I've never had it lose cargo. Not once. I only use it if I stumble across a herd of deer, pigs, cows... Then I call it.. fill it up.. and dismiss it like cold storage. Then I continue on my way. and try to remember to empty it when I hit camp again.. eventually. worth having but awkward to summon, etc.

I deliver full loads of whiskey almost entirely in CINEMATIC MODE... I never steer myself.... I always deliver 20/20 You are golden until checkpoint... then they will wave you through... or ask you to pull you over.. NEVER STOP! Keep going.. always... If they told you to keep going.. they will not chase you.. the entire mission just by holding X button... If they do tell you to pull over.. keep going.. they will start shooting too late to damage. However.. if they told you to pull over they will eventually give chase... EXIT WAGON... bullets break bottles. draw fire away from wagon by bailing., Kill, loot... drive again... back into CINEMATIC.. until you hear more chasers... bail.. kill. loot redrive.. cinematic... 20 out of 20.. every time. Easy peezy... no steering every time.. no shooting half the time (when they let you through checkpoint). $200+ per load/hour at max level.

If they removed the card they should give us back the RDO $900... is what they cost us. I just equipped it on mine ( Slippery Bastard ability card ). It's a "dead eye" card and can only be equipped in the first slot.

It would be nice if it fit the semi auto shotgun. I opened it in gun store just to try,, nope. If you have the coupon then your golden vendetta.

Cripps likes the dog since update. Least i don't feel like shooting cripps every time I pet the dog.

Yep, always good to one up those who shoot at us first.... even stories bring a tear to my eye. If youre in defensive mode dynamite arrows are great for hard to aim situations... without auto aim. For retribution; it would depend on how many players. Repeater with explosive ammo or navy revolvers with explosive ammo. Incendiary shotgun is good if your character has health because t lights up the griefer and the horse. If distance matters I would use the exploding rifle rounds. My normal travel is griefer minded so I have dynamite arrows fitted with bolt action .. that I switch to explosive if I see pvp possibility.. (another player - I dont grieve). I always travel in offensive mode because it has improved regarding amount of griefing, and I have a pvp arsenal that's usually pretty stocked.... often griefers are after school players and have used up all their good ammunition, or have not reached high enough levels. I suppose we all like hunting griefers. I have not had a chance to try the toxic bottles in pvp but they look like fun also... are fun against npcs When you are using butcher/nazar/fence you can switch to map mode and see if people are camping you (sometimes.. Im confused nowadays).... if the blue dots moving away t means they have their back to you and you can shoot them (in the back... how "unneighborly").... or get on your horse and ride away. If you're unsure of someone or just want them to leave you alone.. Use a poison arrow on their horse. By the time they stop and administer a remedy you'll be a memory to them.... Will stop someone from chasing you... permanently. If unsure of a player you can always put an object (even your own horse) between you and that player. Then they cannot injure you straight up. If you place yourself on another side of a herd.. their rifles will lock onto the anmals.. wagoneers, etc. A good way to frustrate a griefer into moving from position if you do it casually... like your picking daisies.

Yes.. what flu007 said. I would add do not hold it down or it will open the catalogue... so just tap it.. as said. From there a menu will pop up that allows you to do a lot.. join posses... switch your character to defensive mode (online options)... visit the stables and call your vehicles... It also has a section with a number beside it of the daily challenges. Which is an easy way to make gold for if you do 1 (do at least 2) a day for 21 days each task becomes worth .5 gold.. and then it adds up several gold per day on average. Some tasks include things like "pet a dog", "feed a horse", eat 3 stews, kill 5 flying birds, sell 3 items to nazor, etc... some are so simple it is easy to log on daily for a few minutes to fulfill at least 2 tasks. Good luck. Tap left as flu007 said.

Still fun to learn how many pelts the horse can carry. I never knew it was 60 until just now and my character is fairly well rounded. Thanks for that tidbit... and hope that we to may one day find animals again (very late at night/early morning seems sure thing also).
-
freakshow gave the best solution for now. Unsure if the cougars are waking up like they should.... and I have a video getting 5 in one night in front of marstens future ranch. But start a legendary bounty and hunt while ignoring bounty or any mission that sends you to a low population or private mission server. Hopefully they get it working soon or the game shall continue to be a little lame. I spnet an hour swimming in lagras thinking i could get 1 alligator... Its prettyu bad... I use 15 bullets in same time and space as I used to use 100 varmint bullets.. so 85% less minimum. Its a game issue they will need to resolve.. but we are sort of the beta for this new content.

