For the Birth of the Conservation Movement mission I've done the first few bits of it and now the marker is pointing me to an area that I can't really find out how to get to. Any hints?

Follow the river. It's a pain in the rear end, and there's no path leading to it. Going on foot works best.

Don't you also need to kill the Chupacabra too or is that not necessary? You are looking in the right place for the that horse though, but once you're eligible for it and you go to that place, you'll find it in under a minute.

Why should it be? RDR MP was marketed to be free and open, dangerous and opportunistic for player-driven conflicts. I mean the menu is right there in the beginning that allows a player to choose what he wants to play in. If you were getting your rear end kicked, you could have gone back and picked the obvious "Friendly" mode.

Yes. You don't need to beat the game to get death, though, if that's what you're getting at. You can find it just like any other apocahorse

It took me about an hour of searching last night and it never triggered any sort of alert. I was just riding along and saw a horse running around that looked a little off.

Oh well you're right there, it doesn't do the same mythical creature blue radar circle like the others, it's just in that area of the map. But since you don't get a deed for it, they pretty much consistently have it spawn there in case you need to come back and get it again.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
Do the Apocaquestrians always spawn in the same general territory? I've been looking for Famine since finding it accidentally just outside of Escalera, but I've been all over Nuevo Paraiso and I haven't seen him anywhere. I went all the way from Escalera to Torquemada and never saw an alert, and it'd be nice to have all four horses so I could have the deeds.

I lost Death once and it wasn't pretty, since I (post-end spoilers) was Zombie Marston and they give you a living horse by default. I rode that stupid thing for about a mile before I gave up, dismounted and shot it in the face point-blank with a shotgun. That'll teach it to fear the Reaper.

I just finished playing through the single player this evening and decided to try the multiplayer. What the gently caress am I supposed to do? Everywhere I spawn are other players with buffalo rifles shooting me from 100 yards away within seconds of spawning.

If you're used to expert aim I'd actually recommend the Hardcore variants of the game. You only show up on the mini-map when you sprint (tapping A), shoot or ride a horse. It's really gratifying to roll up on a few dudes trying to finish a hideout, snipe them all with your Evans Repeater and get away unscathed.

Actually, speaking of Hardcore variants I ran into something incredibly stupid a few days ago. I was playing some shootouts and noticed I wasn't seeing any of my teammates and was only running into squads of 3-4 just standing in the middle of the map killing at will. Only after did I realize that the 7 other people on my team never loving once got a kill. The worst was 0-26 and the "best" was 0-7. The sad thing is, I would have won if I didn't have any teammates. I'm not sure if they were "boosting" kills but it sure as hell felt like it, the only thing I ever saw my teammates do was TK me.

Just realized... I missed dueling in the DLC. It's not something I really thought of when I first played through, but I really do think that it would have been kinda cool to have a survivor or two blame you for the outbreak and call ya out.

Still, free roam zombie hunting it pretty fun itself :)

I thought I was all the way done with the DLC, but it says I'm only 88% finished. Do I need to get in there and do more rescue missions? That's essentially what I needed to do to get to 100% on the vanilla game.

Had a blast tonight playing with PSN Goon Darth_Brooks on Friendly Free Roam. I call it 'kidnapping' because the target players have very little control over their character during it, but we were spending the entire time trampling people and jihad-dynamiting them over and over. Hilarious.

The funniest thing is kidnapping people that are within Hunting Grounds, because between Darth and I trampling them, and them being charged/attacked by the animals, it became this vicious cycle of tumbling rear end over head and dying over and over :haw:

I'm an rear end in a top hat, I know. Friendly Mode more like Griefing Mode :shepface:

Can you still knife people in friendly? Probably not, but if I could I would totally chase people down as a (basically invincible) zombie character and cut them to pieces.

Speaking of assholes in MP, what's with all the team killing griefers on Undead Overrun now? I jumped into two different games last night and right off the bat, some dickhead starts blasting everyone with his shotgun.

The best part of this, though, is that I am a loving GOLDEN BLASPHEMOUS GOD at this game, so as soon as I saw the rear end in a top hat start griefing, I was able to open up on him with the automatic pistol, down him, taunt him over the mic ("what happened, team killing human being? can't play a baby's game and got shot by a level 4? ABLOOBLOOBLOO"), then he rage quit like a huge sack of baby poo poo.

I actually thought it was kinda fun. Hopefully I'll run into the rear end in a top hat online and we can do it again. :)

Phophorus bullets, the sniper rifle, and Jorge's Gap. You don't even need to be a good shot as one Pho bullet equals an immediate kill.

I thought I was soo clever. I cleared Rathskeller Fork, except for the last 6 or 7 zombies, then jumped down from my perch and started lassoing and hogtying until I had 5 zombies restrained. I killed the rest, then moved all the hogtied zombies next to each other, busted out the sniper and blasted all five in about 5 seconds.

Nothing. I think hogtying them already counted as "killing" them (the game considered the town clear when there were still 5 undead tied up), so my devious little plan failed miserably.

slugging the zombies with the but of the gun counts as a sniper kill? I think the guy's saying he's not going to get 100% because of the "Kill 5 zombies in 8 seconds w/ a sniper rifle" challenge.

The trick is to be as far as possible from the zombie group. If you're too close, they get agitated and will move around more.

Apparently, not only does Phosphorous Ammo help you with the last sharpshooter challenge (5 sniper kills in 8 seconds with no deadeye), it can also count for that stupid "Kill 5 burning zombies in one dead eye" challenge, perhaps my least favorite one, in parallel with "Kill one of each undead in the same dead-eye meter". I'm too far ahead to check but if someone hasn't done that yet, wait till you unlock it, and then try it out (The forum where i got this tip from alleges you have to aim for the head, but phosphorous is one-hit-kill anyway). It's a great tip for one of the few annoying challenges...if it works.
