Why do the player icons turn into an "eye"

I keep seeing the player icons turn into an eye on the mini map. In free roam and showdown series.  Can't find a thing on what it means.

Thanks--was wondering that too.

 

Makes sense, seeing (pun not intended) that it uses the same "Deadeye" status icon above the player weapon/item wheel. :)

Ah, so that's what that is.

 

Say, I get the feeling that dead eye is more of a handicap than help online. By the time you've sorta swiped back and forth over your target they'll have popped two in your eyeballs already.

Yeah i dont use it in PVP, but maybe with that one ability card "Slippery Bastard" it could be usefull, its the one where they cant lock on to you when in dead eye...

Slow and Steady and Slippery are common ones I'm seeing right now. I still see people with Paint It Black, even though it might not be much help.

I only use paint it black in free roam, for egrets or herons sitting in a row at the water line.

Dont use it in pvp.

Yeah, what's Paint It Black supposed to do again? I've truned the game off so I couldn't say right now. It was supposed to let you manually paint targets, right?

If so, that's not working for me anyway.

It paints automatically as you move and hover aiming reticule over it.

Yeah not really, swipe over enemy's and it will place crosses on them, you cant paint manually really with R1

Oh. Well, in that case it's working fine.

 

Also, isn't that what Dead Eye is supposed to do anyway? Seems like a waste of card to me, but it'll probably end up being the thing that I needed the most in my game...

It's gonna be good in free aim lobbies or as a counter for Slippery Bastard ability (unable to lock on player using dead eye, but he can't lock on others too)

I just got my ass WHOOPED by someone in the fog and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out and didn't wanna call him a cheater. Turns out he used dead eye a few of the times

 

Ive been using deadeye lately to upgrade the skills. Not a mechanic I'm used to, even after playing MP3 online.
