Howdy, partner. It seems that the quality of the images used on this page ain't quite what we expected. You could definitely help out the wiki by uploading some.
You feather-brained sons-of-bitches! Have you lost your damn minds? What's the safe doin` out here?! What if someone saw it? They´d go straight to Marshal Johnson in Armadillo and tell him where it was, wouldn´t they? I don´t know! Sometimes I swear you fellas must be dumber than a fencepost.
Higbee is wanted for petty theft and can be captured or killed depending on the player's choice. He is a member Walton's Gang and apparently high-ranking.
Interactions[]
Red Dead Redemption[]
Rufus can be found hanging out in Armadillo, often loitering around the Saloon with fellow gang members. He can also be found in Twin Rocks although he will be hostile unless the player is wearing the Walton's Gang Outfit. Sometimes he can also be found in the Armadillo livery doing odd jobs, like chopping wood.
Undead Nightmare[]
In Undead Nightmare, Rufus can be found defending the settlement of Twin Rocks where he is on the roof of the middle building and is often the survivor leader. If Twin Rocks is saved and Rufus survives, he will stay on the roof, however, he may later move to sit around the fire with his comrades.
The player may also come across Rufus fighting off a horde of the undead. Without the player's assistance, he will be killed. If he is saved, he will reward the player with a few bullets of a random ammo type. Alternatively, if the player does not possess a treasure map, he may reward the player with one.
He is one of the few characters who can appear as both, living and undead.
Judging from his quotes during the gang hideout missions and the fact that he is the survivor leader in Undead Nightmare, it can be assumed Rufus holds a rather high position in the gang, if not only below Walton directly.
If the Player saves him from a horde of the Undead in Undead Nightmare, he will comment that he is heading up North where it is colder and that he heard that the Undead Freeze if it gets too cold, this is however untrue as the Undead appear all over West Elizabeth where he is headed.
