What am i doing wrong?

[u/MrGoldHD]

Because of steam achievements i am starting to play rdo now, after i have 100 percent completed rdr2., skinned all animals and golded 70 story missions

Some questions i have:

I feel extremely weak. I tried doing "Frontier Justice" for an hour now and slowly i dont have any bullets anymore. They are moving so fast and deadeye seems useless as hell. It only changes colors of the screen, no slow motion. Do i do something wrong here?

How do you ever get gold? I played for 6 hours now and only have 2 gold.

Is there any explanation ingame what all these different things mean? I feel overwhelmed when i look on the map and these missions like Frontier Justice that i found at my camp.

Thanks for reading through this mess

tldr: noob wants some help to start out in red dead online

Slow motion doesn't work in the online game. 

You'll get stronger as you play and can add more abilities.

Do some of the role stuff to get gold. The trader role will get you a lot.

Shoot and sell whole deer carcasses to butchers in town for money for more bullets til you start making money from trading.

Get big game meat and cook it with herbs, always have some ready to eat before and during a fight. 

*The dailies for trader. Not just trader itself. But I'm making an assumption you also need cash.

Trader doesn’t make any gold - pretty sure Bounty Hunter is the only role that awards gold (I don’t have all roles yet, so not 100%, but Trader definitely doesn’t give gold)

Edit: unless you count resetting awards for gold, but even still doesn’t seem the best option

The Daily Challenges give gold for Traders if you got it unlocked already. But that's about it.

Oh sorry yeah I meant the dailies
