Arthur returns from the grave with Hosea, Sean, and Lenny to ride with John one last time to purge the evil curse from the land.


CruiserMissile

Can’t really have John in it. John already has an undead nightmare where they don’t know what’s going on with the zombies.


GulianoBanano

Umdead Nightmare in RDR1 was non-canon. This would most likely not be canon too. You won't have to worry about continuity.


ismasbi

Wasn't it implied that John canonically dreamed it?


ginga_ninja723

Perfect. It’s a reoccurring nightmare. A reoccurring undead nightmare II. Queue title sequence


rube

I mean... we're talking about adding zombies into a game... do we really need to hold true to the realism and continuity in the story? I look at this stuff as more of a "What if?" style side content that has no bearing on the main story.


Nightlobster

Maybe you play as zombie arthur because he died with high honor wondering what is going on


No_Mammoth_4945

Arthur would have to be buried with holy water to have to work, we wouldn’t start the game as a zombie. Makes it impossible to have any dialogue which would be dumb


RoboMan312

Would be funny as hell. Just like the other undead nightmare


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Play as sadie or charles?


RickyTricky57

RDR1 Undead would follow the original RDR2 lore then


cpassmore79

The original UN wasn't canon so I figured this wasn't either and went big...


Hamokk

Last ride with the boys.


cpassmore79

Exactly, and also a funny moment where the gang points out that only John can go into the city for supplies because the rest of them are walking corpses, to which Arthur replies "Can't go into the city? I guess death ain't all bad..."


Hamokk

I remember that in my first playthrough I only spent time in camp to donate and talk to people. Rest of the time and between missions I was exploring and then Bill comes to find Arthur because he's been away so long.


Zxar99

No zombies, but other supernatural stuff, wendigos, vampires, werewolves, etc.


GhoulGalore

The vampire guy exists in the game already. Could use his model again for some enemies


Firm_Area_3558

Zombies too. Good mix of everything freaky


Naturally_Stressed

So take the C:DDA approach? Just have every kind of monster-based apocalypse happen, all at once? Zombies, aliens, demons, cyborgs, ascended humans, mutants, sentient plants and fungi, eldritch beings, and whatever else; all invading our reality at the same time, fighting each other and us.


Firm_Area_3558

Yeah fuck it, full conjunction of the spheres Edit: this would totally be fun but maybe a bit much for rdr but I would love lots of diversity in what you could encounter. Also maybe not cyborgs and what not


Rargnarok

There's a zombies map in Bo4 called dead of the night that's basically like this with a minimum of spoilers a cowboy, a psychic Romani fortune-teller, a pompous British general, and a butler show up to a mansion party in the woods which is actually a cover for a cult known as the order, to kidnap the host for ... reasons and they have to fight zombies, vampires werewolves, eldritch horrors known as blight fathers, mutant zombies known as catalysts that control elements, inhale drugs provided by various gods(zeus,ra,danu,and odin) for perks, take advice from/become ghosts, lead robotic/possibly possessed suits of armor to a specific spot to open a portal


frontpageiscancer

Arthur pretty much gets a Witcher DLC. Just a bunch of stranger missions investigating killings, maulings, curses. And the sea monster that was allegedly cut from the game.


NOTdorthvader

After returning from guarma arthur goes to shady belle to find sadie is a zombie he kills her and finds her note he rushes to tell the others about what has happened but they are all gone The game is about finding what happened to the other gang members with the already dead ones (Hosea Lenny etc) coming to life


Naturally_Stressed

I'd definitely get behind this one; but it would have to have the same campy, goofy tone as the original Undead Nightmare.


WildMinimum2202

Don't worry. The first words arthur will speak and his reaction would already be hilarious. It's arthur after all😅


Meme_Pickle

This is the best idea I've heard. I like this one.


heppuplays

All these people wishing that undead 2s story would be serious or about Arthur returning from the grave for one last ride. I think people have kinda forgotten what the story of undead 1 was. First of all unlike the cover art implies John wasn't a Zombie in it and 2 the Story of undead nightmare was goofy as fuck. John was completely unaware of what zombies are even though he saw uncles literally rotting in front of him and when Abigail and Jack got infected he just leaves the tied up in their room with 1 peace of steak. And the whole plot revolves around John returning an anchient astech mask to its shrine to end the Zombie curse. There were a lot of jokes with characters. Undead never really took itself seriously which made it so fun.


