Yea that happened to me with Rhodes. Had a 300 dollar bounty and showed up acting like it’s the first time. Lol

I killed that guy. I play mostly honorable, but if there's an encounter off the road a bit and he's betting money then he has that money to be looted. Got over $12 off a guy north of Rhodes doing that (it wasn't the Mexican guy).
I'm still in Chapter 3, but I've been racking up the legendary pelts recently, I'm up to 5 now. Think I may go after the white arabian horse too as I have a legendary to get in that area.

I am WAY behind you guys as I was out of town for work for 5 weeks and just started the game on Tuesday. In challenges like this, are you given the chance to grab a cigar or cigarette to increase dead eye?

I've run into this guy twice, and the second time I was prepared and knocked down some 'baccy chaw as I was riding towards him. There are a few random encounters where you are hearing gunshots before hearing voices/seeing things, and this is one of them -- good practice anytime you are hearing shots ring out to quickly open your satchel and fill up levels as something is about to go down fer shur.

Huge fishing tip on reeling the fish in that I found on youtube. Was frustrated not making any progress for like 20 minutes landing a legendary fish.
The game tells you to pull down on left stick and reel with the right while the fish is tired. You should instead be TAPPING left stick down repeatedly while reeling with the right. Spam that mofo. The difference is night and day better. Good footage around 40 seconds in showing how far each tap is tugging the fish in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRXwFVz_mMc
I keep tapping the left stick down fast the entire time, even while the fish is fighting. When he's fighting, I also begin tapping the right stick, which slows him from pulling line back out. But since I'm tapping right stick instead of holding it I haven't had any lines snap using this method.
ETA: Also, once the fish is hooked, you can let go of left trigger completely.

This might be my favorite game ever.
Yesterday, after I took down the legendary white bison I noticed two animals a little ways away. Three star grizzly and a white Arabian horse. I took down the grizzly and chased the horse for what seemed like a real hour. I got him lassoed twice but he broke off both times and it went dark. I had to trudge through feet of snow to get back to the grizzly pelt and make camp. I then had to lead my horse (who had the bison pelt) while I carried the grizzly back to the trapper. I didn't care. It was awesome.
I haven't done anything but hunting for the last couple days. I have most of the legendary animals and am on level 9 of the master hunter. I need to find a ####### opossum.

Don't lasso him. As you're walking up, face him and with hands empty, do Left Trigger a few times until you're close enough that "Calm" is an option. Hold left trigger and keep walking closer and spam the Calm button so if he gets upset it immediately calms him.
Once you reach him close enough that Mount is an option, hop on and hold the left stick down. As he starts turning, move the left stick into the turn but it has to be kept down. So if he goes right, move the left stick down-right. If he goes left, shift it down-left. Keep that up for long enough and you'll break him and can make him your horse then.

So I've added a few pieces from the trapper. Now the random NPCs say I look like crap.
Got the legendary moose this morning and spent a few hours in the NW part of the map. Never had been to Van Horn Trading Post before. What a craphole.
Love this game.

Has anyone gotten blackout drunk and have something happen besides waking up outside the rear of the bar? Took roughly 10 shots.

I had at least 40 whiskies during the camp party and all that happened was the screen got distorted looking. Never blacked out though.

Got the white arabian and the white legendary buffalo this morning.
Btw, I hate the hunting challenges. I just got the one where I have to skin 5 bears. I have already killed close to 10 bears, but now I have to kill/skin 5 more.

Basically I have been hunting, fishing and camping and taking on occasional random encounters and bounties in between. This is my GOAT non sports video game. I am loving another life on RDR2.This might be my favorite game ever.

I only have one legendary so far (Grizzly) but am going for more. This game is true drugs for me......simply so much fun and immersion to highest degree.

Have we talked about how hard it is to kill Legendary animals? Took 3 rifle shots to the skull to kill the white buffalo. I killed a normal one with one shot to the head.
Almost lost my legendary moose yesterday because he died in the water. Had to use the horse in the water to push the carcass to shallow water where I could skin it.

