@@bruhlol9694 Yes, but only a tiny amount, takes really long. I didn't use ability cards that give you dead eye, like Live for the Fight, so that dead eye must have come from somewhere.
Another note about being attacked by a griefer and you have max defense in defensive mode: As soon as they damage you, you are free to kill them without consequences.
I want to find the brainlet designer who thought it was a brilliant idea to let people blow you up in defensive mode instead of just ghosting you like what does it add
@@tomwxrd2781 If you're in defensive and you attack first you drop instantly out of defensive and take normal damage. So the only way they're taking 8 rolling block rounds is if the sniper attacks them first. Meaning the defensive player isn't the one griefing
Nice to see a RDO youtuber put out some actual content and not a 10 minute clickbait video where they beg for likes for the first 3 minutes. It's got to be hard to come up with content for this game right now. Keep up the good work man.
Thankyou. You are literally the best. Not shouting. Not rushing. Straight to the point. Clear information. The accent makes it funny, but in the best possible way. Respect from Australia!!
I've been using these things since the beginning and proved that with a bit of free aim practice, you can't get griefed anymore. Good job for showing in details that how much of a difference it can make.
I've seen/faced a few griefers who hardly die, even when they're get shot with explosive bullets or dynamite (on the head). How comes? Because I don't trust those players at all. Even those who take many bullets to their head but don't have any damage at all.
Sly u are like a super hero on rdr2 when it comes to dealing with griefers I started using the carcano from watching your videos. Your videos are great. I have been able to deal with alot of griefers from your instructions. Thanks man you have changed my experience on rdr2. Thanks man 👍
I’d recommend putting on Gun Slingers choice for your duelies instead of Winning Streak, there is better accuracy and I’m not sure damage wise, but the accuracy itself is great for reducing bloom on Mausers.
@@benevolentdevil1164 yeah thank you. I did that about two weeks ago, works great. Im usually first or second in shootouts now. (Teams) top 5 all against all. Still get my ass kicked sometimes of course.
The best thing about a max defense loadout is if a griefer or pose shoots you while you're in defensive mode, you can slaughter them over and over again and remain in defensive mode. I've forced pose's to leave the session by just using 2 saw off shotguns
@Adam and Eve Stop your crying if you grief a person in defensive mode then be prepared to get your ass kicked over and over. maybe you might think twice next time and leave the person in defensive mode to play the game the way they want without have to deal with assholes like you
@@john_Reilly2027 it doesn't make sense, why a defensive mode should be a great option to fight against people? The more damage you can take need to be the same as the less damage you inflict. That unfortunately is not the case. You're not a griefer I can tell.. and it's ok, but defensive mode is abused by a lot of griefers, it can be activated in certain cases when your opponent is red. It means you can continue to shoot him over and over without being kicked out of def mode.
@@rumblyalpinerides he's only red because he has shot at you. Look I like to do my own thing in free mode, to be left alone. If a pose gives me shit for no reason then I fight back. If I want to play PVP I go into a showdown or whatever. If I minding my own business while fishing or hunting then I don't need some asshole coming up to me and firing dynamite at me when I have a fishing rod in my hand.
Thank you Mr Kat :) i allready made a defensive build need to try it and it is a fresh change from my slippery build!hope you are well and have a good week :D
I have been running paint it black for 1 year now, I have never changed that card but it has been letting me down as of lately. I appreciate this video though so thank you very much.
I miss the days when free roam pvp was not only long range sniper bullshit. It’s fun to snipe from time to time, but every fight ends in a sniper battle nowadays. I want to fight in all ranges. This sniper aim assist needs to go! But good video, keep it up :)
Negrito sniper assist ruined the game because now anybody with a half brain cell could use it, back in the day there wasn’t any aim assist on snipers it was all free aim
Just encountered a rank +400 griefer who tried to steal my delivery wagon. He was using your exact same max defensive build and he was using explosive ammo. It was a nightmare to fend off but once you touch your destination they can’t do anything to the wagon.
