Is there a way to rob a bank in this game that doesn't involve a one-time story mission. I'm pretty sure the answer is no and I don't mind if that's the case, but it'd sure be nice.

Just had two great random encounters in Saint Denis. One was two guys on the outskirts of town that blew themselves up with dynamite trying to get a safe open. Easiest forty bucks I've ever made. The other was a bar owner basically paying me to be Charlie and clear out all the rats in his saloon. I used small game arrows and got all the perfect rat carcasses I could ever want and/or need. e: I was wrong because I could only carry 5 rat carcasses with me and the trapper needs ten for the rat hat.

Why the gently caress does Arthur keep putting his back and shoulder gun away after like 20seconds on horseback? It's real dumb to have to go into weapon wheel twice when getting off the horse if I dont want to be unarmed when getting into any sort of scrap

Isn't there meant to be a bonus bank mission with preorders or something?

"Why don't you help around the camp more often?" Okay, fine. I'll take this bucket to the lake and- *Hurls bucket to ground at proximity to Dutch for exposition* Ah, Dutch. Not even the most mundane of tasks are safe from you demanding I am a naughty boy.

well, got to blackwater as john. I liked the main champain a bunch and i loved how dutch was basicaly Jim jones and you slowl saw his true face more and more. I though guarma was too long and too short and honestly the story felt a little too long for its own good at times.

Even after Arthur puts his guns away, he still automatically grabs the same guns when he dismounts. Unless you're in a mission, then it keeps equipping a bunch of random bullshit you've never even fired before. Unless it's a mission that doesn't do that.

The gunslinger Mauser comes pre-blinged with gold plate. It is the one gun I'd be super mad about having the game erase from your inventory. I'd be regular mad about losing another unique revolver I've heard about but have yet to get. Section Z fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Nov 6, 2018 |

I'm in chapter 4/Saint Denis right now and uhh (stranger encounter spoiler) I'm pretty sure I met the gang of kids that robbed me initially (or another gang of kids). They mouthed off, I antagonize back and they go running. I chase after, get jumped by more of em with guns - and I was allowed to shoot back. I guess it was self defense but it's still pretty ballsy of Rockstar to let me kill kids, holy gently caress. Also WOO FIRE LADY

Unless you're in a mission, then it keeps equipping a bunch of random bullshit you've never even fired before. Unless it's a mission that doesn't do that. Go to any weapons dealer and you can set your default gun in all 4 spots. Now whenever he grabs for any 'random bullshit' it'll be *your* bullshit.

I've heard people prefer to stay at like, chapter 3 and do all their exploration then etc due to plot stuff. I want to get a mauser, but everyone says it's better to stay in the earlier chapters because it's more fun etc to explore or something? Can someone PM me why people are saying the earlier chapters are better for exploration etc? And I'm not talking about the big endgame spoiler.

I never liked Sean but I liked Arthur's begrudging acceptance of Kieran and I liked the character arc they set up for him. And then it got cut short, just like him.

I've been avoiding this thread to experience everything fresh, but quick question: Does the game tell you anywhere what weapons to use to get perfect skins or what bait to use on certain fish? Like a book you can buy or anything? Took me forever to realize I needed the varmint rifle, not the bow, for rabbits, even if kind of obvious in retrospect. IDK if I want to trial and error each kind of animal and might look up a guide.

If you tap R1 while targeting an animal you've already studied, it pops up a tip saying which weapon is preferred.

Like a book you can buy or anything? The compendium tells you, but the requirements aren't actually as specific as they may make it sound. Medium/Big Animal- Use a Rifle(entries saying to use a long scope are just a recommendation not a requirement) or Shotgun that's loaded with Slugs. Small Animals - Use the Varmint Rifle or the Bow loaded with Small Game Arrows.

Alright, so based on the feedback in this thread (and the accidental confirmation of a spoiler I had admittedly already suspected), I think I'm going to keep a save where I'm at now in Chapter 4 and use that for post-game shenanigans. Although, are there any stranger missions, etc. that only show up after Chapter 4, or is everything pretty much on the table at that point? I know there's at least one home robbery location that can't be accessed until Chapter 6, but that kind of stuff doesn't bother me as much. Will I be able to explore the New Austin/Blackwater area in peace, or will it always be a danger zone?

Starks posted:Lmao That bug was introduced in the last big title update four years ago, and Rockstar has known about it for all that time but anytime someone asked support about it, they'd just go "yeah restart your system or whatever, who cares." I have seen some recent footage of Undead Nightmare being played on the Xbone X and didn't see any problems there, but maybe those players were just getting lucky and the bug didn't trigger for them.
