i mean you can say that about any multiplayer game that you can grind
It's fun if you have friends to play with tbh
i just log on to do easy dailies whenever possible.
^
That also works
Is hunting a good way of making money in rdo?
It is early on before you have any Roles. And by “good”, we’re talking good enough to fund ammo, provisions, some clothing items.
It’ll take a good bit of time to get other things
Just get collector
Anyone know why Cripps doesnt let my missus donate stuff to him, but if she gives it to me he takes it straight away
yeah we both do, but its been fine sometimes, but we just stopped because its annoying when she could not donate
It does glitch out
Her giving you the stuff to donate could be the best solution tbh
yeah i understand, but there are alot of glitches in the game then?
since many times im just picking something up, and drop the same second, we lost so much money because of that.. XD
There are billions of glitches in the game
is it possible to use another coat of a horse and get the higher stats, or are the coats lock bound to stats
Lock bound to stats
damn
the seal brown bretton is by far the best looking bretton
he should've been rank 20
bounty hunter instead
Yeah they should have just made coats a cosmetic choice, and make their breeds have 3 tiers of quality you could choose from that would increase their price instead.
yeah that would've been Allot better
Love the breton horses i got like 3 of them
Woulda been nice if you could add more horses tho, already got 10
Finally ended up with enough gold for bounty hunter about 2 ish hours ago
You’ll make that gold back with bounty hunter. I’ve been having fun with that role
Im also saving up for a horse and shirt that requirs 8 gold
(The horse i want is the mustang)
Iv even allready bought another stable and saddle
Yeah i know
.16 gold per normal bounty +.3 for each daily
I’m sitting on 37 gold. Unsure if I should spend it on trader and moonshine
I say the more ways you have to make money the better
my friend tried to get on my horse which was in the "revivable" state and he started spazzing out, my horse died and he flung to the stratosphere. this game is almost as bad as fallout 76, i love it
heh
rdo is so glitchy, but the good glitches, not the bad progress loss glitches
its generally only character glitches
which is what i love
I think one of my favorite things is that you CAN get fat
But you wont
Since it takes a ton of food (meaning money) to get fat and your constantly moving around
So you CAN but you wont
should I focus on story missions first in rdo?
and earn money
Yeeaah
I suggest doing all the rdo story missions before you buy anything
Use the money for ammo though cus you'll need it
Problem I ran into on story missions is failed matchmaking
is xbox online races dead just like the pc version?
yes, xbox races are dead
i played and joined a few times today and there was no more than 5
thats really sad... I just realized how fun they looked late in the game 😦 I have the pc version and was considering picking up the xbox version for cheap if they were working plus i know about 10 people who play it on xbox
you should play the race with friends it’s more fun. none of my friends play rdo so i just join random lobbies with players. same too, i just started playing some of the races only like 3 weeks ago.
I need friends on pc lol
would play pc, but then i would have to start over, but the game for standard is $80 and $112 for the unlimited edition one
the races have "players" doing mini circles to drag out the timer
How do I get 15 gold bars asap is there a way other than treasure maps and daily challenges ?
If you haven’t done your 2 factor authorization you can get 10 that way. Other than that, no. Unless you want to use a micro transaction there is no fast way to get gold. Just gotta keep doing dailies, maps and bounty/stranger missions
Sup
Yeah i know
.16 gold per normal bounty +.3 for each daily
@dapper walrus Bounty and stranger mission give more payout for every 3 mins passed after the quest has started, so delivering the target after 12 mins has passed will give you more rewards in gold, exp and cash. It's .32 gold per normal bounty. You can wait for more than 12 mins and it will still increase up to 30 mins but 12 min is the most ideal because after that the multiplier bonus only increase half as much.. so i always call this the 12 mins rule, this affect legendary bounties as well. The timer start as soon as the quest has started, so it doesn't matter how much minute the in game timer has left or if it doesn't have a timer, just start your stopwatch as soon as it began and deliver it after it reaches 12 mins!
also you can get food for free by hunting animals.. cook them meats in the firepit and you get more benefit than buying provisions from the store anyway, my character is always overweight lol
How do I get 15 gold bars asap is there a way other than treasure maps and daily challenges ?
@solemn badger story missions, stranger missions, daily challenges and free roam event. after that the first license you should get is bounty role as it's the only role that reward you with gold, easy way to get the other license after that!
Thats alot of extra fucking work for a videogame thats suppose to be fun
it is still fun nevertheless
i'm just telling you the tips for getting the optimal reward because they don't tell you this in game
you can just deliver them asap and get the other poster rather than waiting 12 mins if you prefer👍
If you haven’t done your 2 factor authorization you can get 10 that way. Other than that, no. Unless you want to use a micro transaction there is no fast way to get gold. Just gotta keep doing dailies, maps and bounty/stranger missions
@marsh dirge does the 2 step verification still apply even now? i tried googling it and it says for rdo beta, or is it still beta now?
Does anyone know if distance from bounty to jail matters?
Or only time spent on quest is counted?
Yesterday we took Wolf to the westernmost jail and had a huge ex income
1600~ for just one bounty
only time, number of target, target tier (the amount of $ in the poster) and their condition (alive, dead) affect the multiplier afaik. and ofc the star ratings for legendary bounties
What time does te weekly update go live?
Does it start today?

Is it there yet?
