Ive been working on this for sometime. Its it very near complete and I tried to be as accurate as possible. Just needed to get it posted before the holiday vacation. Current prices on all animal carcus, pelts and parts as of update 1.05 Please let me know if this is not showing up correctly. My original had links for every animal to the rockstar compendium and everything but its just too much for the upload I guess.

I go to a sockeye salmon spot, use the special lake lure to get ten of those, then I drop a carcass in the water and wait like five minutes until there are a ton of fish near it. I drop in dynamite and wait for the damaged fish to float up. I usually get about 20 or more fish from that and not all of them go to one *, some stay ** and ***. I get 25 for the salmon and that 1 dollar stick of dynamite gets me 20-30 more. I do it this way because If I get killed I dont lose the fish.

If all else fails you can do what my buddy did, he couldn't get rid of these "free horse" so he parked it on the train tracks. That did the trick.

Almost everything about this game seems to suck. In the former Red Dead game I would play for hours and make progress but this is a slow slog of crap that is over complicated. I gave up and doubt I will even finish the game. And ONLINE sucks really bad.

This post is about story mode. So would dynamite.

I like how the lack of "realism" is brought up and then an argument for being able to "roll, snap and flick" to get headshots more easily.

We can discuss this over and over, but everyone has the same possibilities so the playing ground is equal for all. For me the cards are the main grind reason and although I agree in Free Roam the gameplay should be altered in gunfights (PVP) due to the griefing aspect or not being ready for surprise attacks. In PVP different builds will actually give players different scenarios to have to counter, so I don't really agree, although I haven't done PVP. From what I have read there are more important problems such as the varmint headshot rifle that need to be addressed. As far as loadouts are concerned there are a lot of combinations possible and I can't really comment on PVP although your loadout will depend on your skill. If you rack up headshots running Eye for an Eye III combined with strange medicine III will keep health and dead eye at good levels combined with slow and steady III which gives you a decent chance at surviving more encounters. As for a 3rd passive you might want to consider Winning Streak III as a damage booster for both headand body damage. In PVE Slippery Bastard or slow and steady seem to be decent abilities. I always use Never without one III to be able to counter the surprise attacks from other online players. There are loads of cards that are decent like Peak Condition as damage booster as well as Horseman as in PVE damage output in general is more useful compared to health and dead eye regeneration at this point of the game. Currently working on getting the Posse beneficial cards to level 3 in order to be able to run a support character which benefit the better skilled PVP players I usually run with and am wondering how that will work. I assume these Posse related cards will be great later in in larger scale PVE and PVP team based gameplay.

....and you thought I was joking around?

Whaaat? Whaaaat does this even mean? Theres nothing overly complicated about this game. And the pace of the game is up to to the player. You can't complain about not making 'progress' if you stop playing the game. IMO this is the best game i've played in years.

Hello out there, I'm from the southwest United States enjoying the travels of Arthur Morgan, I got to Chapter III and decided I may have missed some content so I manual saved and started over. I play with an Xbox elite controller and some Razer Kraken Xbox One Headphones. Still getting surprised by all sort of people and critters. I only have a couple of PVP session under my belt. I figure I need to connect my mike and socialize more. The Game reminds me of places close to home.

