I kind of did want to stress out about money a bit more so I felt more a reason to rob and steal. So, I made a rule for myself of giving the camp 60% of my money on my last play through. You still end with a lot money around Chapter 3, but can easily clean yourself out.

In my playthrough I contributed so much money to the camp that I basically was the gang's sugar daddy. People would chip in with 0.25$, a couple ram pelts or a gold tooth and I'd be depositing 50$ and platinum watches in the camp stash on the regular, ultimately I splashed several hundreds if not thousands on the camp between upgrades, supplies and cash money

This didn't stop some horrible lady to bemoan about me for not contributing enough of course

The Hero We Need
I ended up going full sperg and collecting every treasure and gold bar north of the Montana before Guarma, and pissed away maybe half afterward buying all the clothes, both human and horse. Oh, and all the assorted consumables.

All the (unlocked) weapons and ammo were already owned, with all mods, but not all gun cosmetics yet. (Just the ones I wanted on my carry weapons.) Even managed to get most of the free weapons, some before they unlocked.

And now I'm grinding Red Beta Online instead of going up to Annesburg with Dutch to start some poo poo...

Another thing to keep in mind is that there's a button combo that lets you shoot your gun in the air. Sometimes people react to this in a way you would expect depending on the situation.

Bandanas make it so random citizens can't make a positive ID of you to the law (the law can still ID and put a bounty on you because they're familiar enough with the Van Der Linde gang to figure out its you.) but when you equip them it takes up your neckwear slot removing the tie or neckercheif which tied your entire outfit together. This is one of the greatest trade-offs in game design.

aim gun, press up on the d-pad, fire

Nearby players will see a "So-and-so has fired a warning shot" message.

Man, this game is immersive. I've been killed by a nightmare of a bear, wolves, and various scallywags. Don't think I've quite grasped the proper use of Deadeye yet.

Deadeye is lot like bullet time from Max Payne 3. RDR2 also has the slo-mo moments from MP3 when you make a cool shot.

There's story-locked improvements to deadeye and until you get the first one its not very useful. Once you get the first one its all you'll ever use in combat.

You turn it on and put the aiming thing on the heads of the things you want to die and shoot. When you level it up you can manually mark it instead of just sweeping it over stuff.

Ah, this was my issue. I was thinking I was supposed to be able to mark whoever I wanted but instead it's doing it for me and just kind of spraying/wasting rounds. I can't wait to level that up.

Yeah it kind of sucks at first. Eventually you can manually tag stuff and it's much cooler.

This game might actually have too many systems. After Guarma I noticed gun degradation happens so slowly and quietly I forgot it exists and every single gun I like to use has been a rusty piece of crap for hours.

That and each button has like 3 different actions mapped to it contextually

Love it when I'm trying to loot a place quickly before the law comes and Arthur thinks I asked him to pick up the body and carry it around for a bit instead.

I was playing GTA online to unlock the free navy revolver when i first started playing and I am not 100% sure but i think the GTA 'get in car button' isnt the same as the 'get on horse' button anyway i pushed the wrong button, F instead of E or vice versa, and punched my horse and it ran away.

There's no need to speak. You must only concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder.
I think the button is the same on controller, but when i jumped in to GTA to get the revolver, I tried to whistle for my car. After running over to my car and getting in I then mashed the button to make it gallop. That also did not work.
