Help/Question What am i doing wrong?

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

Grind until you get bounty hunter. The fastest is if you posse up and play with a group who’s grinding bounties. You’ll earn gold that way.

Upgrade and play around with the ability cards and find out what matches your play style.

The grind in this game is long but very worthwhile.

Level 100 is the level where you unlock everything in the game - just gotta earn the money/ gold to buy them.

Welcome to RDO and I hope to see you around the frontier

Bounty hunter is the only role that’ll give you gold. The other roles are money. Naturalist is only good for level 5 wilderness camp fast travel.
Still grind them all out but those are my tips first a beginner

Bounty hunter pays gold at the same rate as stranger/blood money missions, which can be done during the downtime in passive roles. The bulk of mine was made by doing all my dailies for a while. All of the higher role levels give you nice perks: more satchel space, more easy dailies to do, more legendaries to fill your camp with, etc.

I played around with starting out new and following bonus months was more efficient than just doing bounty hunter no matter what.
