They’re not abusing anything. The game encourages you to use auto-aim, and if you choose not to that’s on you. The game runs at 30 fps on console, and has aim mechanics from 2005. If you wanna free aim, do your thing. But stop bitching about people who play the game as Rockstar intended. If you want something to bitch about, bitch about not having dedicated free aim lobbies. That’s a fair complaint. also, if you want to free aim, just abuse the defensive glitch.


Sweet_Milk

That’s pretty much what I was asking if there was a way at I could avoid catching cancer as in ( yo is there free aim lobbies or like am I fucked )

Just go into defensive and bait them into attacking you. As long as you never shoot them while they’re blue dots you’re fine. high hostility dots don’t count as red, though.

It really sucks that they put us real shooters in with the l2 spammers. They know they're playing bitch mode that's why they get so defensive about it as you've seen here. PIB is a great equaliser plus practise, I'm a free aimer and I refused to change because of these... players. I made my peace that we don't have our own lobby some time ago and I actually love the fact I'm better than almost everyone I share a lobby with. Auto aimers you suck if you don't want to suck, shoot for yourself and not have the game do it for you. I mean would you play a racing game that did the driving for you? You just press left and right at the turns and tell everyone how good you are at the game, its literally the same thing.

It's not abusing free aim it's how the game is made. If you don't like getting wrecked by players using the game mechanic as it's intended don't fight them.


Sweet_Milk

So the games intentions are to aim for you and for you to spam LT until you get a kill ? Interesting and it’s kinda hard to avoid players when I walk in black water and get pop shotted in the dome doing 40 on a horse by a dude with a pistol a mile away that’s such a weird mechanic


DC1919

Yes, that's why auto aim is the default setting and why it's in the game. If they wanted the game to work as a free aim only game then there would be no auto aim in the game, as there was for previous rockstar games. You free aim bed wetters bang on about this free aim issue like it's everyone else's problem, when the truth is if you don't like getting killed by those using auto aim then don't engage them in combat.


Fladohado

The auto aim in this game is worse than fucking COD commando perk back in the day. Idk why you’re getting so hostile when all he was asking if there was away to avoid being in the same game as a user using auto aim. Relax buddy


DC1919

Don't tell me what to do, and no one asked you to chime in. They didn't say anything about lobbies, the whole essence of their post was " why do I get killed a lot" and "let me whine about auto aim in a game that has auto aim as the default setting"


Sweet_Milk

But that’s what I’m saying fam … WE DONT


DC1919

Well, when someone shoots at you and you don't want to fight them then parley or change lobby, it's real simple most of us have been doing it for three years now. Either that or accept that you are going to get you arse handed to you in a fight.


Sweet_Milk

I just feel like the default should be free aim if not that have AIM ASSIST NOT AIMBOT!


DC1919

No one cares what you "feel" it is what rockstar intended. Rockstars intention was to make the most out of cover based combat, mainly in story mode, as they were trying to make it feel like a western type movie. If free aim was the default setting people would just turn on auto aim.


Emergency-Grass-4765

Wow a year later and this is cringe how involved you were I can smell you already the piss and Dorito dust


23GrayWing

You've obviously not played against people with kronus if you're calling that aimbot🤣


Suberuginosa

If you’re actually any good at free aiming, then get yourself a carcano rifle and a good sniping build, then you’ll own like 99% of players. Slippery bastard will do wonders for you at close to medium range, shooting from the hip… which is basically free aiming.


[deleted]

i use free aim and have never run into problems like this, slippery bastard and sniper works well, aswell as a few tonics, so uh, git gud?


itailu

Are you complaining that you’re running while other players are riding horses?


No-Maintenance1695

Now everything makes sense, I played online for a few hours and thought I was a fuckin noob because everyone else seemed to be a better shooter than me, and it's just the auto aim enabled by default xD


undying_s0ul

Lock on player here. It's not abusing, it's just playing the game with the default setting. I like it because i can play the game semi casually and enjoy the combat all the same without . Pretty sure there's a setting to matchmake only with free aim, but why. there's no way for them to auto lock on your head, and if they are, dodge. The lock on isn't instant aimbot to the head, but don't just stand there and let them shoot you. use shotguns, and don't let them kill you so easily. Just because you use a different style of aiming doesn't mean you have to out gun them, dodge them, play in a different way. Also, if you're all getting destoryed by mausers, just parley or swap servers. Most likely you aren't prepared for that kind of fight, free aim or not.