Collecting has been nerfed by a lot. Hunting almost non existent atm. Moonshine is glitched on certain BUYERS... I'm pretty sure you can bypass the loading screen glitch if you bypass certain buyers like Frank bennett. I've had better luck sticking to the same buyers and type of whiskey. I thought id get better experience with more recipes.. but it s best because of glitches to just do the ones that work.. If they fail to load... reload and take bottles to cheaper buyer. For moonshining stick to the customers and whiskey recipes that work for you and your location... Save the fanciness for after they debug. At level 20 Highest level mash cost $20-50 depending on how many maggie missions you do (I just do them to leave cookhouse because her missions usually end closer to town or camp). So - $50 for 48 minute brew. that sells for about $227-$247. If you smash just one bottle you are down $50RDO. I suggest driving wagon in CINEMATIC MODE and powering through all roadblocks without firing at them.... If they wanted you to pull over they will gve chase... but with warning in cinematic mode... and if they dont pull you over (frequently happens) they will never give chase. You can do the entire mission just by holding the button down (no steering)... I always get 20/20 bottles delivered... if they give chase you need to stop and shoot them a few times.. but still easy way. <$50 mash - $247 profit = >$197 48 minutes to make brew + 10 minute delivery and return. So... $200 hour. Not bad actually... if you can avoid the loading glitches and Marcel doesn't go on strike... Make sure he has brewed at least 1 bottle prior to leaving cookhouse.... sometimes he has the stuff and doesn't like to work... I think its when we re-flavor as 1 cause.. but unsure. Bottom line though $200+/hour

They come from looting NPC's also so it depends on your gameplay how quickly you will fill up. Not that youre willing to complain for yourself yet... Those affected by space and useless coupons might be more upset. It does not appear to be a limit on how many you can pick up.. just on how many you can carry.. so it could be a problem... too soon to know. I was full of them. I had to use some up. Maybe they gave us the honor ones because they were removing animals from the game.. harder to get/maintain high honor without hunting.
-
@ Pluck3, Are you sure you are talking about the lame coupons we are getting or are you off on something else? YOU SOUND LIKE I'M AGAINST OUTLAW PASS... Which would make you... um...WRONG! I'm speaking of the useless coupons that cannot be deleted. How does a card that grants you reverse honor helpful to anyone... I mean.. sure.. maybe if a new player is too lame to learn how to lose honor by shooting a few NPC's then fine.. but 4 of those things... Which you CANNOT DELETE. Example: I have a coupon to unlock 1 free ability card. I actually have a few of them... How stupid are these if you have all the ability cards unlocked... and they only have a $50 value. YOU CANNOT DELETE THEM. You can only carry so many.... yet you cannot stop rockstar from sending them... and you cannot delete them... That cannot work for very long.. ITS BUGGED.. PERIOD! IF YOU CANNOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE INABILITY TO DELETE THESE COUPONS IS DAFT... OR BUGGED... Then I truly could care less about your uninformed opinion. You will see Rockstar will one day allow us to delete these lame coupons... I'm sure of it. Then you can call their idea useless. Maybe a programmer from there will realize by reading a thread in a place like this. What does your amount of gold or RDO have to do with anything? I have all the best game assets after dropping $800 on the navy Revolvers. This thread is about USELESS REWARD COUPONS... and yes.. if you need to use one.. then fine.. but many are totally pointless even to new players..... Soooo... Youre saying that every time I play for the next 10 years... I have to scroll; past my "unlock ability for free" coupons. simply because Rockstar wont allow us to delete them.. how stupid would that be? That said I imagine before a year is up they will add more ability cards.... so maybe I can use them eventually... But is there a limit... Can you only hold 99 useless cards and then you are full... what then? You cant use them/..... or delete them.... USE YOUR BRAIN.... THINK.... Then comment. Not allowing us to delete the cards WE deem as useless.. is bugged.... Its a bug.. no way around it...

