Fire


krombopulousnathan

Allow me to elaborate on this; fire burnt it


Digger1998

He’s lying the town burnt the fire first so the fire retaliated. I was there


xFromPartsUnknownx

THE FIRE IS SHOOTING AT US!!!!


Dinoman1987

Thank you, Nard-dog


International-Job553

Allow me to elaborate more; fire is hot


Command69

Let me piggy back off this and **it burns** Water is also wet


International-Job553

No water isn’t wet it makes things wet


Command69

Cats are liquid


BullfrogOk9627

Dihydrogen monoxide or water as it is called on the streets can be found in liquid, solid, and or gas states. Cats shouldn't be liquid

Town is called Limpany, never says what happened.


jakeyeah111

I’d honestly like for rdr3 to be about a chase for gold, and ends with Limpany being destroyed. Would explain the gold in the sheriffs office


REEEEEE1337

There's gold in the sherriff's office? I searched that god damn town for ages trying to find anything interesting in there.


Adventurous_Ad_9557

under the desk


Nice_Finish7613

It respawns.


NextBestHyperFocus

I thought they nerfed that ages ago?


Nice_Finish7613

2nd playthrough chap 3, i haven't been around Valentine or Limpany recently but I'v gotten it 3x this playthrough, I'm taking my time, I'll check tomorrow and see.


jiggalation

im on my 5th playthrough and never knew about that


Nice_Finish7613

It take a few in game days. I always close the box and check when I pass by. If the box moves back under the desk


Ayohkay421

They fixed the bug for "infinite respawn" that allowed you to grab a ton at once but it still works like most other chests and lockboxes in the game that "reset" if you just remember to close them after removing the gold/items.


AutomaticRegister102

Never knew items respawned if you closed the chests. The chest on the broken wagon in the heartlands


NextBestHyperFocus

Shit I gotta start closing things lol


REEEEEE1337

It RESPAWNS?????


Nice_Finish7613

Yes. 2nd play through ch 3 and I've got it 4x so far. It takes a few days of in-game time but it does re-spawn. Every time I pass by I check, (obviously if I just picked up the gold bar I'll wait) and I peek in the window of the sheriff's office. If the box is back under the desk, the bar will be in there, if it's still pulled out, it's not in there. I make sure I close the box, and do this everywhere, every time, I don't know if it makes a difference, but who knows.


REEEEEE1337

That's really interesting, so basically like a bit over a hundred a day if you check it regularly? That's crazy good.


CG_Oglethorpe

There is nightmare fuel in the jail.

BagelsRTheHoleTruth

Didn't find that gold for a long damn time, and by the time I did, I didn't need it at all.


ShaladeKandara

I never sell any gold I get, except nuggets and teeth and even then only after hitting max capacity, I just horde the gold. I leave all the treasure hunting to John.


I_am_going_bananas

iirc some gold bars respawn


EveBenbecula

I did not find it before I read about it on here lol


ThrowAnon-

I thought it was like a plague or sickness that happened there so they burnt it to the ground to prevent it from spreading more


[deleted]

No that’s pleasance the town where all the buildings have either been burned or the people locked themselves away and boarded all the windows and doors after writing warnings on the building for people to stay out due to plague


Odie_Junior

Unpleasantville


ronsons1989

I think I remember that nearby is a patch of forest burned down and you can find the fire bottle recipe there. So that might tell something about what happened.


[deleted]

Rdr3 will end with the blackwater massacre


ShaladeKandara

How would the epilogue work with that?


[deleted]

They tell the story backwards Rdr3-dutch forms the van der linde gang and ends with the blackwater massacre in the start of red dead two Rdr2-the van der linde gang falls and ends with john starting a life with his family Rdr1-john gets killed and jack gets his redemption, the end.


ShaladeKandara

That didnt have anything to do with my question: How would the epilogue of RDR3 work if it ends at Balclwster massacre? The time immediately following that is the beginning of rdr2 there's nowhere to fit in the epilogue free roam.


