Why can they shoot me, but I can't shoot them?

[angelsdavid1989]

So I had this rude sad person following me around everywhere this morning. I was going about my business trying to complete a couple missions, but this guy kept chasing me. Following my blue dot I guess. So I was speed riding and he got up behind me. I stopped my horse and raised my bolt action rifle and squeezed the left trigger. No aim assist. Couldn't get a bead on him. Meanwhile, he one shots me. What's up with that?

Eh? Hmm. . .

Could very well be the Slippery Bastard card or whathaveyou. Next time something like that happens, watch your radar or whatever to see if people's little blip change to the Deadeye icon.

Personally I use it often, and love when people ACTUALLY miss when I'm using it without really moving much. XD

[angelsdavid1989]

And now that I think of it... I also was sitting there on my horse looking at my map, and some idiot came up and head shot me while I was doing that. I thought when we had the map open we turned that partially invisible blue color and couldn't be shot? Guess we can be though.

I can rarely dead eye because my dead eye is always drained it seems and paint it black is harder still. Squeezing that left trigger just puts the aim right there and so that is what I use the majority of the time, but this time, for whatever reason, it would not auto aim at all.

Nah, when you open your map, you stand around lookin' all normal.
I wish it used that animation of like, looking at a treasure map or something so people could understand you're in a menu when you're looking at it. D:

Hmm.

It's weird to explain, but your cores entirely flush out when you log off. So when you log back in, your deadeye is typically going to be entirely drained every time; to my knowledge this also happens whenever you switch freeroam session. It's relative to the type of tent you have in your camp, or somethin' like that.

I use a mouse and keyboard, so I hardly even know how regular autoaim works! But to my knowledge, Slippery Bastard pretty much negates all forms of autotargetting. I stopped using PiB because I'm just a really bad shot usually, and with `everyone` using it, gunfights just turn into me getting out-gunned. :O I'm -strongly- under the assumption that duder-man who you couldn't hit was just using it.

Hmm, ok. So now my ears perk up a bit. You saying I can get rid of paint it black, which I caint use anyhow cuz my fingers just won't do all the acrobatics, and swap it out for another one called slippery bastard. I have not seen this yet. How do I get it?

The same way you got Paint it Black; you open up that little menu or whathaveyou.

If your aim is already relatively bad, though, just understand that it isn't the ultimate life saver for little more than funny tricks, or as a sort of cover if you're making a tactical retreat or charging in to stab the enemy or something since it drains hella-fast. Since I started using it, I've noticed I like, hardly use Dead Eye at this point because of that. XD (It's good to not over-rely on something.)

Ah, scopes are also a hard counter; it just flat out doesn't work against them. :|

Slippery bastard unlocks at lvl 50. But if you play mostly freemode pve, don't bother with it. It's mostly used in pvp gamemodes. In freeroam there are better cards for pvp. But there is no point bothering with pvp either.

Eh? I somehow keep forgetting level is a thing. XD

But yeah, It's pretty great in PvE, I'd say. Unlike players, a lot of the NPCs don't just try to hard-scope you. So you can use it to cover yourself for stuff like getting away from them easily.

And with PvP, it's great if it sort of suits your playstyle. Like, you can still just as easily get shot in the face if you over rely on it. But using it in tandem with cover and dashing toward the enemy to tie them up or melee them or something; I honestly can't think of anything better at close range (without {ab}using tonics)! :D

If most people you encounter are using PiB, and you still somehow find yourself losing while you're using basically the same exact thing, it's on the individual to find the right card that works for how they play. Gotta mix up those tactics! :D

It probably is, so far as ease-of-use is concerned. You can probably kill 'em super quick all a'so.

hmmmm, if your ever on a server with me, NefariousGod, send me an invite, i mostly just chill, cause chaos and kill hackers... ill follow you around like a sad puppy and if this guy shows up ill pull off their noggin for ya

[NefariousPBO]

let me say this... because ive heard it many times... no ive no problem with hackers, games got a pay wall, so go ahead and hack it to hell, it deserves as much, its only when the hackers screw over non-hackers that i like to get involved and show them good ol' exploits are more than enough to take out a hacker. "hack depending"