I loved this game (story mode), but I've never got on with online play (I'm the wrong side of 50 now and hate being "owned" by lightning fingered 14yo with time to burn). But as I love playing around in this "world", and as I could get in on Day2, I thought I'd give it a go. On the whole I love it, but I am seeing many comments about "Griefers" (new word for me). But are they really a problem? I read other posts on here, with some great tips/tactics on how to deal with them. So I played last night with the intention of trying these new techniques..and not one person randomly shot me!! To be fair, I have played Beta for at least 30hrs and I have been shot for no reason about 10 times. Most often just a late 19th century drive-by. A couple of times someone has tried I was able to defend my self and send them packing (which felt great!!). The one time I did get "owned" was when I mistakenly "sniped" someone (I'm claiming mistaken identity), who then hunted me down and killed me 5 times in a few minutes. I got the offer for a parley/feud but tried to kill him again (another death), at which point I said "You are totally kicking my butt!", we chatted about how he'd got his levels, and I ended up posseing up with him and he showed me how he'd levelled up, and gave me lots of tips etc. For me, there seems to be several ways to play the game. Alone, focusing on hunting fishing etc, I've been able to do this (mostly) untroubled. Its just getting to the limited Butcher's shops that is the problem. Secondly, I think you need to posse up. It is so much easier when someone has your back (especially if they're quite good!), also its better for doing many of the missions. But therein lies my problem. Being a "giffer" (oldie!) I don't have a network of online friends. I have friends (a few) but they don't play online at all. I am hoping that once I've done my 20 posts, I can try to find some posse members on here as I think its the way forward. I also feel that this so-called "griefing" problem could get worse. However, for me, I think it's much more fun to get two posse's and re-enact "Gunfight at the OK coral". I'd also like more gunfighting (duels) rather than outright murder. I think GTA V, went too far down the "just shoot everyone on site" philosophy. With RDO I think R* have the makings of something great. But if it is going to develop into a genuine and immersive world, there needs to be some way to "police" the "griefers" (I prefer murderous psychopaths). Here's a thought, how about have R* sponsored Pinkertons. Other higher level "honorable" players who set up as law-keepers and track down repeated offenders. Its what happened in The Wild West. I'd wear a Tin Star, it'd be funny. Anyway, going back to my opening question; no, I don't think that griefing is a huge problem at the moment, they can be avoided. R* could help, by reducing the need to visit the very limited number of places to sell stuff; perhaps introduce a few "mobile" trappers around the world. They could also stop sending my camp to New Austin, there are no shops and its pretty lawless as you'd expect and I certainly don't want to go all the way down there just to do some cooking. (I know I can move the camp but $2 is $2). However, as Beta ends and more people join I think there is the possibility that griefing could be become an issue. However, I think the way forward is co-op. I've done a few posses and it is definitely easier. Its definitely harder to grief/troll someone when there are 3 others to retaliate while you respawn and get your horse back.

Ahhh.... Guess I read it the wrong way, sorry. Yeah, Creed and I had that discussion about kids and when they're ready, etc. Although mine isn't, there are still basic safety rules I teach him if he does encounter any guns. .....stop, don't touch, leave the area immediately and tell an adult (preferably my wife or myself). As shooters/owners, we abide the same simple rules 1) Treat every gun as if it is loaded 2) Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy 3) Keep your finger off the trigger until you're on target and ready to fire 4) Know your target and what is beyond. There are variations of the verbiage and even additional rules but those are typically the primary ones that you'll hear. You obviously should know how a particular weapon operates before handling it (e.g. so you know how to clear it), know the correct ammunition type to use (it might fit and even be the right caliber but not what is recommended for the weapon), use eye and ear protection, etc., etc. It's funny, I've been complimented before in a gun shop when I cleared a weapon the clerk handed to me even though he just checked it himself 10 seconds prior with me watching. I told him that I always treat every gun as loaded which means I'm going to check it myself regardless and then still treat it like it's loaded. .....first rule. With years of repetition I find these things to be second nature. I'm also find myself to be very attuned to what others are doing around me when they are handling guns at a range, in a shop, etc. Gun safety is the utmost importance and something I take very seriously. .....as should everyone.

Think about GTA 5. Took Rockstar two years after initial release to bring the game to PC. It came out for consoles September 2013 and came to PC April 2015. Could easily be two years before we see a PC version of the game but I see no reason why they wouldn't do it

If you havn't looked up the Doom soundtrack or even played Doom you are doing life wrong

Hopefully it works at @GMak81. If not try a hard reset on your console. I've had some issues with the game such as mission locks online etc and Rockstar Support (after contacting them) said that a hard reset would fix the issue and it did

@Ryanosaurus @Truth Thanks pardners, I have looked through satchel inventory, weapon wheel etc, I'll try as Ryan says to use the d pad. If it works, I will update as it may help others. Thanks for the speedy replies, I'm now booting it up!

For me daytime is the only time they attack me. Usually find a guy hanging from a tree and they just charge at me all silently and psychotically from there. Its unnerving how quiet they are though. Its gotten to the point now that if I see a poor Ba****d hanging I just keep on riding.

I was stuck on this too but its not a glitch and very easily fixed. Go to your weapon wheel and bring up your knife. While the knife is highlighted use your depad to click either left or right and it should be there. So instead of using the trigger buttons to bring up melee weapons use the depad to cycle through them. Took me awhile to figure it out too. When you pick up other melee weapons in future do the same to cycle through them Hope this helps

Maybe they'll finally get it to "snow" instead of just rain in Ambarino. Weather online up there is ****** atm. Even better add snow to more places on the map so wearing warm clothes is viable.

Wouldn't you think it would be a case you just use the dollar currency to buy in instead of using the gold bars?

I'm pretty sure the Hanging dog Ranch respawns a gang there after completion. Not 100% sure but you could check it out. There are also a few spots in New Austin like Twin Rocks that spawn Del Lobo gang members. Both would be considered "gang hideouts"

Thats amazing. Any good locations you could recommend @madfretter ?