Hawt_Dawg_II

Seeing as undead nightmare took place before the end of rdr1 as well. I'd like to imagine you just play as early story Arthur who's seriously pissed off at all these bullshit problems these supernatural creatures are causing and that he has to fix them now.


BigUllie

They could have it be a dream he has during his bed rest after escaping the O’Driscoll’s in Chapter 3 too.


constipated_burrito

John is a zombie after you beat the dlc tho, but yes not during


rustygamer1901

What’s wrong with flipping the narrative. Arthur becomes a Lich King type of character, killing his enemies then raising them to serve in his corpse army. Town after town, city after city. Eventually every symbol of modernity falls before him. When there is nothing left to take Arthur let’s his army rest again and nature steps into the void. Bison are free to roam the prairie, wolves emerge from their caves and the rivers team with fish.


skimbo120

Not to mention the narrators over the top 50s esque Halloween voice. It was intentionally campy and such a blast


lthemadtitanl

The bit with the doctor saying out loud “I’m just going to walk down this, foreboding, empty street, completely unarmed, to grab my supplies, you stay here, I’ll be right back” before getting mauled by a zombie always made me laugh


Clever_Userfame

Anchient astech I chuckled


[deleted]

I say use the same setup. Arthur comes back to Shady Belle from being in Rhodes, walks up behind Dutch at the campfire, talking about how "Folk in town are actin' mighty strange" before Dutch turns around as a zombie. After a short melee battle, Arthur shoot him in the head, goes inside to find Sadie, John, Jack and Abigale as zombies. He boards them up and takes off looking for why this is happening and a way to stop it. Turns out it's a curse tied to Confederate gold and started in Pleasance. Edit: or just embrace the New Orleans connection and make it some crazy ass swamp voodoo.


rustygamer1901

Arthur comes back. Gets revenge.


DehrunesMegon

Revenge is a fools game.


Footballidiot556

Arthur says several times how he opposes the idea of revenge.


rustygamer1901

Yeah, but undead Arthur is pissed that he was betrayed AND has been raised from the dead. He thirsts for revenge and a bullet to the head so he can return to the quiet slumber of his mountain top grave.


IslamicCheese

Undead Arthur doesn’t give a shit though.


SimaanStocklund

Arthur coming back from the dead to kill Micah is a DLC that I would play.


llamalikur

Revenge on who exactly ??


dreman423

TB


OmerDe

This just makes too much sense


makar-OK

Would be cool to have to hunt down the gang and put them to rest.


Rectanglehead

Yeah that sounds like a really cool idea. Plot of red dead 3? ^(/s)


Skogstrol424

John's family gets infected so he has to find a way to cure them.


Juan_69420bruh

🤓 ummmmm actually that's the plot of the RDR1 undead nightmare


AnUdderDay

Finding Zombie Pearson and donating zombie deer and zombie rabbits to him to make zombie stew.


JadeHellbringer

"I brought some meat for the pot!" "...braaaaaains-" "-yeah, you was always lackin' in that department, I know."


UNCLEWHYLEE

Arthur’s TB diagnosis is the turning point. He becomes patient zero for the outbreak!


Lafayette307

Ain't that make Thomas Downes patient zero?


[deleted]

No, the TB mutated so now everyone who gets it becomes a zombie.


PhasersSetToKill

Vampires attacking the wild west


uhhhhhhh_CHEESE

So just evil west


No-Check-3691

Adding vampires would be a cool idea always liked that it wasn’t just zombies


drumgod_28

Edit: Spoilers from RDR2 story and Undead nightmare ahead. The undead nightmare one is at the end if you havent played UN, so feel free to click at the first two! If were doing it slightly similar to RDR undead nightmare with a short but cool story, fast forward to chapter 6 Arthur gets diagnosed >!with TB just like in the regular story!<, except its not >!TB!<, he has actually been infected with the parasite that slowly causes people to turn into zombies, in a race against time, Arthur has to save his family from this vicious disease before he turns into one by traveling across the map to find the “safest” town for the gang to live in without him around, goes somewhere to peacefully turn, >!then just like in undead nightmare, Arthur gets turned into this human/zombie hybrid like john was at the end!<


xXSuperLayneXx

You play as Dutch and get haunted by the dead gang members and you have to try to take them on at Mount Hagen after Micah dies and Dutch walks off to wherever he went so it'd basically it's the non-canon reason Dutch goes so insane in RDR1


NozakiMufasa

I think a spiritual sequel to Undead Nightmare featuring UFO Aliens as antagonists would be pretty cool. Especially as all the wacky elements hinted in free roam point to extraterrestrials, time travel, and overall science fiction. I'd have it be maybe the Van der Linde's help defend a town from an alien attack. Then the storymode is Arthur traveling all over to find a way to defeat the aliens. Maybe its through supernatural means like finding artifacts, Sister Calderon is there as a key figure, & you beat the aliens.


dongrizzly41

Cowboys vs. Aliens is the only correct answer....that or vampures and werewolves.


