One of the best features early on in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the camp dynamic, which allows you to communicate and interact with a variety of characters. A lot of the things that happen in camp are optional, but it lends a realism to the game world that makes it feel like you’re riding with genuine people. Everyone will go about their business, preparing meals, playing games, and singing songs – it’s all top-notch stuff.
However, there’s a lot of chatter about a bug which removes multiple characters from the camp entirely: Sadie, John, Abigail, and Jack. There’s currently a huge thread on Reddit about the issue, and one poster seems to have isolated the problem to an early Uncle mission where you take three girls into the town of Valentine. Apparently upon completing this it’s possible you may return to camp with the aforementioned characters missing.
While the likes of Marston will re-appear temporarily to hand out missions, it sounds like all of the characters will be completely absent during general camp exploration. It’s unclear how you avoid the bug at this time; one poster suggests tackling the abovementioned Uncle objective at night, but it all seems random until Rockstar issues a patch. We’ll keep an eye on the situation, but hopefully this is cleaned up quickly.

Might just wait to pick this up, once they fix the HDR and various bugs!
The game's pretty polished overall. This is the only thing I've really heard about — although it is obviously a big'un.
Well,
At least it's not like the Fallout 76 bug that completely removes the beta from your HDD.
I'm loving the game so far but it definitely has its issue that I hope can be patched out.
@Deadlyblack In the case of Fallout 76, it's probably for the best.
It's alright. We still have the weather affected horse nuts. The game could look and sound like the 2600 and function as well as a lobotomy performed by a 3 year old but we still have that meticulous attention to detail that doesn't matter.
GOAT.
@MightyDemon82 is there actually a known issue with the HDR? I have turned it off as it looks better without it
@Gunners85 lots of people complaining about it, Rockstar said they're working to fix it!
@MightyDemon82 Do you have a link to them acknowledging and planning to fix it? Because I really want to continue playing.
I have been trying to find Sadie to give her the harmonica she wanted forever... People died for that thing and she's gonna take it!
@get2sammyb Rockstar need add option is fast travel to Camp because people don't like ride on horse so long to reach camp from any location is too far : that's so annoying
Honestly, I haven’t seen Adler in the camp the entire game since moving from the snowy region. I was wondering where she is, but come to think of it, I haven’t seen any of the people mentioned...
I had noticed this a few days ago, but thought that I was just really blind. I've had a Penny Dreadful book to give to Jack since Chapter 2 and I can't find him. Weirdly enough though, there's no tent that they sleep in, as John sleeps in a tent by himself, so I'm not sure if that's why they disappear, because Rockstar forgot to give them a place to sleep.
I'd blame the Suspicious Beggar...
@Gunners85 Basically HDR doesn't work. R* have decided to trick TV's in to thinking its HDR content but its just 'upscaled' SDR.
Very very poor from R* and ive not seen them acknowledge this as a fault either. Its purely a design choice.
I've never had this happen to me. If I can't see somebody in camp, they'll sometimes be sitting near the cliff overlooking the canyon or on guard duty.
@Splat When does Sadie give that request? I always talk to her when in camp but she just (understandably) mopes about. I've had a harmonica on me for ages.
@ApostateMage I think it's random. I have talked to everyone a ton and only had like three of them ask me for something.
@RDR2October26 Lol people just love fast travel. I never fast travel in any game y'know unless there's no choice, like traveling to and from The Institute in Fallout 4 or Novigrad to Skellige in Witcher 3 or using taxis in GTA. I feel fast travel is unrealistic teleportation. I mean there's a lot of random findings or encounters to miss (designed to naturally happen) when you fast travel in open worlds.
@ztpayne7 Same.
@Splat I thought it might be. I did get a request from Bill from a conversation that came up during a poker game at camp, which I thought was pretty cool.
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen a Jack in camp. But as long as best girl is in there, I could care less.
Are you definitely sure, someone, that if they are not in the camp, they are not around it in the woods? Or in the nearest town? Or like Mikah in his remote camp? Because, I have all of them doing their business outside of the camp and quite often I met them elsewhere.
If they all will be in the camp all the time, how would they replenish the stock/ledger book?
@get2sammyb
I had to fight an invisible stranger. I thought it was bees at first. Got him in the end but it was Halloween like.
@Oizon I'm taking my time and just rescued Micah but the characters mentioned aren't in my camp. None of them
I've done a few more missions after that mission with uncle & the characters are all there.
This happened to me also...
But, haven't we learned to ALWAYS keep 2 saves running? Tisk tisk... Sorry fellers, but I came prepared for this here bug 🐛🔫
@BrutusJudas can you manually save in this?
@carlos82 Yes, and you can set camp virtually anywhere so you can travel close to the mission start, double save, and be safe from the bugs 💪😁
@BrutusJudas I'm assuming the save option is hidden away in the menu's somewhere as I've yet to see it. Then again it took me about 5 hours to find the mission log
@carlos82 Pause the game, click story, click save game. You can only do it when not in mission.
If you want to start a save point near a mission location, just head to the waypoint and find a place to camp nearby. Hold L1/Lb, click R1/Rb while still holding L1/Lb to go to your items, hold down on the right stick while still holding L1/Lb, click R2/Rt until you find Camp, then finally release L1/Lb .. Save in two separate save slots now with ... Pause, story, save game.
I've done that mission. Everyone is in camp apart from Sadie. She has gone. To be honest, I hadn't even noticed.