Well, for one, my kid is too young at this point in his life to be handling guns but I wouldn't recommend anyone jumping fences, holstering or otherwise handling a weapon in a "ready to fire" state unless they are actually ready to shoot. That would go for several of the real life counterparts of the weapons repesented in this game that have no safety and are ready to shoot with just a pull of the trigger once (for example) the hammer is cocked back. You would be asking for a negligent discharge to happen. IMO, the "recocking" of most of these weapons makes sense to me. Howvere, rechambering a round each time in the "bolt action rifle", not so much but then again, I'm not familiar with the Krag's (the real life rifle's) safety features, quirks, etc. .....but beyond all this nonsense, it's just a game with a touch of historical accuracy, a dash a realism, some randomness and other features to make the game more immmersive. .....and I think they got it right for the most part to keep it still fun. ...btw, not too sure why you were asking me this question. I wasn't agreeing with the OP.

A wee tip, get the Lake Lure out just opposite the butcher in Blackwater, Lake Sturgeon are plentiful and it's the quick carry across to the butcher that makes the difference, you can rack up a few every time you're down there. Admittedly it's a busy bit and shots to the head while you actually have a fishing rod in your hands is a hazard, but I've had few problems lately.

I hate to say it but I think showdown series are the fastest way to gain money and xp. If you're opposed to that, then hunting and fishing is the way to go. Deer and rabbits are plentiful and bagging a 3* deer carcass is worth $7($10 for a buck) plus the money you get for their pelts. 2 rabbit carcasses add up to $7 as well.as for fish, most are worth $1 apiece. You can hold up to 10, so that' $10 for 10 of 1 species. Trout and salmon are worth $2.50 apiece, or $25 for a full load. Around the coast north of St. Denis and around the boardwalks in the swamps you can find herons, spoonbills and pelicans and a full load of their plumes will net you around $15. While you're there, kill any gators you see. A full load of big game meat will give you $7.50.

I noticed in tumble weed theres a poker table upstairs with chairs around it. I mean to me anyways it looks just like a proper poker setup so I would imagine it will be introduced. It was in Red Dead Redemption so I cant see why they wouldn't do it for the 2nd one. Still early days yet

That'd be awesome for a business option.

I'd have blown that guy away and left.

Did an little research, apparently the cabin is part of a side mission in the story. The thing is I don't recall that cabin being accessible in story mode perhaps that is just because I haven't finished (80%). From what I have read, the drawings area tie in to the Episolon Cult in GTA V. Speaking of mysteries, the landscape of RDR2 is fairly organic in that it changes with the passage of time. The lumber camp fell all the trees and is abandoned, Wapiti vanishes after you start the Epilogue, gallows get erected in various towns, have people noticed similar things in online play?

The most important thing is options. choose your mode, choose time, choose team, choose map, choose load out, choose free aim or auto, choose private lobby, etc etc

I don't know if that was necessarily a troll so much as perhaps a younger inexperienced player who thought he was helping. Griefing usually has a pointed, targeted method to the madness, but this was more like the crazy guy I see every day who chases pigeons in Public Square. He chases them just to chase them, and I doubt he'd even know what to do with them if he ever caught one.

This. I mean it is great we are talking about issues here and all but nothing will get solved if we only complain to each other.

I have done this plenty of times on other games and it doesn't always work. I put it to the test a few nights ago and I just let the group keep doing their worst. I went to Taco Bell and got some food. Came back and the second I started doing something, they showed up again. lol No lifers.

....funny, I had noticed it raining in snowy regions but I guess I just never noticed if it snowed in RDO. I definitely did in the campaign though. As such, it shouldn't be a problem for them to add it to online.

The OP was here saying the same thing over a month ago and yet, here he is still. I played the hell out of the original RDR and to be perfectly honest, RDR2 felt like more of the same but simply improved. .......improved in many ways whether it's the physics, the animations, graphics, additional content, size, mechanics, etc. All of this contributes to the feeling of more depth in RDR2. When I started playing this game, it felt like a natural continuation of RDR to me. I have no idea what the OP is talking about. I also like RDO but then again, I also realize it's a beta and is currently a shell of what it will be. Folks like the OP don't want to hear constructive feedback or suggestions that may help his in-game experience. .....believe me, we've already tried. Folks like this will post their frustration disappear and then reappear a few day / weeks later to post the same thing. I have nothing against folks that don't like certain games. There are plenty I don't like myself. ......but then again, I don't keep revisiting fan forums to complain about them because I usually just move on. When there is nothing salvageable in a game like in the OPs case, it's probably time to cut your losses.

