Tips and Tricks[]

  • After successfully completing Horsebreaking, the tamed horse can usually be saved by a hitching post nearby, making it the horse that comes when whistled for.
  • For Nightwatch jobs, it is recommended to equip a weaker gun, such as the Cattleman Revolver, to shoot offenders in the leg or arm to make it easier to hogtie them to receive the maximum amount of money for the job.
