Where can I get more tomahawks in undead nightmare besides saving manzinta post? The only challenges I have left are tomahawk mastery 3, 4 and 5 and I got frustrated trying to peg some bats because I didnt know you could lock onto them with dead eye if they were close enough and ended up using up all my tomahawks.

Ive been trying killing the zombies near manzanita and tall trees because some of them have tomahawks in the heads but whenever I search them after blowing off their heads I never find tomahawks.

Edit nevermind after hours of killing and then finally posting this I kill 5 zombies near manzanita and get a tomahawk off of one of them.

First I tried shooting to make the bats pop out and then switching to the tomahawk. That takes too long. Run around the bushes in the area where you get the unicorn and chupacabra with the tomahawk out. Eventually you will scare up some bats. Aim anywhere the second they pop up and instantly go into dead eye mode then just tag one.

Alternatively after you scare a few run a couple of the lower flying ones around until you get almost right under them. The hills go up and down a bit and you can get lucky and catch one well after you scared them out.

Just got this game, and had an interesting experience.

Did the ride-around at the start, took the buggy into Armadillo, had fun pushing/kicking the drunkard, and went to the saloon. Play a little poker, and on the way out, there's a guy peeing in the room nearby with the door open. My friends urge me to push him, so I do, and the guy gets angry.

I jog out of the saloon, and pee-pants follows me, throwing punches. I give him a push or two back, and my friends tell me I should punch him.

So I hit right-trigger, thinking that would be 'punch', and in one fluid motion my character whips out the rifle, sticks it under pee-pants' chin, and blows his brains out, eliciting a WHAT THE gently caress from those watching, including me.

Can't wait to see what other surprises are in store.

Yeah, the old "tried to shove/punch, blew their brains out instead" thing still gets me occasionally. I thought it'd be funny one time to shove a guy down some stairs, ended up capping him right in the back of the head... wasn't quite as funny as I was expecting.

Then I just casually walked on to my room and laid down for a siesta. :clint:

Yeah, I killed both Irish and Seth "accidentally" once because of this. Even when you fail at a mission in this game it can still be because you did something good.

One of the few times in the game I actually felt BAD about doing something was with that "whoops murdered someone!" execution.

I forgot I had the sawed off equipped, and went to push a lady down the stairs on the outside of the saloon (PUSHERBOT! NOOOOOO!), and instead I blew her head off.

Sorry random black lady :smith:

Her body did fall down the stairs and take out that annoying as gently caress preacher though. Her death was not in vain.

I got this for Christmas, did anyone else have the experience of the first few hours of play being a comedy of errors? So far I've:
- Ran over at least 2 people running up to me for help, killing them,
- Shot my own horse trying to hunt rabbits,
- Shot a man being chased by wolves by accident,
- Accidently murdered a man in town and got shot to death by the town inhabitants,
- Shot a horse I was trying to rope,
- Chased some cows off a cliff when trying to do the opposite.

Great game though, especially now you can pick it up cheap.

I just got the game yesterday, and I've already killed a brothel murderer. Heard some screaming as I walked into town, and blew away some desperado stabbing a hooker. Was that just some sort of one-off scripted set piece?

And how is the multiplayer on PS3 when you're just playing with complete strangers? I was going to hold off until I could get some friends or at least some other goons to play with, but I really want to waltz into town with a posse and kill some prostitute stabbers.

Nah, you'll find a bunch of these. You'll also find guys with hookers hog tied and thrown over their shoulders, trying to steal them. Those are my favorite.

Multiplayer with pubbies strikes me as lovely in every game on every system. I play games with real life friends and/or goons and that's it. I'm far enough along in Gran Turismo that I might head back to RDR for a bit since that double xp is still going on. I still see darth brooks online a lot so maybe we can get a goon posse together for free roam or some co-op. Also does anyone here have the psn name EXNCS or something that looks like that? That's the one name on my list I have no idea if it's a goon or some random person I added.

I kinda thought as much. The PS3 is actually my first console I've thought about playing online with, and I was kinda hoping the console crowd would be a bit different than the PC crowd.

I used to do this poo poo constantly. Even now that I've played for a good long while it still happens occasionally. Last time I did it I whistled for my horse, saw some rear end in a top hat looting a dead body, slowly lined up a headshot...and the horse ran 2 feet in front of me taking a bullet in the head. Poor little pony.

This is the stuff that makes the game so great. RDR is one of the only games where you are constantly presented with random situations to interact with and it doesn't really matter how it turns out, but you often mess it up and actually feel bad about accidentally shooting the guy instead of the wolves chasing him, or not being able to hit the rope to save the guy being hanged. Even in GTA, you could mess with the pedestrians all you want, but something about those little scripted events in RDR adds so much life to the world.

I had a sheriff deputy run out of some bushes, shouting for my help, so I shot the man who came out after him. Unfortuantly that was also a deputy, who was being chased by a third man, who thanked me for gunning down the two lawmen he was chasing.

One time I saw two men chasing one man, shooting at him, so being the good samaritan that I am, I shot the two men with Deadeye. When the first one went down, John yelled "Now it's two against two, Marshall!" I kinda welped as he shot the second one and watched my honor drop.

So I finally started playing Undead Nightmare after not playing Red Dead for months. It's a pretty solid bit of DLC even if a little repetitive. I found a flaming horse which is pretty awesome and the blunderbus owns. Speaking of which, how do you reload it? I've been harvesting zombie bits for ammo but am I supposed to craft them somewhere or something?

e: also i have no idea how i'm ever going to hit a bat with a tomahawk

You can craft ammo for the blunderbuss with an item in your inventory.

Maybe I'm remembering a different mission... or maybe I'm remembering her house being somewhere different. As I recall the Irish house was that little shack down a little gulley going South and overlooking the lake from high up... you go there fo a rescue mission from Fort Mercer in UN, too. For some reason I'm remembering Ross' wife's house being right along the water, on the south side of the lake, and being more of a proper house.

Woah, my game just hosed up. I was in freeroam massacring innocent townsfolk when all of a sudden the top half got pixelly and said Wreck of the Serendipity and then everything froze. Couldn't bring up the home menu, had to press off on the console.

The disc is fine and I only ever play with the game installed, so I have no clue. Could it be an online problem?

If I see that happen in New Elizabeth it means it's bear hunting time. That's right, I'm big drat wus about hunting bears and I like to do it from the safety of a stagecoach. I got tired of the ninja bears of the Animal Retaliation Society coming out of nowhere just as I finish skinning some animal or picking a flower.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Is this goddamn tomahawk a loving flying bat poo poo broke? I can't auto target bats, theres hardly any ever flying around, so I throw down some undead bait near a tree and the bats all fly around and then get stuck all up in my bait so I tomahawk them and it doesn't count. But look! Some of them are actually flying around in circles, so I wait like a minute to line up a shot and I nail that sonovabitch and it still don't count.

I must have tomahawked like 10 bats and now I'm out of tomahawks from all my misses :argh:

IIRC, multiplayer on the Undead Nightmare disc is the same as the regular game's multiplayer, but the single player portion is Undead Nightmare only. The regular game is up on Games on Demand (which means no more messing with discs at all), but it's $60 and I've seen it cheaper in some stores.