Struggle with free aiming ... guess I need to practice that. Wonder what the best substitute for sharp shooter would be, even though it probably wouldn’t be as good. Love these testing vids where you can see actual results and not just someone’s opinion. Love this channel
@Dax P I can’t say I have, but haven’t been practicing all that much either. It’s really hard to free aim with the Xbox controller. I went after a legendary last night (fox) and that damn thing was so hard for me to chase down and kill. I eventually killed it but not without a long chase filled with me cussing at it the whole time.
We tested this last night with Carcanos using both head and body shots with gold cores and lvl 2 tonics using express ammo. The defense build killed the damage build in 3 shots every time. It took 4 shots to kill the defense build. We ran this test about 20 feet apart since the Carcano has no damage reduction over distance. Honestly, the sniper rifles need to have damage reduction over distance added in order to balance them out a bit. When you see every player in the game using the same weapons and tactics then that's a good clue that the weapon needs to be nerfed.
@@MySipuli depends on how you look at it. Imo the defense build is a lot easier to hit as you have to walk for slow and steady, and focus fire can strafe much faster. I personally run the damage build in defensive mode against griefers
@@MadelineMysterious I feel you. I don't often use a sniper gun either. I have watched a lot of other videos by some of the best players in RDR2 online, and it does seem that the sniper gun can make a huge difference in combat if you become proficient with it. If you decide to develop skill in sniper guns, this card has a massive defensive bonus. Even without the sharpshooter card though, this ability card build that PVP Cat is suggesting for defense is pretty awesome! You could swap out the sharpshooter card for "strange medicine", or "kick in the butt". That way at least you would get some health everytime you land a hit on an enemy, or you could get some increased deadeye every time they land a hit on you. Either of those cards is helpful in a defensive tank build.
@@MadelineMysterious You mentioned that you think that the Rolling Block is kind of a stupid gun... I totally agree haha! I prefer the Carcano Rifle over the Rolling Block for sure! It has a much, much faster fire rate than the Rolling Block, which makes all the difference in the world in combat!! Only PVP Cat does an awesome review on comparing those two sniper guns. He also does a video called: "Carcano sniper rifle, the best weapon in Red Dead online". You should definitely check it out... Getting good with these sniper guns can give you a huge advantage. I wasn't really feeling them at first either, but after giving them some practice they can be quite a bit of fun. I still use other guns a bit more often (when playing against NPCs etc), but I always have my Carcano in my weapon inventory for if I need it. It's also understandable if it's just not your cup of tea though 😀 Btw, one of my favorite things that I've bought in the game is the "Weapons Locker" camp upgrade (you can unlock this upgrade through the Trader Role). I put all the guns that I don't like to use anymore into storage there. That frees up my weapon wheel to only have guns that I like to use in it. This can make a huge difference when some griefer shows up and I need to quickly swap my Bolt Action for my Carcano. It's great to get all of the early game guns out of my weapon wheel (like getting rid of: the cattlemen revolver, carbine repeater, and rolling block). It makes weapon swapping so much quicker and easier!!!
Christian Mark I’m great with any gun in any game the main problem is I like and prefer to use dual pistols in this game and different cards too. But when a griefer attacks I always have to switch to that dumb sniper rifle because the griefers are using it too. When I am in town I can lure pathetic snipers to me in tight areas to gun them down with ANY of the dual pistols and even hatchets but 9 out of 10 confrontations happen in open areas and I just am sick of needing in that situation to also use either sniper rifles to match that idiotic gameplay. In other shooters I can take snipers in open areas with anything, in this game (and because of the dumb crutch cards and tonics) to beat them I have to join them. I just hate it. I play rdr to chill, I don’t consider it a good or even okay shooter. The sniper rifles in modern shooters are better and have fall off and take more skill than rdrs spam crutched up by ability cards, sniper rifles. Sorry if it sounds like I’m angry, I’m not , just bored. I appreciate the response and the time you took, your a great person for it and I love those kinds of comments, but it’s not a question of skill or inexperience I just don’t like the guns and other things I mentioned. I play this for some reason but I’m not going to give up my time and enjoyment of specifically using pistols to play on some idiot griefers terms. My ideal load out that makes this content drought of a game fun are dual pistols( all of them , I store none in the weapons locker) or shotguns and I love the hatchets and running enemies over with my horse or melee fights. Those things bring me great joy. Sniper rifles performing like modern day weapons if not better (in games ) just bothers me and I don’t like rockstars weapon/item wheel either. Eating snacks in gta or downing potions in this is poorly setup. I don’t devote my time to this either since I play 5 other games and when not that guitar practice and some other hobbies. I love I can make own character in this, obviously being female dressing up characters and making outfits strongly interests me and I do like horses. I used to ride them when I was a preteen/teen. I love the environment in rdr too. There’s always a jerk around the corner though ready to spoil it and defensive mode is a joke on PC.