Yep, agreed because they seem to have put a lot of effort into the weather systems. Not as nice as Horizon Zero Dawn though! But then again, if it snowed up in the Grizzlies we'd all be too poor to buy woolly socks. Gold socks. Yes please.

If you guys really want to help effect change, submit your feedback to R*. Provide them with the details of your experience with the gold bar system. I suspect it's an oversight if it is occurring as some describe and not intentional deceit but then again, some will automatically assume the worst regardless.

Not sure. I got the War Horse for pre-ordering, maybe they made it available for everyone.

That's awful Red!! You really mean that I've got to go and shoot the place up willy-nilly. Oh well, its a dirty job but someone has to do it I suppose...

No. One of the key elements necessary to prove fraud is intent. Unless there's a paper trail via inter-company communications (email, memos) that proves this was an intentional element implemented to induce the customer to purchase gold via microtransactions, this does not rise to the level of fraud. This thread is the exact reason why I've elected to hoard my gold that was awarded, and not purchase additional gold until the mode is out of Beta. The final product is going to be different--which is why online games have Terms of Service or License Agreements that specifically state that as a consumer, you don't actually own the game, you're just purchasing a license to access a service. It's an important distinction, one which allows for on-the-fly changes to come without warning and with very few protections built in for the customer. A lawsuit will also be immediately challenged by R*.

Herbert Moon. That guy's a racist arsehole.

You could technically do that now, but I'm guessing your pals wouldn't be very happy about it..

I've only really been griefed twice, both times the player followed me and followed me. The first time the guy killed me 7 times then messaged me "sorry". I didn't know about parley at the time or the report button. The second guy killed me for no reason then followed me so I killed him a couple of times and made it to my camp. He followed me there and made a total ass of himself just waiting for me to leave. He even messaged me "when you leave you get it" so I reported him. It had some effect - the next day his message to me was gone when I went to block him. But you are right about posses but I only have one friend that plays and he doesn't play much. But a guy here (HooverRAD) is starting a persistent posse and that may be what I need. I doubt anyone will mess with 7 players in a posse but there are some 12 yr old idiots out there. I don't know - I fish a lot and don't want to hold up a posse from doing other things, so I ply solo 99% of the time. I've played since the first day I could and have been killed plenty but only really bothered those 2 times.

I bought all the clothes I already did not own. The weapons more or less comes with the story and I had them already primped out and fully upgraded by then. I am somewhat OCD when it comes to have my weapons clean so I always carry 99 gun oil and clean my weapons after every fight. I also stack up with 99 of all fishing things just because fishing gives me some kind of inner peace and I also love to hunt. Of course I buy horses but most money I guess will just stay in my “treasury”. But at the rate I play story mode just for fun even after epilogue, I am certain my money will run out sooner or later and then I guess I need to become a professional hunter to cover my expenses.

Please forgive an old guy (69) for doing what old guys are known for....ranting nonsense. I played RDR1 on day one, and enjoyed every minute of it. I waited years to see a RDR2 release. I havent been disappointed with it. Although I am far from considering myself a hardcore gamer, I am a person that has been known to pay 200 bucks for a new video card and memory upgrades for any game that caught my fancy. I also thought that Doom was a technical marvel that would never be surpassed. Overclocking and water coolers. Tetris will never die! I have always looked at video games as being movies that we get to play the lead character. Those are the type of games that I have enjoyed the most. Shooting monsters or robots in outer space just never got the bone stiff. And like movies, everyone has their likes and dislikes. There is no accounting for taste. If anybody wants to debate whether Rio Bravo is a better western than Shane, go for it. The Wild Bunch was my favorite. I consider this a western themed video game. A genre all to itself. Rockstar put a lot of effort into this game and I think it shows. The crunch time stuff and all of the problems in production paid off in the finished product. The devils in the details are amazing. They took RDR1 and polished the sh!t out of it. They took the newer tech and made it work. To me, they wrote a compelling story. When Travis shot old yeller, it kicked me in the nuts. When .............................I got the same feeling. There are times in this game where I wished they would just get to the friggin conclusion and end it. I consider that my own impatience and not a fault of the game. At my age, slow pace isnt considered a problem....its a way of life.

LOL this must be why the game made $750M in 3 days. Because it "sucks". No. You're just looking for something specific and RDR2 is not delivering that to you. Also known as being childish and irrational.

This is probably one of those things that (if it REALLY matters) you could just tape up your controller and do something else.

Really rockstar. No money given to us at start of online. Really gripes me that you have to grind so much for a game where it makes you purchase shark cards or whatever the cards for rdr2 be.
