"Shepherd" Virgil Edwards is a legendary bounty target featured in Red Dead Online. His bounty is only available for players who have obtained The Prestigious Bounty Hunter License.
History[]
Background[]
Called "Shepherd" by his followers, Edwards is the deranged leader of the 7th Generation, a cult of men and women of all races who can be easily identified by their handspun robes and the distinctive upside-down "7" carved into each of their foreheads. While Edwards himself has since gone into hiding, he has already begun to preach to his followers the need to prepare for the "Mercy", which authorities believe to be a massive, planned uprising against civil society in which the Shepherd and his acolytes will massacre everyone they consider unworthy of life.
Events of Red Dead Online[]
The player, upon purchasing a prestigious bounty hunter's license, must track Edwards' priests to their camps in Roanoke Ridge and kill them until they find evidence that reveals which location Edwards is hiding at. Upon being discovered, Edwards will start shooting at the player wearing an elaborate metal suit that protects him from bullets. The player must damage his armor sufficiently using explosives or powerful guns before he can be subdued. They must also fend off the remnants of his flock as they try to bring him in to the nearest Sheriff's Office.
Trivia[]
- When the player chooses a high difficulty (4-stars or more), aim assist will be disabled.
- Edwards' mugshot picture is on the Wanted poster, which is similar to the player's character creation mugshot.
