Fly Ricky posted:Interesting, I read they had some new content so I figured the online must be good. So, for online, you expect there to be a few main sources of content, and they have focused those sources under five jobs. Each job kinda takes advantage of a different thing you do in the game, like firefights or traveling or hunting, to make money. The primary one is Trader, in my opinion. You make the most money off it at once. So, step one of trader is to hunt stuff and bring it back to camp. It gets turned into wagonloads of profit for you to drive to other places. So you drive a wagon from A to B and then make money. Okay, so the next step that goes deeper is...? There is no next step. That’s where it ends. Same with moonshiner or bounty hunter, you do the thing and that’s about it. There are some radiant style quests, but little more. Little customiZation like one would expect, little depth to it. One would expect this stuff to get deeper, to let you buy poo poo like custom running boards for your wagon, or armor, or a maxim gun for the back, or color choices, but that doesn’t exist. There’s all these places that the game could become crazy cool and deep and fascinating but IIRC, there’s like three people working on RDR Online, everyone else is on GTA online over at Rockstar.

Anyone have a solution to the bug on PC where whenever you launch the game it sets the audio in Windows to 10% or so?

Maybe it would help to do a hard reset of your application sound preferences? Under Windows 10, go to Settings > System > Sound > App volume and device preferences > Reset. No guarantee that it'll help, but it's worth trying, right?

That's a bug introduced in the last big update, and from everything I've read no one has a solid solution; if you alt-tab or winkey out once the loading screens start (not the launcher screens), you can right-click your volume control icon in the system tray, select "Open volume mixer" and manually crank it back up. Pain in the rear end, though.

Bounty Hunter for Gold and Trader for cash is my strategy, and honestly the hunting/fishing in this game is fun enough that I'm very content doing that in a night. I just purchased the hunting wagon (ridiculously pricey) and I'm pretty excited to fill that thing with animal bits to fuel my empire of gristle.

The closest thing to that is the new paint jobs for your bounty hunter wagon that were added with the latest bounty hunter level expansion. I'm guessing each role will get little upgrades like that one at a time over the next decade while they focus on milking the GTA Online cash cow.

The devs for online just didn't make a whole lot of content that is 100% specific to online. Whether that's good or bad is up to you, but I personally have gotten a little jaded in just a few months of playing RDO, I can't imagine what day one players must feel.

I've been playing since beta and it's definitely a pick up put down game for me at this point. At rank 250 and running out of things to buy I'll log on when a new update comes out or when I really want to play.

I face a similar issue too with Discord and its streaming lovingly cranking it down on other games and apps. A faster interface I've found is to press the Xbox button if you got that and use the mixer on the overlay there.

Start going archer, see how many deer you can plonk in one deadeye activation. Think my best was three kills/one gutshot, but that last was because it *was* a targeted headshot, running away, and the fucker jumped. White tail now red and with feathers. If you're ballsy (and better at game than me  ), you can try that with the random stranger being trapped by wolves or cougars. (Note: it seems to me that those critters are buffed, because deadeye brain shots, even with rifles, are not one-shot-stops.)

I'm never gonna hunt them to extinction at this rate It also holds 40 skins (the kind that lay flat, not huge ones). Sometimes when I kill a wolf pack I'll skin em and toss the pelts in the wagon, which trivializes the "donate three predator skins or carcasses" daily. If any of you are still doing dailies.

Babbygators are good for pred-skins, but actually require work, since they're skittish and will scarper when hearing gunfire. (Adults will almost always just sit there, unless you only wound them, get too close, or there's a Legendary around.) Also, they only spawn in certain areas, and not always. Remember also that gator teeth count for the "loot three collectables from NPC enemies" daily, as well.

