Where did you find the pieces of clothing to make that happen? That's pretty good.

I customized my dual Scholfield Revolvers as Ebony and Ivory. Although I wish the silver metal didn't have as much tarnish on it, but having mesquite wood handles on all my guns, cause gently caress you I'm from Texas. My knife has a trail of skulls across the blade. I really really enjoy customizing all the guns I get/buy.

The nickel finish shows less damage and so does the blue finish. The blued finish looks basically black like it does in rl in most lighting.

WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME ON A BRISK WALK? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!


For the split bullets, just set up camp somewhere pretty and hold down A/X (depending on console) while you watch a pretty sunset or read some poo poo on your phone or whatever, you don't need to pay any attention until you run out of bullets and switch to the next weapon. Split bullets aren't so much stronger as they don't drain the dead eye meter nearly as fast, so they're worth it so you can avoid chugging snake oils in the middle of every gun fight.

They're still a bit tedious but at least you can just hold down the button, it got a lot easier once I realized that.

I bought everything but the coat individually in Saint Denis, though the individual pieces might be available at any store. Everything in black or as dark gray as they had.

Shotgun coat from the Deauville outfit
Stalker hat
Opulent vest
Stand-collar overshirt
Everyday pants
Classic roper boots
Kneller spurs
Puff tie (striped dark gray, though there's darker ones if you prefer all black)
Range gloves (you get these at the start of the game)
Upgraded gun belt and holsters

I just went on a fishing side trip with Kerien which revealed the legendary fish location for the bluegill. After he left, I stuck around to fish when I spot this huge rear end large mouth bass just swimming along close to the shore. I also saw a perfect snake that I wanted to get, so I run to my horse and get my bow with the small game arrows. Then I shoot the bass which is so big that I have to load it up on the back of my horse. I wish I could see just exactly how many pounds it is now.

Agreed. Video game shotguns that fart out pellets in a giant cone are a peeve of mine and this game makes them feel really good.

Even with slugs, their range is pretty mediocre. I mean I'd just rather use a rifle at that point since it will one shot people at close and long ranges.

Oh man split bullets you have to press x and watch an animation for each loving bullet..

Ive got like 2000 goddamned bullets. In game time this would probably take a week because lol when it comes to tedious poo poo it has to be real life but the day is like 30 mins long and you have to eat 10 meals or you lose weight.

I had to stop playing mine on our 4K TV because everything just turns into a lovely ghost-image kind of blur when you pan the camera. It makes finding small animals or other small items in heavily-wooded areas impossible. I dunno if it's got a lovely refresh rate or what but it's a real bummer. I have it connected to my PC monitor now and the motion is fine.

I read way earlier in either this thread or Reddit about how split bullets cost nothing and were way better than normal bullets so I thought "oh cool I'll make those" and saw the 1 animation = 1 bullet thing and immediately stopped. gently caress that, they ain't that good.

It says that but I've gone through splitting full loads of bullets and it seemed like it took way less time than it would if it was really individually crafting them.

People are saying "it's broken" because it's doing nothing that a normal HDR output is supposed to do. One of the few people on ResetEra that actually knows what they're talking about, EvilBoris, teamed up with Digital Foundry and they did a video on it. He developed a really handy technique to figure out just how well a game's HDR image is doing. The relevant section starts at 7:38 (The rest of the video is about PS4 Pro performance whether you're supersampling or at 1080p if you're interested in that.)

Split bullets increase the amount of time you can spend in dead-eye. The extra damage from express doesn't matter when you're headshotting 6 dudes at once in slow motion.

I still pack both types and switch to express when I feel like popping out of cover and locking on to center mass.

The fish might have been under weight. If thats not the case putting one back gives you +10 so just throw one back every now and then.

The deadeye thing is partly why I don't care, I almost never use it. A few dudes here and there in clutch moments and when it would be showy for fun, but otherwise I enjoy the hectic firefights too much to just easy-mode them.

I really wish there was some bullet penetration in the game. The rest of the game has such high fidelity that it kind of takes you out of it when somebody is hiding behind a rotten fence or rusted piece of sheet metal and it's stopping all your rounds from going through.