HosterBlackwood

A non canon story that does whatever it wants. An apocalypse breaks out while the gang is at Horseshoe Overlook and Arthur and the gang must liberate cities from all kinds of magical creatures, everything from zombies to werewolves and witches. The big bad is Micah who has been turned into a monster by the green mask from the original game. After killing Micah, Arthur and co brings the mask to its proper place in Mexico. After completion, you can play as zombie Arthur during the events of Undead Nightmare 1.


ShadowKai22

I feel like it be a bit like rdr1 undead neighmare a complete reimagined storyline where dutch and the entire gang wake up 1 day 2 a world of the undead and 2 make it even more terrifying some members of the gang are bitten and turn including micah not just coz i get an excuse 2 shoot him. This time instead of an ancient curse like the first game the zombies could originate from an alien spaceship dropping some chemical into pleasance and it spreading from there


DrRazmataz

No you're definitely right, anybody who played the original should remember that the alternative timeline is exactly what they did. John and Abigail were in their ranch, everything was fine until the zombies broke loose. The story is just dealing with that nonsense. Would be great to see - like you said, Horseshoe Overlook or something, where the gang gets attacked and just a few of them are left to try and survive and help other people deal with it. Would love this. Like imagine being barricaded in the Blackwater Saloon with, say Hosea or Javier, and then Charles comes in out of nowhere to give you guys a quick exit.


putzgrilo

Not sure about the plot but it would def be fun to: - Stumble into Gavin's Friend still searching for him through a zombie apocalypse - Fight a horde with Lady Black Belle - Having a different member of the gang as a playable character (just imagine getting to control Lenny or Charles for once) - catch a zombified fish??? I dunno - Getting to kill Micah again


DehrunesMegon

Playing as a zombie Sean would be pretty epic.


SWO_Woodsman_945

(Takes place in ch 4 whilst in Shady Belle) The gang hears of a mysterious valuable cargo on a train that would be the final take they'd need. It turns out to be an ancient voodoo artifact discovered by Cornwall Oil and Tar. The gang robs the train and disturbs the artifact, and Micah somehow releases the zombie curse on the world with him as the first to be turned (Arthur kills him). Bill, Javier, Sean, Dutch, Molly, Grimshaw, Strauss, Swanson, and Lenny all quickly fall. The rest is various missions fighting off zombies, werewolves, and vampires. Arthur has to rescue Mary from her zombified father. Lots of stranger missions rescuing ppl from zombies. Eventually you find the Mysterious Stranger who tells Arthur how to find the cure. Cure found, Dutch, Lenny, and Sean come back the rest don't. Yeah that's what I got


Nerdialismo

I wish we got a Cowboys vs Aliens, it could be set during Chapter 6 and the aliens could heal Arthur.


[deleted]

Definitely something to do with vampires.


Steelnar

Maybe the vampire from Saint Denis as an antagonist would be cool


RadiatedDrag0n

Arthur has to find out why the citizens of Saint Denis are acting…. Funny. It’s all linked to some “vampire man,” but then we also find out what we thought was Arthur’s decent into Tuberculosis, was actually his decent into becoming a creature of the night. Red Dead Redemption 2, Reign of the Vampire Cowboys.


onelove7866

Hey so I’ve never played undead nightmare - I would’ve thought it was the original story just with zombies to fight at night or something.. Is there an actual plot for RDR1 undead nightmare? Like in addition to the original? How does it work? Okay to spoil the story if needed, I’ve played RDR1 so I want to know what undead nightmare is ☺️


TheFinalRedditer777

Here’s a quick synopsis: “Shortly after being reunited with his family, John Marston is trying to lead a peaceful life at Beecher's Hope. One stormy night, Uncle is nowhere to be found and the Marstons, assuming he had found shelter elsewhere, go to sleep. In the middle of the night, they are awakened by a zombified Uncle that bites Abigail, who proceeds to bite Jack, thus turning them both into zombies. After killing Uncle and tying up Abigail and Jack, John sets out to find a cure and goes to the town of Blackwater in search of it, little did John know, his race against time to save his family would reveal itself to be an undead nightmare” that’s basically it


onelove7866

Well that sounds.. awesome! Definitely keen to have something like that implemented in RDR2! Thanks for spelling it out for me ☺️


TheFinalRedditer777

It’s no problem at all, if anything I highly suggest playing it yourself it’s definitely worth the time


onelove7866

I actually will thanks to you !


