Always been 15 for the kill and 15 to skin.  I don’t think we get a special ammo xp bonus with animals though

No, but you do get 5XP for dead eye.

[IamCourtney]

Do you get another 5 if you skin them with dead eye active?

[BUT THE BENZ]

I don't think  you're able to skin while dead eye/eagle eye is activated?!

yesterday I found out that you can reset awards 10 (X) times and then you're set. was doing the trade award thing, selling herbs in valentine for quite some time, in total it got me 2 goldbars and 250 dollars.

Now you can spend that 250 dollars on dynamite and do the explosion hunting award. That one's even easier.

[BUT THE BENZ]

I don't even know about all the awards there are, blow sh*t up and get gold/cash for it sounds intriguing though

Its really easy. Just blow up fish and you'll get gold.

Well here's something I just found out. The game limits your daily lootables not per account, but per your console. This means that if you have multiple accounts on your console (wife, kids, etc.), you're limited to any given lootable only once per day for all of those accounts.

 

Looks like I'll have to pick one (and only one) character to play, unfortunately. And I'll be competing with the wife for the lootables! Good thing she doesn't play the game as much as I do.

 

Nice going, R*...you guys just made damn sure you won't be selling any gold bars to my other characters lol. Oh well, I don't really have time to play all of 'em anyway.

 

Problem is, I'm so attached to all of 'em it's hard for me to decide which one I'm going to stick with! I'll have to think long and hard on this one.

Did you know if you buy Pomade you will have a different haircut?

 

Yeah! you can try that wild chop, with pomade you can get the EPIC kieran's (look a like) hair! that hair looks really cool and also if you are looking a more like Red Harlow's spiky-all-back-hair the "Kieran's hair" will solve that problem.

I tried pomade with my female character yesterday. Hairstyle didn't look different. What you on about?

I don't think pomade works for female characters. I've tried it and I never saw any difference.

What do you mean by daily lootables?

Stuff you find in houses sitting on dressers or in drawers, like tonics, jewelry and food items.

[Foxwolfe]

Did they change it recently? Because previously it was based on server/lobby, as in loot a house, go into pause menu and pick free roam to load into another lobby and then loot the same items again.

Yep, can't do that anymore.

[Foxwolfe]

Yeah I just saw another thread about it, gotta be kidding me lol.

Not only that, but if you have other members of your family with accounts playing the same game on your console, stuff you looted will be gone in their game too.

[Foxwolfe]

That's nuts, I could somewhat at least understand a restriction on the respawn rate for lootables (hell even as a thought experiment an hour seems way high as it is) even if I didn't agree with it but having it be tied to your console and on such a huge timer.

 

That's insane, there's no way I can't believe that's not a bug, cause if it is intended then holy sh*t lol. Talk about an overreaction.

Tonight I was able to browse the catalog on horseback. Couldn't do that before the patch.

I don’t ever remember seeing the hot springs erupt in Cotorra Springs before, until very recently. 

 

Oh, and you die if you jump in. Which is nice.

Definitely intended, Take 2 pushing R* for more profit so R* stop us getting freebies more than once forcing us down the purchase route

No no, the ponds are safe. I meant the spouting geysers. Make sure you go to the right ones though, because the other Spouting Geyser is an...ahem...adult establishment.

That is F'N' low.  Wow , what scumbags.

[Rafae S]

Stranger missions give you more gold, money and XP the longer you take. Genuinely didn't know that lmao. Also didn't know you could sell herbs

 

Picking herbs and hunting animals in a stranger mission and then completing the stranger mission with two minutes remaining >>>>>>>>

[Ryan5252]

You can activate dead-eye unarmed. Didn't know that!

[hotrats773]

A major "duh" for me today. At the title screen where it says Enter Free Roam, it mentions "take up where you left off." So a few times today I left a session while still in my camp. Sure enough, choosing Free Roam loaded me back right next to my camp. As much as this game can piss me off, that was a nice find.

Auto-aim stops working when your character is drunk.

Lol that's how I realized. I can be running unarmed and pop in and out of slippery as needed rather than aiming rifle then activating dead eye.
