quality of life tip for hunting back shitty griefers:
if you crouch and go slow, you vanish from the radar
happy hunting
Apparently you can farm a lot of cash by simply deleting and creating a new character and then doing all the story missions before repeating. Cause you keep all the cash. Also, seems like the clothing you're given at the start of MP is totally randomized, so you can get the badass duster and everything at level 1 if you're lucky.
Meh, I'd bother farming but it seems like levelling up for cash is working well, I got to level 14 and found myself at $300+ with 2 Gold Bars, spent the Gold Bars on an Off-Hand Holster and some dollars on another Revolver, prices are still pretty ridiculous however and I still don't like how many items are level locked, like I wouldn't mind a change of pants but the ones I like the look of are like Level 30+ unlocks, it's pretty stupid.
Right now my money maker is hunting birds outside of Saint Denis until night time when they stop spawning, then grind out some missions for XP and gold.
Chapter 4 spoilers
Just completed the mission where the O'Driscolls attack the Shady Bell camp, and Kieran's death made me realize how underused he was. When he was first introduced at the beginning of the game, I thought he was going to become a regular character, maybe with a story arc about integrating into Dutch's gang and becoming "one of the crew." But nope, he was barely acknowledged after that. I wouldn't blame you if you forgot who he was until his death scene.
So is there any real benefit to using your camp online or making a persistent posse? At the moment posses seem kind of broken. Half the time invites don't even work. I sent tons of invites for my friends to join my posse and they never got them. It seems like you're better off on your own.
I don't find the prices bad honestly. Thinking about things in GTA that even after playing since launch I haven't unlocked like the Minigun and RPG it kind of puts it in perspective how much of a long haul its designed for. Over the weekend of playing in the evenings I've made a couple thousand dollars hunting. Got the Varmint rifle upgraded with the larger scope, rifling and the iron sight upgrade which has made it a breeze. Just bought the repeater shotgun and got the barrel extension and rifling. I get anywhere from $75-120 every 'hunt' that I go out and run till I'm out of Varmint ammo. The only place worth hunting is right outside of Saint Denise to the north in the swamp, focusing on birds but taking literally everything. You can luck out and come across 10 pelicans or loons and quickly take them all down with the repeating and you're looking at $20 worth game in about 2 minutes of harvesting.
At the moment the only other thing I really want is the Litchfield, but I'm level 16, and a bolt action upgraded with the optional scope. After that I'm pretty much done grinding because everything else is level capped out.
I also restarted to make my character different, though my case trying to avoid grandma chin

Are crocs a big concern where you hunt?
There all over the place but since the swamp is mostly clear of trees and level you see them from a long way away. I usually don't waste time killing them as well since they take a few repeater shots and you don't get much from them, and often they run off into the water. The baby ones are worth getting since their pelts are smaller, they give 3 big game meats still and can be one shot killed.
The only time my dumbass gets attacked is when I foolishly wade out into the water to get a downed bird.
Just bring a shotgun in case any gators try to get ya.

lonely horseman looking for some posse
I just had an interesting encounter when I was hunting. Some guy slammed into me with his horse, presumably by accident. I took a lot of damage, and my horse died from it. I walked over to him, and did the "damn you" emote, he shook his head. His friend came over, hogtied him, put him on the back of his horse and rode off. Shit like that is why I already like this a lot more than GTA Online. Most of the people I've encountered have been friendly. Sure there's an asshole here and there, but for the most part, I feel comfortable riding past someone without them putting a bullet in me.
Wow I actually managed to play for 4 hours yesterday without crashing even once, or getting interrupted by random deathmatching! Managed to scramble together roughly 180 dollars worth of hunting. Just need like 80 dollars more and I can finally buy a goddamn rifle.
Your character seriously looks like he could take on an Alligator with his bare hands, just shows off his chest and the thing dies.
Not really. I've just been hunting like crazy because that's what I find most fun right now. I'll probably do missions later today though.
Challenges are also a nice way of getting EXP, so if you're completing them you can level up and have fun really, PICK ALL THE PLANTS.
This is a very personal gripe, mind you, but I'm kinda bummed that, by the time the main story takes you to Saint Denis, you have basically acess to all the guns, horses and clothing the game has to offer, unless the game arbitrarily decides a certain weapon is too strong for you at that stage and, thus, you can't purchase it for some reason.
The clothing angle is especially bad to me because, when you get down to it, each general store and tailor has the same stuff on sale from the very beginning and only posses a handful of unique attires.
It also doesn't help that, at the very least in single player, the whole economy progresses at a downright uncontrollable pace.
At the beginning of the main story having to carefully manage the very few bucks you can put together here and there is both fun and challenging, but halfway point you get so much cash as a result of mandatory story heists and crimes that you'll sit on much more dollars than what you'll ever need
Yeah, I ended up buying everything I wanted via hunting while I was filling out my wardrobe for the roaming Hunter so when I started doing higher take missions I just had money to burn.
It doesn't help on a somewhat minimalist on cosmetics so all my guns are plain with blue steel and brown wood finish, my clothing is all stuff I bought at the beginning of the game for cheap and I can't be bothered to touch up my horse
God damn, is there any reason why one of the awards means travelling by train for 1,000 shitting miles? At first it was only saying 10 miles and I figure, sure why not, but then it updated and showed the max as 1,000, you fuck right off with that, I just spent like 5 - 10 minutes and manged 5 miles, how fucking long will 1,000 miles take? it'd probably take like a week real time to do that shit.
I'm in chapter 4 and I'm still in need of money. But I also fully customize all the guns I have.
Yeah I saw that one too - couldn't believe it. I feel the same about pretty much any of the challenges requiring 1000 of something - especially if you know there many other "do X a 1000 times" tasks as well.
Remember guys, if you're online and hunting/fishing don't leave your horse unattended away from you. Was out hunting cougar and some fucker stole my fish from my horse when I wasn't looking. You can steal carcasses large and smaller, from people's horses.
A guy was afk next to the butcher so for the luls I unloaded his horse and left the carcasses on the floor and guarded them till he got back to teach him a lesson.
I had that too, but he was an ass hole, killed me once then kept incapacitating my horse. So I returned the favor, capped his horse and camped it killing him till he left. Mostly encountered friendlies, but always on a hair trigger for hostilities, as I've had people act friendly them blast me too often. So now I have the expectation that they're gonna be hostile, and if they are, boy do I make them regret it.
How the fuck does that work out? I put the fish in my Portal Bag and the exit is the Saddle on the Horse?
It was a muskie, so big fish, has to go on the back of your horse, just like any large animal, deer etc.
So how does that "break free" prompt work when someone has tackled you to the ground with a knife? Despite my desperate mashing as fast as possible, they kill me every time.
I love how you can enter pretty much every interior online. I just walked right into the Saint Denis mayor's house, knifed the people inside, and was able to fully explore the place.
Yeah, it's great to be able to explore so many of them. Although most of the houses I've been in were empty, which kinda sucks.
Have you made the guys back at camp die from starvation yet?