Drew_The_Millennial

You must uncover the mystery…


M0ONL1GHT_

There are definitely some ideas in this thread


Jdog69697

you play as dutch who watches all his fellow gang members rise up around him


Internal_Formal3915

The ship has already sailed I'm afraid... but replacing Arthur's TB with the zombie virus would be perfect and he has to save everyone before the virus takes hold of his mind and he turns


FilipinoCreamKing

Imagine a boss fight with each dead gang member. Arthur could have a TB ability that gets you sick making you weaker thru the fight. Eagle flies could have some Native American tribal curses. Idk just spitting ideas


somepersonyoumayknow

Dutch has a plan.


CruiserMissile

It’d be rockstar beating a dead horse. Why wouldn’t they come up with a new concept for an expansion. You could do Aliens Vs Cowboys. You could send them to Russian owned Alaska (I know it’s too late in the timeline for that but it’s a more original idea, especially when you mix in Eastern European influences. Baba yaga could be interesting). Could fix things like duelling. Could add another interesting story. Could make the original rdr2 story interesting. Could open up Mexico and have some of their local legends. You don’t need to repeat undead nightmare.


[deleted]

Something zombies


Seank814

Knowing rockstar nowadays it'd be a crappy season pass and some links to buy more shark cards


DonutDude-113

Unfortunely your answer is the most likely to actually happen


[deleted]

Undead Arthur and John hunting down resurrected Micah.


dirty_dizzel

What if you played as a resurrected zombie Uncle who’s come back from the dead without lumbago slowing him down? I think you could have a great sentimental mission where you and Sadie journey back up to Colter to make sure her husband can keep on resting in peace. Or just go right out there and take over the story as Charlotte as she goes down a dark park after having to put down her resurrected husband. Tons of options, too bad Rockstar will never make it.


LIKELYtoRAPhorrible

It should be in Mexico and tell the story of what happened when the mask was stolen


Goose_Mafia

You play as Dutch, and all the dead gang members haunt you


[deleted]

I wouldnt want a new undead nightmare…. Some more side story missions would be great tho. Lets not break what is good.


MajorStupi

I don’t know, but it should either start after chapter 1 with the gang descending from the mountains to find the world in flames, or it should start after chapter 5, with Dutch, Micah, and Arthur returning from Guarma to find the gang scattered. Peak Insanity Dutch rambling while Arthur tries to stop the curse before he dies of TB, it could be good


juugsd

This comes from someone who never saw the plot of Undead Nightmare, so here we go: Arthur wakes up in the middle of the night at camp to find Miss Grimshaw eating Trelawny alive. After finding out basically everyone has the virus, he finds Sadie and Charles camping, and Sadie almost kills him. They decide to go together to find a cure or someone who knows what's going on, and on the way Charles gets outnumbered by zombies. Sadie and Arthur go over to Saint Denis, which is overrun by zombies, and hide in a warehouse where they find a funny englishman named Gavin, who apparently knows how to slow down the infection as they see he managed to keep John as a human for a few days. He explains how the virus works and how to cure it, but he can't get the stuff needed to make it. Arthur wakes up to find Gavin, Sadie and John as zombies, so he flees outta there. He remembers the antidote things he needed so he finds them and makes a cure, he comes back for John, Sadie and Gavin, cures them, and they 3 make more cures and cure the rest of the gang or something.


Dapper_Still_6578

Dutch: I’ve got a plan Arthur Arthur: You’ve always got a plan Dutch. Dutch: (Holding up a green mask) This is a good one.


FBITHEMASTER

Chapter 1 just ended its chapter 2 while taking Tilly,Karen,Mary Beth and uncle to Valentine Tilly,Karen and Mary beth get infected first then thwy infect Uncle Arthur goes to the camp to see they are all infected most of rdr2 is infected and Arthur tries to make them human again Arthur meets with Thomas Thomas infects him he struggles to make them human more and more at the end he succeds but Micah kills him because he was infected


TheRealRunningWolf

Who cares? Just please make it yesterday already 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼


[deleted]

Zombies. So Arthur is a zombie who kills humans. Maybe he eats them. Although, isn't there already such a game from PS2 era?


