[@thirtythirty9054]

this is exactly the mistake in rdr2 online! because the horse has too little life and you can just shoot at the horse so they hang when falling down for almost 5 - 10 seconds in the animation and can not defend themselves. beginner mistake brother ; ) the biggest fault in rd online bro. never fight on your horse

These days you'll just get your horse killed. Before the slippery bastard and slow and steady nerf 90% of my combat was on my horse, SB with shotgun, S&S with revolvers or volcanics The good old days...

[@paddykek5154]

The 1st tip works with shotguns too (All guns, actually) when you use that tip with a shotgun it really puckers up the bloom for the gun. Kinda like having 120 slug shots. Not to mention the massive damage, with all the pellets being in such a tight spread

[@hamstershorses6697]

Quick tip for anyone who didn’t know! Varmint rifles do more than you think! If you hit someone with a headshot with regular bullets it’s an instant kill. If you use sedative bullets with it and shoot someone it messes up their screen like being drunk or getting sprayed by Harriet and it drains their stamina quickly and does slight damage. So I find it’s good for pvp 😌

[@GMANSTUDIO672]

You can hip fire with a rolling block on foot by holding R2 slightly then tap L2 once , and fully press R2 quickly while having perfect accuracy

[@problematic_canik]

Pvpcat first I wanna say thank you for still uploading rdr online vids. I've recently got into sniping since you speak about it so passionately. Love it! Using slow n steady,peak condition sharp shooter and unblinking eye. I usually do free roam. When I jump into shootout, I get stomped. Am I missing something?? Should I pop the camp stew before loading in? Would you switch unblinking eye for anything? (Maxed cards) I appreciate what you do for the community.

[@madmikeschannel8128]

This video came at the perfect time since I decided to up my sniper game. Your other sniper videos helped me a lot.

[@tomzomb8749]

I started playing RDRD2 about a couple months ago and got destroyed at level 16, After that fight I decided I was gonna focus more on PVP like I did in GTA V. So I got the rolling block and held my ground extremely well agaisnt higher level players, But I wasn't so great at picking cards. So I searched up some videos and found your channel, Best RD KZbinr, You're videos have helped me a lot in PVP and now I am bigger tryhard then I was in GTAV online, Thank you!

[@beardedhoser]

Great video. Very helpful tips. Thank you. This video is great for all level players.

[@ThatKa5p3r]

I'm confused by "go into deadeye & remove scope". You can't remove scopes on the snipers (Carcano & Rolling Block). ??? Also neither of my sniper rifles "auto" aim when hip firing like that. What am I missing here?

[@andreybudzik]

Being a sniper main I knew everything in the vid other than the carcano does more damage in PVE than rolling block, which don’t make sense lol. I like to use double sniper with SB in pvp if they get too close

[@danielfurtado8625]

I've been called a hacker on ps4 because my friend shown me this he's a God with the rolingblock and noscopeing from horse it used to be more skilful before the aimassist snipe was added.the fronteir update killed me inside

[@therealchickentender]

Same here. I had just gotten good with scoped weapon when Frontier dropped.... then within a couple months everyone was using them with the increased fire-rate and aim-assist. Now I'm just another Carcano user. Sucks.

[@Skinned_fried_n_cut_up_potato]

@@therealchickentender I was never really a fan of the snipers in the game because the scope range was too far to use at close range then my friend told me he got a carcano and he was doing quite good with it so I bought one and customized it to look sick and this time I stuck a medium scope on it so I can use it at pretty close range or even long range, I’ve always played freeaim (only swap to auto-aim when doing a trader run in case/if I get attacked) so the only real difference from the carcano and a repeater for example is the perfect accuracy which is quite noticeable makes sniping players and npcs fun.

[@therealchickentender]

@@Skinned_fried_n_cut_up_potato Yup yup. Similar here. Have run a long scope on the Rolling and short on the Carcano for 2 yrs now. Tying one of them to your auto-swap button makes cycling a cinch as you close.

[@jeph115]

if they gave us a way to use them without scopes, THEN WHY NOT JUST GIVE US A WAY TO REMOVE IT?

[@alyssa0411]

I agree, I don’t always want a scope but the carcano doesn’t give the option to toggle it like with the bolt.

[@jeph115]

[@mycaht364]

I have a hard time using them against greifers because when I shoot them once they hide or there freind kills me.

[@SubaruWRC1996]

I knew these as ive used snipers from day one. A Little tip when you hold the shoot button ever so slighly to aim out of scope tap the aim button very quick as you shoot and you get perfect accuracy off the horse. So on xbox tap LT and RT at the same time very quickly. Your character will hold the gun like your aiming down scope but if done quick enough you wont be

[@user-vt8bm6nh9r]

At the first tip: You can also aim without scoping in first person by gently pressing L2 (Idk if it works on pc, and if it does Idk how)

[@killaskrilla5320]

Sniping is the worst way to kill somebody in red dead online. That just pretty much sums up what kind of individual they are. In a game where you can tie people up, burn them, use them as a dartboart with throwing knifes, feed them to a alligator, maybe even a bear....THATS the way you choose to kill somebody? In the most mind numbing, boring, call of duty type of way.... I dont mind getting killed but at least show that you're a individual with some personality. I feel like a serial killer with a helluva niche, bothered by other serial killers who just flat out shoot their victims instead of thinking of creative ways to kill them, i have no respect for people who take a game like red dead online and turn it into some boring call of duty shyt. I rarely kill people but best belive that if i do, they'll remember it.

[@AbdelBen-gl7je]

Im level 1000 and trust me if you wanna go for sniper you need to use offensive cards FOCUS FIRE 🔥 AND WINING STRICK AND SHARPSHOTER AND PEAK CONDITION 🦌this will give you a 2 body shots kill on 2 starts tonic

[@rickysomething]

You can fire without using a scope on foot by pressing the fire button and the aim button at the same time and the sharpshooter ability could be applied to your shot when you do it right For pc players, you can quick swap to almost any weapon by pressing the different number key.

carcano has been the bane of this games pvp for a long time its outrageously OP, fire rate is ridonculous people just spam rounds at you until they get a hit which is not hard at all with the aggressive aim assist, its way to easy to set up a carcano to 1 shot people even with a t1 tonic meaning whenever a posse full of carcano spam runs up on you you gotta chug t2+ tonics or just get repeatedly 1 shot

[@windbeneathmywings4884]

Pvpcat you left one thing out! The length of the scope DOES in fact have one key feature that might affect your accuracy. Longer scopes have stronger aim assist, by that i mean "sticky reticle". Short scopes have very little aim assist and at very short range of effectiveness, typically shorter than most auto aim weapons, while long scopes have the strongest, making it slightly harder to track close targets. I personally use short on my bolt action, medium on carcano, and long on rolling block 😉

Man I really want you to check out sniping with a rolling block on horse back. It’s been my method for pvp for about a year now and I’m pretty sure there’s a broken mechanic there. I’ll land a shot and if I’m honest I really shouldn’t have landed it, the cross hairs are way off but it still hits. Idk maybe it’s too do with internet connection but definitely worth checking out as i haven’t seen anyone else using it. My method is pretty much the same as on foot sniping. Running side to side to line the shot up as well as doing circles to avoid being shot. It’s incredibly effective if you can keep your horse alive
