Question about one of the random encounters and the high power pistol in Undead Nightmare: I read that you can only get the high power from the random encounter with the doctor who has a gatling gun. I found him early on and didn't accept his side mission and now I can't find him again.  Does he have a set spot for his camp? If so, where is it? The wiki didn't mention if he did or not and I want to roll with the high power.

davebo posted:Originally there were 5 DLC packs planned, the first of course being the co-op add on that came shortly after release. The others were Legends and Killers, Liars and Cheats, Free Roam, and Undead Nightmare. The free roam stuff just ended up being integrated into Liars and Cheats mainly, and the friendly free roam mode came in an update. So yeah, as with GTA4 the plans are in place long before the game comes out, and I'd say they've stuck to and fulfilled their plan pretty well at this point. I'd like to think they're working on the next big thing now, because as much as I enjoy DLC, I'll enjoy a whole new game even more. Not only that but a lot of stuff was released for free. Free Roam Pack was meshed into Liars & Cheats because, according to them, 'Microsoft limits us to how many free things we can have,' then Hunting & Trading was a free update along with a title update that unlocked the Multiplayer Marshal skins. So, they have put out a lot of stuff for the game. Honestly, it's been a wonderful year that has kept the game remarkably fresh and exciting for the most part. If this is it for the game and its DLCs, at least we've gotten a lot. Such a shame it has to end, however. But such is life. Still, I wonder if LA Noire is going to scratch the itch I'm having for more Rockstar Goodness.

I borrowed this game from a friend and was wondering what kind of play is the most fun? I now have a 1000$ dollar bounty on my head and complete negative honor but I'm not sure if i'm missing out on a lot by being a killer and what not, is there a consensus here as to which style of character is better suited for the game?

I played as honorable all the way until the very last mission of the game, where I became a total rear end in a top hat highwayman. It seemed like the most fitting way to play it, due to the storyline.

Really you should just play however you think your John Marston would act. I will say that the game's cutscenes overall make him out to be pretty honorable, at least to some degree, and also if you play as a total scumbag the game is actually a lot harder, simply because of an item you get for being a good guy. You also get the best looking outfit in the game (at least I thought so) at the halfway point of good honor. Jack's not allowed to wear pa's Duster Coat. He ain't earnt it, and that boy has fallen far from the tree.

Real Bad Dudes(tm) also get a completely unique horse-o-doom with average Two Star stats.Being a goodie two-shoes earns you a classy brown duster though, so I recommend at least getting that before you go darkheart. Extreme positive honor also gets super discounts at every merchant except Thieves Landing, who'll think you're some kind of righteous homosexual jew [sic] and will economically gouge your eyeballs out. Edit: Oh yeah, and Good gets you access to that item ^ he's talking about. Personally, I consider that negligible, but it's a perk nonetheless.

Ok so the DLC for Undead NIghtmare is awesome. This is what DLC should be. I am glad I bought it, simply because there is so much garbage out there that I have little faith in DLC any more. Companies please take note because this is pure awesome. With that said, holy poo poo how the hell can I stop the massive amounts of Zombies coming at me from the ground when I need to burn the caskets? (This is so early in the game that I shouldn't need to spoiler this) I am at the 3rd most church/grave yard on the west part of the map. I burn all the caskets, and a horde of zombies just keep coming at me. As soon as I dead eye whatever I can, I am faced with 10 more... It never stops. Any tips? If I go into the church there is a door on the side and in front so I cannot Kung Fu corner fight it either

I don't know if this is considered being a lazy cheat or not, but someone mentioned it earlier in the thread and I cheesed my way through a lot of sticky situations. Use deadeye then instead of hitting R1 on a bunch of heads, just go to one zombies head and fire with R2. If you don't take too long it won't deplete your deadeye meter so once you fire just hit R3 and do it again and again and again.

Or you can just put your aiming on casual in which case you auto-snap to the heads of the zombies when you press L2 anyway, so you just keep tapping L2 and then R2 and can mow down entire lines of zombies about as quickly as you would have in Dead Eye, anyway.

Another tip, make sure to kill ALL the zombies after you burn the casket. They won't continue to spawn, and you will have a whole 'nother crowd of em to deal with when you light it up. It's what saved my rear end a lot of times when I was clearing graveyards.

I've found that if you just burn the first casket and sprint around the graveyard burning the rest of them before you even fire a shot, you'll burn all the caskets before any zombies even get near you. Then you can just stand back and pick them off, or circle around outside the fences depending on the graveyard. I cleared them all doing this, and I don't remember ever being in danger of dying this way. Honestly, the graveyards in Undead Overrun feel like they have five times as many zombies as the single player graveyards.

I'm a bit confused by the lead zombie in the graveyards. Do they do anything besides the animation? I mean..you have to kill all the zombies anyway, and they don't seem tougher than the rest. What's really the point?

But they're not all special zombies, so I can't really say. By the time you get to Sepulcro or whatever half the zombies are special zombies anyways, so I don't see the point then. Something I've never tried, and thought of just now... maybe holy water on the lead zombie? It could do something special, could do absolutely nothing.

To end the duel, you either have to fill your bar, fire every shot your gun has, or let the time expire. Since I'm a sucker for one-shotting dudes in duels, I tend to line up one well-aimed shot to the face, then wait for the duel timer to run out. As long as your bar is higher than your opponent's, you'll win. But yeah, I do wish there was a way to go "Yeah, I'm good, lemme shoot now".

The only way is to shoot their gun/hand. It'll fill the meter instantly, fire off one round and end the duel.

This is the downside about dueling: you can't choose your gun right before it happens. It would rock if you could choose before you go into one so you don't get stuck with the Mauser, or have a dueling sidearm chosen in a menu somewhere that automatically defaults to that. Of course, dueling for me has become a insignificant part of the game. If anybody challenges me on the street, I just shoot them with a shotgun in the face.

Actually, I enjoy duels with the Mauser and its fifteen-round clip. My “strategy” is usually something like face, face, face, face, face, hand, hand, knee, knee, groin, groin, groin, heart, face, face. I believe you can change your gun just before you press the "Accept Duel" button.

Holy crap, more than a day since a post? Anyway, I know this isn't a big deal (hell, I like it), but has anyone been loading up new saves in Undead Nightmare with extra ammo? Yesterday I started up a save and had over 200 pistol rounds in reserve. I spend an idle trip around Mexico last night using nothing but the volcanic pistol, so I dip just under 170 (I would've used more but I was tired plus some random human-to-zombie corpse had 41 pistol rounds). I save and turn it off. This morning I wake up and I have 275 pistol rounds in reserve!! And maxed out revolver rounds, too...who the hell's shoveling pistol rounds in my pockets?
