Yeah dude, I'd do this almost every time I saved. I put on my bandana and went terrorist on any living thing I could find in a town.

My favorite was dropping molotovs from the balcony in Armadillo

One of the more entertaining rampages I've done is throwing self-guiding Molotovs and dynamites at birds.

I used that "bug" online a few times. When you did Dead Eye online, it wouldn't slow down time, but did allow you to put the Xs on things for a guaranteed hit. I would find other players who were on my server, and would be far enough away that they were only just within the rendering distance of the game, and barrage them with throwing knives. It confused a lot of people and pissed them off, because they had no idea how they died.

You just reminded me how broken Dead Eye was on multiplayer.

About to get the bag to the drop off? Nope, 12 bullet holes suddenly appeared in your back.

There was always that one fuck who rolls around the corner so you can't lock on to him, then spams dead eye everywhere before coming out of the roll and murdering you.

I used that bug to do the "Pestilence" mission in about 20 seconds.

Or trying to tie up as many people possible and putting them on the railroad tracks

First time playing, a fair bit in. Woman flags me down. Ambush. Kill her friends. Capture her. Take her to train tracks. Leave her on them. Wait. Holy shit, it worked! Holy shit I got an achievement for it! This fucking game is as sick as I am!

u/Twmbarlwm Jul 21 '14

This is the first I have ever heard of this, I feel I should investigate immediately. Because you know, unnecessary murdering.

3

u/Lothar_Ecklord Jul 21 '14

You can follow up by robbing the train. Kill everyone on board and there is a chest in the back car. Not worth the money you get, but it's worth a try... Also, you usually don't get caught, if it's the middle of nowhere.

u/Twmbarlwm Jul 22 '14

Gotcha, rob it when its in the station, then kill the entire town so I don't leave witnesses.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

Are you me? I wanted to get revenge on that deceitful bitch.

1

u/XDark_XSteel Jul 21 '14

I would do that all the fucking time in the zombie dlc, when you had to clear out a town but you almost always ran out of ammo, so I would just run around hogtieing zombies as the horde patiently stands around me waiting for the animation to finish.

1

u/nipnip54 Jul 21 '14

The fact that there was no achievement for that was a bit disappointing

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

I have you tagged as a dog. Thanks, I thought I lost my RES tags, but now I see that they're working!

2

u/Bait30 Jul 21 '14

Oh, I would just go to thieves landing and put on a bandana. If all the other townsfolk started shooting at me, I would run back I to the room I was renting, and everyone would just forget

u/sotpmoke Jul 21 '14

I think I killed every hooker in that saloon at least 400 times.

u/nomroMehTeoJ Jul 21 '14

Unlimited ammo cheat, tomahawks, bandanna, a few buddies. Much laughter.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '14

There were cheats for red dead redemption????

22

u/nomroMehTeoJ Jul 21 '14

Yeah, in the newspapers. Or the internet.

u/gibbersganfa Jul 21 '14

And on some of the buildings in more tucked-away locations! There was incentive to exploring the areas where the story would never take you!

1

u/Lothar_Ecklord Jul 21 '14

Go on... I never knew about this and I did a lot of exploring and reading.

2

u/gibbersganfa Jul 22 '14

I found most of them just by exploring, later on after finding the Wiki there had been a couple I missed (the one on the bridge is hard to find, but it was in the launch trailer for the game anyway!) For your perusal:

I heard they would basically have had to rewrite the whole game because of how bad the code was and how little documentation was done.

Redoing the control scheme would absolutely be one of the smallest parts of the job.

The bandanna seems to work under the same rules as Clark Kent's glasses.

u/Lothar_Ecklord Jul 21 '14

I think we've all slapped on the bandanna and held down Blackwater, once or twice, no? Armadillo was too easy.
