Who would else I speak for? The iguana is not bad at all, I got that done in about 5 minutes once I figured out where to go. The badger on the other hand is a loving nightmare, took me 2-3 hours.

I like that you can sneak into new Austin after rescuing Jack. I’m enjoying Arthur having a little holiday hunting pelts and picking herbs before the inevitable shitstorm.

Online is quite bad. I just did the opening mission and then tried to do a stranger mission which didn't have any waypoints or instructions and then another which didnt do anything when I tried to hand in the reward. Whats the point. I also had my first encounter with red dot people in free roam who I assume are griefers. They kamikazed into my horse, surrounded me and started shooting. I just stood on the spot and auto aim head shotted all three of them and quit to story mode.

The only challenge you can’t complete is herbalist. I did the horse ones by just smashing tonics, including taming the horse that only spawns outside Blackwater.

The most fun of which is the one where replaying the graveyard mission in San Denis to completion makes all of the usual Blackwater death patrols vanish until you reload or die. So it's possible to go all the way to Austin at any point past that mission.

They patched that.

With deer, they’re super skittish so make sure you approach quietly - crouch and walk slowly so your minimap arrow turns grey instead of the usual white. Line up your shot, press Call then hit Deadeye. You should be able to get a headshot pretty reliably with a bit of practice.

A later deadeye upgrade will highlight instakill zones (head and heart), so you can aim for the heart if you want as that won’t move as much.

That’s not actually a deadeye upgrade, its from fully studying a particular animal. You might see those spots on a deer but a moose you’ve seen for the first time will still be greyed out.

You should definitely check out the back of the doctors in Valentine then.

Look through the back window, then you can go round the front of the shop and hold up the doctor (bandana on, aim gun at him) and choose the option to rob the back room. There is a Schofield revolver in a box on the table.

Just curious: what is the point of these kinds of unsolicited tips? You’re basically spoiling something cool that they could discover organically for what??? Those kinds of things were the best things to find in the game on your own.

If anyone wants easy bounty hunter xp, I've been ranking up the past two days using Etta Doyle with this guy's method:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuLmY7Y4gQE

Super easy. No shots fired, about 6 minutes of paying attention, then 25 minutes of AFK / alt-tab, then turn-in. Rinse, repeat after 48-minute cooldown period. At 5-star solo with level 75 outlaw pass, it's $225 and 1875 BH xp per run. That's nearly 1 BH rank per run. This is how I'm maxing out BH.

I already have a job.

What should a relatively new player prioritise buying for online? I’m around level 18 and I’ve unlocked trader and collector. Also I’ve bought a bolt action, fishing rod, bow, varmint rifle, the trader specific saddle and horse, and the outlaw pass. Any specific weapons or upgrades that are just better than others? I’m thinking about getting a new sidearm and the next trader wagon when it unlocks. What about weapon upgrades?

Apparently animals aren’t spawning when the server you’re in has 14+ people in it (PS4)

no animals no play

I’m gonna call horseshit. I’m on ps4 and my lobbies are usually 22 people and I’ve never had much trouble with animals spawning. Not saying it’s not happening to people but it’s not true that 14 people means no animals for everyone.

I don’t know about losing your mount in other games, but I kind of liked the one or two occasions that you were separated from your horse because of a mission. For the Lenny one it puts you within walking distance of Reverend Swanson’s poker mission if you haven’t done it. Otherwise it kind of fun to try something different in a game that’s about verisimilitude. You’re never actually that far from a solution that fits within the game world and it happens literally twice across a 50+ hour game.

So the game really did bug out and my white Arabian was replaced with a slovenly Tennessee Walker, so I downloaded a trainer and now I have a white Arabian again. It's a male this time though. Hearing "atta boy" when I'm talking to my horse after all those hours hearing otherwise is weird. I miss my old horse. :/

Single player? Just go back and get it from lake Isabella. It’s always female.

I have to contend with constant disconnects if I'm using my normal wireless router so I play on a mobile hotspot. I haven't tried it but some people have said directly connecting to the router via Ethernet cable has solved those problems for them.

I hid it in the "weather in redemption 2" page.

I was wondering why that wiki is devoid of useful information. It doesn't have a list of ability cards, for example. Now I know. I might shop around for a decent wiki.


I believe small game arrows and aim for the head. As someone else mentioned, go get the Legendary Buck trinket. I believe the Legendary Buck is the one west of Strawberry around the Cougar spawn point. Across the street from the Trapper.

If you're really into getting 100% and seeing all the content, it's totally worth getting all the Legendary Animal trinkets early on. I did it in Chapter 3.

I think this is one of the games where the wiki is absolutely useless because of dweebs like that. I usually use a combination of reddit and google to find useful poo poo. Pretty sure I've seen a similar clothing warmth guide on a reddit post.

Honestly the outlaw pass and to a lesser extent the criminal Enterprise starter pack for GTAO are probably the best things to spend your actual money on. The values for gold bars are marginally okay but I have a hunch that eventually price inflation will do the same thing to the RDO economy as it did to the GTAO economy. The shark cards are so laughably bad at this point and desperately need a rebalance pass based on the current economy, but it'll never happen because the whales keep rockstar happy.

e: It's worth noting that the Outlaw Pass will give you back your forty gold bars in a couple weeks of moderate play, and after a few more weeks of doing daily challenges after that I'm sitting on like 60+ of the drat things. Can't wait for the next outlaw pass tbh

You can gather gold bars so quickly if you play lightly. When I first came back to online at the end of December (hadn't played since launch) I had 40 because I guess they gave them out or something. I bought the outlaw pass immediately and with the first ten I got back I bought the discounted trader role, then collector, then bounty hunter and then finally the discounted moonshiner and that's with playing a tiny amount a day to keep my streak going. I still have 60 bars. I wish I could buy the old outlaw pass, just to keep my interest up. I'd pay 50 for it too.

Sometimes when I’m in defensive mode players will do things like shoot animals I’m hunting to ruin the pelt or shoot fish I’m reeling in. Otherwise I’ve had players follow me around and run me over with their horse while I’m minding my own business.
