Strangers in Red Dead Redemption 2 are marked on the mini map with a white circle and a question mark. These markers only appear when the player is in proximity to the Stranger's location, and a mission is initiated upon approaching them. If a Stranger has multiple missions, their name replaces 'Stranger' on the map in future encounters. In Red Dead Online, the Stranger icon is an orange male silhouette, maintaining the same principle.