So in summary unless you’re a literal GOD at sniping you ain’t winning against someone w/full defense setup. Man I gotta save up for them cards now lol
I hope soon you'll do another one of these. I'm not only speaking for myself but also for those who I often play with: We think the cards or combinations don't work anymore (or what we're almost sure of at most: Cheaters). How can someone get 1 shot with a revolver from close range while the one that gets 1 shot use slippery, fool me once, iron lung, never without one and a level 2 or 3 tonic (I tried both, died both in the same scenario against some griefer).
I like Paint it Black, Strange Medicine, Kick in the Butt, and definitely Live for the Fight. I don't run into griefers very often though so it's nice to just have those for PvE fighting
Really hate how gun fights have become strafing sniper fights . Used to be that to snipe you had to actually be good . And if you were it was really rewarding if you can keep your distance and lure enemies to open spaces . Now ? Sniping is so simple everyone does it .
Defensive mode needs to be setup so that they cannot be damaged OR damage other players. People are abusing the shit out of this and then acting like they have skill until they are kicked out of it and then they get bodied.
Its offensive you only have 12k subscribers. Then you have guys like J STONE posting came content over n over and have 100k subs. Well, consider myself part of a luck few then. Bravo to this channel for ALL the fantastic content. 🤠🐎🦄
Paint it black plus Lancaster beats any loser with tank abilities :/ aim for the head express rounds. If that doesn't work pump shotgun with incendiary usually burns through quickly. I don't usually have trouble with griefers because I'm pretty good with headshots and it usually gets them to fuck off.
Hey mate!!! Thank you so much!! Definitely the only one who share intelligent/helpfull/ contain about Red dead online. Wow!!! This is what a youtuber is all about! 💎💎💎
I had a friend soak up 16 mauser headshots on a tier 2 tonic in defensive mode without any defensive cards, im guessing that number climbs to 25 with fool me once and iron lung and tier 3s.
I have a question about maximum protection build. Can you replace [Sharp Shooter] with either [Never Without One], [Of Single Purpose] or [To Fight Another Day]? Which one of those would give you the best protection? The problem with [Sharp Shooter] is that you have to be in the scope, that's if you're planning to shoot the griefer back. What if you just want to run away? Or does this card give a clear damage reduction over the other three options above? Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + Sharp Shooter Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + Never Without One Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + Of Single Purpose Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + To Fight Another Day
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH for the videos you do. I really wanna become a better player and players always kill me million times. Taking your advice and start practicing xxx
this might be your most usefull video. RDO is great, I like posse and my moonshine bar the most 3rd place my Lemar revolvers I dont feel good I I dont feel bad I feel really ugly. Im like 3:10 to Yuma, yes Im gonna die. What I do before is what counts.
I use carcano with sharpshooter and Landon's patience and even with a level 2 tonic 99% of the time its still a one shot. Also me and my girl tested winning streak for an hour and it seems to make no difference at all. We both have full health and both pur characters are overweight to help with damage reduction
Winning streak is best used on weak fast firing weapons, such as the Litchfield, dual double action, dual mausers etc. You won't see much of an improvement when using them on hard hitting weapons
Hi pvpcat. I have a stupid question (maybe). For PvP I read that a lot of players use Paint It Black as dead eye ability card. I read also that this ability card doesn't increase accuracy automatically. Accuracy is increased if the player is able enought to target propertly the enemy. The consequence is that user can shot in a more accurate way. But in my experience in short range PvP, players can kill you with a single shot in the head. I mean, when I'm covered and then I shot on a target, I click L2 + R3 + R2 at the same time, trying to target enemy's head in order to make a headshot. I don't see any "x" displayed on enemy's head because I can shot very fast. So the question is: in such a case, is paint it black really useful? Or I'm not playing in the right way? I mean, should I activate PiB before everything and then shot?
