Though maybe they’d be less upset if they knew that Armadillo, at the time, was suffering a terrible outbreak of cholera. The first is that residents are miffed that the railroad had bypassed the town entirely in favor of nearby Armadillo. Traveling to the later as John Marston (going to Tumbleweed as Morgan isn’t recommended, as he’ll be recognized and captured as an outlaw of the Blackwater Massacre), reveals that Tumbleweed has more troubles than are apparent at first glance.
It’s unclear why Tumbleweed popped up in New Austin-perhaps there was gold in them thar hills of Gpatooth Ridge-but by Arthur Morgan’s time in Red Dead Redemption 2, in 1899, it’s a prosperous place. Tumbleweed may look quiet in Red Dead Redemption 2, but hustling and bustling will begin soon enough. For Tumbleweed, the latter was apparently the case. But in some cases, town were left derelict because residents couldn’t easily obtain the resources they needed via the railroad. Often, once those resources dried up, the populace moved onto greener pastures, leaving their once-bustling stores and residences empty. In the American west, many such abandoned towns were once thriving mining centers, places where people flocked to find fortune and glory through the likes of gold and silver. There are plenty of real-life American comparisons to the fake town of Tumbleweeds, from Bodie, California, to Centralia, Pennsylvania, ghost towns litter the country. In Red Dead Redemption, Tumbleweed is just dust in the wind. Let’s dive into the uncanny account of Red Dead Redemption‘s ghost town, Tumbleweed. Given what players learn about the town in Red Dead Redemption 2, it may be understandable that plenty of past terrors still “live” on in it in some form or another.
That under the right conditions one can come across everything from ghostly footprints leading in to the town to a spectral being “living” in the dilapidated mansion. In my own playthroughs, I’ve never seen any apparitions floating about in Tumbleweed, but I have read multiple accounts of just that.
Practically since the release of Red Dead Redemption a decade ago, players have known about Tumbleweed’s “ghostly” state, and many have sought to find evidence that its empty, ruined mansion is haunted. Located in the western part of New Austin, in the region called Gaptooth Ridge, lies this abandoned town with, thanks to storytelling in Red Dead Redemption 2, an uneasy history. No matter how an individual player navigates the main quests in Red Dead Redemption, one always ends rather roughly in Tumbleweed. Not much of a welcome committee in Tumbleweed in Red Dead Redemption.
