Ring Dang Do Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 2nd time doing Rich Pickings I got caught which involved killing a lot of police which in turn brought my bounty over $5 so when the mission was over a player 'Bounty Hunter' tracked me down and killed me. Just thought it was interesting to overlap the 2 as I never randomly shoot up npcs so never get in a situation to have a bounty. I like how the mission has a consequence depending on how you complete it. Krommer, aaronBLUEeyes, eejyool and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcole4001 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) One White Horse Deal on standard gave me 0.24 gold, not a hard mission. I just got up on the roof of a low barn and tried to stealth it with the bow...didn't work of course, but I'll try again. I tried to do another about 2 hours later and they were greyed out and said I couldn't start another.

And a broken one at that. like I said I tried to start a second one after about 2 hours and it wouldn't let me. I gonna try again in a bit to see what happens. I'm assuming that the three missions are going to reset to a new batch of three each week, most likely since they're specifically mention in the newswire post so they couldn't be reset each day. If they're got a stable of 12-15 of these ready to go that will keep things interesting and the missions won't feel too tired. Anything less will get repetitious too fast. Here's hoping!

*Lola Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I played all three difficulties on the first wagon mission. I died on ruthless and started again from the last checkpoint. Not gold friendly, .08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcole4001 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) OK, I found out you can't start the missions from horseback.... Great logic there. I only got 0.16 for the escort mission. Had no deaths, so no idea why the reduced payout. Not hard on standard, just guzzle a tonic when needed and blammo with the semi-auto shotgun & Winning Streak. I messed up the Mayor's mission stealth: threw my ancient tomahawk, picked it up and then tried to use it again but as it switches the weapons after you run out (because there's only 1 ancient tomahawk) I had my repeater equipped. Still made it out of town anyway, though the coppers were swarming the joint and my weapon loadout wasn't setup to deal with them effectively, since I was planning on doing it stealthily. Next time. edit: DOH! I need more sleep, didn't read the payouts listed above fully, 0.16G is the normal payout.

I am not a stealth type player, my guy is heavy handed and we tend to mess up those kinds of jobs... a lot. I'm pretty sure it can be done quietly. I botched it due to being clumsy with the controls/weapon wheel fiasco. For what it's worth, I've found the tomahawks are stealthier than the bow for some reason. Doing hideouts I get far more stealth kills with them than with the bow before guards are alerted. Forgot to add: I think the best way to get away with the horse is calm it while hitting 'stop', keeps him from jumping the fence until you break him, that way you don't get thrown. It might be possible to stealth this one, but unlikely. I think the payout for the wagon should have been higher, maybe lower the horse mission, I went through 4 or 5 health tonics on the wagon & the NPCs throw dynamite and fire bottles. The best thing about the new missions: no timers! That means you can do approach them however you want.
