If Red Dead Online is missing one thing, it's duel-those iconic one-on-one shootouts fit most cowboy movies.
We are all familiar with visual effects: fingers are curled near the holster, ready to paint and shoot. Two cows facing the tumbleweed danced between them. The ringing city bells damn it.
This was the first Red Dead Redemption, but Red Dead Redemption 2 lacked this experience. Now players in Red Dead Online are making their own rules for the Western showdown.
In the game, those seeking a showdown will get closer and closer to this situation. There is usually an opponent and a referee who uses the ability to shoot into the air to signal the start of a round. Maybe players can use bells in Rhodes, but I haven't seen this happen.
This is a duel:
So, shortly after I logged in from r / RedDeadOnline for a day, a completely random player challenged me in Saint Denis today for a traditional Western matchup
However, there are two points worth noting here. The player who made this video did not follow the rules completely, but I can save you from the embarrassment of faking the video yourself.
First, you don't need to use "dead eye", which is frowning. You should aim and shoot for yourself. Also, instead of aiming low, you should always shoot from the hips – it makes it harder to shoot clearly and makes the showdown more exciting.
Next time you go live in Wilderness, why not send a message to players and enjoy a glorious death?
A lot has happened to Western at Rockstar recently. For example, did you know that you can stare at bears in Red Dead Online to stop them from attacking?
People also use vomit to stop themselves from being hurt in Red Dead Online, just like in real life.
