto Trouble". Marston uses it to get the gatling gun out of the mine.
 * Use the Treasure Hunter Outfit to finish the gang hideout without actually killing anybody.
 * It's rather easy to compltete Sharpshooter Level 10 challenge here, as when in the mine's tunnels it is near impossible to get flanked and should be done with a high ammo weapon such as the Mauser pistol or Evans repeater.

Trivia

 * One might notice that Floyd Brogles is dressed in pink, this might be a reference to the English psychedelic and progressive rock band Pink Floyd.