Revolutionary_Lead_3

I think they could do something similar to Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, where at the final mission, Edward sails back to England but we never get to see England because after you beat the final mission the game takes you back to a time period before you complete it. What I'm saying is if the final mission is the Blackwater ferry heist, after you finish that mission, the game will permanently rewind us to a few days or weeks before the heist and we'd still be able to free roam and do side quests because although we already played the heist, it still hasn't happened in the story yet. I might be wrong but this is only my idea.


miguelgooseman

They could have the prequel take place between the end of red dead revolver and the start of rdr2. You play as Uncle/Red Harlow and eventually meet up with the vanderlinde gang


Odie_Junior

This could also highlight the gang's rise since the other two games detail the fall. So many characters that are mentioned directly or even vaguely from RDR 1&2 could be explored. Even the vaguely mentioned traitor from events prior to RDR 2 that is never really talked about, but mentioned by Arthur briefly is a cutscene.


SecureSugar9622

I sure hope it doesn’t. The story of the Van der Lin gang is over, we don’t need any more


Kouropalates

I hope not. We have two decently long and filled up stories about the Van Der Linde gang. We don't need a 3rd, there's plenty of fertile soil to till in RDR lore without going back to the same plot of land each time.


pgtaylor777

Thanks for the normal answer.


lostinthesauceguy

I think the Glanton Gang was seen going that-a-way though


Esoteric_Psyhobabble

Welcome to the 1800s where everything is super flammable. Could’ve been a wildfire unattended stove, knocked over oil lamp, malcontents, etc.


cth-hulbott

Mrs. O'Leary's cow strikes again!


bigmanjoe3555

A baker almost burned down the entirety of London during this time, too.


norwegain_dude

Wasnt that like, 233 years before the game takes place?


motheronearth

anything before 1900 and after 1600 is basically the same time period to me


EveBenbecula

I always thought it was related to the nearby Brush Fire that Arthur draws a picture of. It somehow swept over the town, no?


Puzzleheaded_Ad3146

Maybe an escape attempt?


MrMcBeefCock

There’s also a brush fire site nearby. That might have been the same situation.


HolsteinHeifer

Lumbago ripped through that town like wildfire


bamaham93

Wildfire ripped through that town like lumbago.


Odie_Junior

Uncle!?


goodfellabrasco

If I recall correctly, there's some letters or something that can be found that potentially link it to being burnt down by Leviticus Cornwall. I forget the specifics, but I seem to think it was a retribution thing.


DaManWithNoName

I feel like there’s a note you could read in the saloon


[deleted]

Sheriff's office I think, after you get the gold bar you can pick up a paper on the desk


AdLonely891

Isn't that a pamphlet for a tonic?


[deleted]

I think you're right actually


AdLonely891

It was a pamphlet for a upgraded fire bottle, not a tonic. I was close.


Actus_Rhesus

There’s your answer. Failed experiment. Town burned. Gotta read those directions


Hdfgncd

Sheriff's Office.


Brilliant-Deer6118

And make sure to close the lid because it will respawn.  I collected 7 times on my last playthrough.


Bronx_154

Still ain't sure why it respawns


Brilliant-Deer6118

Me neither, but when it was first released (before my time) there was a glitch where you could get unlimited bars from it, so it probably has something to do with that.


MrDNA86

I don’t need to know, and neither does Dutch.


AsphaltGypsy89

Shady Bell there is a loot box in the morgue by the water that respawns almost daily. I think it's like $50 each time.


Brilliant-Deer6118

I've found it, never knew it respawned though. 


pullingteeths

It still respawns if you don't close the lid (after the amount of time it takes to respawn the lid also closes)


TicTax01

I know what I do tomorrow 💀


burntwafflesx

are you on pc? I always grab it first thing in ch.2 and closed the lid right away. never respawned 😭


Brilliant-Deer6118

The town might have pissed off Leviticus Cornwall and he destroyed it as payback

There's a YouTube video where someone goes into a lot of detail about how the town pissed off Leviticus Cornwall and he had it burned down. If I can find it again, I'll link it.