Just use slippery bastard with a sniper rifle and the sharpshooter card, defense and Damage at the same time :) and you would still have 2 free spaces for cards u want to use. buttt if theyre good with a sniper then this video is very useful for dealin with griefers
So as a low level in rdo i often have people trying to grief me, but little do they know i was a very good freemode sniper in gta online. 2 days ago i got attacked by a modder and his 2 friends, i destroyed the friends with a carcano and hogtied the shitty modder who struggles to kill me with god mode. I felt like the main character lmao, and the best part is that the 2 friends had sniper rifles and were behind cover while i was in an open field. And in this game shit like that happens basically every day
I am currently using SAS + IL + WS + NWO. Should I replace WS with FMO? The reason I have NWO is the fact it helps surviving headshots and at stage III it has damage reduction with a hat. The problem with this I see is that I don't have any damage cards and I like dual weilding with Navy Revolvers.
you have to play this game like it's the quick and the dead. be quick or be dead. so I always watch my radar and just keep it in mind that a battle can happen at anytime with anyone and yes sometimes I like to start them. nothing better than a good honest competition and yes there are players that have a supernatural ability in this game. Its just a game and it allows geeks and wimps to be tough guys. I accept that because I spend more time being a cool warrior in real life.
I acsedently killed s player while he was fishing first day of playing red dead online I thought it was a deer so I put a pelt on his corps hope he was ok with it
So what about reverse testing. How many shots does player with defense cards need to kill damage card player. Is it same number of shot when damage player kills defense card player (Im not talking about defensive mode just defense cards vs damage cards). If say I have 4 defence cards & other player have 4 damage cards and he needs say 5 RB shots to kill me, how many shots do I need to kill damage player using same RB? I ask, because depending on it, I may choose defence or damage build
I would imagine a full defense build would kill an offensive build since the offensive build has no defensive abilities to prevent getting one-shot by a sniper or shotgun. I run a kinda defensive build (slow and steady, peak condition, fool me once, strange medicine) and usually one-shot most players with the rolling block or the pump, two to three shots with the bolt action or litchfield.
When sniping look at your Minimap before you zoom in with your sniper rifle look in the direction of the player first then zoom in that way your looking in the vicinity it'll save you a few seconds of trying to look around for your opponent
Interesting, was there some kind of balance change? I used to pop people without lvl II tonic with one carcano express round and with tonic with one rolling block... I think split round? The craftable one. Oh and protects from lasso too? That's interesting
I tried the max defense build last night solo against a party of 4 griefers level 250-450. I crushed them. One guy messaged me "7 shots with a Carcano, how are you alive?". Of course, the answer is I subscribe to OnlyPVPCat and they don't.
@@PVPCat Yeah, but I've gotta spread the word about your channel so that one day you will be a millionaire. It's the least I can do considering all the great advice I've gotten from you.
Question about ability cards, while in a posse. Should each posse member, use different ability cards? If so, could you make a video on some examples of, posse ability card load outs. My last question is, can a person use PIB while using a Carcano or Rolling Block?
BTW - my opponent had a normal weight, so you can get even more protection if you character will have max weight
If you didn't know yet - those gun spinning tricks from the bounter hunty role give you a tiny amount of dead eye if you do them long enough.
@@WhiteSpermWhale wait spinning the guns give deadeye ?
that would have been my question^^
@@bruhlol9694 Yes, but only a tiny amount, takes really long. I didn't use ability cards that give you dead eye, like Live for the Fight, so that dead eye must have come from somewhere.
