Accepting the quest to arrest the House-in-the-Desert gang from the wanted poster in the Dirtwater Jail |
Desert House is the first wanted poster quest given at the Dirtwater Jail.
On the first arrival, the middle name "sneaky" can be gained.
You have 2 options to do this quest, you can either fight and kill them, or you can non-violently arrest them. For the latter you will need a skeleton bone, lock and a can of oil (which can be acquired by wandering, or at general stores).
Items[ | ]
- With Hornswogglin', Intimidatin', or Outfoxin', and having snuck up to and locked the front door, you can demand their weapons and receive 2 bandit pistols, and the Desert Gang's sixgun.

Notes[ | ]
- When you arrive you'll have to sneak (and perhaps acquire "Sneaky" as a middle name).
- While sneaking you first encounter a dog house. Giving it a skeleton bone allows you past the dog without alerting the gang.
- You next encounter a squeaky gate, and that's where the can of oil comes in.
- Upon reaching the front door you can complete the quest to arrest the gang by either locking them in and arresting them (with or without Hornswogglin' them first), or fighting them.
- 1Having locked the door, if you are Ruthless and have a sulphur match, you can light the house on fire, receiving charred bones as evidence of your deed, but none of the drops.
- Alternately, you can choose at any of the above steps to ignore it and just let the gang hear you, which will immediately provoke a battle. Whether you defeat the gang in combat or burn them alive, they are killed and you get credit toward the Wanted: Dead achievement.
DLC[ | ]
- As part of pacifying Felicity Wainwright in the Reckonin' at Gun Manor DLC, you can find Macready's pocketwatch buried here, if you asked the postman in Dirtwater about it.
