Someone please explain deadeye

[AmyStone]

I thought I understood it but it seems like there's something I'm missing. Whenever I get into a shootout with someone who has dead eye activated I never never kill them. And i mean NEVER. It's like my bullets are made of jelly. We stand there exchanging headshots and mine do nothing to them. Is there some ability cars that makes them almost impossible to kill when they have dead eye?

Well ya there's that Slow & Steady card that turns headshots into bodyshots. Every shot absorbed eats up a bit of deadeye though. However, in your case if you're not exchanging enough shots at your target and they're constantly refueling their deadeye then I guess you'll never take that target down.

If you don't understand dead eye then 99% chance you don't understand ability cards, in which case your running the standard "A moment to Recuperate" dead eye card and no passive cards. To make it really basic for the purpose of your topic (assuming your 40+ rank) you get one dead eye which benefits you ONLY WHEN dead eye is active. You also get 3 other passive cards which benefit you at all times providing the condition of the card is met (75% stamina etc). 

 

What you need to do is work out a loadout of cards that suits your play style. I.e. close quarters, long range, spray and pray etc. 

 

You should find a lot more information in this topic;

Ability Cards. There is a Dead Eye card where auto aim is disabled and you actually lose accuracy shooting at them. Another prevents you from getting a head shot so long as they themselves have a hat on. Another increases damage the closer they are to death. Add those up and...yeah. Good luck. Best advice is rank up make that money and fight fire with fire.

"Immersive and realistic experience" - says Rockstar during marketing period. Adds magic hats and bullet avoiding ability. Facepalm.

If a s&s user decides to drink a tonic while in a direct firefight, you can be sure he will die in the attempt to refuel. 

Yea, they can take few bullets, but they‘re by far not invincible.

I can't help it, lol. I really should be loving this new R* game and not mocking it, but they're making it very easy unfortunately.

 

Such a shame.
