Don't Combine these Ability Cards in Red Dead Online!

[@davidcolemusic]

What he is saying is wrong, if you compare the drain time with and with UB you will see it does make a massive difference.

[@UNDRdog01]

@@davidcolemusic but your usually in and out so quick it doesn't really matter about the drain rate

[@davidcolemusic]

​@@UNDRdog01 UE gives you 9 more seconds of dead, yes it is best paired with S.S or S.B, but to say it is bad to us with PiB is wrong. Yes LFTF is better with PiB if you are doing pvp and in and out of dead eye, but if you need to clear a hideout or large, or a bootlegger mission or just shoot a large chunk of animals in one hit UB gives you a massive advantage.

[@billshamrock449]

They need to give us a way where we can switch ability card loadouts without going to another screen. Give us 3 to 5 slots that we can change like outfits or something.

I tested out the painted black one and it seems to still reduce the time pretty significantly, it about doubles the amount of time you can spend in dead eye even with painted black. So I say it's still pretty worth it

[@scottieplaysgta3579]

I am one of these ppl lately! I've replaced eye for an eye with unblinking eye! Thank you for this I'll switch it up with gift of focus maybe or back to eye for an eye again. Obviously with pib

[@thenik7817]

Dude, peak condition, gunslingers choice, PIB and winning streak=DEADLY COMBO 🤓🤓

[@NatureXwars]

I use PiB primarily for its multi-target marking feature, so Gunslinger's Choice is still great for general gunfights.

[@Arocksy]

I use PiB and Unblinking eye together. It helps in a situations then you out of auto-lock distance or enemy in cover and only head popping out, to aim manually and deliver a headshot, while your opponent cant lock on you.

[@doughboywhine]

PIB and TUE while not a good combo in combat could actually be pretty useful for hunting. If you are using a springfield, then you are only making one shot anyways, so the lower consumption of Dead eye while in use would be much more helpful and the increased Eagle Eye duration is a nice bonus as well.

[@Michael-ti3ti]

I've been using paint it black and gunslingers choice together. Thanks for explaining the cards. I'll be making some changes

[@RobertSiemer]

It still makes sense to use Paint it Black with Unblinking Eye to extend _eagle_ eye (and not dead eye).

[@rjasontwenty1099]

i was on pvp against 3 lower ranks guys, me lvl 43 against some guys lvl 34 (the headman), lvl 20 and lvl 18 guys...i had these ability cards:slow and stead 3, winning streak 2, iron lung 3, strange medicine 2 ..the leader with only 1 card open ": a moment to recuperate 1 kills me over and over again with the bolt rifle, i than used painted black 3 , but still he managed to kill me over and over again... so i dont believe in these cards anymore, play defensive and do my collecting and bounty hunting on my own, they were the one to attack me in st.

Here is something that nearly no none knows quite an inspiration and a moment to recuperate Stack so if if you use a moment to recuperate and your friend uses quite an inspiration you regenerate about 4x to 5x the health

[@TRIIGGAVELLI]

I've been using PiB, NwO, Eye for an Eye and Strange Medicine lately. It's an awesome all round build. Can't believe it took me so long to figure that out.

[@PVPCat]

Yeah, it's fine build

[@mrmisanthropy6627]

To be honest I use that build in PVE situations only. In PVP situations I'm a slippery one shot sniper build guy

[@TRIIGGAVELLI]

@@mrmisanthropy6627 I use that loadout aswell. But it's dependent on the situation imo. It's a great build for wide open spaces but in cramped quarters PvP it think PiB is still king. I always carry my Evans and the Carcano (or bow) so I'm equipped to deal with slippery bastards like you lol.

pretty sure the hood mechanic was somewhat reworked, for example you cant re equip your hat immediately in team showdowns when your saved outfit that you're wearing has a garment set

[@ryanreedtv3242]

We need pre set ability card slots in free roam so I can get prepared in the heat of a moment without taking a full minute to change each one individually. With 30 sec cool down of course.

[@amberlita]

Great video and very informative. However, some of the rationales assume that it only makes sense to use cards that fully complement each other based on a narrow play style (e.g., if you plan to snipe). I think a lot of people combine cards to get some benefit spread across multiple scenarios because that's typical of their gameplay, and not typical - or practical - to change builds in between.

[@guilhermedborges]

Excellent video! I love your tips. I have settled down on this build for now: PIB, strange medicine, never without one and iron lung. The defense is solid and the "life steal" keeps me good during PVE fight. On PVP i usually change the first two for sharpshooter and peak condition (for sniper fights). It would be nice if you could make a updated video for weapons setup. I don't know if its better to use dual saw-offs and a lancaster; or double mausers with another shotgun for example.

