If you ditch your horse for another one found in the wild, do you lose it or will it show up at the stable?

Your main horse will remain an icon on the map. You can have a main horse and a temporary horse once you get a level one bond with whichever you find in the wild or steal. You can whistle to have the main horse follow you, also.

A good hunting tip is take two horses with you for more pack space. You can probably even do 3 so long as you keep the bond low on the third. Both your main and temporary horse will respond to the same whistles when in range.

e: also to change your main horse go to a stable and switch your saddle over to the one you want

You can also switch your saddle in the wild by removing it from one horse and putting it on another. I did this to make sure that when I got my (minor rare horse spoiler, I guess) white arabian from the snowy mountains, the cheap starter horse I had would be the one to get lost if there were some sort of glitch.

I had to completely wipe my PS4 as instructed by the Rockstar support people because the game will not stop crashing after 5-10 minutes no matter what, and even after that it's still doing it. I'm at a loss.

Yeah I'm really hoping some of this stuff can be addressed by patches because it's awesome to head out of doing business with the trapper in Saint Denis only to get ambushed by three lemoyne raiders, kill them only to get slapped with bounties for murder, and then good loving lucking getting out of Saint Dennis either alive or with a manageable bounty.

Plus this game has the potential for some great My Summer Car-esque patch notes and I am eagerly awaiting that.

I've started working around that particular issue by just saving every time I'm done with the trapper in St. Denis and then reloading. I'm either far enough away or they aren't there.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I spoke too soon, in Chapter 3 I lost my beautiful sheriff star on the very next story mission I did, the one selling the moonshine with Hosea:negative:

My huge bounty is definitely causing some weird Chapter 3 issues too, I came across some Lemoyne raiders robbing people, threw dynamite at them, the explosion killed their horses, which made one of the people getting robbed report me for animal cruelty, causing the law to show up and fight me like 100 feet from the town border of Rhodes. I tried to run into town to see how the game would handle it but they shot me down before I could get there.

Is there a way I'm missing to save weapon loadouts on the horse? Or to stop the game from constantly loving switching what weapon is equipped or clearing the slots entirely? It is loving maddening, I swear I spend half of my game time in that god drat weapon wheel setting everything up because I remounted my horse and all of a sudden everything is swapped or it randomly goes back to the pistol instead of whatever I had equipped.

Also fun is when I go to draw a shot on my bow but suddenly the contextual menu is on "Aim Weapon" randomly even though I hadn't targeted a civilian and was hunting the whole time.

You can go to a gunsmith and pick your primary/secondary holster weapons as well as your shoulder/back weapons. Unfortunately, you can't save default bullet type, so you'll have to constantly change that to use your preferred type, plus some missions will force weapons on you (usually it'll revert inexplicably back to your cattleman revolver and a repeater/pump shotgun combo, and sometimes it'll just completely forget what you set your defaults to at the gunsmith anyways. But it's worth doing sometimes anyways. It just isn't consistent at all.

Oh god, not again.

So I'm trying to get that racoon hat from the guy in the valentine bar, however I've not seen him in there for ages. I've been in there about 10 times too, I remember him being there quite often.

It's possible I may have killed him previously by accident. I don't think so however? Does anyone know if you kill him does he never come back?

Also, can I get that racoon hat another way? Via hunting or anything like that?

Honestly, I'm really glad Rockstar is steering back towards more weird stuff. GTAV was such a dour unpleasant game. San Andreas, on the other hand, was loving amazing. Started grounded then the next thing you know you have weird government agents giving you jetpacks and poo poo.

The structure of this game feels a lot like Yakuza. Super serious main story, the side stuff is lighter and borders on wacky. And I love it.

The Viking hatchet and another hatchet I found are very good. I had just found this hatchet and coincidentally an rear end in a top hat rode by that was perfect for testing it out! His horse, however, did not react like I thought it would:

No idea. I bought a replacement scoped rifle after the game deleted the rolling block and one starting with C that I had. I think when the game decides to arm you for a mission (often with garbage) it sometimes deletes what you had prior.

Like let me use my double barrel shotgun game, it's good at everything and I love it. Stop making me use boring repeaters for every mission.

Does anyone know around what time or when (Chapter 4 camp companion mission) going hunting with Pearson for gator eggs pops? I was looking up in the guide to make sure I didn't do a mission that advanced chapters and noticed it was one of the things you could do. I'm a few missions in and it hasn't shown up in camp.

The loadouts stick after the story is over, even an empty slot so i think the missions trigger the loadout based on the loadout you had in the last mission+whatever is mission specific for the current. Or its just bugged but its the missions that gently caress it up.

Ive lost guns horses and saddles. My horses occasionaly change colors and my guns change or revert randomly sometimes as well. No idea why but it seems like anything can get lost. Whats weird is my guns eventually changed back and i got one back that went missing entirely but i never got my horse or saddle back.

Can you still craft the satchel upgrades somewhere as Marston? My first thought was to try Pearson but it seems he's just a normal shopkeeper postgame.

Check out the fence. He sells what you need, don't even need materials. Just cash.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
How do you actually deal with lawmen??

It seems like the best answer is: Let yourself be killed.

That feels really bad. But unless its a minor crime and you happen to already be on a horse on your way away from the crime, you're pretty hosed. Fighting the law can only make things infinitely worse.

I guess that's way more realistic than GTA, but man does it feel bad to have a $200 bounty on my head because my horse dared bump into a guy, 20 guys shot my horse and chased me for 30 minutes, and then after I finally gave up and killed them more just showed up.

Bah.

Oh and for good measure all the 5 pristine deer pelts I was on my way to sell are now gone. Goddamn this game sometimes.

The game really is trying to sour me on missions. Nearly all of them involve spending 60%+ of the time slowly riding your horse to the location aka poo poo that could have easily been a cutscene for how little you interact with it, using whatever loadout the game dumps on you then killing a couple dozen dudes. Then afterwards you can't even hang around to loot the bodies because it's slow as gently caress and some witness will magically spawn nearby and alert the authorities, assuming you don't end the mission with a bounty on your head.

What do I do when my horse gets spooked?

I was riding along all proud of my new bear hat and ready to sell some pelts when some rear end in a top hat wolves start coming at me. All of a sudden I’m trying to get away but the camera isn’t even behind me anymore and I can barely tell which way to run so I just get caught up in trees and taken down, ending up with getting my rear end ripped up and wolves apparently running off with my hat. Sucks.

Oh god, not again.

Okay so funny how this games works sometimes.

So I wrote before about how my Lancaster repeater got deleted from existence. I decided to go hunting to make some money back for it.

I'm on my way back to the trapper, I crest a hill and there is a guy on a horse coming up the other side. We collide in a very exciting 1899 road accident. I have to put all my game back on my bloody horse, what a mess.

What do I see lying next to the dead body of the other guy? A shiny new Lancaster repeater.

Okay thanks game.
