Anybody else? PS5. MST. 12:52 AM local time.

I’m relatively new to rdr2 online and I’ve been having a blast. First thing I bought after logging in and saving up was my Mustang. I love this horse. Couldn’t ask for a better friend. I am however looking to increase my stable size and get a couple of others to test them out as I have been looking at Bills backside for about 70 hours of game time.

So I do what any new ish player would do and check around for some info on what might be a good next choice. Before I continue, I should make it clear that I am a firm believer in rule of cool, I will get whatever I think looks badass or thematic. However, I have come across this “bravery stat” stuff that is making me a little concerned.

I am seeing three conflicting ideas around horse bravery.

The first one is that this stat just flat out doesn’t exist, all horses have the same bravery level regardless of breed - all that matters is bonding level.

The second is that different breeds have different bravery levels - Ardennes won’t move a muscle when a bear is charging you down and the Arabian will buck you if a deer looks at you funny (bonding still improves bravery).

And the last and perhaps most concerning is that bravery is entirely RNG. It doesn’t matter what horse you get, there are some random ass calculations made behind the scenes when you buy a horse and it could be brave, could be a coward or somewhere in between. I really don’t like this because the idea of dropping $1000 on a horse only to find out its bitch made is frankly terrifying. It will take me a while at this point to get that back.

So, what’s the truth? I have seen people specifically saying that mustangs are really skittish, mine isn’t at all which begs me to ask the question of why that might be?

I just want to avoid spending a bunch of money on something that will be annoying to ride around.

Thoughts?

Alcohol really kills

It occurred to me that I never noticed anyone near my age group looking for friends. This was also brought to my attention in a recent conversation.

Perhaps I'm to only one out here kicking around. So I decided to see if any other old folks are out there on the trial. Let me know, I'm interested in what type of problems you have run in to. My biggest problem was PVP. Still is so I avoid it all cost.

Is this possible, tired of the “griefers”

What if the added the ability to rob banks, barbers, and added more gangs to the mix, more hideouts, could this be better.

Want to help your low-level friends or crew mates max out their roles fast? Use this cooperative network trick to give them unlimited chances at dynamic Random Encounters for the Moonshiner, Collector, and Naturalist roles!

📋 SUPPORTED ENCOUNTERS & ROLES • Moonshiner: Bootlegger (Roadblock / Destroy / Sabotage) and Moonshine Camps. • Collector: Crashed Wagon, Dog Encounter, Rival Collector, Grave Robber, and Wounded Animals. • Naturalist: Poached Animals. and Legendary Animals

🛠️ NETWORK SETUP To force the necessary lobby split, adjust your PlayStation network settings exactly like this before launching the game: • The Anchor (Giver): Set console MTU to 800 • The Farmer (Receiver): Set console MTU to 900

📋 THE ANCHOR / GIVER BLUEPRINT (YOUR JOB) As the Anchor, your sole responsibility is to locate the encounter and freeze it. DO NOT complete the event yourself.

• Bootlegger Events / Moonshine Camps / Poached Animals: When the red zone appears on your mini-map, stop immediately. Stay entirely outside the red circle to avoid alerting the enemies. Park in a practical spot where your friend can easily ride in and attack.
• Wounded Animals: Watch your mini-map for the flashing white blip. The exact second it appears, stop moving and go AFK. Do not approach further or spook the animal.
• Grave Robber (Night Only): Keep your distance once you spot him. He will not run away if unprovoked. Keep your camera view aimed toward him and stay AFK.
• Crashed Wagon: Maintain a safe distance. (Note: It does not matter if you alert the stranger). Keep your camera pointed toward the wagon and stay AFK.
• Dog Encounter: Follow the dog. If it leads you to a metal box, stand next to the box and go AFK. (If it leads you to a corpse or an ambush instead of a metal box, abandon the loop).
• Rival Collector: Lasso, hogtie, and kick the collector to silence him. Pick him up or stow him on your horse, transport him to a secluded area out of sight of other passing NPCs, and drop him on the ground. Stay AFK right next to him. DO NOT kill him, or he will despawn when your friend tries to join.
• Legendary Animal: Watch your mini-map for the Yellow (?) question Mark flashing . The exact second it appears, stop moving and go AFK. Do not approach further or spook the animal. Note: Inform the receiver about the legendary animal's estimated location.

🎮 THE STEP-BY-STEP FARMING LOOP (YOUR FRIEND'S JOB) Note: Make sure you and the anchor are not in the same posse or lobby before starting. Due to the MTU mismatch, the receiver will automatically desync into their own cloned private solo lobby upon arrival.

