Grab a stagecoach/wagon and park it by the cabin. They can't touch you in the driver or shotgun passenger positions.

You guys probably know this, but you can get an invisible RPG in this game, works with both dynamite and molly's.

Just equip your dynamite or molotov, and go into dead-eye. Look at your target, and mash the target button to get the red X on it. Works well over distances, and will explode on impact.

Looks like public co-op is messed up right now, I've been trying to get in for ages and no luck. But private co-op should still work.

Thanks for cougar tips, got my game 100% finished now... funnily enough the bear one was easier since I had two of them chase me into a posse of NPCs on horses and while there was a brawl going on I just rode up and knifed on in the back. Now I've just got to hunt down that elusive last buffalo and find a seagull for Unnatural Selection and I'll be about done with the single player game.

I rode up to Ross at the end and with his wife hogtied to the back of my horse. I pulled out my pistol and shot her in the head while she was still on the horse, then as her body slumped into the bushes Jack calmly dismounts, walks up to Ross, they have their chat and then Jack puts 4 bullets through Ross' crotch, 1 in his heart, and one right between his eyes. Spared the brother though.

Get the seagull in Blackwater down by the water... The last Buffalo took me some time, I rode around and did stuff for in-game days until it finally showed itself again.

I just played a grab the bag match against a full posse of Spanish-speaking people with mics, but my team was the Rebeldes and the people speaking Spanish were the American Army so it was one of the most confusing games I've ever played online.

Hey you know what sucks? The last battle automatically places you in Dead Eye without any warning so if you hit the Dead Eye button like you think you should to take those bastards down you EXIT dead eye and don't get to shoot ANY of them, instead being turned into mincemeat like a big pussy.

If all you need is the Gentleman's Attire, why don't you just go ahead and sign up for the Rockstar Games Social Club to get it? That's all it is, a bonus for joining the Social Club, which also unlocks various challenges you can do in-game that give you special cheat codes.

...I'm not a shill for Rockstar, it just unlocks some cool stuff.

I've been signed up since GTA 4 came out on PC, it's just never unlocked for me at any point regardless of what I've done. I've been told I need to start a new game to get it which is bullshit.

That is the right paw of a black bear (kinda tiny compared to a grizzly). It is amazingly similar to a humans right hand.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Does anyone know the best way to do the free roam sharpshooter challenge of "hat shot + disarm within 3 seconds" Does it always have to be in that order? And is it only on enemy types? I swear I was in Plainview and pointed my gun at a dude to get him to draw, shot his hat and then his hand and I got poo poo for it.

Use a shotgun from far away. I always get hat shots and disarms at the same time while using the auto-shotty at mid-range.

I'm both glad and disappointed that I can't blast bears into bits in this game. On one hand, it's good that you don't get gratuitous violence where you don't need it or where it might not be appropriate; on the other, that loving bear just killed my third American Standardbred, I want to shoot his loving head off and kick it into the river.

I seem to recall hearing that if you draw blood it doesn't count and you _have_ to nail the gun, not the gun hand.

Like Kly said, try using a shotgun. I completed that challenge while blindly firing away with the semi-auto shotgun at a large group of Bollard gang members in Pike's Basin.

Easier in Gaptooth Breach IMO, when they come out of the building you have to push the cart through (before you get the cart there, 7 or 8 will come running out). Blast away with the semi-auto shotgun and you're set

I'm watching my roommate play RDR right now.

He was tying up a dude that robbed a shopkeeper in Chuparosa next to the cliff just west of town. Right as he starts tying the guy up a posse of Federales rides in to collect on his bounty, one jumps off of his horse but his horse keeps going. Right as he finishes tying up the criminal he gets spearheaded by the horse in full gallop and gets launched off of the cliff onto the train tracks where he narrowly escapes an oncoming train.

I think I'm screwed. I'm at 99.5% completion. I've done absolutely everything except a few bounties.

However, I will never be able to get 100% completion because the Aztec Gold stranger mission seems to have glitched.

I found him in the canyon. I found each piece of his map. I then met him at the cave and we ran in. We found where his gold was supposed to be, and I watched a scene where he broke down in frustration over the gold not being there.

But for some reason the mission never said it was complete. It's just stuck. It's still listed in my journal as incomplete.

And I really wanted that FBI uniform. :smith:

There's no him left to shoot. The cave is empty. I thought I had finished the mission, so I left. It was only later, after I saved, that I noticed the mission was never completed officially.

After he doesn't find the gold you get ambushed, I think, and then you have to walk out of the cave up to the rear of that house. Try walking around there to see if maybe you can trigger the end of the mission.

Just walked through the entire area, back and forth, every bit of the cave explored, through the whole little town, shot everyone in town out of frustration. Nothing.

More fun adventures in Tall Trees:

I'm just strolling through, not really doing anything but I see a bear. So I shoot it, kill it, and I skin it. And as the long rear end skinning anitmation takes place, I notice there is now a bear directly behind John and I can do nothing about.

So here I am, yelling at my TV "poo poo John! Get it together man!" and right after it finishes I immediate go into deadeye and start firing wildly as there is a bear pretty much on top off me. And sure enough that bear dies and I'm just about to push Y, when I stop and think "y'know there is probably another bear behind me." So I turn around, but I was wrong. There were 3 bears behind me, plus a 4th off in the distance but charging straight at me.

I've been playing video games for a long time now, and honestly I think Tall Trees might be the scariest area of any video game I can remember.

Replays don't add to the statistics, sorry.

The best place I found was El Matador, with the roof-mounted Browning gun. Load up Multi-player, go there, and the start shooting cops. The gun is able to nail almost anything along the most likely spawn routes.
