U.S. Marshals

US Marshals are the Law Enforcement around Blackwater. They are also a playable character in the Redemption Multiplayer. A marshal is the oldest form of law enforcement in the United States, Marshals in Red Dead Redemption are usually in charge of one county.



A notable member of the Marshals is Leigh Johnson; the Sheriff of Armadillo.

Once you gain a bounty of a $1000 or more the marshals themselves will try to hunt the player down.

Even in settlements like Armadillo, the marshals will still come into town and attempt to bring Marston down.

The marshals are relentless and never give up until they get their man. It doesn't matter where Marston runs or hides, the marshals will sniff him out.The only way to get these hounds of hell off your trail is to pay your fine or use a pardon letter.



Rockstar will soon release another social club challenge entitled "I Shot the Sheriff". Once completed you will have access to the Marshals' skins in the outfitter.

To complete this challenge, one must escape the US Marshals on a white Hungarian Half-bred in the achievement titled "Heading South on a White Bronco".
