Red Ben Clempson is a legendary bounty target featured in Red Dead Online.

History[]

Background[]

Red Ben Clempson is the leader of the Red Ben Gang, an all-black band of outlaws who specialize in robbing trains. Although some consider Ben a hero for only robbing trains carrying wealthy passengers and cargo, the train companies have put a bounty on his head and even managed to get a criminal named Yellow Bill, who was crippled during one of his heists, to provide the location of his next job. Ben is described by his bounty notice as a tall, well-spoken man who dresses in tailored suits of red silk and demonstrates considerable skill with a gun.

Events of Red Dead Online[]

The player, upon purchasing a bounty hunter's license, must track him down in New Austin after speaking to Yellow Bill, who will reveal which train he intends to rob next but will demand payment for any further information. Upon boarding the train, the player will have to fight their way past all of Ben's henchmen, including riders who will shoot from the sides of the train, to reach him in the forward baggage car. Ben is a crack shot, so capturing him will be tricky.

Trivia[]

  • In order to avoid accidentally killing Ben, players should consider stopping the train before disembarking as the fall from a moving train can kill Ben.
  • Higher difficulties starting from four stars will feature multiple targets that all have to be taken in, however, they do not have to be alive. Also, like with some other legendary bounties on five stars, enemies except the targets will not show up on the minimap.
  • Red Ben may be a reference to real-life outlaw and gunfighter Ben Thompson.
  • Red Ben's attire and nickname could be a nod to Denzel Washington's character, Malcolm, from the 1992 film Malcolm X.
  • Despite being shown holding a Schofield Revolver in his introduction, he wields a Cattleman Revolver in combat.
  • He has a unique holster for his revolver.
  • Red Ben Clempson can give a big payout especially when his difficulty is 5 it changes on the time, but it is known that he pays more than $300 when on max difficulty and when on 3 difficulty it is over $200.
  • If the player brings Red Ben Clempson back to Yellow Bill alive, a unique dialogue will occur, with Ben claiming that he knew it was him who snitched; Bill swears that he hasn't told anything, but Ben does not believe him and vows to return for him.[1]
