Chapter 3: Clemens Point
“ | The gang got run of Valentine after an altercation with the railway magnate, Leviticus Cornwall, who has grown tired of having his trains robbed by gangs of outlaws. Afraid that the routes westwards were being watched by Pinkerton agents, the gang moved south and east and are now hiding at Clemens Cove, near the town of Rhodes. Rhodes is a rundown town that has lost a lot of its Antebellum charm, and is in the grip of a feud between two old local families, the Grays and the Braithwaites. Dutch and Hosea hope to use this dispute to their advantage. |

Trivia
- Out of Arthur's 6 chapters, Chapter 2 is the only one where, discounting Milton revealing Mac's death, no gang members die (Davey is killed in Chapter 1, Sean in Chapter 3, Hosea and Lenny in Chapter 4, Molly in Chapter 5 and Grimshaw and Arthur himself in Chapter 6).
- During part 2 of the epilogue, John becomes indebted to the bank. Even if the player acquires the indebted sum of $465 or more outside of the main missions, the money can't be used to pay off the debt and the player must instead complete the storyline missions that result in John making the payments.
