Did I have to pick it up in that barn? If so I did not. Will try again tonight because the brush option is always greyed out.Poke_4_Life said:You got a horse brush for free from the stable with your first horse. Just use left trigger standing next to your horse and it should be an option.
Fair enough and good points. To be fair, I may have overstated my frustration and given the impression I'm not enjoying the game. For the most part I am.belljr said:my .02- as a guy who HATES this stuff. it takes 30 seconds to eat some food.
Or go to a saloon and buy a meal if close.
Brushing a horse is 2 seconds and you can feed it while riding.
I get where you are coming from but what it does is if you are underweight or your core drops you take damage faster.
I really don't spend much time at camp except when I have to go back there.
I guess I dont find it as tedious as others.
Given the things you disliked the most so far:Made some steady progress and enjoying things more. This may be a bad idea, but I’m going to start over. Having a better understanding of the core gameplay and controls makes me want to start fresh and get things done in a less sloppy manner.
A couple of questions -
Is there a difficulty slider or is it just the same for all?
Any tips on investing in the camp? I’d rather not worry about cash, so want to optimize quickly.
Tell her to loot your bodyBeen calling my wife ma’am and my son the lil’ feller the last few days. She is going to murder me.
I did this, because I knew what would happen from reviews. But I've never seen him in town. Guess I missed out on a free gun, can't really go back to Valentine now.I've been murdering O'Driscolls on the road with the sexiest gun in the west--Volcanic pistol, extended barrel, ebony wood grip, gold plated frame, with gold inlaid engraving down the sides of a dark steel barrel. Whew. It fires slower than the revolver I was using but it's more powerful and damn is it pretty.
The best part was I only had to buy the customizations--I saved some schlub on the road who had been bitten by a snake and the next time I was in town he offered to buy me a gun. Sweet
Can't wait until I can eventually dual-wield a second one customized differently.
There's a mission w/ John Marston that starts in Valentine near the pig/sheep pens. Wish I had known last night but that mission shuts off Valentine and prompts the end of Chapter 2. I'm sure Valentine and other places nearby will be available at some point down the road but they are closed for a while after that mission.What triggers Chapter 3 and if do you lose the ability to do certain jobs if you advance the storyline?
I've read on Reddit that it is not possible. However there was a guy that stole a train and used it loaded with pelts to transport to the butcher in St. Denis.Has anyone checked to see if you can load an animal carcass into a wagon?
Wondering if it would be possible to use one to load up a whole bunch of kills and haul them all off at once.
Doesn't bother me what people do in a single player game, long as you have fun.I did that gold bar glitch last night, got a cool 30k now . Some here may frown on that but I'm totally cool with it. I like killing people so this will be mostly bounty money anyways.
Don't feel bad about it, you can still only purchase the guns you've already seen/had or whatever so it's not really getting you ahead much. I thought it was cool because it let me try out a pistol I thought looked cool but wouldn't normally spring forI did this, because I knew what would happen from reviews.

I'm not sure but I triggered it. I guess its after a main mission but my side missions seem still intact.What triggers Chapter 3 and if do you lose the ability to do certain jobs if you advance the storyline?
Is there any variation between guns, other than just being in need of a cleaning that is?damn i found a shotgun and it sucked - guess is should have kept it.
Is there an easy way to compare guns. I feel like I have to pickup the gun - show info - remember the info - pick up the other and do the same thing. That is a
pet peeve.
You have to go to his table, like a storefront.Can you bring a dead animal to the butcher in camp? It wont let me drop it.
I do. The drop icon never highlights. It only lets me sell my items. Is it Pearson?You have to go to his table, like a storefront.
Yes, when you walk up to the table it should have the option to donate or something like that. He doesn't have to be there. Once you click donate he appears. You also can drop carcass anywhere in camp. Oh, and if you just did a jailbreak these things are on hold. Drop the carcass and have a drink and enjoy.I do. The drop icon never highlights.

Are you headshotting for perfect pelts? I'm way up north near the "reservation" and Legendary Wolf. Going to hunt my way back I think.Doesn't bother me what people do in a single player game, long as you have fun.
I am sitting here questioning though whether for me it would be fun, or take fun away. Earning money through hunting as I gather perfect pelts for satchel upgrades has been one of the things I've enjoyed most. If all the carcasses and extra non-perfect pelts had been meaningless because I didn't have other cash needs, I think I'd enjoy the game less.
ETA: Speaking of which, I'm down to needing one more perfect elk and one perfect panther. I found panthers but so far the score there is Arthur 2, Panthers 1, and my two kills were very far from perfect.
You can leave it on your horse, and it will be available in your item list when you donate. No need to carry it over.Oh donate. Ugh thanks!
That's a pro tip right there. Did not know this. Thanks!You can leave it on your horse, and it will be available in your item list when you donate. No need to carry it over.
yeah found out this by accident the other dayYou can leave it on your horse, and it will be available in your item list when you donate. No need to carry it over.
For big critters like deer, elk, pronghorns, boars and the like I'm galloping in at full speed, using Deadeye as I lasso them and then moving in close and doing a knife kill (it pops up as the option instead of hogtie once you've reeled them in close). Short of your horse running them over there isn't any risk of damage to the animal that way. They still have to be a pristine one to get a perfect pelt though.Are you headshotting for perfect pelts?

Same is true with butchers in town.That's a pro tip right there. Did not know this. Thanks!You can leave it on your horse, and it will be available in your item list when you donate. No need to carry it over.
I have played around 60 minutes since Sunday. It is killing me. I have a 5-day trip w/ family coming up that is going drive me crazy and I will not be able to play.I didnt play last night and am having withdrawal
And I am leaving town until next Tuesday
Instead of swimming, can you lasso the body and pull it back to shore? I ask because I know it's also possible to lasso them while chasing them on horseback and then knife kill them without ever firing a shot.Another perfect pelt tip:
- Chase deer into lake.
- Head shot while it's swimming slow.
- Swim out and push corpse back to shore. (ETA: Don't delay, it will sink after a bit)
- Profit.
Take out the Legendary Buck. It has a trinket that makes your skins come out better.Anyone seen an Englishman named Gavin? Asking for a friend.
Lunch time update: Arthur 3, Panthers 1. Clean head shot after he snuck up and my horse threw me, but only 1 star on the corpse. :( Carcass alone was worth $6 though.
I tried finding that buck and was disappointed when I received an onscreen message saying something to the effect that the area had too much action and to come back another time.Take out the Legendary Buck. It has a trinket that makes your skins come out better.
That happened the first couple times I was out there too.I tried finding that buck and was disappointed when I received an onscreen message saying something to the effect that the area had too much action and to come back another time.
How do you get to the guy in blackwater? Every time I step foot in there 15 guys are after me.
