You cannot set up camp when your follower is dead.

 

Dafuq does that mean?

Is there an experience difference in short deliveries vs long runs, or is it solely a money difference? And does time the mission takes play a role in the experience payout has well?

Can I fill my Hunting Wagon with animals one day, join my friends Posse another day and deposit the animals at his Butchers Table?

Yes

Cool, my friend only comes on now and again and would rather Bounty Hunt than Hunt so this will be useful to get him to make money.

Not sure about XP, but it's 25% more money for a long run, and you can be attacked. As far as time, you want to do it as quick as possible. You risk the chance that the buyers could be killed, if there's enemies.

Thanks. 

 

Getting attacked by players is what I'm worried about. I'm mostly grinding for experience so I can rank up. So I'd rather do the risk free one, but not if it gives me significantly less experience than the longer version. 

 

I don't care about the payout much. It's like a $10 difference.

Money difference depends on the amount of units sold. When selling 25 units, the difference between local-remote is peanuts. When selling 50, the difference increases. And the difference when selling 100 units is $500 to $625, already noticeable.

You can also be attacked by players on local deliveries, If they find a delivery area set to receive you they can free aim at you and cause mayhem to slow down you dismissing the enemy npc's. You wont show up on the map and if you ride your wagon strait in and deal with npc without PVPers hitting or hindering you all should be good

 

Its happened to our posse twice now whilst doing local delivery in Defense mode we still managed our sale as one of our posse kept the pvper busy whilst the rest dealt with npc's

 

Its got to be pure look that a player finds your delivery spot as said you dont show on map and they can only free aim

Again, I don't care about money though. My main interest is rank level at that moment. 

 

Does a longer distance delivery five more experience points than a shorter distance one?

Aaaand 20 here too.

Last role done. This was not easy with the extinction bug. The Hunting Wagon did make it easier though, just pull it out whenever animals were there, kill them and load up the wagon, despawn it and move on.

The deliveries are kind of fun though, had 1 where I decided to take a shortcut across the bridge af Flatneck Station, hoping the train wouldn't make a surprise appearance*SPOILER* It did. I got off the bridge just in time... Well almost, I lost a wheel, but it didn't destroy the wagon and I was able to limb to the delivery point for my 500 dollars

 

Anyway, glad I don't have to worry about level it up anymore..

How many hours did it take for you to reach rank 20 x3?

Don't know, I'm not really much of a grinder. I just did some stuff when I wanted, mostly focusing on the collector because I wanted to buy stuff and that brings in a lot of money and XP when you start handing in collections.

The Legendary bounty brings in a lot of XP too, and with the Solo Bounty Hunter lobby being fixed XP and money wise, that is also pretty fast to level up.

As for the trader, prepare to not be able to do a damned thing for hours because the lobbies are all above 17 players and therefor, no animals spawn, which means no goods.

It is why it took me so long to level it up, the animal extinction bug was really annoying, and sometimes when there were animals, I just didn't feel like hunting.

 

It gets easier after you get the Hunting Wagon, because you can just kill a few things, throw it on the wagon, despawn it and move on. The carcasses + pelts save on the wagon, so you can just kill a few animals when they finally spawn and then move on with what you were doing.

 

And then there is the whole Camp not spawning BS which doesn't help either.

 

So in short, Collector can be done in a few days and Bounty Hunter can be done in a week or so(Faster depending on how much time you have to play). Trader, weeks if you are unlucky.

Just recently had a damn bug with a full wagon delivery! The wagon hit a small rock or something and the horses got disconnected from the wagon, but the bags the wagon drops when it’s destroyed went through the map, so even though I had all four bags showing on the map, I couldn’t pick them up!

 

Was nearly at the delivery drop off to! I would contact Rockstsr, but doubt they will do much and blame me for the horses falling into a damn small rock that I couldn’t event see!

I believe you have to pay to revive Cripps. Some-one or something killed him.

Did they change a few things? I've not been dumped in a solo session while doing a delivery this evening. Done 3 of them and all went well, camp stayed up. I also noticed that picking up a dead animal doesn't smear your clothes with blood anymore. Only your hands get bloody sometimes, but not always. Think they might have toned down on graphics to keep the game running smoother and make you do sales in the lobby you are in at that moment, just to keep the camp from despawning? If so, I don't think I mind much.

Nah, I got really smeared today after picking some carcasses, as well as the back of my horse. Maybe some outfits stay clean more than others.

and I had to set up camp again after a sell mission and a resupply mission 10 minutes after the sell, so no change for me

I don't get smeared with a coat on or bare chested. Nor does my horse get smears when I stow a carcass on it. I've also noticed that rain looks nothing like 4K HDR rain at all. Checked my settings, but I see nothing wrong. Weird stuff....

I've noticed a lack of blood smearing lately but I figured it was because I pretty much never pick up a skinned carcass anymore, my kills either stay intact for Cripps or if skinned I only stow the pelt and leave the carcass behind.

After filling up the hunter wagon, I often pick up the last skinned 3* buck carcass and store it on my horse to sell to the butcher, before donating the contents of the wagon to hooplehead Cripps. I use the butcher to inform me about my character's weight. If the butcher says he looks hungry, I know he's about 6% underweight, without having to check the menu. It's sheer laziness 😂

I've been Maximum Overweight for ages and I've gotten used to the constant stream of tuba notes that play whenever I move around.

Just quickly:

 

Surely, unless you are running some pretty specific ability card builds, the benefits from damage reduction far exceed the benefits from stamina reduction, right?

Still love being a trader, hunting and donating to camp was one of my favourite things in the story mode leading up to chapter 5; so having this as a passive business is fun without It feeling forced.

 

Got a ridiculous amount of $ right now, is the large delivery wagon worth investing In?
