Depends on what you value more and/or your playstyle.
Personally, I spent my money on long arms but I did buy dual Schofields and modded them. I went with those simply because I like them but they are also good sidearms. ....and I stuck with them because frankly, I rarely use handguns in this game.
I bought the Lancaster as soon as it was available and still use it at level 55+. The other weapon worth purchasing and upgrading IMO is the pump action shotgun. I eventually switched to the repeater shotgun and but I could have easily stuck with the pump. A shotgun and good lever action rifle is what I still rely on the most.
I will say that I did buy the Rolling Block rifle and eventually the Springfield which replaced it for big game / long range duty. I have several other weapons which rarely get used.

still in conversation with R* They are asking deep detail, pretty sure they have no clue. 4 days now. and they have 5 days till they release their upgrade??? someone screwed something up somewhere.
They obviously are interested in trying to rectify the situation. Not all issues can be easily replicated and require as much detail as they can get their hands on which is why the Support reps are asking so they can pass it along.

Hello virgil we have been finding hodeouts but they just dont register when we finish them.the stranger missions have always been a bit temperemental but 5 days and ive had about 3 or 4 actually start.real bad at the min.just wanted some feedback on the topic.cant load a single mission at all.and i lose all missions on the map like as if im on the mission.but it wont register
Other folks are having the same problem and some have reported that R* has acknowledged the issue and are working on it.
If you haven't already, I would urge you to report the issue through R* Support here:
The update hits next Tuesday so we'll see soon enough if it gets addressed. Other than that, there is no new news on the topic.

Oh right thought i had to have certain amount of posts and so on then i thought it had to be accepted by the team running the forum.how do i set up please kean
No problem Saffron. It's available to everyone.
The information is in the original post but here is the link:
https://www.rdr2.org/forums/clubs/
There is an option to the right to "Start a Posse". The option to name it, insert as description, platform, etc. is all in there. Hope this helps.

I bought both and to be honest, I (personally) stick with the repeating shotgun because it holds 6 instead of 5 rounds.
However, they're both effective enough so the only thing IMO is the value. In that sense, the pump is a better value IMO and the first weapon that is unlocked IIRC. Given its usefulness, I would recommend folks get it as soon as it's available to them. .....so with that in mind, the repeater shotgun is a personal choice at that point but not really necessary IMO.

I've reported several issues and responses I have received were always open about known or common problems. Of course, the answer is always going to be the same though (that they are working on it).

RED DEAD ONLINE BETA UPDATE ARRIVES NEXT WEEK
ALL NEW WORLD ENHANCEMENTS, MODES AND MORE FROM FEBRUARY 26
Next week the Red Dead Online Beta frontier expands with all new Free Roam Events, a host of new Showdown Modes, and new Races coming as part of its first title update on Tuesday, February 26. This update also brings the first batch of new Weapons, Clothing, and Emotes for your character, as well as a series of improvements and balances detailed last week. Also starting on Tuesday, February 26 look out for new content and special promotions weekly.
New Gameplay
New additions will include the Fool’s Gold Free Roam Event, where players will compete to control an equal parts gaudy and protective suit of Golden Armor. Fight to take down the armor wearer to earn points and claim it as your own, then turn the tables and earn points for kills while wearing the armor.
Competitive Challenges gets a fresh catch with Fishing Challenges. Fishing Challenges are broken out by type, opt in to the challenge and you’ll receive all the equipment necessary to compete including the rod as well lures and bait specific to the challenge type, whether it’s crickets for a river challenge, crayfish for the swamp or worms for lakes. Then head to an appropriate body of water to take part – also, you’ll be made safe from the nuisance of trigger-happy outlaws while you are taking the challenge. Catch the highest weight total of fish to win.
Also on the way are three new Showdown Modes where players and teams compete to capture and deliver bags, steal loot from each other and survive. Stay tuned for more details around Up in Smoke, Spoils of War and Plunder. Races will also see a new variation with Target Races where players shoot targets from horseback to pass checkpoints as they race along a track to the finish line.
New Weapons
B.D. and Co. is turning out the high grade, high capacity Evans Repeater rifle. The Rare Shotgun is D.D. Packenbush’s latest variation of the powerful double-barreled longarm. Sporting an antique style faded brass finish and an artfully adorned stock. Both weapons will be available via the Wheeler & Rawson Catalogue and local Gunsmiths.
New Clothing and Emotes
A wide range of new clothing to further customize your character – from the snake adorned Diamondback Hat to the fur trimmed Rutledge Vest – is also on the way with new Outfits, Jackets, Boots, Coats, Gloves, Hats, Vests and more. In addition to all the clothing that will be available for purchase at your leisure, keep an eye on the shops and the Catalogue for unique special items that will come and go. A variety of new Emotes is also on the way – featuring everything from greets to reactions and taunts.PS4 Early Access Content
In addition to new Target Races, PlayStation 4 players will have early access to Open Target Races where you compete in an open space to take out the most targets on horseback. PS4 players will also get early access to the Jawbone Knife, a unique melee weapon with a handle artfully carved from the remains of a slain animal’s jaw, as well as a range of new clothing options and 3 new Emotes.Bonus XP This Week
Play the Red Dead Online Beta all this week to earn 20% more XP on all activities ahead of the launch of these new updates on February 26. And be sure to look out for new bonuses, giveaways, promotions and content updates weekly, as we continue to build, balance and evolve the world of Red Dead Online -
Hi Stoney and welcome to the forums.
I'm going to go ahead and move this to our recruitment sub forum which is better suited for these kinds of posts.