12/19/19 Weekly Bonuses, Holiday Specials, etc.
Darconios replied to Kean_1's topic in Red Dead Online
Made it harder to find yellow chantrelles... and everything lol The white background makes all white "herb" dead eye markers harder to see, It's doable. just less fun to find herbs for a week or so. Too bad since they took animals out of the game.. At least my horse got to swim for an hour in Lagras looking for a Gator.. hes very refreshed.. still no gator.. but he got a good mile swim in... Finding herbs is usually an alternate to hunting... gotta stock up sometimes. The bar music was horrid... unsure if xmas carols makes it better or worse. -
**Animal Spawn Issue Discussion** (Since Summer and Recent Updates)
Darconios replied to Jimblob's topic in Troubleshooting
Ditto to above post. I just spent 1 hour SWIMMING my horse around Lagras trying to find 1 single alligator... I actually needed 3 for the daily... but WOW!... Not even a gator in the swamps. I've killed hundreds of gators in this game... So I know a few of their hiding spots... even in the middle of the swamps they were gone... no breathing noses... I got the achieve for killing every animal in the game long ago.. but a person starting today would have a hard time finding a bison or a gator.. never mind finding something really rare.. like a cow. The game is very lame without the ability to shoot stuff... and the one mob stuff like sea of thieves skeletons wears thin... You can only shoot so many roadblocks or gang hideouts... Some people want to do hunting and trades.. I get that Rockstar wants us to buy everything with gold... but that will not happen if people give up on the game because it is lame again... I am only here for 8 more levels on my outlaw pass and then I'll go play something exciting.. like YONDER or MINECRAFT! I just wasted 1 hour trying to earn 1/3 of .5 gold..... I may be slow.. but I know not to try it again... EVER... and that is sad and why this game is likely going to die off. How many other activities have I learned not to even bother with.. like hunting? Even when this game was lame with PVP and griefers everywhere .. the hunting and wolves and bears made it somewhat fun... I enjoyed running around the islands in the morning before work.. shooting small fictitious animals... I made a YouTube video where I showed the hunting on the islands... It would take me close to 1 hour to fire all 100 of my varmint rifle bullets... Toadya in that same hour.. I have used 15 bullets with 85 remaining.... That means at least on the islands... There has been an 85% drop in iguanas/crabs/ducks etc.. in that location (try to find a crab nowadays.. i double dare ya - it will take you hours). If Rockstar is overcrowding the servers or removing animals to encourage gold spending... I'm afraid they will not have any players left to buy the gold. This has the potential to be a fun game.... lately it seems all grind.. no fun.... Yep.. Minecraft still rules. Older players could probably tell you a few places Panthers spawn like south pof rhodes and stillwater.. but a new player could visit those locations 100 times and never have a clue... even if they see a youtube video on it it means nothing if the animals wont spawn. There's a FUN DAY! Trying to find a specific animal.. which does not exist where the maps says.. so you watch 1-2 yourube videos to find a location.. then you go back and spend 2 hours trying to replicate the video.... only to realize your day would have been better spent n minecraft. At least hunting creepers is a sure thing. -
Ability Cards; What's Your Recommendation For Defensive Solo Play?
Darconios replied to KylesDad7's topic in Red Dead Online
Navy Revolver might be better than Lemat revolver now. I just bought 2... and copper color metal is free. -
Some like the "Ability Card" unlocks are just stupid. If I had any ability cards left to unlock then maybe I could use a few of them but as it is I cannot even delete them. I used all the ones I can... and wish I could delete many... I honestly could likely figure out how to grow my honor or lose it without vouchers.. and using them all up left me with low end honor... I could not scroll down past a certain level... (im only level 81 in outlaw pass atm). So I am currently miffed that we cannot delete them but Im sure that will change someday and I only have 19 levels of "rewards" left. I have other cards I would never use also.... just wish I could discard them.

Hunter one creeps me out... I like Flowers , refined, standard then hunter. I'm sure in days of prohibition there were all manners of classy establishments underground... Capone never drank in dive bars I imagine. Not enough chimneys or parking for 30+ people... Should be another exit also.. but whatever.. its fun... You can play with band to time out less (more than 30 minutes) ... 4 drinks of the good whiskey at bar (not barrels) will give you "self drunks" towards achievement/award. Both good if you need to kill 5 minutes or so. The bar is useless and makes no money atm so its useless to try to get more patrons. Flowers is the one I use most but change it for dailies.

