Though, it is arguable that the quiet moments ofRed Dead Redemption 2 become even more beautiful in contrast to the constant struggle for peace. Indeed, a second playthrough of the game is almost impossible, not owing to any new features or mechanics, but for the knowledge of what's yet to happen to these cherished characters. Yet, Dutch was already struck by bad luck before the player steps into the shoes of Arthur Morgan, having had to abandon a life-changing amount of cheddar after a robbery spiralled out of control.
The Blackwater Massacre, as it comes to be referred to, led to the loss of $150,000 from the ferry that the gang targeted. Due to the arrival of Pinkertons and police to the area, the heist went wrong swiftly, causing Davey Callander and Jenny Kirk to be killed. John Marston and Mac Callander were seriously injured, with the latter eventually succumbing to his wounds, Sean MacGuire was captured by bounty hunters, and apparently Dutch shot an innocent woman in the head. The sum had to be hidden with the location only known to Dutch and Hosea Matthews as the gang escaped to the mountains to evade the law enforcement.
Obviously, the stash was never recovered, becoming one more mistake that Dutch had to answer for. A fan who was curious over how $150,000 is converted to today's money did a little digging and this in fact turns into an immense $5.4 million that is literally just lying there until some metal prospectors stumble upon it.

"For 5 million me and the boys would of burned Blackwater to the ground," said one. Well, it's lucky that the town is fictional. "With that they could have BOUGHT Tahiti," grumbled another player.

In a recent post on Reddit, a Red Dead Redemption 2 player decided to work out roughly how much money Arthur Morgan and the gang left behind in Blackwater. A screenshot uploaded with the post shows that the $150,000 dollars that Van der Linde was trying to retrieve would be worth over $4.5 million today.
Yes, in Red Dead Redemption 2, during the epilogue, you can find the money from the Blackwater heist and the camp funds [1]. The epilogue allows players to tie up loose ends from the main storyline, and there are opportunities to recover the stolen money and potentially use it for personal gain.
(SPOILER) Dutch's chest remains in Beaver Hollow if you chose the honorful option. Just discovered this, but if you go back as John, if you chose to go with John, Dutch's chest will still be under the wagon in Beaver Hollow, untouched.
The only time Blackwater is properly visited as Arthur Morgan is during the mission, "The First Shall Be Last," in which the player must sneak to the outskirts of Blackwater, avoiding Pinkerton patrols, so they can meet up with Charles Smith, Josiah Trelawny, and Javier Escuella in an effort to save Sean MacGuire.
According to accounts of the incident, the ferry was carrying $150,000 of bank money. Dutch van der Linde saw an opportunity and decided to rob the boat.
After all of that is completed, crack and open the safes, open the chests, and open the armory near the bank manager's desk. Then, sneak out the back door and ride like the wind out of Armadillo. Compared to Armadillo Bank, Blackwater Bank is fairly easy to rob.
Eliminating a Rival for Power: One theory suggests that Dutch kills Micah to eliminate his rival for power within the Van Der Linde gang. Dutch realizes that by eliminating Micah, he can secure his position as the leader and walk away from the mountain alive and unchallenged [1].
If Rockstar maintains a similar development cycle, a potential Red Dead Redemption 3 release might unfold between 2026 and 2030—eight years after RDR 2 and five years after GTA 6.
After you completed Epilogue 1 as John Marston ... Go back to Aberdeen Pig Farm The couple had moved away but they forgot Arthur's money that hidden behind the portrait of their mother. Just remove the picture to receive Arthur hard earn money that was taken from him and plus $20 Grand after you find dutch.
Arthur's wallet of money is also cleared out, but John receives $20,000, which is more than enough to buy anything. A few missions into the epilogue, John does inherit all of Arthur's outfits and weapons.
Analyst estimations place the game's combined development and marketing budget between US$370 million and US$540 million, which would make it one of the most expensive video games to develop.