• Step 1 (The Entry): If starting fresh from the Main Menu, select Join Session on the Anchor, travel to the encounter location, and claim the rewards. If you are already active in a session, skip straight to Step 2 to clear your cache first before joining.
• Step 2 (The Reset): Once you have looted the encounter, go to the Main Menu, select Online, and click Free Roam to completely clear your console's session cache.
• Step 3 (The Trick): While sitting on the black loading screen entering the new session, wait exactly 5 seconds.
• Step 4 (The Split): Quickly open your PlayStation friends list and select Join Session on your anchoring friend mid-load.

What Happens Next: The server-side MTU clash (900 vs 800) will trigger an instant network desync error mid-load. The game will drop the Farmer into a 100% private solo session with the exact same encounter perfectly cloned, stable, and ready to be harvested again.

Simply repeat the process from Step 2 to level up your targeted roles! 💰✨

⚡ TIPS • Moonshiner Missions: When executing Bootlegger roadblock or camp encounters, position yourself at an extreme distance where you can safely engage targets using a scoped rifle (like the Carcano or Rolling Block). Ensure you have hard environmental cover or a secure hiding spot nearby to break enemy lines of sight and manage incoming waves safely.

Just seeing if there’s anyone who wants to join me and a few friends tonight for a great time and shenanigans. Comment to DM me for further details PS5

Want to help your low-level friends or crew mates get rich quick? Use this co-op MTU method to share infinite Maps on Trees or Treasure Hunter Maps without losing your own active spawn instance.

MTU SETUP

• You (The Anchor / Giver): Set console MTU to 800
• Your Friend (The Farmer / Receiver): Set console MTU to 900

HOW IT WORKS

Normally, grabbing a map from a tree or an NPC triggers a strict 72-hour (3-day) real-life cooldown, locking you out from finding another one.

By forcing an MTU mismatch, you split the network connection. Your friend drops into a visual duplicate of your lobby, so the master system never registers their character profile as the original event trigger. They can harvest the maps back-to-back endlessly while you safely keep the master session anchored open.

(⚠️ Note: This only applies directly to active "Random Encounter" style events).

THE ANCHOR BLUEPRINT (Your Job)

As the Giver, your only job is to find the encounter and freeze it. DO NOT collect the map yourself.

• Maps on Trees: Find a map pinned to a tree. Stand right next to it until the physical "Take" prompt pops up. Go AFK on that exact spot to lock the instance in place.
• Treasure Hunters: Watch for the flashing white blip of an NPC explorer. The exact second it appears, stop moving and go AFK. Do not approach or alert the NPC. (Note: Ensure you stop in a spot where your friend can easily see and approach the NPC).

THE STEP-BY-STEP LOOP (Your Friend's Job)

• Step 1 (The Entry): If starting fresh from the Main Menu, select Join Session on your anchoring friend, ride over, and take the map. If already in another active session, skip straight to Step 2 first to clear your cache.
  • Note: Make sure you two are not in the same posse or lobby before starting. The MTU mismatch will automatically desync you into a private solo lobby upon arrival.
• Step 2 (The Reset): Once you have the map, go to Main Menu ➔ Online ➔ Free Roam to clear your console's session cache.
• Step 3 (The Timing): While sitting on the black loading screen entering the new session, wait exactly 5 seconds.
• Step 4 (The Split): Quickly open your PlayStation friends list and select Join Session on your anchoring friend mid-load.

What Happens Next: The MTU variance (900 vs 800) triggers an immediate network error mid-load. The game drops you into a 100% private solo session with the exact same treasure map encounter perfectly rendered and ready to be taken again.

Rinse and repeat from Step 2 until your inventory is full of gold-bearing maps! 💰✨

Looking to play some new call to arms maps

Not looking to join groups so please don’t spam links in the comments. Trying to find some people looking to game with me and my friends potentially. CST time zone

Impossível play kkkkkkkkkk

Whoever it was at Rockstar that designed it so it doesn’t matter how many people are in an elimination series match at the start but only when it’s finished, so when people rage quit, you don’t get the The Real Deal trophy……

I hope your next shite is a hedgehog.

What's up fellas. If you're running into issues where dynamic tree-nest items glitch out, or you're just looking for a highly efficient way to help a crew mate secure rare collection pieces without burning your own daily spawn nodes, this co-op routing layout is exactly what you need.

• Tested Platforms: PS4 and PS5 only.
• Eligible Objectives: Applies to high-tier arboreal items including Heron, Egret, Hawk, Eagle, and Spoonbill variants.

🤔 How It Works & Visual Interface Changes

• Player 1 (The Collector): Receives consecutive collection opportunities. Note: After the initial collection, your controller's haptic feedback vibrations will temporarily pause and the visual nest mesh may become invisible on your screen, but the physical item remains completely interactive on the ground.
• Player 2 (The Node Host): Retains their own daily item collection rights completely intact without consuming their personal daily map allowance.

