The O'Driscoll Boys are the secondary antagonists of the 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption II. They are an Irish-American outlaw gang led by Colm O'Driscoll and the archenemies of the Van der Linde gang.

What Make Them Hate Sinks?

• They are easily one of the most barbaric and vicious gangs in the game, making the Lemoyne Raiders look like saints in comparison, being extremely sadistic about their crimes and killing many innocent people for pleasure or profit.
• They terrorized the country for about a decade through countless atrocities, including mass murder, pillaging, assault, torture and rape.
  • They attacked and robbed a stagecoach full of women and children and massacred them all at the scene.
  • They plundered the Adler ranch and killed one of its owners, Jake, which traumatized his wife Sadie and drove her to become a ruthless outlaw. They are also heavily implied to have raped her.
  • They pretend to negotiate with the Van der Linde gang and kidnap Arthur Morgan while distracting Dutch van der Linde and Micah Bell. They then torture Arthur and use him to bait the gang into a Pinkerton ambush.
  • They capture and torture a former member, Kieran Duffy, into revealing the Van der Linde gang's location. After that, they gouge his eyes out, decapitate him and send his corpse to the Van der Linde gang's camp before launching an assault to kill them all.
• They rescued Colm from execution twice, allowing them to escape justice for such a long time, until their third attempt is stopped by Dutch, Arthur and Sadie.
• It is possible that some O'Driscolls were forced to join rather than do so by their own choice, as was the case with Kieran, whom they threatened to kill if he did not join them.
• As Colm values quantity over quality and does not care about his men, the gang is quite inept in combat and soon destroyed by the Van der Linde gang despite vastly outnumbering them.
