They slow the degradation of weapons so you don't have to clean them as often.
Not online. They are currently useless.

Hi everyone,
I’m new to RDR2. I’ve seen a lot of YouTube videos where people are free roaming, I wasn’t sure how to do this?
I'm going through the Story mode at the moment (only about 10% of the way through), but each mission just seems to go after the other and I wasn’t sure how to just free roam around the maps?
Thanks
Ryan
Ignore the missions and just roam.

Apparently there's one particular rooftop with singlr access point, i.e. limited exposure/vulnerability. It is a headshot Paradise. Here's a map of all the rooftops.
The best rooftop is the "red teardrop" that is at 12 o'clock and closest to train station and fast travel marker.

I took a headshot as I jumped off my horse at the butcher; once again I have been had. So I rode out of town to a stranger and he assigned me a mission: avenging a killing. My assignment was to assassinate the player that had just griefed me!! Cool, I thought--revenge with XP and cash! But I guess the player received a notice there was a bounty on his head. I know sooner got a map fix and he was gone from the server. has anyone else encountered this or is Rockstar finally implementing worthwhile solutions??
No. The other player also gets a notification that they have been targeted. They can choose to fight back, ride for hills or quit the game. Remember it is still in beta mode. Therefore you will just have to tolerate this stuff.
One way of getting the drop on a griefer is in your ability cards there is one card that allows you to survive a headshot if you are wearing a hat. However you have to upgrade it and that costs a thousand exp and then $350.-

Just found a thread with most of the songs listed in a playlist on YouTube. You can probably find the song there!
Cheers mate.

Does anyone know the title of this music. I remember playing this mission and thinking how damn boring. Just been a go between for two star crossed lovers. Then this music kicked in and it made this mission for me. The fact it was night with a full moon shining bright, just made it a cool moment.

The red chestnut Arabian horse, is good, when it was free. The alligator saddle is ok. High roller pistol is ok. To be honest you are not missing out on anything special. There are better horses online, better pistols online. The saddle is not a game changer either.
-
During this beta phase, I believe there is no actual benefit from upgrade. We just blew hard earned cash on a cosmetic item.

It sure seems that way, doesn't it? I started getting the feeling it was heading this way after the first week which would be unfortunate. We have lives outside of gaming, families, work... I mean I can only commit to maybe 3 or 4 hours max per week. It would hardly be fair to charge me based on me having more things going on irl just to keep up with the dude who lives in his parent's basement and doesn't work, have kids, and has no responsibilities.
Lol yeah. I believe it will eventually kill the online game. Either pay up or grind for 20 hours doing repetitive stuff to buy a decent horse etc.

- More money when you loot bodies
- More places to loot, example; bandit camps, abandoned houses should have more stuff
- Better pay days for missions, more gold and cash (money is 19th century and prices are 21st century, really?)
- Free fast travel to camp
- Cheaper fast travel in general
- Cash reward for clearing bandit camps
- Bounty hunting for NPC's when your moral is in the white
- Fix the crashing
Anyone want to add anything?
Great ideas. But unfortunately, this game looks like following the GTAO model of milking players of their real cash. By implementing a ridiculous economy that demands players grind for many hours or visit the Playstation store.

After the completion of the game.......
A) How does Ross tie the money to Marston? Only witnesses, are Dutch, Charles, Sadie, and John, everyone else died. You see Ross talking to people but none of them would know how Marston got the money. Honestly, I went and did a butch of side missions, some of those was treasure hunting. Not sure why I even needed a loan at that point, should have been able to by Beechers Hope out right. Shoot I had almost 20k by then.
B) I know some of the gang got happy endings, but with the passion that Ross used to capture or kill the remaining members of the gang. What really happened to the remaining gang members? Yeah, Sadie was a bounty hunter, Charles headed north, Tilly got married. Why not hunt them down too?
It's called suspension of disbelief........ It refers to the reader/watcher's ability or desire (or both) to ignore, distort or underplay realism in order to feel more involved with the game, film, or book. This is a very common practice in many action movies, some books, but probably the most in video games. It is usually permitted and ignored because most people don't care about realism in their entertainment.