I love just riding along hunting stuff, attacking bad guy camps, etc. Went on an extended dinosaur fossil tour and finally returned to the Trapper with like 15 pelts and about 100 different cuts of meat.
I had a moment I shot a bird just outside camp. Charles yelled at me and then a bounty hunter was there. Before I could draw on him, he got gunned down apparently by someone in the camp. Followed by a load scene as if I'd died. Moral of the story, don't do anything near to camp that draws attention. :(
Finally got the 4 kills with 1 dynamite. I kept getting 3 at campsites but couldn't quite get the dynamite in the right spot to get the 4th guy who sleeps a little further from the rest.
Was downing birds and at one point was aiming way up above me and looked down just in time to stop short of riding off a big cliff. That would have been funny, I almost wish I hadn't caught it in time.
I am sick of getting wanted because someone else attacks me. I ignore some O'Driscolls in Valentine, just ride past, they come after me and shoot many times before I finally draw and kill them. And I get flagged for murder. Really, Rockstar?
Also wish with all the realism they strive for, that they'd make Arthur move normally when getting something nearby. Fighting with the controller to get to that magic pixel that will let you pick up an item is so frustrating. They should let you target any item in an arc in front of you and let you RB through the list to the one you want, stop making it so damn sensitive.

It is, but you don't have to worry about ruining pelts.
Switching your guns to a higher damage ammunition helps a lot too, if you aren't already.

4 consecutive kills with a tomahawk sucked. I think it has to take place in one continuous fight with an enemy around the whole time. Kept resetting back to zero until I went into Van Horn and picked a fight.
So on a TOTALLY UNRELATED question, any negative repercussions if you wipe out the entire town of Van Horn? Besides losing 1/4 of the Honor bar, that is.

No, but every time I see a deer on my way into work, I quick-scope it with the rifle I now carry around to see its pelt quality.

I really enjoy the hunting in this game, but shadyridr has a good point about trappers being too few and too far between. Yes, trains speed things up, but they're not instant and they cost money. It seems to me that trappers should have been like butchers and gunsmiths: put one in every town. That forest near Strawberry is by far my favorite hunting spot just because of its proximity to the trapper.
Economically, there's very little reason to collect pelts or much of anything else once you reach a certain part of the main story. I just did a mission last night that paid me $2500, which seems economy-breaking to me.

Does he come back?

Don't know what to tell you on that one. I do find it kind of funny that this game tries to be realistic, but yet has the exact same trapper in three different locations. I think he's related to the merchant from Resident Evil 4.

Footballguy
ok - I ask because when I visited him I had a bounty. He got freaked out saying I brought trouble with me. He started to run away. I was going to try and chase him but shot him in the back of the head
I haven't been back since

I assume I have to sell/donate the perfect pelts to Pearson if i want the upgraded satchels, right? I finally started to get a few perfects but don't see any satchel stuff at the one trapper I've found. I'm a total newbie at hunting but am trying to get the hang of it. I can now use the binoculars correctly, so i just have to figure out how to not spook the animals every time and get better at one-shot kills.
IvanKaramazov
Footballguy
Right. If you want the satchel upgrades, the pelts have to go to Pearson. If you want the special clothing or saddles, they go to the trapper.

Had that one twice.
I have actually had a few twice.
Last night had the one with a tied up lady on the back of the horse. Killed the dude and rescued her. When I cut the ropes my honor went down. WTF?

Two horses is a game changer. Thanks @GregR !
Also, the targeting multiple opponents with dead eye is available after the oil wagon train robbery. But not immediately after. I finished the quest and then I later got the notice I had the ability -- I got the notice the first time I returned to camp, after completing the oil wagon train mission.

Study each animal (R1). That will tell you what weapon you should be using to get a clean kill, which will give you the pelt quality that the animal indicates. Generally, very small game = bow with small game arrow, small = varmint rifle, medium = repeater, large = rifle and very large = rifle with express ammo. The bow with upgraded or poison arrows will also take down larger game. But you still need critical hits for a clean kill regardless.Shutout said:

I went into a smallish pen with 3 bulls. I shot one of them and then other two started in on me and I barely made it out alive. I thought that was cool.

Has anybody tied somebody to the train tracks yet? That was my fave in RD1 but just realized I haven’t done it yet.
Poke_4_Life

Can't tie them to the tracks. Can drop a hogtied person on the tracks. However they will get free if the train takes too long to get to the person. Once again, this is what I have heard...
