Talk to Lenny at camp to start this mission. He tells you about a gang who were part of the south in the Civil War, and still think it’s raging thirty years later. They’re also weapons dealers, and Lenny wants to rob them of their weapons and of the pile of money they reckon they’re sitting on.

Follow Lenny on horseback to Bolger Glade. On your way, he discusses how the people here - further south, compared to the west - judge differently. Judge ‘’him’’ differently.

As you approach Bolger Glade, you find an abandoned old church, which Arthur makes a note of in his journal. He finds it interesting. Return to Bolger Glade later to investigate.

After hanging around there for a moment, a wagon, with what looks to be dynamite in the back, passes by. Arthur and Lenny follow the suspicious wagon to Shady Chelle.

Crouch down behind the wall opposite Lenny and discuss tactics. There are two options - shoot the dynamite, or send Lenny to draw more of them out.

Blowing up the dynamite will initiate the fight with a few casualties on the Raider’s side. Hang back for a bit to get some kills with a long range rifle, then push ahead, using rubble and objects as cover, covering Lenny.

After you dispatch the rest of the Raiders, look for weapons around the property.

The wagon with horses attached to it to the right is filled with new rifles. Approach it to prompt the next part of the mission.

Don’t worry - you’ll still have plenty of time to search after this.

Head into the house. The downstairs doesn’t have much, but upstairs you can find bourbon, money clips, a platinum watch, a premium Cigarette Cards pack. Use Eagle Eye to see where to search.

There’s also a lockbox at the shed outfront. Remember to loot the men, too.

When you’re done, head back out and join the wagon with Lenny. Follow the road marked yellow to get back to camp. When you get back to the church from earlier, though, three Raiders will intercept you.

Trying to defuse the situation won’t do much - they’ll still eventually shoot you. Activate Dead Eye as soon as they start shooting to take them out easily.

After taking care of them, you and Lenny will finish riding back to camp uncontested.

You’ll unlock the Bolt Action Rifle for completing this quest. Next up is Magicians for Sport.