Ability Cards; What's Your Recommendation For Defensive Solo Play?
Darconios replied to KylesDad7's topic in Red Dead Online
I used to know what the good cards were and have all my ability cards maxed out. For solo I tend to use the two horse ones "horseman" and "friends for life".. They both help mounted offense and defense.. which is where most grieving occurs. I have survived dynamite blasts with my horse.. not always.. but sometimes. Im driving a Breton atm... will upgrade to this new horse.. just waiting for videos on them... apparently its the fastest horse so far... sounds good.. idk. For defensive... I switch them up... I used to like "never without one".. but it doesn't slow people down much and you can only re-hat f you have your horse and "friends for life" mainly. If Im on horseback... these things all come together.. You can also dodge some bullets from horseback from bounty hunter leveling. I will use "winning streak" or "landons patience" depending on terrain.. and amount of shots. I used to use "focus fire" to increase damage and one shot with rifles better... but now I mostly exclusively use exploding ammo against griefers. Dynamite arrows are good... even with bad aiming prevalent in defensive mode. I got a warning shot while shopping at nazar and dynamited both of them and the donkeys they rode in on. Even with the defensive self aim... incendiary shotgun shells are the most fun.. They set fire to player and horse if wide spread.. but they may stay alive long enough to kill you.. but the screaming is funny. Double Navy revolvers.... they have insanely long barrels and accuracy... test with accuracy circles of what you carry now vs navy revolver... I carry two of them with exploding ammo.... can take down a few posses... NOTE: the pink copper color is free... and looks awesome as a metal color. For battlegrounds and missions.. these cards may not apply.. Im just talking how I normally travel around. -
MOONSHINE DELIVERY GLITCH SOLVED! MOONSHINE DELIVERY GLITCH SOLVED! MOONSHINE DELIVERY GLITCH SOLVED! Trying to get attention to this posting because it could save a lot of aggravation to some... I am a level 20 in moonshine role and believe the faulty deliveries were to locations based on customer/flavor. I AM NOT POSITIVE... Working THEORY! For example all the $226 deliveries work fine but a few of the $247 flavors/customers.. just will not work... but im not positive. If you notice this and are convinced it is accurate.. then maybe make it its own thread because its an important "fix" or method to bypass glitch.. if we can just skip a few higher end deliveries. Never re-flavor.. sell it cheaper. I THINK that helps bug out marcel. Stay in bar and drink 4 drinks of high end whiskey.. 1 drink past where it misspells.(not weak whiskey from barrels as it doesn't count to achievement/award/buckle). You need 100 self drunks... and even 5 and 25 achieves give some experience i think.. unsure. Then make sure marcel has started before doing something else.. like maggie (man is not made of wood)... and now you have an image of maggie in your head.. sorry. So... If you want to run moonshine glitch free... These tips MAY hep.. I'm pretty sure ??!?! I'm running high profit glitch free by watching netflix and going back for deliveries... it doesnt time out if you play in the band. I'm paying the higehr price for mash but enjoy the roadblock missions.. lots of loot... and ends at fast travel... and these cabins are remote... ugg... better to do a maggie mission and end closer to a travel post. So... GLITCH SOLVED... P.s. and if your not driving ALL your bootlegging missions on CINEMATIC MODE... your missing out. ALLWAYS DRIVE THROUGH ROADBLOCKS... half the time they let you just drive by... but if you hear enemies voices.. you have time to stop and face them... If they let you drive by.. they will never give chase. Please someone make FLAVOR/CUSTOMER Glitch remedy a thread if it proves true... It deserves a special place in our bootlegging knowledge (until glitches gone). Edit: Evergreen $226 delivery has bugged on me (perhaps customer changed?),.. but not the berry flavor yet... Deliveries seem to go to a few same places... and Im happy with that... at first I wanted a zillion recipes and flavors. but now I just want my $200/hr. I only do maggie missions to get to town or back to camp when leaving bar.