Checking now
Cheers
Nothing on the Twitter
There must be 70% discount on sawoff guns coz i purchased 2 yesterday
Only works well at 5-10m
Well probably 5-6
there's nothing new in the catalogue
Where can i find explosive arrows/slugs recipe in rdo?
at the fence
Any lvl restrictikn?
i think its 93 for dynamite arrows and like 84 for incendiary slugs, something like 90 for explosive slugs, don't remember off the top of my head
Holy cow. I'm 28...
Idk what to do with gold anymore.
Hmm
@azure moat once you get all roles, you will level up like crazy
I leveled up like 15 levels or so in a day
Well i have max 2 hours a day dedicated to games
I did bounty hunting and while waiting for the time of the bounty to hit 30 secs, i collected all the collectibles around the area
Pretty enough tbh
I dont get this
Ah this
Yep
In between, open the online collectible maps and collect stuff on the way
Maximum gold, money and xp
If possible
Im not so immersed
I just wanted 25 lvl asap to get 2 gunz
Go to emerald ranch, establish a camp close by
Kill all the cows and animals
Now i just go online to kill other players
Pft
Wild west without bastards like me is boring as hell
Well i dont kill them most of the time, just bond them ))
If you can then why not
Agreed
I honestly
Go around and call myself the booty stalker
I just crouch
And go around stalling people's butts
Lol
Stalking
Then tie them up if I like it
Run around them in circles
Then untie them
If they attack, i keep killing them pfffft
You on xbox?
PC
Sadly
No crossplay?
Ah i got the point
I disabled imba aim assistant:)
Couldnt get why ppl shoot me in the head 99% times in pvp
paint it black 
it is v sad 
Only good thing is the lack of modders on consoles
does scope length affect it's zoom lvl ?
long scope has more zoom than medium for example? or is it only for the looks
it affects the zoom level yes
nice thanks
for trader role, how much time you need before the production is halted again? for the goods i remember it being 1 good per 2 minutes..
I never calculated, it usually gives you a message in the top left corner
So it never mattered to me
And tbh, any gun that isnt rolling block rifle or carcano needs no scope
I never really made use of the scope
Except hunting animals here and there with a springfeild or a bolt action
And i wouldnt encourage hunting with a bolt action from very far away either, because sometimes the bullet gets weaker and doesnt one shot the animal,
So they have been of no use to me
So if you are saving money, no need for a scope imo
imagine if you could use the Carcano without a scope
Bruh I would rather take out my navy baby and shoot them down
no glitch talk, thanks
Alright
People when rockstar doesn't update today: commits suicide
I was just about to complain about one lmfao
Anyway
I will turn my character to a red dead art style soon
Hopefully it works, i have an idea of how to do so
what time does the Tuesday update usually drop anyway?
i've never actually taken note on it
Now i cant load into a lobby.. ive tried for like 3 times n keep getting disconnected
Between 4-5 pm i think
That's usually when i see new updates
there's a lot of timezones out there...
I am not looking forward to updates anymore, i am just done tbh
I found my entertainment in stalking butts and triggering people
only update i'll care about is seeing the words "outlaw pass 3"
I never bought an outlaw pass
What it be out
About
Or new roles or something, but i can wait
Been waiting for 7 months so
We love being kicked out of rdo every two seconds when you're in missions
Waiting a little longer
I got outlaw pass 1 but my idiotic ass thought it was like some permanent account "buff" or something so you got extra rewards per rank, started playing online properly about 3 weeks ago realising it was a one chance thing.
How much was it
do daily fees get subtracted from you if you don't log on for a while?
nope
today or never boys
RDRO/GTAO update announcement, or something bad
in 1-3 hours we should get a tweet from rockstar
or next week
Time to put clown nose on
What update? 
Sarcasm is lost on you, sir.

Benefits for new players, to be precise. More often than not, veterans don't gain much from the weekly update.
Pretty much, I'm only 3 weeks old to the online side of the game and I'm already rank 20 in every role except bounty hunter and at rank 115, burnt out way too fast.
Need Moar content so I can slow myself down
only 2 more hours till we get a tweet
whats new tbh
Pretty much lol
@marsh dirge we already knew they were going to skip this week tho
And what if they skip the next week aswell?
no benefits today ?
no
Idk what I did but I got 999 arrows for 20c

yo my story missions are stuck at 50% is this normal?
What you mean?
you might need to get on low honour before being able to continue
some missions r only available depending on your honour level
Yep, kill some npc
Thats unfortunate but you cant finish the story if you are absolutely clean
I have low low honor
I'm still laughing over the arrow situation
@vapid depot do a stranger mission. Sometimes that helps
I barely get anything
I was doing lots of story missions back to back and it stopped at 50%
how do I get high honor
missions where you have to take moral choices
take care of your boy/girl
or pay 10 gold to that old fool
im only doing story missions to get bounty hunter
Do a stranger mission
For me the same thing happens
The quests doesn't show up
But if I do a stranger mission it shows up
I did 2 stranger missions
Hmmm that's odd
But if I remember correctly the story mode quest isn't even finished
I literally need 3 more gold
I dont know but im still stucked at that missions that you have to go cut a guys head but they cut the brothers head.... When i do tje second mission of that part after finish i return with the first mission only available
no
@slim pagoda great
Yeah i can to but after finish that next mission it comes to the first one where you kill the brother
the bank robbery for me was the 2nd before the last
ill check
I restarted the game wont help but you know rockstar games
also did the 2 step verification thing and didnt get 10 gold yet been like 2 days
I didnt pass my own story line but did it with othets many times
10 gold for 2 step verification? Wut?
