    Saw this on reddit thought it might be handy for others, was annoying getting poor or good skins every time.

    This looks like the strategy book. Got one myself and haven’t read much of it TBH, haven’t played much of the game....

    Came across a dynamic event so not really spoiler it involves a safe though
    2 guys trying to break open a safe. I killed them and now have a locked safe I can't do anything with. Anyone know how to unlock a safe?

    You can buy lock breaking kits from the fence in St. Denis. Probably from other fences too.

    See the fence in emerald station think he had something for the job.

    Valentine later on across from the sheriff office and told be I could have a gun on his tab

    Yep, have that already. Doesn't work on the safe. I tried dynamite and it worked. Thought I would have destroyed the contents but it didn't.

    You can set a waypoint. Then start galloping towards it, enter cinematic mode and your horse will keep going following the path automatically. Very handy for the further away points. I'm typing this as my horse gets on with it :D

    This isn't working for me. I have to hold X or the horse, or horse and carriage as it is right now stops moving. Extremely tedious.

    I read a book in the camp, and could have sworn it was written by the same guy who did the Trent short story here on
    Boards :D laughed out loud reading it

    Yeah I know people who sound and talk like that.

    I've a question, there is a red food icon appearing at regular intervals for my horses health. I've fed him multiple times and his core is full but the icon still appears. Any ideas?

    You probably increased your Deadeye level, in which case you now manually select your shots while in Deadeye.

    I have a silly question...

    How do you control your horse to slow down / stop on XB? I keep bashing into everyone in towns / people that pass me on trails and they end getting knocked over and starting a gun fight.

    Drove into 6 people outside the postoffice and started a war :(

    Your horse is dirty and needs to be brushed.

    I was out exploring and came across a house with a fat fella on the porch and his wife came out also and they were inviting me in for a meal and a drink of the finest stuff.

    It turns out I was eating a person and they were brother and sister who were a couple and they tried to poison me with the drink as the screen went all funny colours and I was dizzy. They said have another and the prompt came up drink another but I said I best be on my way and high tailed it out of there.

    Well I was just in camp just now and one of the gang comes up to me saying I was talking to these pig farmers in town and they said they invited some guy inside. Sound awful like you, sounds like you had a good time. I burst out laughing.

    I had that encounter myself -
    instead of doing the sensible thing and leaving, I took another drink. Went all woozy then and the fella told the woman to take all my money. Woke up later at night, in a pit up the hill under a dead body without a cent on me, they must have thought they'd done me in. So I went back down to the house shotgun in hand, burst in the door to their surprise and blasted them away! Had to search the house to find my money, it was stashed behind a painting.

    If there's one thing I have to complain about, it's how slow the walking is. Not just in camp or in general, but particularly when shooting. It's not too bad in missions when it's set up that there's lots of cover and enemies come in waves, but three times today I came across small camps with enemies and got killed because I can't move fast enough to get to cover. There's just no need for it. No need for the walking/strafing to be so slow.

    When you are aiming, press square to do a sort of dolphin dive if you are getting riddled with bullets.

    Holding x makes him walk faster for me. Pressing x continuously makes him run

    Shotguns are the business... or should I say scatter guns ðŸ˜.

    Anyone working on the murdwr mystery? I have two clues/maps so far.

    What to use to kill deer? Need perfect hide. Every time I get a clean kill "headshot" it goes to good hide... Using a repeater. Should I use bows with upgraded arrows?

    You use a bow with normal arrows. Aim for the neck or head to get perfect rating but not all the time though for some reason.

    Can’t put this down. Really enjoying it. Getting used to the combat now too even if aiming does feel very floaty. Found the same with GTA 5 but it’s a wee bit more less forgiven in this due to using automatic weapons half the time in GTA. The game just looks insane. Going back to other open world games will be rough for me as the worlds will feel so barren compared to this. Also actually liking Arther Morgan as a character more than John Marston surprisingly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭biggebruv


    It’s not gripping me really I just find so slow picking up items is slow , Arthur is slow , doing everything is just slow.

    I thought I would get over it but it’s still bothering me

    Doing random crimes I sort out one dude then someone witnesses that and gets cops on me about 5 of them are out on me so fast wtf

    And for all the talk of the world being so realistic and in depth I don’t find it any more in depth than say gtav or red dead 1 except every npc now give a 1 line answer but that gets old fast and it goes nowhere generally from what I’ve seen so far anyways. It has more in depth sim mechanics but that nothing new.

    The shooting is not the best feels same from gtav nothing improved
    The hand to hand combat pales in comparison to what naughty dog did with uncharted 4 and last of us for an example 2 bad guys are fighting me 1 bad guy hangs around and watches when the 1st guy goes down the 2nd comes in then to fight that’s not realistic rockstar

    The only thing outstanding for me so far has been the top notch graphics and details

    I posted a table up above of what gets perfect, what I discovered though for it to be perfect ( I needed 2 rabbits for the challenge and a rabbit and squirrel for a bounty ) is that the animal has to be 3* even before you kill it for it to be a considered a perfect one.

    A wagon came out of nowhere and took me and my horse out and I had to give him a revive for the first time, thought he was dead.

    I butchered the driver and his passengers.
