This. loving. GAME! Recently got back into it after my at-launch initial very leisurely and thorough campaign completion as a goody-two-shoes. Had good inherent replay value anyways, but my bonus code didn't work at launch, so running through the game again for the hell of it using Golden Guns (only!!) and Deadly Assassin with Expert Aim and No Hud as a broke rear end Desperado getting ripped off in the towns and fighting off Bounty Hunters and Lawmen + Special Forces at least twice a day, day in and day out on horseback while maintaining a $10,000+ bounty and being a vagabond is loving awesome. Waking up in the middle of the night because a posse of bounty hunters with a pack of dogs are cresting the hill is goddamn  And that's just the vanilla game.

Tough to say. Most stuff comes out around 3AM PST at the earliest on Live but this isn't an arcade title or anything so it could be later in the day. Wanna hunt those jackalopes...

I'll try the suggestions. It might still be fun to get a larger group together. With four players working together I had flashbacks to Call of Duty:UO.

I've been checking out the requirements for each new outfit on the Red Dead Wikia. Considering that the suits require completion of a few Stranger missions, what does this mean if you've already got 100% completion? And where the hell would you find snakes? I'm sure I've killed eight over the course of the game, but I doubt that counts.

I don't think I've ever seen any in Tall Trees, but otherwise they should be around. Walk around until you hear a hiss and/or your horse gets all freaked out, and look around. Likely, there'll be one near by. Also I finally got the grizzly knifing thing done. Thanks for the tips. With the exception of the first bear literally shoving his head in the path of the buffalo gun shot, I didn't have much trouble. Goons to the rescue! Now tell me how to do the disarm thing. I had 5 at one point on a bounty, but the last shot killed the target before I could disarm him again.  Haven't been able to even come close since that because Marsten keeps reloading if I slip out of aim for even a tenth of a second.

I see a lot of really clever strategies for killing the bear with the knife. I guess I guess I never gave it much thought and used my observational skills. The bear comes at you and takes a swipe and then walks off for a few seconds before circling around for another pass. So you let the bear come head to head with you and then you dodge the claw at the last moment and you've got a good three or four swipes at his rear end with the knife before he even begins to turn around to have another go at you. When little boy Jack went up to Nekoti rock to hunt the bear and I had to rescue him, I killed the bear with only the knife just to show Jack what a little bitch he was.

I discovered that shots taken during dead-eye did not decrement my ammo. So I used the Modest Mauser and killed however many guys I had to and still had like 19 or 18 shots left even without reloading. So I guess you could use just about any gun in that case. Just bring lots of dead-eye refiller. EDIT: On second thought, we might not be talking about the same thing.

Knifing bears from on horseback is probably the easiest way although it does take a little while unless you weaken him up with a couple shots first.

The problem is that you instantly reload when you enter dead-eye. Here's how I did it. Get the Mauser Pistol. Go to a safe spot and unload your ammo until you have exactly one magazine of ammo left. That way you will never auto-reload, even when entering dead-eye. Shots in Dead-Eye do count. So use it.

Ok, this is a pretty stupid question and I looked through the RDR Wiki with no results; is there any point to picking flowers other than the flower relevant missions or to sell? I thought the help mentioned picking them made your horse more loyal or something.

I thought the help mentioned picking them made your horse more loyal or something. Pretty much just for selling. Not going to get you nearly as much as hunting though. Also, once you've reached master survivalist, when you pick flowers you get a tonic with each flower you pick, that recharges dead-eye. So that's useful.

Just use the Carcano sniper rifle, it makes it far easier to actually hit the gun and it still counts towards progression in Dead-Eye.

No. Picking them will get you the journal side quests, which will make it so you're able to make medicine out of them, and you can sell them. That's it.

Had an amusing occurrence while roaming and hunting yesterday. I was up on a plateaued area admiring the view when a cougar swipes my horse. I fall off and start to tumble down the mountainside. Meanwhile the cougar wants to finish the job. It follows me down the mountain swiping just out of reach of my ragdoll body. When I hit the ground, I have full health. I turned around to attack when the cougar takes its last few steps down the slope and breaks its neck. John: Take that you son of a bitch Edit: Also, my horse was facing a lake when I mounted it. As soon as I hit the saddle, it jumped into the lake BAM! DEAD I couldn't stop laughing because everything was just fine and then my grizzled Marston was murdered in one second by water.

Well, I'm well on my way to killing snakes. Sepulcro and Great Plains have a few and it helps if it's midday when it happens. No problems there. And outside of trying to kill a cougar with dynamite (who the hell am I going to do that??), all I need to do is win $1000 in gambling. I currently stand at $88 thanks to my losses. But bright side? I finally learned how to use the Elegant Suit cheat. Hell yeah.

Just ride your horse around and listen for the rattles. Any that you already killed before the DLC count toward your total; the first one I popped gave me the requirement so I must have had 7 already. A good spot for the cougar is the easternmost road just a little bit outside of Blackwater, where it makes an 'S'. There's a little hill that slopes down toward the water and it's very flat so you can often see the cougar in the low grass before he sees you. Have the dynamite ready, activate Deadeye when you spot him, target him with RB (or whatever the PS3 equivalent is; R1?) and fire. It'll heat-seek his rear end for an easy long distance kill. As for execution kills, those are the ones where you run up to a guy with a weapon for a cinematic - pistol in the gut, shotgun under the jaw, etc.

The suits aren't too good, except for the Legend of the Apocalypse outfit, which looks badass. It also looks like something a western pimp in the late 19th century would wear. I mean, just look at that loving hat.

You also need flowers for at least 2 different Stranger missions. And deadeye automatically reloads when you exit and doesn't count as a real reload, making it incredibly easy to finish the disarming challenge. Just hide in a room, get a bounty, and disarm whoever comes in with deadeye.

Just bring lots of dead-eye refiller. Whenever you enter Dead Eye your weapon is instantly reloaded. It's really useful knowing this while trying to do that challenge for obvious reasons. Oh and I was able to drink Moonshine (fills Dead Eye and gives you unlimited for a short time) and still have my weapon "un-holstered" I think I just held down the left trigger. It's useful in multiplayer as well. I play Hardcore Gang Shootouts because I'm a dork and good at shooters and it's a stupidly easy tactic to out gun people with. Just spam the poo poo out of whatever fast-firing semi-auto you're using and tap Dead Eye in and then out really fast and your gun is magically reloaded. If you're decent on the trigger Chuparosa (Mauser/Semi-Auto), Las Hermanas (Double Action Revolver) and MacFarlane's Ranch (High-Powered) are pretty much instant wins unless your team is that bad. Oh and by the way, the Mauser fires more quickly if you tap fire it instead of holding down the trigger.  Really excited for Undead Nightmare by the way.