Social Club 2-Step Verification Bonus
Everyone that adds 2-Step Verification to their Social Club account (and anyone who already has) will receive:
• GTA$500K in GTA Online
• 10 Gold Bars in the Red Dead Online Beta
the last one for me was destroyed by grief by the way
Epic games Giveaway revived it for couple weeks but now its dead dead
yea it's so dead tho
only 100k players everyday on steam
- all those other thousands on the rest of the plataforms
and the 4th most played game on steam
bad connection
I have perfect connection bro
Rockstars ass of servers
I literally need like 2 more gold bars how do I get them quick
Bounty hunter missions
I need 2 more gold bars for bounty hunter
Join another posse
dont have friends online
I farmed my 30+ gold sitting on other players necks
None of them are my friends
I guess
and how exactly do I get into a random posse doing bounty hunter missions
Hmm maybe they are actually but i have no idea
Every time i start the game ihave an option to start with posse
I just jump in and put something on my keyboard to press g while riding
Guys do missions, i get exp gold and coins
I did Love and Honor, the right side of the tracks, if the hat fits, koresene tar and greed, More than one way to earn a buck, kill them each and everyone one, these bastards can fight, banks dont rob themselves and destroyed by grief
now im on 50% and nothings showing up
just keep taking up bounty contracts
Race series
do the final one where you gotta kill the armored guy with a shotgun
race series are a hit and miss, if you're on PC dun bother
half the time you're getting bots who do mini circles in the races to stretch the time so that they get higher payouts
missions are no because its stuck for some reason on 50%
I think I know a solution
replay the first 2 honor missions and play with high honor
get high honor and unlock the other story missions
understandable
to be honest i think that´s the best way to get higher honor.... Horse care
do story missions
they are stuck on 50%
or you can just pay to get high honor
i forget what his name is but there are locations on the map where you can pay an old man like 6 gold to change your honor
You got treasure maps?
Join session, move to rhodes or blackwater or strawberry and just ways for a random guy
I'd recommend strawberry
ways?
Find a random guy and ask him to team up to play some bounty hunter missions
Get the bounty, wait 12-30 min and drop the bounty at the jail
Go for the next one
yeah yeah ive done bounty hunting before
If there is a timer, wait untill last 15-20 sec
still havent gotten my 10 gold from 2 step verification
You'll be able to find people to play with if you access the lfg channels
Give me couple hours
Hold on, r u on pc?
If you are on console, there is nothing i can do..
chnge sessions
BTW by lvl 17 i had enough posses available to always join someone
Strange that you dont
I don't know why ppl spam me with friend invites tbh
ur just so irresistible and popular
Nope, i just roleplay hard
Madam
Lookin' fer the Madam? Check here #dailies-nazar
no info from rockstar either
As usual
its not usual, really, by this time we usually had some info
Weekly discounts????
No idea
The article from last week says July 14-27
So that covers this week as well
Are you guys still getting BH bonuses?
I gave up on this game 2 months ago
I've been going for Damascus on call of duty since that game is way more fun even with friends and is cross platform
Anyone up for some fun?
Good thing we aren't Rockstar, and mods aren't allowed here, so complaining about either won't do nothing here
It's under dead eye abilities; the pink cards.
Oh
You can pull it up using the PC equivalent of LB, then hit the equivalent of Y to view abilities. It'll be the first card on the far left.
Lol i just found a funny bug
If you dead eye a guy in saloon with a shotgun he'll stand up and run away with his head blown up
TBH i'd prefer paint it black to never exist
Its imba thing
Now i headshot anyone all around me
I thought i was bad, but it turned out that i just didnt have paint it black
Its not for pvp
I don't think it's all that bad. Just use one of the other two primary pvp cards and you won't have an issue with it
SNS blocks headshot lethality, and they can't reliably hit your head with SB
Hello!
@azure moat SnS counters it
I needed to PiB 3 times on a level 1 SnS to kill em,
Which is like a bodyshot.
Hello
Yo.
How are you
How do i report cheater
You'll find a link to Rockstar Support at #rdr2-online-support
@final tinsel , is there some sort of route planner for RDR2?
The route planner
what is SnS and SB
Don't ping Lilith.
There isn’t
They're ability cards for dead eye
thanks!
I haven't played in a while and found a random camp with 1 skinner brother in it
Were there always npcs labeled skinner brothers before in online
Camp defense
God I forgot how hard online is when you start off
Just murder everyone you see
Nice
Go into the Lfg channel.
anyone know why we didnt get an update today?
some people think it's because they plan to release a big update, but honestly who knows
this is rockstar
They said that this update would last until the 27th
do they tell the "end date" on twitter or something?
I think so.
any reason? or just vague?
Most vague by the looks of things.
I will post a pic in #general-media
I’m honestly enjoying the game a lot.
good good
so, no news from r* about yesterday and..in general?
Did anyone else get a message for new twitch rewards?
When I was live streaming last night, I got a pop up while loading in on PS4. It said 50 percent off a dog and 50 percent off a tent.
It happened 3 times and then I couldn't find the discount in game
I got one when I first logged on but that’s it
I had the option to skip it and it never showed up again
At least we got one little glimpse of one of the next things to come
@thick forum Check #red-dead-media, someone posted the picture of it there
I wanna help escort trader sells more
Man. So far, I've had nothing but harassment in online. Is it always that bad?
this guy wouldn't leave me be, despite my asking him quite a few times
I've only played online about 20 mins
It definitely soured me on the experience.
I've been playing since the first day of beta and the amount of times I've been harassed can be counted on one hand. And I welcome it sadly enough.
