Red Dead Redemption 2 All Stranger Locations Map

Red Dead Redemption 2 has 26 Stranger Locations. This guide includes a map that will show you where to find all 26 Strangers and the starting locations of their missions in RDR2.

More Strangers become available gradually throughout the story. You can still do their missions after the story. The chapters on the map are just the times when they become available. Below you can find a map with all their locations as well as links to text walkthroughs that explain them in-depth. Most of them are quest lines consisting of multiple parts. After doing the first mission, a marker for the follow-up quest will become available a little while later (usually after 24-48 hours). If something is not available, you must progress a bit further in the chapter or check at a different daytime. Some are only available at day or at night, refer to the linked walkthroughs below.
