John Marston alongside a survivor during a Town Saving

Town Saving is an activity in the Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC Pack.

Description[]

Every time you enter a territory, some towns will be shown on your map with a '?' that says Status: Unknown. Upon arrival the town it will be under attack by the Undead, and it can then be saved. There is a bug, known for the Xbox 360, where if a town has been lost, it will show up some time later on your map as a '?', (unconfirmed on PS3).

When entering a town, there are two ways to save it:

1. Go to the survivor leader and give the survivors ammo, and then finish off the remaining undead.

2. Take out all of the undead without giving any survivors ammo, although this method may take longer.

By giving ammo or by killing four undead, the player completes one circle. Once all circles are completed, the player will then be tasked with finishing off the remaining undead. The number of circles usually depends on how many survivors there are in a settlement, however this may not always be the case.

Status[]

After saving a town it will come under attack again after five or six days. There are a few different statuses that a town can have:

  • Unknown: The player has never been to this town before, and it maybe under attack as soon as they go there.
  • Under Attack: When the player discovers most towns for the first time, they will be under attack. Usually after five to six in-game days they will come under attack again.
  • Overrun: Appears when a town comes under attack for the second time when it has not been saved the first time the player got the message it was under attack, with the only difference being more undead and more circles that must completed in order to save the town.
  • Safe: Appears when the player has saved a town.
  • Safe Zone: This town is always safe. There are three safe zones, which are Fort Mercer, El Presidio, and Casa Madrugada.
  • Lost: If the player does not help survivors in a town and they are all killed, the town will be lost forever. While clearing out the undead will allow the town to return to be labled "safe", it will usually come under attack more often. The player will receive the message "(name of town) is lost".

A glitch may cause towns to suddenly become "Lost" with no warning and no prior "Under Attack" or "Overrun" status, this can happen at any time and the glitch can occur on both consoles.