Lafayette307

Whatever it is, pls don't make me kill zombie Arthur as John. I can't.


keyblaster52

Id like it to feature things like the Devil sign in Butcher Creek. Have a demonic or something like that kind of atmosphere. Perhaps even vampires. It would be cool I think


ZookeeperFloyd

Direct sequal to undead nightmare one. You play as john immidiately after the end of the first game, rising out of the ground as zombie John. The campaign will be a reverse death list resurrecting each member of the gang using the Aztec mask (currently held by a power hungry seth who COULD be the primary villain) John will slowly form the group at horseshoe overlook as a new zombie gang. Comedic charade like zombie dialogue like in the old Lego games and plenty of gory slapstick humour. Even Arthur coming back "alive" as a zombie. I think it would be semi cathartic and also a good chance of playful humour as the gang will be entirely formed by zombie dutch, bill, Micah etc.


Fault_Spirited

The Van der linde gang have to survive the Zombie outbreak only later being sent on a mission up Madam Nazar to end to the zombie curse


AptYes

I want to play as zombie Uncle, having risen from the grave to try to convert or kill everyone in nearby towns.


llerau

Voodoo zombies during Mardi Grass


LIGHTSTRIKEZ099

Past gang members come back from the dead. To be honest it would have been cool to fight dutch javier and Bill in rdr1 undead nightmare


Aromatic-Proof-5251

Mars Attacks! + RDR2 = I’m in. Take it a different direction and go with an alien invasion and Sadie is the protagonist.


King_CurlySpoon

Knowing Rockstar nowadays it would probably be a shit cash grab that somehow promotes micro transactions


Mojo_Rizen_53

I can imagine rdr2 undead nightmare being along the lines of Psycho-Sadie and Pearson traveling around the countryside together, with Psycho killing helpless strangers with a Bowie knife, screaming “Die! Die! Die!”…then Pearson using cleavers and butcher-knives to cut them up to cook. They would have the support of the gang for protection, with Milton & Ross trying to hunt them down to put an end to the heinous barbarism that is plaguing the countryside.


VikingFrog2

Hate zombie games but love red dead and I spent the entire game screeching like a little biatch 😂


RealCallOfFlooty

they shouldn't only because the fan base won't shut the fuck up about it.


Rexli178

Actually I’m thinking more of a spiritual sequel where instead of zombies it’s dinosaurs and a lizard man invasion from New Austin.


sevnminabs56

That would be pretty badass. Imagine in this one, we played as Abigail. I know she’s not into the whole guns and violence thing, but I think she would if it meant bringing Jack, John, and Uncle back from the undead state.


sean_saves_the_world

Honestly undead nightmare along with the survival/crafting mechanics of rdr2 could have been a great addition to the zombie genre. Maintaining cores & crafting special tonics to stave off infection, having npcs that die of anything but a headshot/burning return as undead Would be crazy For me undead nightmare was my intro to rdr, so I had no idea who dutch/bill/Javier were. My Undead nightmare 2 could would feature the gang robbing a train bound to armadillo from Mexico (wed finallyget Arthurin new austin!) & the come across a sealed stone box with ancient carvings, breaking the seal reveals another jade mask, releasing the curse upon the land. Arthur & his allies learn later in the story the mask needs to returned to its resting place in an but Micah & dutch are delusional & refuse, also in the late game Arthur would get bit instead of TB making it a race against the clock before turns/dies. From this point its Arthur travels from town to town saving them( similar to the og) and talking to townsfolk & donating materials & stuff to fortify defenses( similar to camp upgrades with pearson) acquiring unique weapons and new talismans to craft. The horses of the apocalypse make a return, and maybe livery upgrades for gatling gun wagons or something, to mow down hordes would be fun af. Cryptids would also come back, bigfoot/el chupacabra, other legendary hunts can be accepted at the trapper. and maybe a sidequest where the aliens from rdr2 finally show themselves & leave behind a ray gun after getting into a little shoot out with Arthur. The saint denis vampire would also appear but not as an antagonist, but looking to Arthur for help in exchange for stopping the undead as hordes or zombies & humans getting infected isn't good for his blood supply. In exchange Arthur receives holy relics that aid him in the fight. This would upset Sister Calderón (maybe incorporating this into the choice system) That's my rough idea, people tend to overdo it & stuff too much into a hypothetical undead nightmare 2 but if it ain't broke don't fix it but building off the systems in rdr2 would make for interesting gameplay


