how do I switch back to auto tagging with dead eye?

[bearsboi]

the manual thing is so terrible. I wanna go back to auto. how do I do that? also it doesn't even work. the control is supposed to be G to tag but it only works half the time

You can't, once it upgrades to manually tagging targets it stays that way.

[bearsboi]

"upgrade" lol wtf? it's so bad tho

[isapicobella]

It works fine for me, but I use a controller on here. Not sure why yours isn't responsive half the time. Maybe someone else who also plays with M&KB can be of more help with that.

It is a solid upgrade. You can tag heads all the time rather than the 1st spot in a body your crosshair hits. It just needs a little getting used to.
Also if you haven't changed the input for tagging it should be Q not G.

yea I just checked my key mapping and it does say Q. for whatever reason it told me G in the tutorial tho

Use and change in game controls to "Hold" instead of 2x 4x, aim assist if you play with keyboard and mouse, all you have to do enter dead eye and mouse them on their body to auto tag

If I may "Second" this ^ I didn't like "Manual Deadeye Targeting" at first either... but once you get used to it, it eliminates 'when an animal changes direction and your Deadeye targets some random part of the animal' - it really gives you nice control over it AFTER you get used to it, heh.

If it helps (you or anyone else), try adjusting your Mouse Sensitivity. Most mice setups Default to 'accelerated' mode, where if, you move your mouse say, one inch to the left; the on-screen cursor moves over one inch - but if you move your mouse one inch to the left really fast; then the on-screen cursor moves way over to the left really far - THAT is "accelerated mouse sensitivity" and while it can help sniping and smaller movements because it slows down when you do, it mostly janks up fast combat where you want to whip the mouse to where you want it, then stop it and shoot [it's harder to do that with mouse acceleration on].

If I may show my age a bit (and boast a little heh), I played around with this way back in UT99/Q3 [UnrealTournament99/Quake3] days and won some local LAN tournaments after I figured the above out. If I move my mouse one inch to the left, it really and only, goes one inch to the left on-screen; no matter how fast or slow I move it.
I personally prefer it and it doesn't matter how fast the fight gets, I know I can whip my wrist and do a 180 or stop it halfway and look in the direction I wanted. It's a personal thing, it might not be for everybody (some modern day tournament players like the accelerated slowdown for sniping/etc) - but give it a shot, it might make the Manual Targeting in Deadeye easier for you.

((To change this setting: if you can't find it in whatever Software came with your Mouse, or if none did, in Windows 10, it's under SETTINGS > DEVICES > MOUSE > Additional Mouse Options > Pointer Options Tab > Enhance Pointer Precision [take the checkmark out for non-accelerated movement]))

HTH a bit anyway GL

yea thanks guys I didn't realize the key was q and now that it actually works I'm getting used to it. for some reason it still sometimes worked with g tho which is why I never questioned it. weird controls in this game sometimes lol

I see at least half the people talking about this on any post related to it hating the manual targeting, so it's amusing to see the people defending it acting like the idea of it being better in manual targeting being a given. That's not how that works.

RDR is an okay game that made a lot of bad decisions and has a horrible PC port. Sorry I'm not licking RS's boots on this one :P

Going back to auto-tagging? Gross

Easily remedied by buying and using a PC controller instead of the terrible PC port. Took a bit to get used to, but infinitely better game with a controller.

> but infinitely better game with a controller.

sounds like you just might be inept with a keeb & mouse

Instead of tagging, just left click the head while in dead eye, enemy dead, no tag needed.

[Elriadon]

You can just hold down Q or whatever key is used for tagging and it will work the same as before so long as you keep holding the tag key.

there are some achievements tied to killing more than one animal during one dead eye use - I think most of the time you're spot on with not needing to tag, but sometimes you do.

one thing I just figured out is that only some guns and some ammo can use tagging - repeaters w/ standard ammo work, but a rifle wont tag more than one shot.
