Dead Eye on PC

[Harlequin]

I have leveled my Dead Eye to the level where brain and organs are shown. But I cannot mark targets. I tried to change the button for marking but that didn´t work either. Is there something different on PC than on console?

I always have to activate dead eye, shot and then activate dead eye again. This is especially bad as I cannot complete one of the hunting achievements like that.

I play on PC with an Xbox-style controller (Steelseries) and I was frustrated until I found the button for it. Once I activate Dead Eye, I hover my crosshair over my intended target, then press RB to mark as many targets as I want. Being in Chapter 3 is frustrating, as I was on the hunting challenge, and failed to hit more than one target in Dead Eye.

For PC, the default button should be Caps Lock\middle mouse button to activate, then use Q to mark targets. I just test this and it worked.

Right, default button is Q to mark targets in dead eye. But nothing happens when I press Q in dead eye.

First I thought I just haven´t had reached the necessary level but know I see the internals in glowing red when I´m in dead eye and hover over targets, yet no marking possible.

Try to restart or load an earlier save game.
This should clear the issue.

Also: when you zoom/ look through a scope, marking will never work.
SO if you're scoping, than that is the "problem".

I hope this helps you man, nothing as annoying as a not working feature.

Yep, that´s it. No scope and marking works fine. Thanks a lot again.

Nothing happens when I press Q.. I'm at level 28.. Is that my issue?

Have you done the Scarlet Meadows train mission with John, Charles, and Sean yet? You can't paint targets with Q until after that mission.

I didn't even realise you could get Dead Eye to do that, need to play more RDR2!