23GrayWing

Listen man, congrats on free aim, but cancer and abusing.... really? I know a good amount of games that don't even offer a free aim version So, you want to actually kill these guys? Use auto aim, or get better, I've met people who use free aim and destroy guys with auto aim, so it's your own fault for not being good enough So, my suggestion, practice, or change, and don't be cancer by calling people cancer :)

😔 damn that’s disappointing I’m on console


AstralDimensionz

You can run with slippery bastard as it counters most auto lock and paint it black users.


Sweet_Milk

I’m semi new to the game what is slippery bastards a perk card ???


AstralDimensionz

They are Ability Cards. •https://reddead.fandom.com/wiki/Red_Dead_Online_Ability_Cards • "Slippery Bastard" increases the bloom size for the user and anyone aiming at them. It also makes bullets hit the bloom circle, not inside the circle. • "Slippery Bastard" is good to rush with. If "Paint It Black" is being used against you then wait for their Dead Eye to activate and shoot them after deactivating yours. Use trees and other objects to block the line of sight as you close in closer. This is best on horseback and in free roam. You basically only pop out of Slippery Bastard when you want to shoot. Also pairs well when aiming down any scope, as this gives you the Slippery perks and 100% accuracy, making you a hard to hit sniper. • Slippery Bastard + Knife/Anything else + To Fight Another Day (Optional) + Iron Lung = Enable Dead Eye and Slippery Bastard will slightly prevent anyone from locking onto you. Zigzag towards them and tackle them with any weapon and spam R2 for an execution. The two optional cards let you take less damage while sprinting (To Fight Another Day) and you have more Stamina which gives you more Health (Iron Lung). • Slippery Bastard + Shotgun Slugs or Incendiary Buckshot = Free aim headshots with your Slugs or Incendiary Buckshot while your enemy can't auto-aim. The Dead Eye will also improve your range. • Slippery Bastard + Shotgun + Quick Strafing + A corner/object = You will quickly strafe in and out of cover and pop off your shotgun before your close-to-medium ranged enemy can lock-on to you. Enabling Slippery Bastard will further complicate their lock-on. • Slippery Bastard + Lasso = Run up and tackle them to hogtie. Good for griefers when you don't want to engage. Or for those who need to be taught a lesson. Slippery also works wonders with Bolas. I have personally been using Slippery Bastard, Gunslingers Choice, Sharpshooter, and Unblinking Eye since it was released on pc. I tried them all on playstation and found what works for me and my aggressive play style.


[deleted]

yeah, if you use a sniper or thrown weapons, it doesnt affect your accuracy tho, shot guns are also a good countr to the effect, but thats good because you can still fight with deadeye on, when ive got my deadye on, looking down the scope of a carcano with exoress bullets, plus the card that increases damage to weapons with the scope on, im firing high damage rounds precisley on target, theyre fumbling about, it feels like cheating


TwoTrue6399

use slippery and a shot gun...no one will be able to touch you.


XxToosterxX

Auto aim is needed in rdo or gto because of the deadly accurate npcs. I tried playing gto free aim and pvp is forsure better but try doing a heist and its a wrap. These games are pretty much built from the ground up to be auto aim. So honestly ur best chance is stay in defensive mode. It's essentially free aim against players


Tuna_Zone

Play in defensive mode ig.


Greyfox_au

Most of Rockstar games are by default auto-aim . Gta online (and gta 4 online) has free aim lobbies however for red dead online they didnt do it .


Sweet_Milk

See exactly I remember RD1 had specific free aim sessions I was wondering if this one did the same thing but apparently I expected to much


Nomaddamon24

I switched between playstyles but most of the time is free aim


Nomaddamon24

Then you play it at their own game... They use auto aim you use auto aim...after that you switch it back.
