Basics -Duels | Basics Red Dead Redemption Guide

Duels are quite difficult but I am sure that you will learn then very quickly:
1. First of all, camera will get close to the enemy and that will be the concentration phase. You can draw your weapon now, but the better option is wait with this.
2. After you will see a command to draw you weapon, the time will slow. To draw your weapon, use the right analogue stick - first move it down (to catch the gun) and then up (to start targeting).
3. The next thing is targeting. This is the most important moment: use right button (RB) and choose targets on your opponent. Try to make your choices when the viewfinder will be small and white.
4. Now shoot - bars on the right will inform you who has the better chance to hit (the player whose bar is more full will win). Remember that the smaller your viewfinder is during the targeting process, the bar is filling faster.
Note that when you are fighting with stranger, the best option is to unarmed them (you will gain more honor points).
