Why Did John Kill Dutch?

The burning question on every Red Dead Redemption fan’s mind. John Marston, a former outlaw, was destined to play a crucial role in bringing down the outlaws gang led by Dutch Van der Linde. But how did he get to a point where he had no choice but to kill him?

The Fateful Story Behind

By the end of Red Dead Redemption 2, tensions within the gang had boiled over. The once-loved Van der Linde gang, once a thriving group of outlaws, had broken down into utter chaos. The constant bloodshed and betrayals made it evident that the party was nearing its end.

Key Factors Leading up to Dutch’s Downfall

So, what changed John Marston’s sentiments towards Dutch Van der Linde?

1. The Heist Gone Sour: A botched robbery at a local bank proved to be the final blow to Dutch’s leadership.

2. Micah’s Betrayal: Dutch trusted Micah way too much; the double agent had begun to manipulate the gang members, fuelling dissent and chaos.

3. Internal Conflicts: As distrust grew between the gang, internal power struggles broke out, pitting friend against friend.

When Abigail returned to Dutch and told them about Dutch’s plans without his authorization,

• Arthur, on behalf of themselves, got ready to settle scores by themselves.

He, to this day and to be a bit better at, decided to save the money Dutch and company stole as Dutch and him got killed on the top of Mount Hagen mountain.