There should be nothing preventing you from doing so.

Also...
I noticed last night that lawmen posse’s seem to have a quicker response time and come in greater numbers now, or was that just me? Anyone else notice this?
With all the weird stuff people have been experiencing lately, it wouldn;'t surprise me if it was due to tweaks they have been making on their end in preparation for the update next week.

Griefers come in all forms. .....and there are more and more of them cropping up that are low level.
I've been in the same boat where we have had to continually kill a low level player simply because he would not go away. We report them and block them. Sometimes it's us that have to eventually leave the session. Gets old really fast IMO as there is no challenge nor desire to continue.
This may change with the new update however. With a bounty and NPC posses in the mix, they will likely have their hands full allowing victims to simply move on while they are stuck defending themselves from the law. Also, I doubt many would welcome a Feud. The darkening blip and detection won't do them any favors either as I'm sure there are those who are just waiting at the chance to take these griefers out using that new mechanic as a tool to hunt them down.

@Kean,
In random Posse roaming you never exchange platform info. So PS4 and Xbox players playing together without a problem. So why not in Possegroup?
I thought you meant a posse in the Posse subforum on this website. I guess I don't understand your point then.
In the game, you are playing with people on your own platform. In your case, you are only playing with those who also play on XB1s. RDO is not a cross-platform title.
In other words, no. PS4 and XB1 players are not currently playing together in RDO Free Roam or under any other circumstances within the game. It is currently impossible to do so. They don't need an exchange of platform info.
-
I agree with Xped. .....especially if they are doing it through messaging as that would be definitive proof.
Although nothing is likely to come of it, I would also try the R* in-game reporting option as well. On PS4 we have an option to block but I just don't know how that works on XB1.

Reason being, I wait until everyone else in the house is asleep, so there's nights I don't get on until 2200 or 2300.
That's about the time I get on. Usually 0730 - 0800 PST.

I'm going to go ahead and merge both threads on this topic together.
3 hours ago, BurbonChaser said:I put in another ticket this morning and they got back to me real quick. They said that they are aware of the situation as many people have put in tickets on this. They are trying to identify the problem and put a fix in.
Thanks for the update Burbon. That's good news that they are aware of the issue and folks are reporting on it.
To All,
I would again encourage those who have not reported this issue (if you are encountering it) to please do so. Even though R* is apparently aware of it, the more people that report it, the better the the chances of a quick resolution.

Back on topic of player traps.....
I had a recent run in with a 100+ lvl player in the town of Tumbleweed. Two of us rode into town while the other player went about his business. Neither of us bothered with each other as we went to each store, stable, etc. When I went to the butcher however and finally exited, he shot at me. I looked and realized he appeared to be in the building next to the gunsmith. Since the bldg isn't accessible (AFAIK), I suspected he was on the roof.
His first shot either missed or had no effect but both of us were able to move away from his LOS. It was then I realized he was glitched inside of the building. He would try to partially clip through the front door and take shots at us but there was no way to get to him. I even tried dynamite.
I'm guessing he found a way to glitch into the bldg and then would shoot unsuspecting people from there. Either way, his exploits were short lived as both my friend and I got a blue screen soon after it all started.

I hope the varmint rifle stays good and accurate for hunting....but I won't be one bit sad if it sucks in PvP. IMO, It is too OP and should not be able to compete with other rifles. I've used it to defend myself in free roam and was astonished at how I could easily take down someone from so far away. It made me feel like I was a superstar....but I really wasn't.
They've mentioned that they would bring the accuracy of the Varmint rifle "more in line" with other rifles. I hope that includes the acquisition time as that is one of the main reasons folks use it beyond its intended purpose.

Lmao. Seems like no one here knows what they want.
....quite the opposite. I think it's quite clear most just want focus.....a goal for the group based on a common interest.
For me, that is easier to accomplish with smaller groups. Not that larger groups in sessions haven't been fun, but I seem to get way more accomplished when it's 4 or less without all the farting around.

I feel blessed so far in rdr2 to have met some fun players who i can play hours with and not be bored or annoyed.but starting to realise its harder than i thought to make bigger posse as it can become very stressful.i just want to play for fun and tactics in game.to many players are secret griefers.who slowly show true colours.aint for me at all.i want to play for fun and thats it.
I hear you.
Seems to me I have more luck in groups of 4 or less. I've been in a couple groups of 7 and it tends to be chaos. Folks screwing around and yeah, sometimes one of them griefing another player and getting the rest involved.

May be a stupid question, but is there a problem having different consoles in One Posse-Group?
Because the first question is mostly "what's your system ?".
You can set it up any way you like but to be honest, most are simply looking for those they can play with. .....and if your posse is "mixed", it may tend to cause confusion or frustration.
I honestly doubt RDO will ever be cross-platform and if it is, that is a looooong way off I reckon.

Have you provided feedback to R*?
https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892
They could have had the best intentions with the vote-kick feature as others have in the past. Unfortunately, it's one of those things that can be abused as it is in some other games as well.

Is there an actual page where it states what is being updated or how big the actual update file is? I am curious. It isn't that important but I am just wondering.
That link I posted a couple replies ago to the thread contains everything that has been released about the update so far.
There is supposed to be more details announced this week regarding the update for next week. As to what those details will be, no one knows.
Either way, the update is coming next week so we'll all know soon enough.
Which weapon should I buy in online mode next?