It do be like be that sometimes, just go into another sever if u dont feel like fighting him
It wasn't fighint
Was it verbal
Get ur knife out, u can cut the rope easily
Play in defensive mode and they won't be able to do that.
is the gta free trader role thing still going on ?
I don't think so
so if I make camp, it moves my homebase, basically?
@jaunty zealot Go to #roles and pick the platform that you're on, once you do that, the lfg channels will be available to you.
will there be an outlaw pass i missed the last one one march because i haven't got the game at that time
Doubt it
oh damn i really want that husky for my camp
plus grinding the exp seems like fun thing to do at least you get to grind more lol
Its been such a long time sense the last outlaw pass ended too
When I get bored in RDRO I go to valentine and taunt them.
Hoping I can get a fistfight.
Nope
Hah
go to players and click on their name
then press report player
and the reason why
thank you. So far my experience with online is that every player is all about ruining the experience for others
it sucks. I was pretty excited to try online
and so far noone has been helpful, everyone has been a jerkoff
i can help
Can always go into random posses or make one
But yeah if u go to th lfg chat and ask ppl to join ur posse im sure someone will
Yeah pull up your player menue and just go to posses, u can make one or join one
I meant to report someone
Oh, just pull up ur menue then and click on the guys name
There should be a report button
I hit esc, I see map, benefits, help, progress, abilities, player, story, online, social club, ect. If I hit player it shows me info about me, and horse
I see noones online stuff
online shows me professions, ect.
U play on pc then?
Idk what button it is to pull up the player menu
There's the player menue and the pause menue
I play pc
Yeah press L and the online menu should be available to you
They do appear
But for a short period of time
Like it blips and disappears
For every 4 seconds I think
ah, okay. Thank you.
I love the single player. I'm trying to enjoy the multi.
Takes a little getting used to. I'm hoping the next folks I meet aren't trolls as well
thinking of getting the bounty wagon to catch those bounty with 4 targets or more, my question is is it worth buying if you just play solo because i am assuming the targets will still run and it will be headache to chase them all and put them in the wagon
@
will there be an outlaw pass i missed the last one one march because i haven't got the game at that time
@raw marsh it will prob come out with the next content update when ever that will be
I find most people on RDO just want to mind their own business, it's usually the high level players who are either being kind or being assholes
@raw marsh it's definitely worth buying if u like the the bounty hunter role, but yeah the targets will still run off. Some will but not all of them. They usually have pretty high payouts greater than a tier 3 bounty poster with one target. There are rare occasions where none of the 6 ppl will run off. Got that myself only twice tho
It's easier to do the 6 target ones with a posse
At least with one other person
I just spent the last 2 1/2 hours looking at every weapon stat bar and compared them to my sheet, I just made a list nearly 3 pages long of every single incorrect stat in the game. WTF rockstar
What
How do I fix it if I keep getting network errors when trying to connect online?
Where do i get the clown stuff?
You make one
Going on a bear hunt.
Good luck
What
@haughty portal The weapon stat bars. Tons of them are wrong compared to how they actually perform.
love wasting my time with broken bounties that dont work
Does bait still work?
Bait works?
I think it does
Did I waste my money on the poison arrow and throwing knife stuff? LOL
I’m just having fun watching the alligators run away and die shortly after anyway
I'm in a private lobby, what should I do!?
I feel like it'd be a waste to leave
yeah, full sadly
well i'm on xbox if anyone wants it then I guess
shame there's no craftables and such like in story that require specific animal pelts
@marsh dirge use #deliveries-xbox
4 perfect bear pelts. 
I just spent the last 2 1/2 hours looking at every weapon stat bar and compared them to my sheet, I just made a list nearly 3 pages long of every single incorrect stat in the game. WTF rockstar
@marsh dirge was it a stealth balance update? Or was it wrong all along?
No, no stealth update it’s just been wrong all this time and I finally got around to noting them all
Hey guys? What’s best shotgun atm?
Shotguns
Pump Action has the best accuracy (smallest bloom sizes and fastest shrink) which makes it the most consistent for one shot kills. Most reliable in general.
Repeating is essentially a little less accurate (slightly larger bloom sizes) in exchange for one extra shot; maybe more preferable in PvE but not PvP- stats wise.
Double Barrel has the highest damage per pellet ratio, thus the most damaging at further ranges but because of its poorer accuracy (larger bloom sizes, slowest bloom shrink) you need to use PiB to really take advantage of it.
Semi-Auto has horrendous accuracy (largest bloom sizes, slow bloom shrink) and its increased rate of fire is irrelevant when aiming because it’s so insignificantly faster. However when hipfiring you’ll notice a much faster rate of fire. Thus it is best used in Slippery Bastard since all accuracy is standardized and shotguns should be hipfired using that ability anyway since hipfire has a smaller bloom size than aiming for shotguns when affected by SB.
Sawed Offs aren't fairly comparable to the longarm shotguns. They make for a good dual wield weapon when using two medium-long range longarms however. They fire very quickly and have very high DPS when in very close range, as well as access to two special ammo types. However their limited range, and high rate of fire makes them chew through ammo quickly.
Is that after you made the update to it or before?
Mmm whatcha mean?
Hmm, what’s good shotgun for pvp?