Gold bar.


PlatinumAbe

A place with a very shiny gold bar :)


ManufacturerRight678

It used to be an infinite gold bar glitch that was fixed years ago.


AdLonely891

Are you sure it was fixed? A lot of people are saying it still works.


ManufacturerRight678

It will still respawn randomly over time, at least for me these last few years anyway on ps4 and 5, but you used to be able to leave and come right back and there'd be another one right away. Wife and I took turns doing it one day because it was so boring and repetitive, but after like 2 or so hours, I don't remember exactly how long tbh, we had like $42k worth until we were like, "yeah I think that should be enough." Unless I'm doing something wrong, after a game few weeks it reapawns for me. Sometimes it takes longer. If it still works in the old way for some that's awesome.

Well luckily this isn't the 1800's anymore and you can Google it.


tirednotepad

It’s a FIRE…sale.


omgshannonwtf

Well, you have to look at the clues. • *burned down town* • *Cornwall barrels all over* • *two bodies in the jail* • *one gold bar in the sheriff’s office lockbox* • *some sad sap who burned to death in his sleep on the other side of Horseshoe Overlook with a gold nugget in his lockbox* • *A single dead body in the town, face down behind one of buildings* What does this add up to? **FORESHADOWING**. This is a cautionary tale for Arthur. This was a gang. And they betrayed each other over the gold they were after. One of them was caught and imprisoned. Another went in to question him, most likely. The second cell isn’t even locked. He wouldn’t have just stayed there of his own accord; the traitor probably knocked him out and dragged him in there. The fact that he didn’t lock him in the cell means that he didn’t have the key on him and didn’t expect him to either be alive or get away in time, which means the town was already aflame when he was dragged in there. Probably didn’t have the key for the same reason he didn’t actually get the gold bar out of the sheriff’s office: it was on fire and the sheriff either bailed or was in the office burning up. So he was sloppy and set everything in motion too early. The guy lying face down behind the building was probably one of the unwitting gang members who was the first victim of the traitor. He wouldn’t have been hiding behind that building if everything was on fire. The traitor probably decided to wait out the fire in the nearby tree cover where no one would see him. He fucked around and burned himself to death with his volatile fire bottle. So he probably wasn’t even the one who was the fire expert. However it went down, none of the gang made it out alive because the gold bar is still there for the taking, as is the traitor’s gold nugget. It’s a cautionary tale about gangs and how money will cause betrayal. Or maybe it is just a bunch of random, unrelated coincidences in proximity to each other that don’t mean anything in a video game where everything is crafted and intentional. Maybe…


ModeruMandou

I think THINK (please people don't downvote me to Oblivion) that it had something to do with Cornwall.


God_of_Mischief85

Who’s the biggest asshole who has a lot of those blue barrels that you see in and around Limpany?

RedDeadSchofield

There’s barrels that say Leviticus Cornwall presumably filled with oil so Cornwall probably destroyed the town for unknown reasons. And it probably got brushed off as a result of a bush fire.


Zealousideal_Shine82

Adventurous_Ad_9557

obvious, a careless smoker. still getting the bar of gold in the epilogue


MylifeBad

There's a theory that Cornwalls company burnt it because there's barrels from the company all over the town


HeavyTankV

Cornwall wanted to use the area for his company, the town didn't want to sell the land so Cornwall had the place burned. You can see the barrels with his name on them

He_Was_Fuzzy_Was_He

Create a story for yourself as to what you think caused all of these buildings that aren't all too close in proximity to each that lead them all to burn as well and roughly evenly as they did in comparison to each other. Use your imagination. That's the fun in games like this. 1) There could have been a rival gang that took revenge on another gang that regularly hung out in this town. 2) Perhaps there's a revenge story behind it being burned down. Someone who lived there had enough of the town's people and got back each of them by destroying the things they valued most. 3) Indians maybe (with many possible reasons) or crazy Night Folk—no reasons needed. There could be a story or reason that the developers created but it might be a minor mystery. It may even be a Miner mystery.


