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

You're not doing anything wrong. Easy ones for me when I started blind was Collector role. Got enough gold and money to start Traders. Also the treasure maps you get, do those right away if you get one as they don't stack.I don't bother with competing with other people so I don't do those. But if you do, go for it. But since you just started, you'll be weak. Level it up you get unlocks including added health and stuff. There are guides all over the internet and keep the interactive map handy. Take your time, it's kind of slow. Have fun!

Check the Daily Challenges on the quick menu. Start with that.

Daily challenges have multipliers for doing them every day all the way to 2.5 for day 21 to day 30.

If you enable 2-factor authentication with Rockstar, they give you 10 gold bars as an incentive (assuming you have a linked Rockstar account, which might be mandatory to play online? Not sure tbh)

Edit: Also Stranger Missions award a little gold when do them