Jesus Christ bro are you ****ing retarded? Seriously there is no fine print that says anything about having to wait. Every other high-level item in the game won't even allow you to press the buy with gold button until you are the correct rank. So explain to me, maybe after I actually using your big boy brain what fine print you're talking about? Because again no where else in the game does it allow you to use gold on an item unless you are that correct rank. I'm done trying to explain this over and over again to an idiot.
Well I didn't get scammed, because I did use my big boy brain. The "fine print" is an expression of checking everything before shelling out cash. I'm not the fool whose complaining about being scammed.

Message rockstar sounds like a bug. I am assuming that you actually bought a bow. I cannot remember what rank you had to be to buy one.

When you're new at the game and you're not sure how everything works and it gives you the option to buy now, to me and many others it looks like it was giving me the option to buy early. There's no lies here, it definitely made it seem like if you use gold you wouldn't have to wait until that rank. Everything else at those high levels won't even give you the option to buy now with gold until you rank up to those specific levels. How dare you call me a liar when I'm not the one at fault.
Well you are really butthurt, perhaps next time when it involves using real cash you will read the fine print, before jumping in.

That should not have happened. Contact RS and let them know.

I think they are supposed to slow the degradation of the weapon by 10% or something like that. Don't know of it works.
No not at the moment. If you use the weapon often it degrades quite quickly.

In real life people get together once a week to play cards or bowl or play golf. I like the idea of posse members agreeing on a set time to play a couple-plus hours so a full 7-man force can wreak havoc!! Tactics.. working as a real team. BONUS: they could contribute to buying all the options for a really cool camp! Your thoughts?
Great idea. A Posse of 7 certainly makes grinding stranger mssions (when they work) real easy.

I'm originally from Louisville Kentucky and a family that celebrated the Kentucky Derby in a big way every year regardless of where we were individually or collectively. I actually look at the list of every winners since 1875 and thought it would be cool to use the name of the winner during one of the years in which the game takes place....
Cool lol

Online, my initial--current-- horse is a palomino, "Woody," no special significance or meaning.
I name mine after great racehorses here in NZ or Australia. I have followed over the years and won money. Fury's Order, Bonecrusher, Might and Power, Black Caviar, Champagne.

You can only get horses, by buying them at the stables. RS wouldn't make any coin, if we could just go out and catch one, break it in, then keep it in the stables. I cannot see it been changed either so don't hold your breath.

The old veteran side missions were the ones that I really enjoyed. It was great to be able to go out hunting and fishing with the old guy and see Arthur bonding and making a true friend.
I was as sorry as Arthur to see the missions come to an end. Is it possible to get a horse like Buell (the veteran's horse? I don't even recall what breed he was.
I was honoured to have Buell also as my friend as a result.
Except when he died on my after I foolishly left him on the railway tracks to post a letter. I gladly threw away 8 hours of gameplay to go back to an earlier save to save him.
And then I got caught daydreaming by a gang and killed (as happens when you're looking for perfect pelted varmints).
I didn't mind so much as I get killed often, I lose a bit of time and a bit of cash, I get on my horse and carry on.
Except that didn't work out with Buell. On waking up, I saw a strange horse wearing my saddle, carrying my gear. Buell was nowhere to be seen, not even as a corpse I could mourn over.
I didn't really want to rehash the past 20 hours of gameplay since that previous save game, so I have my new horse.
But, is it possible to get a horse like Buell again? I don't even recall what breed he was.
Man, I loved that horse.
Yes Buell is unique, one of my favourite horses in the single player. A must have. I think he may also be the biggest horse. Outside of the shires.
help! (mainly registered to ask this question).

Get a work horse for now, tons of stamina. The key is the saddle and stirrups. The better the saddle and stirrup perks. The better the performance of the horse.