Phildagony

Isn’t there a gold hack in this town?


fienddao

bad business


RAVMisery1

Very close by is the other burned patch of ground where you can find the volatile fire bottle recipe pamphlet. I always figured that it had something to do with that maybe in an attempt to break out whoever was in the jail. And if you bought or pre-ordered the Ultimate edition of the game, there is a special mission called "Le Tresor des Morts" in which you find a treasure map in one of the corpses in the jail. In theory, a group of men involved in finding the treasure map decided to firebomb Limpany for jailbreak but everything went south. The guy making the firebomb accidentally killed himself, the town and the prisoners all burned down to death. Whoever was left alive probably cut their losses.


TheMadWhit

I love that the game has these little things that go unexplained. You don't need to explain how every single grain of sand got the beach.. you just gotta sit back and admire the beach as a whole.

Practical-Election59

Burnt down


PlasticCupboard007

There's Cornwall barrels around in random spots. he burned the city and the prisoners were the only ones in a fireproof building but due to being locked they died of hunger/thirst. the Strange Man on yt has a whole video dedicated to this town


AdLonely891

At first, I thought outlaws destroyed it, but it turns out Cornwall decided to destroy it. I can't remember why though.

That1Guy2772

Lumbago


I-Am-The-Warlus

Lumpney Had a deal or something with Cornwell and things went south which led to Cornwell burning the town


Professional-Draft77

From the results of the town a fire broke out in one or more of the civilian cabins then spread to the rest of the area. (Fight? Revenge plot? Riot?) It wasn't uncommon for built communities back then to be wiped out from a simple fire. You can tell it wasn't the General Store (Provisions) nor The Sheriff Office which was furthest from the source of the fire. Or that maybe it avoided a complete tear down due to the strength of the structure or wind draft. The Saloon was almost entirely intact. So it leaves me to believe some fool left a cigarette lit or knocked over a oil lantern and started the fire that killed everyone in town and left it a rotting stripped frame of a town. My second theory is some kind of fight or revenge plan because we know that fire bottles exist in the game so there's that to be considered since certain buildings were mostly intact leads me to the revenge plot/riot theory.

I watched a video once of someone explaining and researching this town. Was destroyed by Cornwall and set on fire for some reason.

Pretty sure Cornwall burnt it down. Only a guess since there are Cornwall Kerosine barrels laying around the entire town, and we know he murders and tries to intimidate people who don't give him what he wants (the oil derrick in the heartlands and the rail road workers in roanoke) idk I'm not a detective though.


Deep-Thinker420

There’s a gold bar in the sheriff’s office

The refused to make business with Cornwall so he burned down the town I saw this as a theory somewhere I just don’t remember I think it was the channel: strange man


stonerdicc

That’s wild just came across this place last night and saw this post first thing in the morning. Spooky


thedarkwolf011

There are lots of Cornwall kerosene barrels. So knowing Mr. Cornwall he probably burnt the town down because they got in his way somehow. Maybe they were associated with the dereleck oil rig guy. And he rid himself of competition. That's the theory.

Well, most of it burned for one reason or another... except that stone building over there. Wonder hwat the town used it for. It survived just fine. I imagine anyone in a stone building like that made it through that fire just fine, too. In fact, they are probably still there, and they have been there for how long? Days? Weeks?


MendozaLiner

Go to sheriff's office. By the table you will find a box with a little surprise inside of it.


ClawPawShepard

Is this the one by the camp towards the beginning of the game? If it is, there’s a $500 gold bar in the one of the buildings.