As far as I cant tell, there is no differences between the scopes. Long / short magnification is the same
The only youtube who covers the real questions
But even he doesn't know the answer to the one about game being fixed xD
red cat redemption better
I thought things like “GTA 6 CONFIRMED IN THIS EASTER EGG” were the real questions
Another note about being attacked by a griefer and you have max defense in defensive mode: As soon as they damage you, you are free to kill them without consequences.
thats the best part! and not lowering your honer!
Griefers should NOT be able to one-shot kill somebody in Defensive mode regardless whether or not they're using any tonics
Completely agree.
I want to find the brainlet designer who thought it was a brilliant idea to let people blow you up in defensive mode instead of just ghosting you like what does it add
Especially little double team bitches who grief and hide in camp to craft more explosive rounds
I would agree but some griefers who are trash use defensive to grief so they can end up taking more than 8 rolling block express rounds it’s too op
@@tomwxrd2781 If you're in defensive and you attack first you drop instantly out of defensive and take normal damage.

@crusher_ 80 it's a good thing
I made a Micah look alike character so a defensive build will be very needed to survive meeting people in free roam.
Love the new Red Dead Cat at 0:30
Even one year after your video: Thank you so much!
Great video Cat ,good info well explained👍🏻wow that bullet sponge 🧽build is crazy
what about never without one? it's gives damage reduction and blocks 1 headshot...and it's active all the time
I don't like NWO in this set up - 1st in defensive we don't care about HS, 2nd - if hat will drop we gonna get extra dmg
Yeah, once the hats off you take more dmg
Thank you for showing me how to be a true Russian bear
I hope soon you'll do another one of these. I'm not only speaking for myself but also for those who I often play with: We think the cards or combinations don't work anymore (or what we're almost sure of at most: Cheaters). How can someone get 1 shot with a revolver from close range while the one that gets 1 shot use slippery, fool me once, iron lung, never without one and a level 2 or 3 tonic (I tried both, died both in the same scenario against some griefer).
3:15 "that's what's she said" got me pretty good wasn't expecting that
Great informative vid as always keep up the great work :)
I like Paint it Black, Strange Medicine, Kick in the Butt, and definitely Live for the Fight.
I don't run into griefers very often though so it's nice to just have those for PvE fighting
Griefers have smol pp
Really hate how gun fights have become strafing sniper fights . Used to be that to snipe you had to actually be good . And if you were it was really rewarding if you can keep your distance and lure enemies to open spaces . Now ? Sniping is so simple everyone does it .
Defensive mode needs to be setup so that they cannot be damaged OR damage other players. People are abusing the shit out of this and then acting like they have skill until they are kicked out of it and then they get bodied.
Its offensive you only have 12k subscribers. Then you have guys like J STONE posting came content over n over and have 100k subs. Well, consider myself part of a luck few then. Bravo to this channel for ALL the fantastic content. 🤠🐎🦄
Fuck Jstone dude ruined this game. I actively try to hunt any glitchers i can get
Lol they took his channel down he only has like 12k people now
The fact that you guys hate J Stone proves you support Rockstar's shitty practices, and them not fixing this broken ass game.
Sup Bro hahah so why don’t u try to play the game how it’s supposed ? Instead looking for glitches
@@junkie666z7 WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN THAT?
I've been running max damage as of late, thanks for the videos these are great info
Keep up the good work bro ... great video before even finishing it yet..lol
Paint it black plus Lancaster beats any loser with tank abilities :/ aim for the head express rounds. If that doesn't work pump shotgun with incendiary usually burns through quickly. I don't usually have trouble with griefers because I'm pretty good with headshots and it usually gets them to fuck off.
You’re good with headshots? You’re using Paint it Black, it’s doing the work for you
@@-007-2 yeah, and?
@@Lupa-Vanth and that means that if you fight without PIB you would fail the headshots
once the online of this game gets more updates and exposure, more people will flock to your channel. Keep up the grind.
lmao
Sorry it wasn't clear what the max defense set up was.
Great vid never asked to click subscribe or hit any links! Just straight to the point what I want, great vid definitely helped me out
Well made and intuitive brother. Love your channel!