[@PVPCat]

I would rather pick first option

[@guilhermedborges]

@@PVPCat Thank you! I agree, i think in most scenarios this is the better option.

[@bootychaaaaain]

I run winning streak and eye for an eye a lot. It works for shotguns, and in pvp it's not often you will get the headshot on the first shot, given how much players move, further I believe eye for an eye has been shadow nerfed because I can no longer maintain a full dead eye bar, it slowly decreases little by little with every headshot I make, even with the gift of focus I barely break even

[@Antpoison]

I actually do use winning streak and eye for an eye because if I miss my headshot it’s nice to have that damage boost

[@zex_guinness73]

has no one noticed the effectiveness of the "necessity breeds" card when the health core is golden or when it is greater than the bar? would it be possible to do a test to see the increase in damage with the golden core and the complete bar? I noticed that for example by eating the special Cripps stews, card becomes active, so I assume that, already basic, the damage would be increased

[@muc6214]

I hope rockstar give us hardcor free room without cards 🙏

[@paulinusrubinus9881]

Thanks pvp cats. Cant wait to play some red dead after work today

[@neverfallnewsmedia]

Pretty much just run E4AE, L4TF, NW/O1 and PIB, exclusively in PVE. 1. DPS x2 2. Heal 3. Tank ability (Basically) Best balance imo for the hardest PVE content.

[@-youngish]

my build for free roam (am lvl 571): PIB, Iron Lung, Peak Condition, Strange Medicine. Gives good damage reduction, good damage increase, and Strange is a good overall health boost as you get health from all damage inflicted - so good for fights and for NPCs and also for general combat as you still get health even if you don't get the kill shot. For PVP/free roam missions, i swap out SM for Eye for an Eye as deadeye is more important.

[@andyetheridge]

[@catiloh6086]

Slow and steady also prevents shotgun stagger, most people don’t mention that.

[@bobbyjohnson159]

I say just get rid of ability cards, and your skill dictate your shot.

[@ghosteez8465]

To say I am hilariously sick of people complaining about slippery bastard is an understatement. As a slippery user, I can confirm it is not an overpowered, stupid, or whatever else you wanna call it card. It is COUNTERABLE easily if you know what to use and how to move. For God sakes instead of whining about the card, get good. Good pvpers can counter it easily, you're just not good and don't realise it. An example of an overpowered part of the card game is admittedly the slow n steady, iron lung, fool me once card set using 3 fortified tonics and minty game. Now THATS tanky and low-key a bit ridiculous. But like EVERYTHING in the game, it is still COUNTERABLE 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for coming to my ted talk

[@tylerwisner8682]

I usually don't use Gunslinger's Choice and PiB at the same time, Gunslinger's choice for racking up dead eye then swapping into a longarm for dead eye

[@KingWolfChris]

I use gunslinger with pib because my dead eye deactivates on its own after a few shots sometimes and I want the pistols to have the damage and accuracy to finish the job quick. Furthermore I use to main focus fire and with gunslinger choice on that was the only way I could get an almost guaranteed headshot with a non scoped weapon (assuming I aim right lol)

[@pervert-kun7264]

My builds (console) PvE:PIB ,Eye for eye ,strange medicine , fool me once. (always go for a headshot on enemy npc or animals) you can literally take out 10+ enemies in a instant if you land all headshots and have full health and dead eye after it no tonics needs to be used saves a lot of money and kill enemies fast and easy as long as you are killing you are almost immortal (Don’t paint everyone at the same time because dead eye will drain do one at a time once you have it memorized you can take out multiple enemies with ease) PvP: PIB ,iron lung ,never without one ,fool me once (Always go for headshots) Iron lung and fool me once protect shots to the body and never without one protects from headshots and PIB to easily get headshots and insta kill other players

[@tbakesteak567]

I like this exact PvE setup except I recently starting using cold blooded in place of strange med, just because I feel it works better eye for an eye. But swap out fool me once for the other healing card and eye for and eye and pib.. now that is an op build. You literally never touch tonics in PvE for any reason

In my opinion, the best PVE setup is Paint it Black, Eye for an Eye, Cold Blooded, and Strange Medicine. If going for headshots with this you get a double initial health buff on impact, plus extra bonus health for three seconds? (Eye for an Eye and Paint it Black always go together) If you don't like Strange Medicine, I'd use Iron Lung or Come Back Stronger though the latter isn't much help
