I use rolling block too but never manage to get a 1 hit kill with it, it looks like a headshot and should have been a headshot, but noooo. And omg, the dynamite...I just could not get to throw it, kept on placing it on the ground and that's why I blew myself up. I'm fine with it on muh horse, but on foot, when it matters, no chance.

Hmm. Not sure why. Maybe it was caused by the lag? Maybe try Carcano next then? Either way, a sniper is vital in this game, especially this map. ( Blackwater too )
That happened to me... the sitting the dynamite on the ground. Didnt even mean to. I mean, can do we do that in other game play cause I've never done it before.

I have a sniper but can't remember which one. Yes, you can so that in the normal game too. I did pick up the exploding bow on the rooftop the other day, that's fun as hell. I wasn't sure if dropping your current weapon and picking up one of the random ones would permanently replace the one you had, but it doesn't.

Okay so, I'm glad you said that. I thought it was ammo and you had to have it equipped. But was a little nervous to try. Didnt want to lose my weapons.
I'm wondering if this is a permanent mode. When it first hit, last reset, it said earn 3xs the gold. Does that mean it will be permanent with a lower gold payout? I'm okay with that btw. I've earn more gold then I need. Spent like, 20 bars in the tailor yesterday and still have a shit-ton left. I just want this to be a permanent mode. By far, the best thing in this game... getting drunk in our Moonshine shack and slapping each other aside.

If you run over a weapon that you have equipped it will give you some ammo. You can swap out any gun you carry for anything, but you get your gun back once the rounds have finished. Pretty sure it's here to stay the same as the other missions in your telegrams but not sure on the x gold rewards.

Yup the bows great fun huh. Will take a look at my loadout, I pretty much carry all the guns except for shotties, I have a couple of them that I switch between.
The only things I don't like about this game mode is, if you die early in the round (mainly by blowing yourself up ) you have a very long wait for the next round. I usually pop the kettle on and go for a smoke or something. The other thing is randoms.....why they vote to skip the setting up of your allies is annoying. If it's 3 votes, I make them wait til I am done setting their places.

Hoping to have some time soon to log in and join you guys for some mayhem! I desperately need to upgrade my gear in general and get more going with these different events and such that Rockstar puts out. When do y'all typically play?

Oh yes. That's annoying but usually Six and I both are busy moving allys so it doesn't get skipped even if they want. It's crazy because those allys need to be set up. Why people skip it is something I don't understand. Some of those Alleys have saved my life. Last night, I was the last standing with 52 enemies left. So that entire time, I felt like I was being stared at. Made me even more nervous.
Made it tho.
Another game, the random was the last and we watched with excitement. It was intense. Needed popcorn.

I am on the other side of the big blue pond to the other guys, so for me it is usually anytime now in the week. Weekend is when we get together, late afternoon UK time, early/mid morning for them.
We can help you rank up and earn some money fast by doing trader runs to start. Do you have any of the online roles yet?

That would be awesome! Evenings for Six and I ( CST) And throughout the weekend. I could certainly get my wagon ready for you. You'll make over $300.00 riding to protect the goods. We could definitely help you out.
What time zone?

Sweet, I'd appreciate the support, even if just showing me the ropes of it all. I don't think I had chosen any roles, as it seemed they required more than I was interested in investing in the game at the time. It's been about a year and a half since I was online, I think, so to be honest I don't totally remember. I've got to clear some space out to put RDR back on my PS4 before I get going again too.
My availability is pretty slim, but in general follows weekends and some evenings. I'm also CST! Looking forward to possein' up

Sounds good, bud. And I will tell you that I believe this game is more fun with good people with you. There's always griefers ready to ruin your day by being assholes. But they are less likely to do so when you have people with you. We are a good team.
I'll fill my wagon. And I'll sit on it until we get together. We will be looking for you. ♡

Oh wow.
If I didnt have my boar pelt in my hand, I would have tried. Like I said, it took me a second to figure out wtf happened. And I was hunting animal fat so I could have used that duck. It flew away before the shock fell off.

Lolz Beans. Reminds me of this...
Spoiler:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Not sure how far you are into the online side of things, but starting out can be slow without gold and good weapons. We will fill our wagons for you and hold them until we see you on. I think you will get $300 from each run so that will give you a good start. As a heads up, while doing a trader run, if anyone in the posse gets disconnected, or we get highjacked by other players, the person who is running the wagon will cancel the run so we don't lose the goods, so don't worry if you see that happen. We just load back in and restart.

Awesome, I appreciate your help in getting me started! Yeah, I definitely remember not having the gold to do much of anything and felt like my weapons were more of invitations for others to shoot at me rather than anything I could do damage with. But it'll be a different story being at the side of some seasoned vets like yourselves!
Went through and reinstalled the game last night. Hoping to log on sometime this week... perhaps tonight! Eager to get some shenanigans going again in New Hanover!

I wonder if we could get you into Call to Arms with us. Fast way to get you gold, money and xp. You'll get your ass handed to you but only because your lower level. But we could run it hard. Hell, Six and I usually get to wave 8 by ourselves with hardly any problems.
We will be on tonight. We can run my wagon. Just ride with me as I'm sure you have a slow horse atm. Shoot allllll the red dots.
