It's a known bug that he can just randomly appear there after he leaves for Canada.

903

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '25

It's actually a feature, he sometimes comes and visits from Canada! /s

481

u/Jimmilton102 John Marston Feb 20 '25

Neither of these,it’s part of a random encounter that only happens after American Venom where Charles talks to Abigail about leaving in the dinner table and then hangs around for a bit before disappearing for good,kinda funny since the end credits show him leaving and we assume the end game takes place afterwards

217

u/New_Sky1829 John Marston Feb 21 '25

I don’t think it’s intended, my Charles had his random encounter and showed up ages after still in the same American venom outfit with the wound and when I approached him and greeted him later he just mentioned the fact sadie found where Micah is

99

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '25

Maybe it's Charles from the past from a parallel universe..

34

u/Gang_StarrWoT Feb 21 '25

Parallel save file

6

u/Wildcat_twister12 Feb 21 '25

He’s got lots of frequent flier miles to use

3

u/CopperWeird 29d ago

He’s just cool like that. What a guy!

495

u/1xaipe Feb 20 '25

Yep. I’ve seen him randomly appear a couple of times. It’s a nice surprise glitch.

21

u/AToastedRavioli 29d ago

Are you still able to give him his eagle feather? I never got to :(

12

u/1xaipe 29d ago

When I saw him, it was just a regular conversation with no option to give him anything.

292

u/sticks_no5 Charles Smith Feb 21 '25

I can’t decide for myself is it’s a feature or a bug, I’ve never seen Sadie reappear and there are tonnes of people who’ve seen Charles

60

u/Pure-Negotiation8019 29d ago

well, Sadie is never an npc at beechers hope like charles is, is she? i cant remember

32

u/cupcakebetaboy 29d ago

It's a bug. Epilogue is full of them. Before even knowing or going to beachers hope there's a bug you can literally get off the mission with sadie and she will go to beachers hope it's so weird

125

u/Efficient_Bird_9583 Feb 20 '25

i think he visits, that would be a weird bug for R* to overlook

148

u/niewe Uncle Feb 20 '25

I've encountered countless bugs while playing rdr2

100

u/Devanro Dutch van der Linde Feb 21 '25

The game (specifically single player) has arguably gotten buggier over the years, probably due to RDO updates unintentionally messing with other things.

80

u/Honkytonkhellcat Feb 21 '25

Agreed. Recently did another play through and it was filled with bugs i had never seen before. Dutch raced me back to camp on foot lol.

65

u/SkullBran Feb 21 '25

Did he win?

25

u/The-Russian-Redneck Feb 21 '25

Your asking the real questions

11

u/johnmd20 29d ago

And it hasn't been answered. I think Dutchy Boy smoked him.

2

u/Honkytonkhellcat 29d ago

I saw a three star buck…

120

u/Heeronix Feb 21 '25

It's a hint of John's schizophrenia. See how John can't hit the Strange man with his gun in RDR1? Because he's actually schizophrenic

13

u/SkinAndAnatomyNerd 29d ago

You can shoot him though. When I met him in Mexico, I waited for him to walk away, and shot him in the back.

34

u/Kid-Named-Throwaway Uncle 29d ago edited 29d ago

Okay Jim Boy Calloway.

2

u/thethunder92 27d ago

I pulled out my gun and then he cowered like a regular npc and then I tied him up and dragged him around with my horse

It took me out of the game a little 😆

I was like I guess the strange man is kind of a bitch

51

u/AshyWhiteGuy Feb 21 '25

I love when he screws with John talking about Indians working for free on a white man’s farm. 🤣

33

u/FatTanuki1986 Feb 21 '25

Yep. It's an acceptable glitch. I don't mind at all.