I just spent the last 2 1/2 hours looking at every weapon stat bar and compared them to my sheet, I just made a list nearly 3 pages long of every single incorrect stat in the game. WTF rockstar
@marsh dirge I'm talking about this
Pump overall, Double Barrel exclusively for Paint it Black, Semi Auto exclusively for Slippery Bastard
Hmm i see
Oh if my stats were wrong or if theirs were? Sorry I’m tired and might not be understanding something really simple lol
Their stats
So semi auto shotgun is still good???
Oh, yeah their stats. My stats are up to date and the correct ones, I was comparing the stat bars in game according to how they actually perform and noting what was incorrect. Like some examples:
LeMat showing a faster reload speed than the Sawed Off on the bar, but in reality it’s much slower.
The Navy showing less damage than the Carbine on the bar, but actually dealing more damage than the Carbine.
The Lancaster showing a lower accuracy than the Springfield on the bar even though they are exactly the same in terms of accuracy. There are TONS of them
~182 incorrect stats of weapons when compared to weapons outside their class (like revolvers to repeaters, pistols to rifles, and everything in between)
~27 incorrect stats when comparing them to others in their weapon class (sidearms to sidearms, repeaters to repeaters, and so on)
So semi auto shotgun is still good???
@torpid iron It's the least accurate shotgun in the game, so you'd usually end up needing to shoot multiple times to get a kill. Which makes it's Time to Kill slower than other shotguns.
Why I only would say to use it in Slippery Bastard
Hmm
I find the double barrel to have much better bloom sizes when it comes to slugs against the pump.
been using the db more often now for that reason
Cap let me know if we missed a pin lol
Their movement and recoil bloom sizes are the same, but the Pump has a better initial aim size and fully shrunk size with slugs*
Alrighty lol
I guess i'm usually running around like a mad man while shooting or on horseback
but on horseback I find that the db does have better slug bloom.
I just realised I never upgraded my pump in the ways of accuracy dont mind me
Horseback doesn't make the accuracy worse than from on foot, in fact it technically makes it better since you can be at full gallop and still get the fully shrunk size which would only be possible when standing still on foot
That might be why then.
Familiarity and the Long Barrel upgrade improves the bloom shrink, which may make it seem like it has better sizes since it shrinks faster.
What's funny is that shotgun post I made, I just did one for each weapon class on reddit because a guy made separate polls on the "best" of each weapon type and I replied to each. If it would be easier I could just condense them all into one?
I retract everything I said
I do want to thank you tho for reminding me to upgrade the pump lol
Best rifle for pvp?
I should probably look into the ability cards too
Standard Rifles
Disclaimer: Damage values will change according to ability cards and weight. See the pinned Arsenal post for more information on weapon stats.
Bolt Action deals 58.55 damage and has a faster rate of fire than the Springfield. Better DPS along with the same great accuracy makes it objectively a better standard rifle.
Springfield deals 64 damage. It can potentially need one less shot to kill than the Bolt Action, but due to the lower rate of fire it offers it has a slower time to kill on average.
Elephant (Entry coming later)
Long Range Rifles
Special Note: Please use Sharpshooter when using either Long Range Rifle for better performance. It can be the difference between needing 1 or 2 shots with the Rolling Block when facing it's preferred target in PvP, and is quite nice for the Carcano and can lead to needing 1-2 fewer shots than normal when facing it's preferred target in PvP.
Rolling Block deals higher damage than the Carcano, unfortunately I could not get an exact damage value when within optimal range with it. My apologies. However it has a much slower rate of fire, which makes it's DPS slower than the Carcano. It is only superior than the Carcano when facing players who have at most 1 damage reduction card and are not using a health tonic.
Carcano deals 123.25 damage and has a much faster rate of fire than the Rolling Block. This gives it the DPS advantage. Overall it is the superior Long Range Rifle for both PvE and PvP. The fire rate alone makes it more useful in PvE due to facing groups of enemies, and the DPS it offers makes it superior against Tank Builds and any player using a Health Tonic, which is the vast majority of players.
I have a pinned list of ability cards you should get. Also if you find my pinned Arsenal reddit post I have a tab that lists different kinds of ability card "builds" you could make for both PvE and PvP
The google doc should be pinned already, gotta scroll down a bit to see it
i wonder if never witout one ability card is useful in PVE? seems like my hat always cameoff the moment the fighting started
im trying to make a durable build so i am using Slow and steady - iron lung - fool me once. just wondering for the last passive should i use never without one for the less damage taken while wearing hat or kick in the butt for longer dead eye duration everytime i got hit.. or maybe Come Back Stronger for regen health after i got hit
Isn't it unblinking eye for longer dead eye
oh sorry i was mistaken, kick in the butt is for getting a portion of my deadeye back the moment i got hit
wonder if they would be useful since you can just consume tonics for getting deadeye bar, but might not get the chance in sticky situations.. need some recs
@raw marsh I wouldn’t use NWO in PvE. It’s only a 10% damage reduction (same as IL) but once you lose your hat you are taking an additional ~25% damage. Main reason to use it is for that rare chance of deflecting a headshot in PvP. Strange Medicine is extremely powerful in PvE. I’d wholly recommend that over your other options. You could drop Iron Lung in favor of Eye For An Eye as well. EFAE and SM can give you practically endless dead eye and health if you can land headshots.
I wouldn’t recommend Come Back Stronger. It’s only a 15% increase in health regen speed. It’s very minor and Strange Medicine is much more powerful as a healing card.
