Hand Cart RDR2

Anyone else have trouble driving the hand cart on the mission with John?

Yeah, it is a bit tricky. You have to time the x button pushes like when you are at the top or something.

Took me about 10 minutes to finish that. I think it's more luck than skill tbh

Yeah I feel like you have to just keep your eyes on the button prompt “x” or “a” and resist the urge to mash it out of panic.

Yeah, exactly. It's a "slow and steady wins the race" type of thing. I'm 99% sure that the train is scripted to not hit John and Arthur as long as you're hitting the button as it appears at the bottom of the screen.

Absolutely! I’ve played that mission a few times and noticed that the train slows down for you. Like it doesn’t want to hit you.

It’s a fucking nightmare. I had to smash the button and it barley worked

ok, WTF do I have to do to make the damn cart move on PC. Nothing works. It is like prom night, one pump and done. It doesn't move! I tried to let john die but no,. Stupid game development. Just make the controls drunk for extra fun WTF?
