NOTES: The best time to trigger an item request (besides during missions and companion activities) is from noon to approximately the evening. This makes it easier as the gang members are not asleep or eating dinner despite some of them not being available after 12pm or after 3pm. Due to Lenny's request being at night, it is best triggered at around 10pm as the gang members tend to stay up for a long time at night. There are possibilities that some companions won't ask for the items they are looking for, in Chapters 3-4, such as Pearson asking for a Rabbit, or Sean asking for a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon. To avoid this, players should aim to complete the above item requests as early/soon as possible. UI denotes a Unique Item.

Trivia

• Out of Arthur's 6 chapters, Chapter 2 is the only one where, discounting Milton revealing Mac's death, no gang members die (Davey dies in Chapter 1, Sean in Chapter 3, Kieran, Hosea and Lenny in Chapter 4, Molly in Chapter 5, and Grimshaw and Arthur himself in Chapter 6).
• During part 2 of the epilogue, John becomes indebted to the bank. Even if the player acquires the indebted sum of $465 or more outside of the main missions, the money can't be used to pay off the debt and the player must instead complete the storyline missions that result in John making the payments.
• Chapter 4 and 5 are the only chapters to not be named after a gang camp location. They are instead named after locations the gang spend considerable time at.