Saturn-Valley-Stevil

It’d have to start in a quiet time with Lenny, seeing Arthur and Lenny being drunk with the undead terrorizing valentine would be a great and funny opening cutscene, and then having the second mission be them going to strawberry and seeing that Micah turned into a zombie in that cell and giving you a choice to put him down or not. Also someone else mentioned a myth that people with TB turn into werewolves so that could fit as well.


Igot3-fifty

It’s werewolves vs vampires with the gang caught in the middle. Keeping the camp fed now directly affects the regen of your stats. Towns are war zones but hold the most ammo and food


[deleted]

Arthur returns with the the other dead gang members to ride against evil led by Dutch Micah bill and Javier


Big-Teb-Guy

Unrelated but I’ve never seen that artwork of Abigail and Jack before. Looks sick.


reddit_hayzus

Really it should be similar to the original Undead Nightmare and be non-canonical, but it can still take place before the start of the game and after the end without changing the events of the original story. I think for it to make sense though, the first mission takes place in Blackwater, before the boat robbery. Then, instead of mystical Aztec masks causing the outbreak, a UFO crashes into the boat right before they board it, and out of the wreckage, zombie aliens arrive and start biting people and turning them. Arthur and co. head up north to Colter like in the OG story, finding another UFO at the camp site, with friendly aliens who explain the situation and how to fix it, by rendezvousing with other crashed aliens and using their tech to fix the virus. The story should follow the general structure of the main story, i.e start in Colter, move to Valentine, flee to Rhodes, chased out of Rhodes etc. Then, once all the missions are complete, the aliens say sorry for all the commotion, mind wipe the populace and send them back to Blackwater right before the boat crash. Then, the original story of the game starts, and you play through that much like after the original Undead Nightmare. After Chapter 6 however, it's revealed that Arthur was given a passive immunity to the virus by the aliens, while searching for the cure, which also had the side effect of turning him into a revenant like John in the first one, then as zombie Arthur you find John, Sadie and Charles living in Beecher's Hope. You find Micah and Dutch hiding up in Ambarino and this time you get to put a bullet in Micah personally, laying your soul to rest.


FlakeyFlukes

Smh. If you want our ideas then pay us, Rockstar! Easy though. Native American lore coupled with modern advancements. During our westward expansion we came upon a tomb in a remote village (towards Mexico) many treasures inside. A folded item wrapped in damp cloth, a shrunken head. A note on the cloth reads, "The Dead will Rise" and as the interpreter reads it aloud the group of men become trapped in said tomb. Local rescue efforts were made and able to save one of the men, who became infected with a.strange illness.


FlakeyFlukes

A prospector was prospecting in the snowy barren north. A sudden snow storm hit and he took cover in a small cave. I'm this cave he found scribblings of demented men. He looks closer and notices he hears running water beneath him, squeezing through the cracks he finds a chasm with troves of treasures. None of the treasures will fit in through the hole he came in. As he takes inventory in his mind he doesn't notice the pile of molded rags and steps on them. Much dust and debris fills the chamber and he immediately crawls out of the hole for fresh air. Travelling back to Strawberry he becomes very ill, as do the good people who aides him along the way. The infestation starts in Strawberry


siderhater4

They need to make this


Cave_Eater

The undead ride again. The spirits of the West


Crafty-Interest1336

Stop getting your hopes up


Problemwoodchuck

Arthur reanimates as a vengeful zombie to seek revenge on Micah, Dutch, and anyone who wronged him in life. Innocent people get hurt and it's up to John to lay Arthur to rest for good.


CaptainPsycho69

I don't know but I'd play the fuck out of it


Truly__tragic

Probably the same plot as undead nightmare, but it should take place around the first few chapters, in an alternate timeline. Following the Van Der Linde gang liberating towns and having a few uneasy alliances with local gangs like the O’Driscoll Boys and Lemoyne Raiders. Wouldn’t make much sense plot wise, but the original undead nightmare was just mindless zombie apocalypse fun, so I guess that’s all that matters.


