Hi! Continuing on from my earlier post here - exploring the idea that the "2 Birds" clue is a lot more abstract than leading us to exactly 2 birds in the game (or Two Crows, or 2 gravestones with birds on them, etc.). It's been about 6 months and no bird-related clues have seemed to lead to anywhere concrete.

When playing through Chapter 6 recently Dutch says this idiom while talking to Arthur -"Some good honest conflict between the army and the Indians might be just the distraction we need. Kill two birds with one stone." The use of the term in relation to the army (Fort Wallace) and the Indians (feathers, dream catchers) stood out to me.

The Stone Hatchet was a RDR2 promotional item in GTA Online, which can only be accessed in RDR2 by playing through some bounty missions, and then completing the 25 kills challenge. This will unlock the Stone Hatchet found at the Native Burial site and earn the player $250,000 (not sure if the numbers 2,5 or 25 are relevant here...)

I'm not a GTA Online player, so I'm unsure if this weapon is still accessible in GTA Online and can be carried over to RDR2 in 2026. If it is, I think we should try to acquire it and interact with the webs with it (throwing the hatchet in different patterns at the webs).

Other notes / thoughts:

• The Stone Hatchet was originally in the Compendium in RDR2, but was removed in in 2020 (Update 1.21)
• Some webs have 1 feather, while others have 2 (could represent the ones we need to hit). 2 Webs spawn at 2am.
• Hitting the feathers with a throwable allows you to easily find them on the ground.
• Madam Nazar also has a line in GTA Online which I think we all know by now is: ***"***I see a web, still tangled after years of unraveling. Will you be the one, I wonder?" - could connect this mystery to GTA Online further
• If the spider web mystery was originally revealed by a mysterious dev, could it be they started planting the seeds before GTA 6 was released, especially since this mystery is related to GTA Online?

TL;DR - does any have the capabilities to bring the stone hatchet into RDR2 from GTA Online, and test it out on the webs?

In the mission A Rage Unleashed, Dutch says this to Arthur on their way to the horses on the Vanhorn boat:

"Some good honest conflict between the army and the Indians might be just the distraction we need. Kill two birds with one stone."

A reference to both the Indians and the army here is worth pointing out, as the Spider web "dream catcher" mystery leads us to Fort Wallace, with the two birds carving.

This mission also has interesting spawns - you will always ride by a fox overlooking a small ledge, and a man chasing 3 boars over a bridge.

Maybe something else is hiding within this mission, or should we maybe take Two Birds to = One Stone?
