Maybe you should consider stop playing video games then... or take your meds.

Thank you for this completely pointless unsolicited advice Jan

Stop using the awful cover system that rockstar won’t stop using in every single game they’ve ever made in the last 17 years. You can just achieve a 100x better effect by crouching in first person and headglitching over cover or strafing in and out of the sides.

 

Well it works most on flat building surfaces or covered fences, but any irregular shapes is a mess. That Legendary Bounty with the tower and snipers was really annoying to complete because of that.

An another ooooone. The f*ck is up with aiming at birds and not hitting despite the reticule being small lately?

This is the main reason why I don't replay them. 

 

If we could choose the difficulty, I'd probably go for 3* most of the time, it's a decent level of balance, more enemies with more health but with minimap blips still on. 

 

I wouldn't be playing them for the payout, I'd be playing them to add variety to my gameplay loop and I wouldn't necessarily want to be playing on 5*, no radar, bullet sponge difficulty every single time. That would be cool as part of a group from here, it would be masochism on an unenjoyable level with low level randoms or by myself.

 

I don't understand R*s choice to allow players less choice in their gameplay. No one is going to grind these on easy difficulty levels for the payout, and if anyone did it would be far from the most effective grind.

Because they stated in a recent interview "people don't actually want what they think they want"--big daddy Rockstar knows what you want and will force feed it to you because you actually don't know what you want.

No, not just you. Varmint rifle, small game arrows, sometimes they just don't want to get hit.

I have worse luck with ducks than small birds like cardinals! 

[No Homing]

Thanks for the useless free treasure map R*. I forgot about it when I retrieved my items from the post, and I now I have the same map twice.

So when I use one, the other will disappear.

 

How about fixing this sh*t before handing out free useless sh*t.

Can't speak for the bow, but if it's red, it's dead with the Varmint rifle. At least for me any way.

New role is Trader 2.0 - right down to needing to have made enough progress in the original Trader stuff to unlock it. Okay...

 

They've mentioned Lawman as a possible extension of Bounty Hunter further down the line, so I'm imagining that the next two updates will be that, and whatever Collector 2.0 is - but that means that if you aren't a Trader, then you're going to have to wait maybe 4-6 months for a substantive update to your RDO experience.

 

...of course, that's obviously not how R* wants players to roll - they clearly mean for all players to do everything, just like GTAO businesses. But then, what's the point in letting players ostensibly "roleplay" with "specialist" roles, when everyone's role is exactly the same, and no-one gets to specialise at anything?

 

 

Hopefully there's going to be enough interesting non-Moonshiner stuff as well (new revolver, at least - guessing that'll be a Colt 1851), but it's all looking a bit too much like the GTAO 'everyone's the exact same tycoon as everyone else' problem all over again - doesn't fill me with confidence about the future of RDO, or the next version of GTAO, or R*'s approach to online games beyond that.

 

 

...oh, and like with nightclubs, I really, really hope this doesn't mean that the only way to have a homestead is as a Moonshiner - and it'll only ever be the cosmetic front for a speakeasy underneath. Can't we just have nice things, for the sake of just having nice things?

That sounded almost like mine loadout! I usually got two sawed off and rifle/bow!

Will we be able to visit another players bar? or will it be invite/friend/posse members only?

 

I’m assuming it won’t be open to all players. Why? Because of GTA Online’s property design. I’m guessing this will work the same way?

Ascending to the sky, "walking" on water, coming back from death. Jesus was a mod menu using Broomstick Boi for sure.

Last night after I finally get my camp to spawn (22 players in session as usual), it's right on top of one of the camp sites where you free the lawman tied to a tree.

A few minutes later, while still fiddling about in my camp, I get a camp raid, which I successfully defend, then the game tells me "you can no longer be in defensive mode due to aggressive actions".

... for defending my camp???!!?!

 

And then the stranger mission to rescue the lawman starts a couple of minutes later.

 

They certainly haven't fixed the camp spawning issues yet. 

At least I got to loot a bunch of NPCs....

There were a group of 4 or 5 NPCs, one of which was carrying a supply sack.

I shot the dude with the sack first, finished off the rest, there was another wave, killed them and that was it.

Mission passed, then it put me as offensive for a while. I eventually went defensive again, probably half an hour or so, maybe a full game day of 48 minutes, I didn't keep track.

F-ing play bounties on PC not working -.-
 I have tried several times now.
I have a bounty on me over 20USD, my mate is lvl 20 bounty hunter, with the lisence ofc. One time he got the inv for the bountyevent when i got close, but the mission never started, and next time i logged in my bounty was just reset to 0.
Now he dosent even get the event inv when i come close with a 20USD bounty. 
Why is this not working? Is it only bugging for us or do others have the same problem?

For the love of all that is holy can someone respond to this?! I have tried to post this 5 different places on the forums!! I cant be the only one on PC who is having an issuse with this -.-

I know this is a known problem but I'm trying to rank up in the Trader Role. I've tried moving camp to all of my favorite hunting spots and still can't get animals to spawn consistently. It's like wherever my camp is the animals die. How do I progress the Trader Role??

Sell with friend/randoms, do Trade Route. As soon as you can buy the hunting wagon.

Set up camp far away from where you spawn. Check the dailies. If you need to pick alaskan ginseng for example, choose to start in Ambarino, then ask Cripps to set the camp in Scarlett Meadows. If it works, do some hunting and collecting on your way there. Try to do the Trader dailies for xp points. When you see a squirrel or crows kill them but don't sell them or give them to Cripps if it's not a daily objective. You'll need those small carcasses for later. Do only local deliveries, at least until you reach rank 20. Keep teeth to sell them as part of daily objectives. Well that's it. Good luck. 

 

(And set up camp from the weapon wheel, not the menu. It seems to work better and you don't stay stuck in the menu. Also create a persistant posse and reform it as soon as you spawn.) 

 

One last thing: level up collector (or is it bounty hunter ?) role for eagle eye plus. Really useful for tracking animals while on the way to your camp. And come back here to let us know if all those tricks worked for you.

100% exactly. This is because they want roleplaying in that Rockstar plays one role, and then T2 plays another for shareholders.

Here is my dynamite Big Valley trader-grinding strategy:

 

 

• You want to set up camp in Big Valley, which is the pound-for-pound best hunting location in the game.
• Fast-travel to Strawberry, ride up to the red star.
• Try to set up camp at this red star. You should get a camp spot (blue dot) closest to that red star (assuming that the closest spot isn't already taken). The four blue dots next to the red star are the best camp locations for this strategy.
• Patrol the flat grasslands, parallel and south of the creek, looking for animals.  The adjacent mountains are also very fertile with high-value animals.  If you have a hunting wagon, the grasslands are a good place to use it.
• IF YOU CAN'T SPAWN A CAMP, go start the stranger mission directly east of the ranch (gold dot). When the stranger mission starts, ride back to the red star and try to set up camp. This usually works 100% of the time.
• Because you can't see your camp during a stranger mission, scout around Big Valley to find it. I'm pretty sure that I've identified all of the Big Valley camp locations adjacent to the ranch.
• As an added bonus, starting a mission (bounty/stranger/etc.) typically jump-starts the animal spawns, so you should be flush with hunting opportunities when you ride back from the stranger mission.
