docholoday Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Ok, I'm stumped. I've had two separate 'strangers' come up to me and ask for help with saving their kidnapped friend or wife. Both times I went with them, tried to save them and the person was hung anyway. The first time I tried to shoot out the rope first, then the guys, no luck. The second time I tried shooting the guys first, no luck either. How on earth am I supposed to save people from being hung? Is it just a matter of "getting there" in time? Any tips???

True I Skill Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I had the same thing. apart from i died because i didnt want to risk killing the hanging guy. i went into dead eye locked onto both the men but accidently locked onto the guy hanging. It marked him but i couldnt tell if it had marked He's head or the Rope just above he's head. So i cancled it then died. so maybe if you try dead eye it might be the way to shoot him down?

I just did one a few minutes ago. I ran up on the group (usually 3 guys) went into dead eye, shot two guys, went out of dead eye, aimed at the rope manually, went back into dead eye and shot out the rope. If you do it like this then you'll have all the time you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Johnson Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Just a matter of getting there in time and using the dead eye to shoot the rope apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOf1977 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 That's what you do, dead eye the rope... I was thinking it was impossible to save em coss either the horse he sits on gets scared of the gun fire, or when he's standing on a step the scared horses knock him over.

Madame Dork Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 They all died for me until I got dead eye. I had my first successful save last night. Dead eyed the rope and the tree dudes. My first experience was during a storm so I couldn't see anything and I didn't know how to use the dead eye. I accidentally killed everyone.

acurate bob Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 deadeye is the key here. Just hurry through the guys and Deadeye on them and the rope. They won't shoot the hangingnperson after they fall. There usually tied up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docholoday Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Awesome. Thanks guys. I'll give that a try the next time I come across one. I don't think I tried Dead Eye'ing the rope last time, just the guys. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yevinorion Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 if you're having a lot of trouble with this, try getting closer and aiming a shotgun at the upper part of the rope. The spread can help make up for a slightly off aim it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Snow_Man Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I can honestly admit I ignored the last one... "Help, they got my wife" "Sorry mister... Skinning these two bears right here is way more important to me right now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
