RDR2 Rumour Mill - The Great Treasure Hunt

[Kirsty]

The devil makes work for idle hands...

With little news on the RDR2 frontier in several months, the RedDeadNet community on GTAForums has created their own by trawling the Internet for hidden references to the game. None of this list confirms or denies any details, but we're having a lot of fun speculating in the General Chat thread just to pass the time and we'll use this as an archive to compare to once the game is officially out, Mythbusters style. The bounty belongs to those who find the treasure, so if you take from here, quote your sources. thanks.

Plausible finds so far...
