It’s easy. If you’re close enough to Valentine, just go look around the area/path behind the stable/NPC campsite. The spot where there’s a bunch of herbs and berries. There’s always a few turkey’s there. 

As with most things, when you don’t need them, they’re all over the place but when it’s mission time, they’re nowhere to be found. I’ll keep that spot in mind

[Caffeination]

Considering how often it rains even in arid deserts and dry grasslands, the entire map should be a temperate rainforest, don’t you think?

[RyuNova]

Can I just say something that's been getting under my skin for a while?

I always see people moaning about the placement of the holsters and wanting two hip holsters like Dutch has or questioning why the second holster is in the place that it is. To the first issue, unless you think that R* will remake hundreds, possibly thousands, of animations we won't ever get different holster placement and the second holster is placed where it so that Arthur (and by extension our Online character) can get access to his satchel.

 

Secondly, the second holster is placed where it is because that's the correct place to have a second holster when riding. Its called a Cross Draw and allows the user to draw both their weapons using only the right hand thus leaving the left hand free to control the reins. Having two weapons ready to be used at a moments notice is much more efficient than reloading.

Sometimes I wish this game had some logical base in the real world... My example is when chased after collected the bounty target and you killed every last one.... How they f do they know where you are? Or when breaking line of sights when doing shoot out! if I kill someone and they are alerted they should still don´t know where I´m....

Duh. Smartphones of course!

f*cking piece of sh*t game. How do I get an actual person on the computer when making a complaint?

Yet when doing the Owlhoot Family legendary bounty, you can be shooting the F out of everyone at Benedict Point, while the enemies at the next spot (Solomon's Folly, walk distance from Benedict Point) apparently don't notice all the gunfire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

(Gameplay wise is good to not have more enemies to deal with at the same time, but still...........).

It’s Rockstar half-baked way of making the legendary bounty more “challenging”, because chugging tonics while playing a lethal game of Marco Polo with 80 angry NPCs is supposed to be fun, I guess.

 

That said, what was supposed to be a bounty that’s protected by no more than 5 individuals, the ENTIRE army is throwing itself at you. Perhaps this is Rockstar’s weird way of explaining why the Lemoyne Raiders are so pathetic in Singleplayer, otherwise it would make no sense why some irrelevant arsonist incel is so heavily guarded while their actual leader whom you hunt as Arthur is protected by no more than eight or so men.

“Catch the train “ resupply missions suck. If I wanted to gallop across half the map I’d just do it.  Using the solo lobby opportunity to hunt is much more satisfying.

The rolling block is usually a 1 hit kill with express ammo and it reloads itself.  So, yes, but really no.  

 

Add Sharpshooter and you're set.

MY GOD this not setting out your camp is getting seriously anoying the trader roll is literaly unplayable because of it D:<

[Tez2]

I hate the the difficulty scale Rockstar came up with for the current legendary bounty.

"Let's just throw an entire army at him, protecting an asshole who mean nothing for them".

At least add in a stealth approach in which you could kill all the guards which would allow you to take the bounty without facing an entire army of enemies.

The free aim vs free aim thing is kinda the point of defensive, IMO.

I suppose, but personally I feel that when you make it perfectly clear that don't wish to be drawn into their asshattery, the offender should be the only one in free aim.

If they wanna be bad boys they can learn to shoot like bad boys.

This is why I only did this one once. It was a pain in the ass the first time I did it

[Caffeination]

Note to self: If you’re in a solo session, don’t move too far from camp, or the game will try its hardest to merge you with a populated one and yeet your camp and send all wildlife into extinction. 

[RyuNova]

Just a note. If you are in Offensive Mode in Free Roam you have no right to complain when people attack/kill you randomly.

 

Unlike Passive Mode Defensive Mode stops you from doing/starting nothing PvE related so there is no reason to be out of it.

Nothing was wrong with Blackwater, Rhodes WAS a sh*tshow though. Could be killed shortly after spawn.... then again... and again.... never getting up that hill to the train station or anywhere else as every other team is gangbanging yours

 

I thought the orange team mostly got the upper hand? But yeah it was not that bad no. Very enjoyable map. Yes Rhodes was really terrible. Though still had some fun times there. Making it up the hill trying to take the barn or train station. And defending it as long as possible. 

 

I am hoping it won't take to long that these maps will be back.

For f*ck sake. Trade Route, the one freeroam event I got actual enjoyment out of, with it being 100% PvE, now gets ruined almost every time I play it by some c*nt who thinks it's hilarious to throw explosives all over the place, ragdolling players from the train and destroying crates.

 

I don't care if it's petty or futile, I report these players. Absolute c*nts.

Its why I sent a suggestion to Rockstar sometime ago that they make players immune to knock back caused by explosives during free roam events where PvP combat is supposed to be toggled off. It also happens a lot during Salvage at the start. People try to sabotage the competition by knocking them off their horses with dynamite. Going against the spirit of the competition.

Except, I was playing for MONTHS before its addition, & don't really care for all the hassle. It's a broken system anyway, & I have now been griefed as much by people in defensive as not. I'm in offensive mode because it actually allows me to respond to player threats better. About the only time I tried it was when fishing, & standing there, you're a big f***ing target anyway, seeing as I was shot not five mins in. Besides, not being in defensive mode isn't really a good reason for starting up with another player. I've been playing almost a year now & I never had a reason to shoot someone "just because they were there". FFS that mentality is beyond sympathy for me. I'm minding my business, you do you.

 

 The only real solution is private lobbies, which R* has already pretty much declared they're against.

Agreed.

The only time I'm in Offensive is when I'm doing a distant delivery and have at least 2-3 crew members by my side.

There's no reason to be in Offensive any other time, unless the game forces you to or you're actively going around shooting other players.

I will agree that people can be dicks and you should not HAVE to be in Defensive Mode but choosing not to be makes it your own fault. You should not be stabbed but walking around a shady neighbourhood with a t-shirt that says "STAB ME!" on it is asking for trouble.

Which is kind of sad, because right now with all the bugs with the camp and animals, private lobbies would actually be VERY useful.

Came on for the first time in a little over a month. Go to do kidnapping stranger mission. Kill off the escorts, hogtie the target, on the way to the drop off.....disconnected. Didn't bother going back on don't know when I will. Very sad.

It shouldn't´t be a reason to pick a fight with someone... Hope we get a creator soon so we can have more custom jobs and only play with friends....

Friend or crew lobbys should exist or at least smaller sessions with <12 players!

[Boozey St John]

I was playing Day Of Reckoning or Manhunt, (can't remember which FR event. But it was the one where certain bounties are worth a certain amount of points) anyways, I was hogtying a bounty and some asshole comes over and shoots my bounty, lowering it's value. 

 

So I chased that f*cker the rest of the match and shot every bounty he picked up. I STILL WON!

Rockstar needs to seriously relax on the lobby merging until they figure out how to fix the camp spawns. Every time my lobby number gets low, I get merged and boom...no more camp.

Theoretically, there's a huge climate change going on. By 1911 the entire new section of the map, with the exception of southern Lemoyne should be covered in snow. That's going by the top third of Tall Tress being snow covered in RDR.
