Trivia

• The Bolt Action Rifle can be obtained in the mission but has to be done exactly as shown here:
  • Arthur and Javier will silently kill two Bounty Hunters when Trelawny provides a distraction. Then, Javier and Arthur will begin to proceed up the valley towards the Bounty Hunter camp. The first two Bounty Hunters in this valley - especially the one on the LEFT of the other Bounty Hunter carries and drops the Bolt Action Rifle if you kill him first. You MUST kill him, not just wound or otherwise alert the pair to your presence as he will swap it out for a Carbine Repeater and will not drop the Bolt Action Rifle upon death.
• The machete can be obtained in this mission by killing the bounty hunter attacking Charles before going up the hill.
• Do not waste time in looting everything at the Bounty Hunter camp after the mission - as you will soon recieve a WANTED status prompting several lawmen to turn up.
