The poll is a joke but there’s serious people in the comments, I’m not joking with this either.
To (maybe) prevent this post from being classed as low quality, here’s some specific ways for V to uh, win.
1: Optical camo. V goes full Yautja and turns invisible.
2: Biomonitor. You can flat out die and come back if you have this one equipped.
3: Bullet deflection perk. Depending on how you tweak your build, you can buff the stamina for deflection to pretty high levels. Self explanatory.
4: Sandevistan. This is also fairly self explanatory.
5: Smart weapons. Lock on systems are pretty powerful, becomes even more powerful with explosive bullets.
6: If you take the Berserk’s invulnerability effect seriously, V is practically invincible to old-school firearms and explosives. Pair this with gorilla arms and it’s even worse.
There’s a lot more but this is a meme post so i’m not going wild with it lol.

v is a biblical entity compared to a guy with a revolver
I love Arthur and RDR but this is hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby. V would red-mist the entire Van Der Linde gang faster than you can say “what in tarnation”.
Funnily enough, the build least suited to dealing with Arthur would be Netrunning, or at least quickhack focused netrunning. Dude doesn’t have a brainchip.

Arthur’s flesh and bone ass when V tries to upload a contagion quickhack into an 1800s man
I think they misread it it’s not who’s a better character but who would win in a fight as much as I love Arthur no way in hell he’s being V
Arthur gets glazed to no end
He’s a really good character, very well written. But man, everyone keeps acting like he’s some insane, supernatural gunslinger.
I’ve had my V shrug off rounds from a pistol that would break the wrist of any RDR character….this is no contest basically Smasher V Rebecca.
I think the actual question people are responding to is “who would do better in a fight governed by the other person’s setting rules.”
I still don’t think it holds up, but it makes a little more sense. Drop Arthur into Night City, and if he survives the first week he’ll end up a contender near the same level V is.
But RDR has more *narrative weight* attached to violence. So drop V in the territories, and most people would be fucked even if they were chrome-free because V’s a nightmare. But if *Arthur* shot V in the head, it would probably drop them. Because both of them are protagonists in stories about doomed causes, but death is *less cheap* in RDR. Arthur would win because it’d have more narrative impact for him to drop someone as good as V than the opposite.
But that’s all very meta. If we’re just talking a straight matchup on neutral ground, it’s Hydrogen Bomb vs. Crying Baby level.
These types of quizzes are always a popularity contest. RDR2 is more popular and everyone loves Arthur Morgan. Not a good poll.
I think good subdermal armour would deflect shots long enough for V to crush Arthur’s head with his gorilla arms.
A natty V would get smeared by Arthur but come on this is just a popularity contest at this point. The average V playthrough has enough chrome to classify them as a road-worthy vehicle.
Yes… but now V has tuberculosis

I know one dude who kicks V’s ass no issue though…

He’s also got armour under his skin in many builds.
Come on, V is a cyborg merc with tech over 200 years more advanced than what Arthur has. With the right chrome V would be bulletproof to any weapon Arthur possesses. Arthur is a middle aged man with tuberculosis, sure his a violent criminal, but come on. Even if V was unarmed, he still wouldn’t stand a chance.
They didn’t ask who you thirst for.
There’s ZERO chance a cowboy and a 6 shooter are taking out a cyborg killer.
Like the 100th time I’ve seen this
Both chromed out the ass or bare-bones?
deadeye and good aim are the only thing in Arthur’s favor, YouTube pollsters are crazy
Reminder that YouTube polls (and generally most polls) are just popularity contest and a majority of people voting on them don’t ever actually think.
Love Arthur, but how the fuck is he stopping any version of V lol.
Pffft. These idiots clearly never played the game
One canonically dies from getting shot with a gun. The other canonically takes down a global corporate defense company with guns and survives.
I have almost 1400 hours in RDR2. I love that fucking game.
*V would kill Arthur, the VDL gang, the entire populations of Van Horne and Valentine…then go grab lunch.*

Arthur thinking he can get an easy W with Dead Eye when a chromed up V is still moving at normal speed thanks to his Sandevistan
Are we really going through this? Not only comparing historical old western fiction and high-tech sci-fi is incredibly stupid, but also that’s clearly an engagement bait. Like, for real
I highly doubt Arthur’s weapons could pierce V’s subdermal armor and exoskeleton