I wish discarding from the wagon let you break down the carcasses after. e: ok blowing up people's cars or throwing them in the river in gta5 is good clean fun, but griefers who kill your horse are sociopaths. what did Charlie ever do to you, you maniacs?! slicing up eyeballs fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Jan 8, 2021 |

I'm replaying the story again on PC and for all it's faults the games attention to detail is incredible. Two of the radiant missions: 1) In the one where the Foreman asks you to kill the wolves attacking his workers: I killed all 3, skinned them and put 2 on my horse which kept running away, I decided to walk back to the Foreman carrying the third skin and whistled the horse so it would hopefully arrive by then. When I arrived the foreman said something along the lines of 'by the looks of the wolf skin you're carrying you did what I asked'. 2) The mission where the railway Foreman asks you to find his missing money and you follow the junior to discover he's the thief: he usually runs away after you discover his stash and in my PS4 save I let him, this time I hogtied him and brought him back to the railroad camp where I was aggroed by one of the workers saying they don't tolerate my actions. At that point I thought the game didn't recognise what I was trying to do and got off my horse to free him, however you can actually defuse the situation with Arthur telling the aggroed worker that the junior is the thief and you're bringing him to the Foreman. Obviously nothing too crazy here but it is genuinely refreshing to have a game acknowledge actions you take outside of what it expects. eleven extra elephants fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Jan 14, 2021 |

Finally have started in with this, pal helped me get together the 10 gold to get the bounty license so I have at least a *little* bit of content on my own, but is there seriously no way to hold more than the bare minimum of ammo??? All the bandoliers are just cosmectic and only 100 rifle bullets is an insanely tiny amount. Am I doomed to be constantly finding stores or post offices to refill?

the current outlaw pass actually has ammo capacity upgrades scattered throughout it, might be worth ponying up for once you save up enough gold since the levels are retroactive not sure how much longer you have to grind out the levels / gold before it goes away though

Yeah, bandoliers are cosmetic-only in Online. However, you have plain rounds, split-point (if you make them/get rewarded from Outlaw pass or whatever), Express and High Velocity. Might have Explosive as well, but IIRC that's a really low amount. (I'm all-Express for everything except splits for my Yellowboy carbine. Still, maxed out all my ammo stores as soon as I could spare the cash, even though I never use autoloading pistols, for example.)

Good to note that the outlaw pass rewards you with a cumulative 30 gold bars when you hit 90-something, so it literally pays for itself if you have the ten bars off reward. Also there's a cat belt buckle

So in this case you get 200 repeater bullets, but can still only carry 100 split points/high velocities/expressesseses/explosives This really stung when I got the shotgun capacity upgrade and can still only carry 60 slugs

Just started playing red dead online on my series X since it was like two dollars cause of coupon I had. Goddamn can everything kill you and really kill you. I don’t think I’ve been able to kill another player online and I’ve gotten killed a ton by other players, because I can’t raise my white flag for some reason, I assume it’s just initial thing. I got the moonshiner license and also the bounty Hunter one, because I had that cheap initial gold offer. Does anyone have any just general tips on how to start out when you’re playing for the first few hours? I’ve done a few of the story missions, but I haven’t really done anything with the sheriff’s yet. I still have to finish the story on my PS4 Pro, but I’ve switched over the series X, it’s a a lot quieter to play at night (also kids loving playing Lego games with their mom), but I figured for a few dollars it would be to nice to have it on the system I’m using more often.

Make sure you are in Defensive stance when you log in, I think it's right on the Dpad, then go to Online Options, then make sure it's on Defensive stance and not Offensive. Doing missions can change you into offensive and not change you back after you're done. Get the ability card Paint it Black for your deadeye and if you meet hostile players use your deadeye to kill them before they do it to you, makes it easy.

Thanks! I hadn’t tried the menu option. I had always though it was only an option to use in front of the flag itself. However, when I tried it in the past the game wouldn’t let me do it. I have PIB and I’ll try and make more use of it. I just have to say I’m still awestruck by how gorgeous the landscape looks in the game there’s still times where you think for a second it’s like this could’ve just been like a photo of real life.

I play with my kid and we like doing bounty hunter stuff together. I know that I will have to do a trade run and moonshiner run soon so you can hit me up tomorrow if you want to jump in for some free getting ya going cash. GT is the same as my user name. We normally play for a few hours on Sunday’s.