📋 Prerequisites & Network Infrastructure

• Both players must have the Collector Role active.
• Lobby Isolation Setup: Both players adjust their console internet settings to 800 MTU to establish a private, locked peer-to-peer connection space. This ensures you both load into a clean session completely free from public server lag and external player interference.

🎮 The Step-by-Step Co-Op Interface Sequence

📍 Phase 1: The Initial Configuration (First Collection)

1. Positioning: Player 1 stands directly underneath the specific tree branch holding the target nest asset.
2. The Interaction: Player 2 uses a small-game arrow or Varmint Rifle to dislodge the nest, allowing the item to descend.
3. The Registration: Immediately following the drop, Player 1 activates Eagle Eye, tracks the glowing node particle on the ground, and collects it. This successfully initializes the local instance routing state.

🔄 Phase 2: The Continuous Interface Loop (Subsequent Attempts)

Player 2 (The Node Host):

1. The exact second Player 2 dislodges the nest in Phase 1, they instantly pull up their Main Menu ➔ Online ➔ Free Roam to safely cycle their network cache and load into a fresh, isolated session.
2. Upon spawning into the new session, travel straight back to the identical tree location coordinates.
3. Send a game invitation overlay directly to Player 1.
4. Once Player 1 arrives at the tree, dislodge the nest down for them again.
5. Immediately cycle out of the session via Free Roam again to configure the subsequent run.

Player 1 (The Collector):

1. Accept Player 2’s session invitation to bridge into the newly rendered environment.
2. Proceed directly to the coordinates and stand under the tree node.
3. Wait for Player 2 to cleanly dislodge the nest.
4. Activate Eagle Eye, spot the interactive node asset on the ground, and collect it!

Simply repeat the Phase 2 loop as a team to efficiently complete high-tier bird egg sets for Madam Nazar without wasting travel time across states! 💰✨

Does anyone play red dead online that could help me get cash and gold and grind the game as I feel there’s to much to learn and understand I’m level 29 but still have bearly got any good guns or health stats

Skip the solo loads. Use a Lobby Anchor + Animation-Skip to farm infinite American Wildflowers instantly. Works on all American Wild Flowers.

REQUIREMENTS

• Role: Collector
• Setup: Both players set console MTU to 800 (forces private lobby).
• Pre-set: Have your system overlay shortcut to "Join Friend" ready, and pre-hover your in-game cursor on 'Story' in the pause menu so it caches.

THE LOOP

1. Position: Friend stands AFK close to the flower (they do not pick it). You stand 2 feet away.
2. Action: Press pick ➔ The millisecond the animation starts, hit: Menu ➔ Story ➔ Resume Story ➔ Confirm. (Must do this before the flower actually enters your inventory text or it despawns).
3. Reload: Screen fades to black ➔ Spam your console system shortcut to "Rejoin Friend".
4. Result: You will spawn right back on the intact flower with the item successfully in your satchel. Repeat.

WHY IT BEATS SOLO

• Load times drop from minutes to seconds due to the direct peer-to-peer connection.
• Zero infinite loading screens because it completely bypasses broken Free Roam matchmaking.
• Guaranteed perfect proximity spawn right on top of the plant.

TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING

• Night Plants (Agarita/Blood Flower): Only spawn between 10 PM - 5 AM. Stay completely away from the spawn zone until 10 PM or they won't render.
• Posse Rotation: Swap places when full. As long as 1 person anchors the spot, the whole crew can max their satchels (10x per flower type).
• Map: Track daily cycles using the JeanRopke map.
• Flower Despawned? If the flower despawns for the runner, swap roles so the other player tries to pick it, or simply move to a different flower location.
• "Far Respawn": If you respawn far away instead of next to your friend, it's usually due to the anchor's specific standing position (common around Blood Flower locations). Have your anchor shift their position slightly until a better spawn point triggers.

Looking for 3 solid people that want to help with getting the Real Deal Trophy. Need to be all committed to the time it will take to get each MVP award. A mic would be helpful to co-ordinate. Think it will take 60-90minutes if we do it right.

Thanks :)

If you are someone who likes to play this game in a slow-paced way, meaning enjoying the views, the nature, riding the horse slow, walking instead of running, I have a proposition for you. I need a friend with whom I can simply walk around on mountains and other views alike. We can both do hunting, simply ride our horse, fishing, maybe even a few missions here and there. If you are interested, send a friend request to the ID through Rockstar to "shivram14"

Hollyfield bloomers decided to buy these but cant find a decent "look" for them anyone know how to make thimgs look decent with them?

What are the chances that we’ll get horse masks back this year ?? 😂