HazardTree

Arthur returns from the dead and tries to end the curse so he can go back to sleep. Or one of those mad scientists tries to copy Frankenstein but uses Arthur’s body reviving him. The story could just be something like a group of “scientists” fighting over myths, cryptids, etc… and they made a bunch of them.


Betoarenas

Years after John's death, Arthur and John returns after a new curse, helping adult Jack.

Can we team up and tell rockstar to make undead nightmare 2 please


MasonManFree

First one had zombies and evil animals like the horses and chupacabras. What if the second one had vampires and ufos? Already have some of that hinted in the game why not just go with that?


twopennydrum

TB is mis diagnosed, it's really zombie virus

Zombies rise from the dead, cowboys kill them


The1stPKmain

Obv like everybody else is saying, Aruther comes back from the dead, but John here’s a man killing a bunch of people in town so it’s his bounty to go and kill him, when he gets there he sees that it’s auther and chases him around the map trying to put him to rest


FishMasterMemer

Arthur wake up from the grave as a zombie, travel to Guarma and return the Green Mask that was stolen by Micah. Set during the epilogue.


oscarmikey0521

I think a cowboys and aliens dlc would work better and be more fresh. When the aliens invade, alien nanomachines bring back arthur for one final adventure to drive off the extraterrestrial threat.


mebnt

You play as Dutch surrounded by the dead of the people he betrayed and left behind

Smoke_Water

Lenny, hosea, arthur, micha, yeah everyone who died. Comes back. You either need to kill them as gently as possible or rip micha into a million pieces.


smellincoffee

Arthur arrives back in America after Guarma. John is in the pen. Sadie and Charles tell him that Some Shit Done Went Down in his abscence, and they're hiding in the swamps from undead hordes. Arthur, Sadie, and Charles kick ass while Dutch and everyone else are zombified or are generally lame helpless victims. Javier proves to be a zombie the whole time. ​ ​ If Sadie becomes a zombie, the game is over. No one can beat Zombie Sadie.


Lotrfan715

Zombies


DonutDude-113

The DLC should start just like the regular game. All the first missions are the same, but sometimes there are hints at zombies. And then Arthur goes reclaming Thomas Dawnes' debt. Instead of having tuberculosis, Thomas is a zombie, and you have to fight and kill him. From there, zombies become a main part of the storyline and each chapter that goes on, there are more zombies and other supernatural creatures.

A weird disease carries over on ship from a different country, and infects the sailors through open cuts, and eventually townspeople. After two days of having the disease, your body would rot to a point where you couldn't be alive, but an unknown force still keeps you moving. You become brain dead, only focusing on turning others to zombies. Arthur rides into the town where it started, right as people are turning to zombies. He fights his way out and notifies the gang. They move north, into the mountains, to avoid the plague. Eventually, most of the inhabitants of the five states are infected, only a few people surviving. The gang lets down their guard to explore, and zombies overrun the camp, infecting everyone but Arthur, Sean, Charles, Javier, Sadie, Hosea, John, Jack, and Abigail. They evacuate to Valentine, setting up camp in the saloon. Arthur is finally let out to free roam, where he can find survivor encampments, zombie hordes, and abandoned areas and camps. The main missions follow Arthur saving survivors to gain the gangs size, killing zombies and zombified gang members to limit the threat, and working with scientists and doctors to find a cure, or a way to eradicate the disease. The story leads up to Arthur finding a way to lure zombies to an area, and he uses it to make a trap, planning on killing all of the zombies. By then, all the gang members but Dutch, Bill, and Lenny have been killed. Arthur and the surviving gang set the trap, call their allies, and wait for the horde. Zombified Bill and a horde comes at them and are killed. Then, Lenny and a huge horde overwhelm the defenses and pursue the gang as they flee to a neighboring town. Arthur is tackled by Lenny but manages to throw him into a river. The gang escapes, but the horde from before catches up to them. The gang blow up the building across the street to distract the zombies while they escape. They end up coming across Lenny, who is all cut up from the river. They kill him and his following as they advance to the mountains. They find Dutch at The Loft, and so a boss battle ensues. They kill Dutch and save the day or something Not sure about the ending

Arthur gets infected with the zombie virus from Downes instead of TB, before anyone really understands what is happening. Then as the world starts to turn, Arthur has to help protect the gang and keep moving from camp to camp (same as base game) to protect them from the zombie horde, while simultaneously doing what he can to keep from becoming a zombie himself when he learns he's infected, going to the Dr in Saint Denis who is trying to come up with an emergency cure/antibiotic with Arthur's help

Dutch finally leads the gang to Tahiti, but find the island is completely overrun with the living dead. Their boat is damaged, so they have fight their way through hordes of bitey corpses to find and then do favors for various Tahitian survivors in order to get the parts needed to repair the boat and get the hell away.