Great video. I think it took a lot of effort to do these video. Thank you , this is very helpful :)
Hey mate!!! Thank you so much!! Definitely the only one who share intelligent/helpfull/ contain about Red dead online. Wow!!! This is what a youtuber is all about! 💎💎💎
Did this get nerfed because I feel like it did now that I use it
I think it did because I was getting killed by a player using max dam
I had a friend soak up 16 mauser headshots on a tier 2 tonic in defensive mode without any defensive cards, im guessing that number climbs to 25 with fool me once and iron lung and tier 3s.
Kap
This channel got all the good stuff
I have a question about maximum protection build. Can you replace [Sharp Shooter] with either [Never Without One], [Of Single Purpose] or [To Fight Another Day]? Which one of those would give you the best protection?
The problem with [Sharp Shooter] is that you have to be in the scope, that's if you're planning to shoot the griefer back. What if you just want to run away? Or does this card give a clear damage reduction over the other three options above?
Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + Sharp Shooter
Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + Never Without One
Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + Of Single Purpose
Slow & Steady + Iron Lung + Fool Me Once + To Fight Another Day
I don't like NWO here for many reasons + Last time i checked SS was giving more reduction
Wait what happens if we use max defense and someone reports us
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH for the videos you do. I really wanna become a better player and players always kill me million times. Taking your advice and start practicing xxx
Thank you as always PVP cat!
I'm happy to see your Channel Growing great content brother
I've always wondered and never was able to figure it out, but how do you get the full potential on your guns?
Express ammo and components at the gunsmith.
Also the more you use your guns the better the stats
It frustrates me that some of my weapons get left on my horse
I'm confused what is the defensive build? is it the cards at 2:59 ?
this might be your most usefull video. RDO is great, I like posse and my moonshine bar the most 3rd place my Lemar revolvers I dont feel good I I dont feel bad I feel really ugly. Im like 3:10 to Yuma, yes Im gonna die. What I do before is what counts.
Great video. Great info here. Very useful
The video we have all been waiting for!
I use carcano with sharpshooter and Landon's patience and even with a level 2 tonic 99% of the time its still a one shot. Also me and my girl tested winning streak for an hour and it seems to make no difference at all. We both have full health and both pur characters are overweight to help with damage reduction
Winning streak is best used on weak fast firing weapons, such as the Litchfield, dual double action, dual mausers etc. You won't see much of an improvement when using them on hard hitting weapons
So much content man! Amazing amazing job!!!!
You just earned a new subscriber
Hi pvpcat. I have a stupid question (maybe). For PvP I read that a lot of players use Paint It Black as dead eye ability card. I read also that this ability card doesn't increase accuracy automatically. Accuracy is increased if the player is able enought to target propertly the enemy. The consequence is that user can shot in a more accurate way. But in my experience in short range PvP, players can kill you with a single shot in the head. I mean, when I'm covered and then I shot on a target, I click L2 + R3 + R2 at the same time, trying to target enemy's head in order to make a headshot. I don't see any "x" displayed on enemy's head because I can shot very fast. So the question is: in such a case, is paint it black really useful? Or I'm not playing in the right way? I mean, should I activate PiB before everything and then shot?
Just use slippery bastard with a sniper rifle and the sharpshooter card, defense and Damage at the same time :) and you would still have 2 free spaces for cards u want to use. buttt if theyre good with a sniper then this video is very useful for dealin with griefers
Excelent work, thank you, purrrr
So as a low level in rdo i often have people trying to grief me, but little do they know i was a very good freemode sniper in gta online. 2 days ago i got attacked by a modder and his 2 friends, i destroyed the friends with a carcano and hogtied the shitty modder who struggles to kill me with god mode. I felt like the main character lmao, and the best part is that the 2 friends had sniper rifles and were behind cover while i was in an open field. And in this game shit like that happens basically every day
I am currently using SAS + IL + WS + NWO. Should I replace WS with FMO? The reason I have NWO is the fact it helps surviving headshots and at stage III it has damage reduction with a hat. The problem with this I see is that I don't have any damage cards and I like dual weilding with Navy Revolvers.
