ram_pete67 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 i also failed every single time so far. Would also like to have some tips and tricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theEwing1979 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I've not managed it. Managed to pick off a few enemies quietly but one always seems to spot me or one of the bodies. Once spotted you can just go all guns blazing and then destroy the moonshine. Is there actually any benefit or reward for doing it silently?

Surebrec Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) stealth and bow & arrows. sit in the bushes and wait. those that are together usually move away from each other. just take note of who is looking in which direction. when one is separated and looking away, a quick arrow to the head dispatches him. after that, sneak round the area doing the same. I try to leave one left who is further away from the still and looking in the opposite direction and just sneak in, poison then sneak back out. it's not too difficult if you go about it right.

Van_Hellsing Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I succeeded with a bootleg mission in the derelict fort near Van Horn. I used the bow and paint it black. If you move crouch. If the enemies pair up, wait for them to split up. After I poisened the still, I wanted to grab my bow quickly and shoot an approaching enemy. The clunky Rockstar interface made my avatar to pull out a gun. The new quick draw setting is also lost all the time. Supprisingly the poisening still counted as I was detected. I moved out of the red zone and got the full award. Rev. Gnash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krommer Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Ah, never thought of using the bow from stealth. I tried sneaking to the still, but there is usually one guy crouched right by the still. So the last one, just got near and used the bow and a dynamite arrow on the still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev. Gnash Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Creep slowly and engage with bow or blade. Make sure the guards around the still are not facing you. Poison throwing knives, work very well. Stealth NPC one (slit throat) and throw knife (headshot) NPC two. Edited December 19, 2019 by Rev.

Rockett800 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I've only ever been able to get two of the different possible locations done in full stealth, both from the Grizzlies shine shack. The old Millesani claim took the bow and patience. The low number of men and only one mobile guard helps, but it was still quite difficult. The Chez Porter shine still is out and out the simplest and fastest to stealth, though. Stop on the trail and walk through the woods towards the south of the ranch, sticking to the very far outskirts of the property. The still is in a barn with two guards, one on the upper floor watching out the loft hay doors, and one below, whittling and watching the still next to an open window. None of the other guards even face the barn, so all you have to do is creep up, sling an arrow through the window at the whittler, poison the still and leave. Stick to the wall on the outside of the barn and the guard above will never even know you were there. One kill, poisoned still, simple as that. Rev.

Ronin Ogami Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) It would help the stealth portion a LOT if they doubled the timer. WHich I'm not sure why we have them in the first place . . . . Edited January 20, 2020 by Ronin Ogami ventogt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only says, you will get bad honor for killing NPCs, thats it? Ronin Ogami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHich I'm not sue why we have them in the first place . . . . Especially since the free roam random encounter versions don't have a time limit! Without the doomsday clock on my screen I actually managed to stealth the hanging dog ranch still, killing everyone but the O'Driscoll in the hayloft only because I couldn't get a good shot on him. 18 hours ago, fryday said: but what is exactly the difference in terms of payout/rewards betwenn poisoning and destroying?

If you can poison the still and get out of there without anyone seeing you, you'll receive the full 20 dollar discount on mash, if you're seen however you have to fight your way out through revenuers (for some reason) and you get a 10 dollar discount.

liam_faye Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I've been using only throwing knives. I usually try to memorize the patrol routes of the moving enemies and pick them off when they are away from the other enemies. The patrolling enemies are most likely to come across the bodies of the stationary ones. Then, I just kill the stationary enemies who would notice me poisoning the still and leave.

BZXC32 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 most of the times i just shoot dynamite arrows and kill the survivers with guns, the difference in mash discount reward when doing stealth doenst impress me. sometimes when im in a good mood i go stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuNova Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I read somewhere that you can shoot the still with a Poison Arrow from a distance but that might have been a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STNeish Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'm not sure why people are having difficulty, I've only been spotted once doing these. If you watch the red dots on the radar, there's a slight yellow cone that reflects their line of sight. Pretty much all you have to do is stay OUT of that cone. Stay crouched and take your time. Watch the patrollers and wait for an opening when they're either walking or facing away from you. Not sure what else to suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can add that you need to see the vision cones and not kill anyone who has another enemies vision cone overlapping their red dot. Sound with the bow is not counted so you can fire an arrow into some guys head while hes stood next to his mate and it wont matter as long as he does not see him.
