Seriously though, a double-action revolver is probably one of the most significant advancements in personal firearms up to the advent of magazine-fed handguns, since it overcomes the slower ROF of previous revolvers.

I'm no expert

It was. It looks like a Colt Police Positive, which for the time was also a step up in power in terms of muzzle velocity. Fired faster, reloaded faster, had a faster projectile. But real men use .45 Colt dammit. Or .44-40.

Also, here's some cheats and their effects I found with a modded save. No details on how to unlock them or the phrase needed; some are known some are social club unlocks and poo poo:


Again more end game poo poo, but I used some gizmo that lets you edit 360 save games. Enabled all cheats and got these in game:
Invincibility - hurrr, disables itself after a while?
Infinite Dead Eye - hurrr
Infinite horse stamina -hurrr
Infinite ammo - hurrr
Every shot counts - your gun kills in one hit
Rubber horse - ?
Money - $500
Donkey rider - spawn a donkey
Horse - spawn your horse
Coach - spawn a coach
Diplomatic immunity - no law enforcement
Increase bounty - hurrr
Decrease bounty - hurrr
Gun set 1 - springfield rifle, double barreled shotgun, volcanic pistol,
gun set 2 - buffalo rifle, fire bottle, sawed off shotgun, semi-auto pistol
gun set 3 - henry repeater, rolling block rifle, pump action shotgun, dynamite, high power pistol
gun set 4 - bolt action rifle, carcano, throwing knife, semi-auto shotgun, mauser pistol
punchout - instakill punch
famous - max fame
who? - no fame
good guy - max honor
bad guy - max infamy
so-so guy - neutral fame
change weather - hurrr, turn on repeatedly to cycle weather (Clear, cloudy/green tint in atmosphere, rain, thunderstorm, snow)
beastmaster - animals attracted to you (tested at macfarlane's ranch, two horses ran up to me)
hitchcock - ?
old school - sepia
guns blazing - gunshots catch on fire, random effect/disables after a while?
hic - drunkenness until disabled
sharp dressed man - elegant suit?
man in uniform "You cannot enable this cheat during any activity."
gang chic - bollard twins outfit, treasure hunter outfit, bandito outfit, reyes rebels outfit,
lewis and clark
jack attack kinda end game-ish I suppose, play as jack (irreversible loving lame)
right to bear arms - ?
rise up - riot?
dead eye 1-3 - hurrr
15 blanks that can be enabled/disabled, DLC?
Nothing for what you, me, and probably many others want :\

However, Rise Up IS in fact some sort of riot mode. I was getting shot up at Bonnie's ranch :o

A lot of cheat phrases are written around the game world. The money cheat is painted on the wall inside a mine, there's another one written somewhere in Sepulcro.

Yeah that's what I mean when I said some of the phrases are already known :) Apparently invincibility and flaming bullets turning themselves off is a glitch and not some retarded intentional nonsense.

I think I may have found another way to save the game anywhere - if you go into the options menu and change your aiming mode, the game autosaves. I don't know if it's saving my game or just the option settings, but maybe!

The options menu has it's own save file. I think using horse deeds will be better way to quick save.

So what's the 13th safehouse? On the Rockstar Social Club page, it says I have 12 of 13 with the 13th one grey'd out so I can't even see the name of it or where it's at to purchase. It kind of looks like END OF GAME SPOILERS a grave but it could also be a lovely spring bed. I dunno.

Just like in GTA:SA, there are rumors of Bigfoot in RDR. There are also rumors of a werewolf (both in Tall Trees, of course).

However, I can see it actually happening in this case, but only because of the sheer number of glitches and not because it has actually been programmed into the game.

Upcoming DLC: Skinwalkers appear in Tall Trees, harass/kidnap/kill Blackwater citizens. :v:

Is there anyway to compare guns in the store to the guns I have now? Should I even buy new guns at all? I'm already in Mexico and I feel like I'm just using the rifle all the time. And where do I buy horse deeds?

Start menu > Weapons. They have little bars for damage and such. Deeds are bought at general stores.

I'm doing some bounty hunting and the bounty managed to get on his horse and took me on a good chase up near MacFarlane's. When I lassoed him off the horse, Marston said "Oh, I'm sorry cocksucker!"

Not once have I heard him say this and I've taken in tons of bounties. I take it that line has always been in there since I didn't have a patch to download today. Either that or my Deadwood binge is doing my head in and I'm hearing poo poo :psyduck:

It'd be nice if one of those packs brought a cheat or something to the single player so you're not stuck playing as a spastic hooplehead and go back to being John.

Bear hunting is hilarious with the Buffalo Rifle. In fact, the Buffalo Rifle is just such a goofily powerful blunderbuss in general that I'm unable to resist using it for grossly inappropriate things, like obliterating banditos at close range or shooting small game. Did you know that shooting a skunk with the Buffalo Rifle causes it to vapourize? :haw:

I've got more kills with that thing than any other weapon. God I love it so much :allears:

After I got my achievement for killing the last buffalo, I reverted back to the last autosave. Now I still have buffalo wandering around in my game, which makes me happy.

Plus, you know, you don't have to do all the rancher missions back-to-back, so Ross' betrayal might not happen until days, weeks or months later. It depends on how you play it, and nothing says you can't run around like a badass outlaw and be a rancher.

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.

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.

The duster and bandoleer work so well together. The poncho covers the bandoleer which reduces cool points :(

Get a bounty going at MacFarlane Ranch, then head north above the boar icon on the map into the rock formation; it should pop up as 'Tall Trees'. Then allow yourself to get arrested. You'll be taken to the Blackwater jail.

Holy poo poo, neato. Are the shops and items available? Can you fast travel back there once you leave?

E:

Looks like it was patched out. I had to clear my cache to get Tall Trees to trigger on the rock formation near the water fall. Why is there no game+? It'd be nice for beating the game once already, or getting 100% and "Oh hey, you want to play again? Ok, here's a full map! :)" or something :\

Haha and now I'm stuck up north, can't fast travel to New Austin.

I thought that was a cool area, too. IIRC though, you only go there once to start a single mission and eventually you can't get into it any more. I wish there were more to do in some of these places because they're great set-pieces but never have any role in the story.

It'd be nice to have it as a property. A swanky villa out in the middle of nowhere, just for you. :unsmith: There's also an area in Mexico that's kinda tropical-ish, little blue streams and palm trees all over the place.