Darconios replied to Jimblob's topic in Troubleshooting
Go to mission servers to hunt... launch a mission and dont do it.. just go fill your wagon.. but it takes a lot more to keep cripps happy... switch to bloods (JK). Im pretty sure only certain flavors of moonshine delivery are bugged... the $226 berry one works fine for me as example... but not all the $247 (I think). Dont leave the bar until he has made at least one bottle.. never change flavors.... until bugs gone. -
WOW! All great responses and "kewl" flu007... new to entire game?.. dang. You dont need to buy every camp theme.. You can save money by jumping a few levels.. is something i wish I knew.. I was slow on the uptake I guess since i preordered this game and have only been running dailies for the amplifier since week 3 of my 72 day streak (not 76). Great advice from Moosh89 about doing at least 2 in case one resets.. When I do the daily it updates the counter also.. and does all the "Youve done so many days " rigamarole. when it gives me the .5g I guess I don't exactly know what a reset is or how it could reverse that, but I'm all for doing a minimum of 2 anyways..
-
You can also use a hunting wagon to store up to five large deer or more if smaller animals. Skins in your pocket or on horse are also safe. If the donation bar besides cripps is full then he will not accept anymore.. you can donate it but it will not go above 100.

I lost 60 bottles while leveling 40 more since I was level 20. 100 bottles Ive lost so far... I had mash reset twice. not including the above bottle losses. Ive had Marcel refuse to work... hes had flavor and mash.. but he never makes a bottle... so I got in habit of getting drunk (for achievement - good whisky only.. 4 drinks to get drunk) and then making sure he started production, Marcel refusing to work is the worst as it takes 2-3 hours to sort out sometimes. That said... I got to role level 20... and level 59 in pass from doing moonshining mostly. So it can be frustrating until the bugs are worked out... Since I only got to level 59 with the pass... If I had to do it again I might wait until my pass is at level 30 or so before i started on moonshining.. maybe by then they would have had a few bugs worked out. I imagine they are working hard to patch some of these glitches. Marcel has cost me 100 bottles.. and that frenchman has the nerve to lecture me (HA) on keeping bottles safe... I never lose a bottle.

**Animal Spawn Issue Discussion** (Since Summer and Recent Updates)
Darconios replied to Jimblob's topic in Troubleshooting
1 year ago..... I would wake up in the morning and switch on RDR2 before work. I would run around the three islands (the 3 you can run to each other) off rhodes. My goal would be to empty my .22 which held 100 rounds. Today I went there to fill up on mint (islands have like 20+) and did my same routine I did 100's of times before... Not 1 toad. Not 1 crab. Not 1 Iguna. Not 1 No eagles, owls, bunnies.... I thought maybe it was the added canoes.. but no... its like this everywhere. I got 3 ducks and a muskrat. I used to get my animal fat exclusively from ducks on that island.... now I go mostly for boars and "spotted pigs" by the station... (even thats nerfed). I liked the hunting.. Id rather they nerfed what the animals were worth than making us ride around like tools for 30 minutes at a time. The game is useless for hunting if they remove entire sections of animals depending upon what day it is or however they do it. The only way to hunt now is on mission servers (notice more bunnies when on missions.. there is a reason..).. so go on a delivery for cripps and deliver 1 item... then hunt ... or if he sends you to hunt a deer for trade with a trader... forget it and just hunt for yourself... you can always redo supply missions. Today I left the islands with 85 rounds in my .22 That's 85 more bullets than I used to leave with for same amount of time.. That is how many animals are taken out of the game... A good 85% I'd feel sorry for anyone starting now. I maxed out collecting and kept at it because I knew it would be nerfed. I got rich first... but a person starting today is screwed. -
$200 per hour. Cooking best whiskey is worth $247. Mash cost $20-$50. Cooking time 48 minutes... Delivery 5-10 minutes. If glitch free.. issues with some missions stuck at loading screens... sometimes resulting in loss of bottles. Cripps is mad because he gets less from animal parts and so is mostly on empty nowadays... and if you want to hunt youd better do it on a mission server nowadays or forget it. ts actually not too bad for money... hunting and collecting are nerfed.. so if it was glitch free it wouldnt be too bad. The bar is useless but so are trains in this game... eventually things may have a purpose. I can recall stealing wagons to get the wagon driving achievements.