Kick in the Butt will basically counteract the dead eye loss when taking damage during S&S, so you’d still be stuck with a limited duration as it isn’t strong enough to really earn back more than you use during dead eye and the replenishment outside of dead eye isn’t as plentiful as EFAE
A good tank build in PvE would be like:
Slow and Steady
Iron Lung: if you are good with headshots, it can technically give you higher damage reduction per enemy since it doesn’t need to ramp up, or...
Fool Me Once: gives more damage reduction after being ramped up, but only affects each individual enemy as they shoot you. Could be better if you are slower at getting headshots.
Strange Medicine: restores 20 HP (20% of the bar) on a headshot, and restores a lesser amount when dealing damage (amount restored is damage dependent)
Eye For An Eye: restores 20 Dead Eye (20% of the bar) on headshot. Can give you unlimited duration if you can land headshots quickly enough (1 headshot gives ~6 seconds of duration back, so you’d need to get a headshot every 6 seconds at least and a headshot every time you are shot ~3 times to stay at full)
thasnks!
what about PVP durable build ?
i guess SnS, iron lung, fool me once and NwO ?
$15 ingame and I have no damn motivation to make any money.
why does the most lucrative role have to be the most tedious and boring one of the lot?
That's just how it be. But honestly, target the higher price collector items. Don't do a run for EVERYTHING.
Usually collecting top 3-4 sets will take 2-3 hours.
I usualy just go coins and jewellery
but even then ive done those so many damn times its just like watching static on my screen
Lmao I hear ya. I've found solo collecting to be a bore. The last 2 times I did it, I had someone with me, plus had to deal with griefers.
yeah I usualy just collect now when i'm with my friends, been doing a decent amount of bounty hunting but just after unlocking rank 20 i've kinda used up my savings on a Breton and clothes as you do.
I'm losing hope r* will ever substantially update RD2:O. I think they've realized it wont be as big cash cow as GTA:O and abandoned it. Some AI prob. doing the weekly bonuses as well, cause most of it doesn't make any sense.
it does astound me that they didn't try and keep the game shining through the pandemic
was their golden chance to make some serious cash
absolutely, many creators used that chance. and as huge company as r* didn't care. makes you wonder. after the VP Dan Houser left, seems r* is in absolute sh*tter
whoever took their place must think that discounts are enough to keep players entertained
its only taken me 3 weeks to burn through everything rdo has to offer
Thank you captain. I’ll need to level up for the carcano rifle then
What does the trader role get me?
money
Depression
gathering the mats is a pain in the ass tho and the production is always halted every 30 min or so
just get collector for them moneys lol
well just get it i guess you can collect the mats, do the resupply and then wait for crisp to convert them into goods and then you can sell it. while you wait for the goods you can do some other activities like collecting stuff or do bounties
at rank 10 with large supply wagon you can sell the goods every 3 hours or so to get 600-700$ but remember you have to keep resupplying every 30 min to keep the production going
Okay
it might be every 1 hour to resupply them but it feel so fast for me that i just say every 30 min lol
Ok
but you have to give the guy a lot of carcasses to fill the bar
and then you do the resupply mission to enable the production, and then just wait until you can sell the goods
1 goods every 2 mins, at low lv you can sell max of 25 goods in small wagon, and then 50 goods in medium wagon at rank 5, and then 100 goods in large wagon at rank 10
what about PVP durable build ?
@raw marsh No NWO, the extra 10% isn’t worth how much extra you take when you lose the hat and you are already headshot immune. The final slot would be better used as a damage card slot. Sharpshooter for snipers or Winning Streak for anything else
Could it be that Legendary bounty hunts are not available anymore?
so they updated gta:o as usual but not rd:o. what could that mean? anyone got an informed insight?
its always avaialble to me, legendary bounties
maybe its on cooldown for you, i think the cooldown is every 1 hour
also thanks as usual captain
Howdy!!! is there anyone else having trouble finding the enemy´s hideouts? i used the compendium several times to try to find the hideouts but i´ll go to the locations shown on compendium map....and.... nope there´s nobody there just me and my horse xD
It takes time for them to spawn in. You can be at a location for 45 minutes, before it activates.
Also you want to stay in the area, not directly at the hideout location.
Oohhh ok ok só every hideout takes 45 min to respawn is that it?
Trapper?
Idk man
Watch Silentc0re's new video
There's not an exact timer, I was just giving an example.
sounds good, but its only a speculation without any weight to it, like gta 6 in a few months etc
@low garden oh ok ok thanks a lot for the help
Trapping and legendary animals is in the coding. Just don't know when we actually get it.
News came from a rocjstar insider supposebly
Now the question is
ofc its in the coding, its IN the game 🙂 just single player game 🙂
Will we be able to find Legendary Fish?
It's in the RDO coding

We have an informer xD @viral hemlock
It popped up sometime early this year.
Not sure about fish, nothing data mined on those.
I mean silentc0re is a reliable youtuber but still take it as a grain of salt
^
hm..yeah, well i dunno, r* would tease, i think, they're good at that. and that was like what, 6 months ago? 🙂 doesn't really encourage optimism 🙂 esp in current events light. updated gta events like normally, but rdo left totally abandoned
Ok, how much are we going to sell the pelts/carcasses for
It better be worth the hunt
i would like not the $ or G, but something single player style - exclusive stuff to unlock 🙂
True
and legendary animals should be really rare. and r* should add some really rare stuff you could get from drops etc. would encourage ppl playing.
more rare stuff from treasure chests
eh, well, there are ton of good ideas everywhere, but r* don't care 🙂
@oblique citrus bruh the reason there was newswire update for RDO is because we’re currently in a two week event
i dont think it was planned as 2 week event. check benefits in game. says should have ended 20th of July
??????? It’s the 27th of July it’s been like that since last week
i think you missing few more "??" 🙂 well it is 2 week event cause they cant even be bothered anymore 😄 but check the benefit page in game
Whatever you say dude
?
where do I go get the racoon hat?
the store
You can get one from doing the 2 factor authorization for your account
Has anyone gotten the twitch prime stuff yet?
