How to enable autopilot in Red Dead Online

Hey! This guide will tell you how to enable an autopilot, which will help us to travel around the map. Let's begin!

What's an autopilot?

The map in Red Dead: Online is huge and very diverse. Initially we will be fascinated, but when we travel it several times (e.g. while doing a collector), a ride between distant locations will become tedious. Rockstar, however, allows us to use a kind of autopilot, which will 'drive us' to the designated place on the map.

How to enable it?

Very easily! Just stand on the road and sit motionless on a horse. Turn on the map (M key by default) and mark the point where we want to go.



Now hold the camera view change key (V key by default) ...



... and press / hold the sprint key (SHIFT key by default). The horse should follow the marked path until we reach our destination. During our trip we can add more markers on the map or go to kitchen to make a tea.

Important!

While traveling by this way, a horse can throw us off when it get scared of a predator or collides with passing NPCs. Then our character will not get on a horse automatically and will not continue the journey. We will just stay in the place of accident. We must also ensure that the game won't kick us due to inactivity (after 15 minutes).

i thought they removed that feature for some stupid reason, turns out i just didnt try standing still and holding shift lol
and to make it even better, you dont even need to hold shift down the entire ride, you can just hold it and then let go and your horse will do the rest

Not only that, if, for example, you're driving your Bounty wagon and you right-click to aim backwards at pursuing enemies, your wagon will automatically go into GPS autopilot mode without having to hold down V for cinematic mode first.

It works this way for all wagons following waypoints .

Of course, you could go into cinematic mode first, and then right-click aim -- but why waste precious seconds whilst you're getting shot up?

As long as you don't sit down again (e.g., to drive around slower wagons or a group of horsemen or open the map), it'll stay the course while you peel off your pursuers. I have aim on toggle so I don't have to hold down the right mouse button .

Playing the singleplayer before teaches you all this. But good for those, who don't.
Even though double the people finishing the online-tutorial completed the prologue.