I would replace WS with GC than
Thanks you from a frenchman who follows you. You are a bible for this game..congrat
Would love to see you cover/test the best cards for horse races.
Does 'To Fight Another Day' work while sprinting on a horse? Etc..
I was testing this cards is a few videos
@@PVPCat - which ones? I can't seem to find them..
Yo Cat
Nice guide bro
That's wassup!!!!👍👍👍
Awesome video bro!!
players with dynamite arrows: defensive build? ima do to you what freeza did to gokus planet.
You are the man OnlyPVPCat. Thanks for all the guides and knowledge. Dasvidaniya Amigo 🤕😄💩😵💀
Me having gotten INSANELY GOOD at rolling block even in close range, “high damage, yep.”
you have to play this game like it's the quick and the dead.
be quick or be dead.
so I always watch my radar and just keep it in mind that a battle can happen at anytime with anyone and yes sometimes I like to start them.
nothing better than a good honest competition and yes there are players that have a supernatural ability in this game.
Its just a game and it allows geeks and wimps to be tough guys.
I accept that because I spend more time being a cool warrior in real life.
thx for the info!!
May I confirm if Slow & Steady is stlll worth it nowadays along with the other mentioned defensive cards?
Still good
lol. I almost shit my pants at 00:30 That cat is awesome.
High Velocity for long long range. Express has a drop off distance.
Not on sniper rifles
I acsedently killed s player while he was fishing first day of playing red dead online I thought it was a deer so I put a pelt on his corps hope he was ok with it
Great video as usual, thanks 👍
Another great wideo. ;) Keep 'em coming!
subbed. very informative!
2:16 WHY choose Crcano over Rolling? can anybode explain?
It has better fire rate
So what about reverse testing. How many shots does player with defense cards need to kill damage card player. Is it same number of shot when damage player kills defense card player (Im not talking about defensive mode just defense cards vs damage cards). If say I have 4 defence cards & other player have 4 damage cards and he needs say 5 RB shots to kill me, how many shots do I need to kill damage player using same RB? I ask, because depending on it, I may choose defence or damage build
I would imagine a full defense build would kill an offensive build since the offensive build has no defensive abilities to prevent getting one-shot by a sniper or shotgun. I run a kinda defensive build (slow and steady, peak condition, fool me once, strange medicine) and usually one-shot most players with the rolling block or the pump, two to three shots with the bolt action or litchfield.
Your accent made me subscribe , the video was great too !
When sniping look at your Minimap before you zoom in with your sniper rifle look in the direction of the player first then zoom in that way your looking in the vicinity it'll save you a few seconds of trying to look around for your opponent
Wish I'd found this video a lot sooner. So far the only RUclipsr who's actually given a direct answer is this guy 😅😅😅
Pvp cat the goat of guides
Interesting, was there some kind of balance change? I used to pop people without lvl II tonic with one carcano express round and with tonic with one rolling block... I think split round? The craftable one.
Oh and protects from lasso too? That's interesting
I guess lvl 3 tonics were nerfed a bit last update, no other changes
I love this vídeos they help me a lot thanks :D
Very helpful Mr Cat. 👍
Sir i wonder if there is Spesephic order for the cards after the dead eye card?
Nice video! Thanks!
I tried the max defense build last night solo against a party of 4 griefers level 250-450. I crushed them. One guy messaged me "7 shots with a Carcano, how are you alive?". Of course, the answer is I subscribe to OnlyPVPCat and they don't.
Hm, ty but now they will sub too and grief more effectively :)
@@PVPCat Yeah, but I've gotta spread the word about your channel so that one day you will be a millionaire. It's the least I can do considering all the great advice I've gotten from you.
New mic for the PVPCat😼
Nope, old one + filter :) but I got the new one now
Question about ability cards, while in a posse. Should each posse member, use different ability cards? If so, could you make a video on some examples of, posse ability card load outs. My last question is, can a person use PIB while using a Carcano or Rolling Block?
Does the max damage cards you made does it work good while using reapeters
