Red Dead Redemption 2 | PS4/XB1/PC | Out Now

[-DMP-]

Not necessarily reload. You have to hit the button twice on single action weapons. There's a button press for each action: Shoot > Cock the hammer back > Shoot again
To be clear, while shoulder aiming (L2) with the lever action, you hit R2 once to pull the trigger, then R2 to drop the lever and rack the next bullet. Then you hit R2 again to fire the next bullet.
Or if you want to rapid fire you can do so from the hip. Just tap R2 fast. You can do the same thing with the hand guns.
But yeah, the rifle doesn't shoot a bullet with every button press. They made it so you have to go through the motions of bringing the next bullet into the chamber. It was weird for a second but works really well and adds to the sense of realism they were going for.

yea i dnt think i have this weapon yet.

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

yea i do t thinm i have this weapon yet.

Breh Im an hour in.
I think it was right before or right after you scoop up our boy.
I'm still pretty much in the tutorial portion of the game.
You sneak up on a camp and they give you the decision to tell Dutch if you want to lead the attack or have the gang go in first.

Whoever said they tossed dynamite on the KKK meeting...I did the same shyt


I had a fukk up with the dynamite before that tho. Ran across two dudes trying to open a safe, shot boffum dead and planted the dynamite stick on the safe. Got distracted by the wife and couldn't run away in time before it went off

This Saint Denim city living

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a culture shock in a game before

To go from raggedy tents and Pearson’s unseasoned stew TO THIS

This is the life

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

I found a weird map in a camp site on a ridge line in the grizzlies, a lil west where the Arabian horse spawns. It’s not the poisonous trail map but something different. I’ll load a pic of later, but I’m not finding anything about it online.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

killed 3 of the gunslingers, helped 1 escape

 

[King Jove]

So I see a naked man in the woods howling like a wolf. I get off my horse to inspect it, then he runs away. I chase after him, then he runs into a cave. I go in the cave and he’s got 2 pet wolves and he sends them towards me. I kill them with my cattlemans, then he gets into the fetal position and starts crying. I apologize for killing his wolves, then the muhfukka charged at me with a knife butt naked then we have a fist fight while this dude is naked with his dikk out.

 

[GunRanger]

Don’t fukk with us

The lighting is so good at night


I was riding around and fhe O Driscolls ambushed me and they were carrying lanterns and it looked so good.

fukk

I was just exploring the map and was hunting a moose the other day. The moose got away cause whatever but as I was saddling up on my horse I saw a cougar right there. My horse ran like a bytch and I heard that growl and I in real life. I legit scared my brother who was sitting on the opposite side of the room.
Still have that fear in my heart from the first game
Then i found out cougars one shot you in this game too

When you hear that growl its usually too late

Not done reading through the thread and never checked it until recently cus I was too busy playing the game. That said, I'm sure others have similar stories but I haven't seen them mentioned yet so....

Anyone run into a thunder/lighting storm yet? BUT I mean run into when you weren't expecting it? Like I was rolling up on a camp with smoke in the sky and then all of a sudden KABOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM and a big ass shot of lighting came down and thought my earphones was gonna rumble off my damn head, I even yelled out OH shyt and then laughed at myself hahaha the weather is crazy, like the huge rain storms, or when it gets so damn misty/foggy you cant see your hand in front of your face that shyts crazy...

The reason the game feels so alive is because it is. Most of the events aren't scripted, especially the animal ones out in the wild, which makes for unpredictable encounters just like in real life. Like I was down by the river following a trail to a waypoint, slow up to see if there's anything to shoot and hear this loud ass BAKAWWWWW type shriek, and im like shieeeeetttttt that's got to be a bird of prey of some kind, so I go to scan the sky with eagle eye...no damn need this bird swoops down out the air to grab a fish in front of me, even slowed down like he was in slow mo, popped that dead eye, pulled out the Bow and shot myself a Bald Eagle! But dynamic events that are self triggered like that, happen if your around or not, which is why the game feels alive.

Ran up on a camp of O'Driscolls talking about a robbery. Mask up, dual wield black hand of death and my other revolover black beauty, and get to clapping. I've robbed a ton of these damn camps and never had this happen, but I shot either a lantern or oil or something and next thing I know a tent was on fire, so I'm like shyt let me get to looting before that spreads...man that whole damn camp went up in seconds, I was like wtf I want some loot! Waited for the fire to die down, and then couldn't even loot them cus they were burned up!

Also, shoot and skin everything. If you ever notice, your dead eye meter goes up for all of it, just one point, but basically anytime you skin or pluck or pick up an animal you get a dead eye point. EDIT - by goes up I mean it puts points towards reaching the next level of dead eye.