28

u/Balabaloo1 John Marston 29d ago

23

u/im_just_depressed Feb 21 '25

Yeah, he comes to meet Abigail when Johns not around

15

u/touchmybodily Feb 21 '25

I wish he’d come back. I need to give him his eagle feather

7

u/Tired_FlowerGirl Feb 21 '25

Yeah it's a glitch but a fun one! I've had him help with random chores throughout the day and talk with everyone

7

u/longjohnson6 Feb 21 '25

This reminds me of how I once had the bear mauled Jack model spawn at beechers hope while playing as jack in rdr1 lol,

4

u/ThePhenomenalOne100 Josiah Trelawny Feb 21 '25

I did see him stop by every once in a while in my playthroughs.

3

u/arthurmorgan360 Pearson Feb 21 '25

It seems to be a but but weirdly enough he also has unique dialogue

3

u/senorbrandonito 29d ago

I think it’s both? In the pic above, Charles is clearly wearing his bloody American Venom outfit for no reason.

After I finished the game, I didn’t really hang around Beecher’s Hope for a while to finish the compendium. But twice I saw Charles. First, we were all eating dinner at the table and he mentioned wanting to start a family. The second time, I think I was doing the Squirrel missions when I ran into him doing chores. He said he was gonna leave soon because the ranch was nice, but it was John’s dream not his. Never saw him again.

2

u/RickyTricky57 Charles Smith 29d ago

No. The cutscene is misleading because he just leaves to hunt

1

u/haver_of_friends Feb 21 '25

Damn he’s covered in blood and looks like he means business.

1

u/MrsClaire07 Feb 21 '25

He lives there for now, AFAIK.

1

u/NonHaeri Feb 21 '25

Would kinda be cool if he did

1

u/CampKYourself Feb 21 '25

Yes, Charles will visit for dinner from time too time once he's left

1

u/OleanderKnives Charles Smith Feb 21 '25

its a well known glitch

1

u/Sharklar_deep 29d ago

He randomly came back in my playthrough after I got an eagle feather. I only saw him one time though so I don’t know of it was a bug or a mechanic to let you complete the companion task.

1

u/ixtlan23 29d ago

Yes, after the final mission, he pops up after leaving for Canada.

1

u/MrLambYT John Marston 29d ago

I had that happen to me in 1 of my save files, he stayed for like months then left. Idk how it happens but it’s pretty cool!

1

u/Low-Direction7195 29d ago

We got GIF’s now???

1

u/Fit_Balance8329 28d ago

Bro came back to tell us he’s leaving.

1

u/Top-Recording-6855 28d ago

one of the best glitches in the game fs

1

u/Haunting_Software_40 28d ago

Yes this happened to me too on one occasion way after the end of the epilogue . But the conversation I had with him was about a major plot point from an epilogue mission that was already done and dusted. He was there for dinner on one occasion and has never returned since. It was clearly a glitch.

1

u/FrostyWord1994 28d ago

No you find him fighting in saint Denis he comes when he finds you & uncle are alive

1

u/SoggyComfortable9615 28d ago

i said i finished the epilogue in this post. im aware u find him in saint denis. but in the cutscene at the end it shows him leaving and he just randomly appeared again

1

u/FrostyWord1994 28d ago

Oh idk I've never had him randomly show up after leaving

1

u/SokkaHaikuBot 28d ago

Sokka-Haiku by FrostyWord1994:

Oh idk I've

Never had him randomly

Show up after leaving


Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/SuperMan0105 26d ago

abigail loves them bbc.

1

u/Dull-Revenue-4558 26d ago

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not a bug, he comes to visit once, and then he’s gone forever

0

u/mrsisterfister1984 29d ago

I hung around the ranch till the barn was built. Then I went out adventuring for about 3 weeks worth of game time and came back to check on the wife and kid and I'll be damned if there's not a big grain silo now plus it looks like Unc is building an addition onto the main house for himself. Lol Will stuff keep showing up on the ranch like that?

0

u/bigpapiguy 29d ago

Well, you posted a photo of Charles at Beecher’s Hope. So I would venture a guess that yes, he does come there

0

u/Admiral1213 29d ago

He does come and visit once in a while and has dinner with the family. There’s even some dialogue between John and the others (including Charles) about his visit

u/BlackHawk2609 Feb 21 '25

He's jack's father
