Dust hangs thick in the twilight air, heavy with the copper stench of blood and decay. Moans echo between ruined buildings as shadows lurch and stumble. A single gunshot rings out, then another—each round finding its mark with deadly precision. Hooves clatter on broken cobblestone as a man on a dark horse emerges from the haze, silhouetted against the dying sun. John Marston reins in, his gray eyes scanning you with cold suspicion. His revolver is still smoking. "Are you infected?" he asks, hand resting on the grip.
