So random post game question I am hoping someone that has the guide can answer.

how the gently caress do you upgrade your bag post game? Pearson did it but he's not part of the game anymore.

Figured it out in case anyone cares.

you can just buy them for money off the fence post game and not have to get a billion crafting materials.

The trapper himself tells you what he sells so if you go find him in Saint Denis and then take notes of what you want, that might be best. The option shows you what everything looks like too.
Oh I know, I just figured someone else (eg one of those sites rushing to get clicks from people like me googling) would have done it. I've seen a lot of sites are just copying each others info, inaccuracies and all.

One thing I noticed is that the camp crafting needs carcasses for some stuff and a pelt won't be enough.

So I stayed behind to hunt the legendary bear after Hoseas mission in chapter 2...and promptly got mauled. Should I wait until I have a better gun?

I got jumped by the bear and insta-killed so I came back with the pump action shotgun and put 5 solid slugs into its head with deadeye.

EXTREMELY SIMPLE HOW TO NOT GET ANY BOUNTIES GUIDE

Wear bandana/mask.
Do crime.
If there's more than one witness, start running, otherwise threaten or kill then. Too close to a town? Start running. Witness on horseback? Start running.
When the crime is reported you're gonna get a red circle around you. Get out of the circle before law arrives.
You did it!

PS If you commit crimes in town you're pretty much hosed. I've had luck robbing people on the back streets though.



tl;dr
If the lawmen never see you, no bounty as long as you had a mask on.

The prompt for taming a wild horse says something like "hold L and move L the opposite way to the horse's movement"

Does it mean actually click down the left stick? I tried to tame a couple of horse's and got thrown off instantly. Either I did it wrong or maybe they were too hard to tame?

No, but Rockstar also hasn't done poo poo for many years so who knows what they'll do now that such things are kind of expected. Leaning to no though, but there isn't really a pattern to make giving they released one game in the last decade.

There should be an icon on the map for the Trapper after you kill the bear. You can sell it to him and he will craft unique things from legendary pelts.

So I just started chapter 5, ending to chapter 4 was.. Not like I anticipated and that Lenny died is a bummer, he was the only guy Arthur really liked. He was cool. .

So can someone that finished the game tell me how long chapter 5 is gonna be, how long the rest of the game is, and if possible with no spoilers tell me if you can continue playing and doing stuff you missed after finishing? I left out a lot of side missions since the game is reaaally long, and I think I'd actually like to finish them later, and continue playing as a cowboy in a more relaxed fashion.

You'll get enough money from the story to buy what you really want and hunting only really yields comedy idiot clothes. Definitely turn in the bear for a dumb bear hat though.

I haven't finished it but I know there is one more chapter after 5 and two "epilogue" chapters that are as long as the others. Chapter five is less open worldy. I understand you can just gently caress around and clean up once you beat the game.

Question regarding bounties:
Is it ever possible to kill a lawman without getting identified?
From what I can tell, it seems like even if you're thoroughly disguised and they start with "Wanted: Unknown Suspect", the law will immediately peg you as Arthur Morgan once you shoot one of them, even if only one lawman sees you and you then kill him.
That right?

I have been searching like crazy trying to see if there is anything about the dlc not being available in game. I'm in chapter 2, my stuff is downloaded and installed, I've restarted (a few times), I have access to the stable, etc., etc. Not a single thing in the preorder or special edition dlc are available. Has anyone seen/heard anything about this?


I had this problem and I had to go into my Library on the PS4, go to Playstation Store from within there and find the game. Then select it, it will show you the DLC and say that it is installed. At the top left there is a little weird download symbol. Click that and it should download it again and reinstall it. I had to click it a few times until it told me that it is already installed. Then go into the game.

I also went back to Valentine to that stable as someone in the PSN thread said that was the only stable the horse shows up in initially. I am not sure if that is true but it was there for me after the above.

It depends if something is actually broken or people just don't like it.

Also I saw this game had a bigger opening weekend than the Infinity War movie, and only lagged behind GTA 5 in sales because that launched on a Tuesday and this launched on Friday.

Sorry, guy.
I was playing it fairly honorable, and then at some point Id had enough of people throwing shade as I rode by them and something inside Arthur snapped. The next person that rode by and wasnt polite got his leg physically blown off. I picked up how bowler hat and Artie the Bad Time Party was born.

Now, I will greet you, I will comport myself in a socially acceptable manner, but if you do much as sneer at me, I will end you.

Something awoke inside me that day and I realized I was not cut of an honorable cloth. Nor was it any fun to try and be.

As my memory serves bounties in RDR1 were randomized and populated at a fairly quick pace. Im well into chapter 3, and Ive only seen three so far, and they were all pretty scripted. Anybody know if there are a finite amount this time around?

If you're close enough to target an animal or look at it through a rifle scope or binoculars, there's a star icon next to the animal's name. You want to go for 3-star animals only. Also, for squirrels I would use small game arrows. You can craft them at a campfire. For stuff bigger than a squirrel (rabbits, raccoons, etc.) use a varmint rifle. You can buy this at a gunsmith shop. I think eagle eye vision or maybe dead eye will highlight the best target areas to shoot when tracking animals. I tend to go for headshots or center-mass body shots.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
For squirrels and other small animals use the varmint rifle with the varmint ammo (or the bow with small game arrows). Killing 3-star animals will get you perfect pelts.

Additionally, as someone who spent 2 real days hunting for a perfect Grizzly to get a pelt to make the bear saddle, let me tell you a secret: SAVE SCUM.

Some animals are rare in that there are only ever 2 or three of them in the area that they spawn, like Grizzly Bears. Go to the area and save your game. Then go find the animals. If none of them a 3 star, reload your save and go look for them again. Eventually, you'll get a three-star animal. Hopefully this saves someone else days of frustration.

For most animals, you have to "discover" them so to speak. The first time you see them you have to hold L1 I think (on PS4) until you get the info on them, then it will show star levels for all animals of that type from then on.

Right. I think you only have to study a given species once and any subsequent time you see a member of the species its star rating shows up automatically.