Ugh I cant get any hideouts to complete this challenge
loll i will never try to do it again since the defend camp challenge
the spawn is just too random its not worth waiting for
better do bounty posters for that time instead
any else rarely ever get rewards for their bounty
Hey, anyone want to team up? Im just looking for someone to play online with
no mic req
@hoary depot You're gonna want to go to #roles and pick your platform, it'll let you have access to your platform's group up rooms
yo anyone want to do some collector work? (XBOX ONLY) my gt is Red xDemonZ
any hunting, moonshine and bounty hunter is cool too
@hard torrent sorry
Did anyone get the alert for twitch prime benefits when opening red dead but it wasn’t in game yet? One of them I believe was half off a dog for camp.
can assassination missions just fuck off? Peacefully trying to do my collecting and having lvl 400+ people coming after you is just a pain.
@jaunty belfry If you need to hide away, go in defensive. You're less likely to get hit that way.
I'm always in defensive, I only pvp if someone starts on me.
but being the target for a mission while you just want to mind your own business is the height of frustration.
Are all players racist? I was just wondering around and a player called me a n*** piece of shit for no reason..
Well to my friend
Alright this is gonna be my first time playing online ! What should I do?
get muneh
I made my character super ugly lmao
can they maybe remove the "bump" from pvp combat..
just turns into rugby with guns.
people running around like rhinos knocking others over and making use of the massive delay for when they get up to just carpet them in bullets
Someone spoils to me if rdo trolls are gone
I dont want to play and have to get shot every 5 secs
There will always be trolls @winged shuttle
Online aint that fun tbh, especially not for all hardcore players that has been around since the beta and has everything, but if you're new to rdo it might be more enjoyable
Unless people troll of course
But that mostly happens while ur in a town
i saw it on twitter! finally r*
wait wait wait, they said "new extensions and augmentations to an existing role in Red Dead Online"
that means the rumors about turning bounty hunter role into lawmen is true?
and that vague argument in the interview
"featuring our latest take on Heists in an entirely new location." and this too.....
yes
As in shop/bank robberies
well we will have to wait 4 days to know for sure
Well the current update is about naturalism as stated in the Newswire
From the screenshot, it looks like the trapper is back
Based on the clothing
like they said, they added the most requested features to the update, and all that shit they mentioned in the newswire, this might be the BIGGEST online update rockstar has ever done, since GTA has been released
they have never released so much content at once tho
The upcoming updates will be the biggest ever for both RDO and GTAO apparently
I’m so hyped
Rockstar just did a complete 360 and redeemed themselves man
Heist pog
wait no, the heist is for GTAO
and the bounty hunter role extension is not coming in this update, it will be part of the december update
new role extension is most likely legendary animals for trader
I mean the animals in the neswire were a massive moose and a very spotted panther
or a jaguar
since that interview
still everything is pretty exciting, the fact that they are going to add the most requested features and fixes
bruh finally
Mein Gott
i just hope, we will be able to change the whistle type
Hahahaha, no way. I can’t believe you guys are FINALLY getting the update you deserve
change the whistle style and pitch is all i asked for

They said a MASSIVE new update on tuesday
@tulip hornet and it is big
im guessing the new role has something to do with the trapper since the character is dressed fur clothing / and or legendary animals
They said they are adding features requested by players, anyone have any idea what they might be
im afraid i won't be able to play if they didnt add the option to change the whistle
So... finally. A new content update...
Nvm
@oak yew hopefully SP mechanics, more appearance options.
No properties i'm afraid :'-(
I just hope we wont have to wait 6 more months for the next update again.
also the hair growth system for online would be great
@mint wraith december.
it will be released in december 100% sure
Oh, december... best christmas gift in that case.
I just hope itll receive content updates more regularly this time.
Ive never seen a leopard in RDO online before, neither in story
i mean wasnt the frontier pursuit update in like auguest not july
They showed a pic on a leopard
I suppose we are getting online-only content.
august*
@twilit hemlock yea sometimes the summer update is delayed
Could this be a hint that guarma will arrive to online?
maybe
Would be awesome
i think it has something to do with legendary animals also
guarma? absolutely not tho
I'd like a heist update more, but imma take what i'll get
who knows tho
Since i'm not Into killing animals, and dont enjoy it very much this new role wouldnt be anything for me
pretty sure there are no jaguars on Guarma
Lagras is a swamp area more, so no jaguars there either
Atleast now we know they havent given up on rdo
I told y'all they would update soon :-))
well we all knew it was coming in end of july/beginning of august
i mean people thought it was coming in may and then june and then july
whoever thought it was coming in may or june, is probably new to the rockstar games world
i think anyone who played their online games since they were released know they got a schedule for their updates
people were thinking that bc when the benefits would end when they handed out abunch of benefits
july and december, that's it
So anyway, aside from the new role and such, what do y'all think is comin to rdo?
pretty much all we have been requesting i guess
what were the most requested features?
there will be a TON of missing content compared to what we wanted
we only got a sneak peak
ye they can't add everything
so not much point making too many guesses
better clothing options ability,to rob trains/stores, the trapper being added etc
but if they added the musical instruments, they will add a ton of stuff.