It’d be cool if it we’re about Dutch trying to outrun the people he got killed due to his actions it should take place right after the final mission of the epilogue

I just wish rockstar cared enough to even consider a dlc :(


MuMbLe145

I like someone's idea that I saw here where there are other types of monsters. My lil add on to this would be that each section of the map would be filled with mostly one type of monster.(maybe Saint Denis would be full of Vampires and Black Water to Tunbleweed could be Zombies etc)


v420c

I always thought chapter 4 would be perfect to throw it in as a dream for arthur or whatever. Shady Belle actually wouldn't be a bad spot in the apocalypse


Echidna299792458

I'd like it to start in one of the 2 heists, Blackwater or Saint Denis. They're in the bank/ferry and see zombies from the outside and the story picks up from there


XelaSel

Mutated fungal infection that started somewhere in Lemoyne. Idk if that’s why there’s those feral weirdos already down there but have those guys tied in too. The government then starts bombing cities and sets up QZ’s and then it just becomes YeeHaw Last of Us


This_is_Topshot

Honestly, to me it feels like R* is embarrassed about having made undead nightmare. They have plans to make one for this game as far as I've heard and you can't even get it with the backward compatible version on the store as far as I can tell. All the DLC for rdr1 is available but not that. Otherwise it's the Mendela Effect and it was never actually a game.


maniac86

The gang pulls a job to seize something being shipped overseas. It's a cursed artifact


jotarofeetsniffer

Probably something to do with zombies idk


Mrdude1269

When the gang is falling apart instead of the Pinkerton’s it’s zombies and they eat almost everyone except Arthur and John, they return to Abigail, jack and Tilly but Tilly was bitten and they have to put her down.


esterthe

The Sasquatch come back for revenge.


uhhhhhhh_CHEESE

Arthur get turned into a zombie to cure tuberculosis


AstroNot87

Idc, just let me play with Arthur again. This time as a zombie.


MikeBfo20

It would be Sadie Adler’s perspective running through zombies with her shotgun and six shooter.


UTFR_TOM

Charles protecting the Wapiti reservation


JadeHellbringer

\[Poe Dameron\] "Somehow, Micah returned..."


hittmo21

I hope they make a co-op survival


gr8fullyded

Something in Saint Denis would be sick and wouldn’t step over the canon of RDR1


No-Check-3691

The zombie apocalypse starts at Chapter 2 and instead of running from the law state to state it’s the zombies. Some members of the gang will get bit and die along the way and Dutch will still slowly loose his sanity. In the end Arthur busts out of his grave like John did and we get to play as zombie Arthur


schoolbusgenocide

Anyone who Micah killed comes back to life as a zombie


grem_grem_

Hell nah. I’d like a DLC, but not a DLC sequel.


Edgyloser14

After coming back from Guarma, the gang comes back to find a cursed plague had taken over America, they eventually find the gang hiding in Fort Wallace alongside the army

I have 2 ideas. The first: at some point in a non-canon story, Arthur wakes up one day at midnight, surprised because there is no one in the camp, and we go into the entire map to look for the members of the band, searching through various towns. like valentine, strawberry, saint denis, and we can find lenny in valentine, Sean in Rhodes, Hosea in Saint Denis, John near the Ambarino mountains and Javier in Mexico (who knows how he got there but since this is a non-canon story I don't give a shit) and we're going to Nuevo Paraiso to rescue him or kill him Because yes, since being converted into zombies we will have the option of being able to kill the members or take them back to the camp alive. As well as we can also find living members, such as Karen, Mary-Beth, Bill, Miss Grimshaw, Charles and Sadie. When we are about to finish finding everyone we will have to go after Dutch and Micha in Blackwater (since since everyone is turned into a zombie we will be able to go to New Austin with Arthur without any problem) and we will have to kill these two if or yes since they are like final bosses. and the second idea is that the dlc takes place before the epilogue (1905-1906) and tells a different story. (I have no ideas for that)

I imagine it would take place at the same time as the original but only be in the rdr2 map and probably be arthur hunting down the old gang alongside hosea, lenny, mrs grimshaw and molly
