Your Most Annoying Challenge


Recommended Posts

No spoiler for mine ... shooting a pristine squirrel.

Do you know how freaking hard it is to even FIND a pristine squirrel, much less chase it down on horse, track it as it darts through the freaking weeds, and dead eye land a shot on it with a bow with small game arrows or a varmint rifle ?  And dead eye doesn't even work perfectly with a bow, the arrow is too slow, so you still have to lead it .. and it's a very small target.

This is a target of opportunity for me, and I don't even bother now trying to figure out which squirrels are in what condition, I just shoot at every damn squirrel I see ... I must have killed 30 squirrels without landing on a pristine one yet.

I'd rather face 10 bad guys at once than go off looking for a pristine squirrel ... which I have done on a few occasions only to get frustrated and quit looking for them lol ...

For me it's been turning my horse around. For some reason I push the analog stick to the left and it moves to the right. So I start pushing to the right thinking he'll complete the turn, but then he goes back to the left. This is why I have name my horse Dummy. The other challenge I've been having is I never got my War Horse with my Ultimate Edition, and I have an open ticket with Rockstar. They keep telling me to go to the Stables then they told me to finish chapter 2 and I still don't have my War Horse. I'm pretty sure I'll be at the end of chapter 6 by the time they fix it. Way to go Rockstar! The one aspect of the game I was looking forward to was better horses and better horse mechanics... I'd rather have the mule from RDR!

Mine has been finding small game to shoot. Oh sure I see them all over the place but as soon as I bring out a weapon....they are all gone.

I wrote a lengthy response on how to do this ... but then I realized, you didn't actually ask for (and may not want any!) help lol.  :D

I found a derailed train. There's a car that took a long time to get to. I died I don't know how many times trying to figure it out. I was worth the deaths though. Lucrative for sure, but a MASSIVE pain. 

Haven't spent much time aiming for squirrels or other small animals. Seems like a massive pain!

Squirrels aren't too bad once you get the knack.  Small game arrow, eagle eye track on foot until they are still, shoot.

Biggest challenge for me is finding enough hours to play! :)

After that, it's probably ... Higher levels of five finger fillet.  I really suck at it.

Mine has been actually finding the squirrel.

*Varmint rifle with full aim assist will yield you a perfect pelt almost every time with a three star animal. No need to dead-eye for head shot. Just ride around randomly pulling aim and it will lock onto whatever's near.

I just can't find a squirrel. Saw one in an hour of searching last night and it was two star. No good. 

Plenty of rabbits....they're everywhere.

*This may only be true after legendary buck is harvested.