the musical instruments were probably at the end of the list
they were pretty high on my list
whut
the simple things are what i enjoy
yea it's a cool RP detail
that's what i enjoy about RDRO, the roleplaying, that's why most of the people dislike RDRO i guess
So next coming update will probably be dec after this one
most people are uncreative
and as dull as rocks
thats why they buy black arabians with the best saddle and a gleaming lantern on it.
i play solo and i find it extremely enjoyable, in GTAO we don't have all that stuff, it's just a grindfest
I regret spending all my money now
just make more
I guesss
i ussually grind the coins everyday, and then i do etta doyle repeats
but I want to be the first of my friends to get the cool stuff!!!11
so i total i think i make 2k a day
"ONLY"
if you're fast
I did a full run twice. Never again.
I did it once, and I will never do it again
I just target the top 4 collectible sets if I do.
i'd rather slam my balls in a doorway with the enjoyment I had
only the coins are a pain in the ass for me to get, because it's boring asf
i did 3 sets once, that was already too much
I think i'll just do ****** wagon runs back to back and do dailies for gold until then
i put some brian adams music playing when i do my coin set
boring music with boring tasks
fits perfectly
Could this have anything to do with the clown movement
not at all
the clown movement didn't make a difference tho
@jaunty belfry I can complete all sets in like 6 hours if im a 🐆
I mean yea it only started a week ago
I usually just do coins and all the jewelry, brings in about $1850
I only have 25 golds to prepare for this update
even if we started the clown movement 1 year ago it wouldnt make a difference, rockstar has an update schedule.
Fair point
summer, and christmas
🐌
If this update pattern is usual why are there a lot of people complaining?
the clown movement didn't make a difference tho
fucking thank you
i don't know
probably people who want miracles, i have played rockstar's online games since they were released so i always know exactly when they are going to drop an update
Damn
Accurate enough
i said from the very beginning they were going to release an update from 20-30th july
I'm starting to notice this pattern too thanks to you
hopefully if they add the trapper better clothing options will come
Hmm what do i want exactly
don't we have too much clothes already?
the trapper clothes from SP would be nice
we have too much trash clothes
^
there are some solid stuff in that
the only appearance options i want to be added are hairstyels and beards, and perhaps the SP hair growth system
Yes
and the change whistle option
I want a badass looking beard
hair growth would be great
Like Joel from tlou2 or 1 at least
I want slightly longer stubble lol
and i want longer hair
i also want to change the goddamn whistle of my character, he sounds like a 11 year old.
fortunately he barely makes any noise
Is there alot of people buying gold or are players grinding? Because there are like so many ways to make gold but yea im just wondering
at a higher level gold tends to just come in over time from dailies and bounties
lvl 20 bounty hunter and a 2.5 daily multiplier usualy nets in a good 5 gold a day
and thats on the low end
@marsh dirge most people get it by just doing dailies and building up your streak
i stopped doing regular bounties when i ended the grind to level 20
i can't do them anymore
I only hit tier 3 bounties and legendary ones
I only do the smaller ones for my friends when they want to grind a bit
hopefully if we are getting a trader role expansion, i just want the grind to be better
but thats usualy the smaller 6 man ones
im still only level 7 trader
its annoying when you have to wait 9+ minutes just for the timer to go down
I only started 3 weeks ago and I shafted myself hard with content. finished too much of it too quickly.
yeah hopefully the bounty rework will remove the stupid timer multiplier
I dont know if its worth buying any gold rn but probably i will because i dont have very much
I have plenty of cash but that's it
hopefully they do something with Sisika penitentiary
it skips alot of grind
its just a waste right now
that's one thing they learned about the GTAO micro transactions
True its kinda worth it 25 aint that much
25 gold for $10 is fair for low levels because gold is harder to come by
and its good to give yourself a little boost
but 25 gold at lvl 100 or higher is next to nothing
you can get pretty much 3 roles with the 25gold bars + the story mode gold bars you get.
so it's a great boost
Yeah but then you dont really need like 1k gold bars which some people actually has..
eh 25 gold bars is still alot to me, most of the stuff that cost gold is cheap
thats because somehow people can grind gold bars like madmen
except the roles
like I can grind, I play some seriously grindy games, but I dont get how people can grind that much gold
Id say its good to have atleast 100 gold bars tho
i would have 500 gold bars too if i didnt spend them so often, im always tweaking my weapons appearance and buying new clothing
changing the material type of the weapon is expensive asf
Gelak is ready
ii mean for this update if the prices are the same as the moonshiner update you will need 40-65 gold, 65 if you want to get the outlaw pass and the new role at once
might get my posse together tomorrow and do a mass collection
get the $$$ for the update
i hope this outlaw pass has dutch's outfit
When they released moonshiners update the property was like 30gbs i think?? can be wrong but that aint to much
it probably will
it was 25
dutch's outfit is just too cool
25 but im pretty sure it will be similar price
might get my posse together tomorrow and do a mass collection
@jaunty belfry save those sets for the outlaw pass. sell them in complete sets for that bonus exp to push that pass level

what do you need to do to level up in the gamepass?
you smart man
prob since it will prob be connected to another role instead of it being by its own
just earn exp @slim pagoda
that's it?
yea
so i guess i will do alot of collector sets
the last outlaw pass was like 2k xp per level i think
so hoard those full collector sets and sell them to nazar for bonus exp
it goes by quick
so 200k exp? that's alot
