Dueling

Dueling is a major activity in Red Dead Redemption. John Marston will routinely be challenged to duels, especially when after making dishonorable decisions and generating fame. Typically, these duels will be issues by deviant criminal residing in one of the many established towns of Red Dead Redemption.

When dueling, Marston will make use of a special form of Dead-Eye. The player will be able to decide whether to draw quickly and sacrifice accuracy, or to draw more slowly and increase his accuracy with their sidearm. After their weapon is successfully drawn, the player with paint the opposing duelist with reticules, using the Dead-Eye system, and then firing.

Successfully disabling or killing the opposing dueling will generate fame for the player.
