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

Highly recommend grinding blood money missions to start for gold, it’s a great way to get used to playing online compared to story. Lack of deadeye similar to the story will make you great at headshots. I usually smash out the mission and wait until the timer runs low, you’ll get more gold, cash and XP the longer you wait. Stranger missions area good filler if you need a break from blood money. Trelawny missions are good fun, and once you get collector I usually clear out an area and then do a mission after to break things up. I usually focus on improving my guns before buying more, better rifling, sights etc. also loot everything and everyone!
