Focus Fire III + Horseman III + Landon's Patience III + Peak Condition III with Rolling Block Express Ammo is one shot. I've already tested it. clinical oppression, ALifeOfMisery and Fatsanchez 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loons should perfectly be killed with small game I believe, it then should give you 3 feathers. clinical oppression 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, a kill with the right weapon will always give you perfect quality and most yield. Example; if you shoot a rabit with a varmint it will be 3 stars even though sometimes the rabbit was just 1 or 2. That's if you haven't hit them several times or messed up the pelt for whatever reason. Btw you should try to get them small arrow kills even tho they are sometimes harder to get. If all else fails just dead eye them small birds and use some ability like paint em black, there is even an award and buckle for it as far as I know. Edit: Get higher ground on birds where they pass by "low" it is easier to get them than sitting from horseback or else. I do that with crows a lot.

In the story mission 'where your morals lead you' equip a bow and ride straight to manzanita (sp) post. There's usually an eagle, sometimes an eagle and a hawk on top of the entrance. It'll fly away as you arrive. Everytime I can, I kill it with my bow. couple eagle feathers to add a few extra dollary-doo's to my earnings. clinical oppression, Pressure Drop and IamCourtney 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...I usually spawn into this location when I select Ambarino from the menu, and spend $5 to fast travel to Van Horn or Saint Denis to hunt.

Zoop_Leroy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Can someone verify that split point ammo "uses less of your Dead Eye meter?" I've tested a full dead eye ring with a stopwatch and different ammo and they all seem to last the same (about 30 seconds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of cards I guess - probably a lot of good ones that aren't well known. Could be a glitch though, or lag. I might start playing around with different cards some time, see if there are any good ones. Apparently, Focus Fire III + Necessity Breeds III + Landon's Patience III + Peak Condition III with Springfield Express Ammo is also one shot. I only just found that yesterday. And shooting the center body mass on upper chest does more damage than shooting the head of Slow and Steady user. How did I know this? I tried the same cards above with Rolling Block Express on Slow and Steady III head and it took off around 80% to 90% HP off. But when I shot their upper chest against Slow and Steady III Dead Eye, they died instantly in one shot. So if we were using Lancaster against Slow and Steady III players, we should just shoot their chest and rapid fire spam them till they drop.

I've been using the free Thoroughbred in online since launch. Mine hasn't been skittish as such, fully bonded he'll stand his ground against a pair of wolves, but my god, the amount of noise he makes just walking around is unreal. Going as slowly as possible through the snow he brays like a mother f*cker. I'm waiting until I unlock the Tiger Striped Bay Mustang before I replace my Thoroughbred, I just hope the Mustang is quieter.

But I also have the bug where my bonding keeps saying level one, I assumed we all get that. I am waiting for the dark bay turkoman, It really was the best of both war/race for me anyway. Overall, the thoroughbred has been a good horse, and he does make a decent amount of noise so maybe I'm just confusing his fuss for being skiddish.

Yeah, I get the level one bonding bug too, I think if it's not affecting everyone it's certainly affecting a large proportion of players. I'll be getting a Turkoman myself, but I don't think I can last that extra 10 or 12 levels, compared to the Mustang, with the Thoroughbred scaring off any animals I can't snipe at long range. Mine can be skittish, a large wolf pack, cougar, bear etc and he'll buck me. But it's mostly the constant noise that's started to get on my nerves. I'm not a fan of incremental upgrades, but if anyone can recommend a horse that I can buy at level 33 that will keep quiet in the snow at walking pace I'll seriously consider buying one.

But it‘s nearly impossinle to hit them in flight cause they fly so high. But you‘ll see them sitting on the surface in calm water sometimes, that‘s when you gotta hit them.

TheShift Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The easiest way to get the buckle for shooting a bird in flight Is to just walk up to a shore line where birds are present whip out the bow..aim and you will spook them and they will take off...catch them mid launch(I recommend the swamp,some birds are bigger there) I found it really hard to just shoot one out of the sky because of arrow drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
