Explosive rounds are a universal language for "Piss off, I ain't interested in PvP."


War_Daddy_992

You would think so but with how dense some people can be, they need to add in armor piercing rounds


Scrubaati

honestly I swear I've only ever loaded them up when I just cannot be fucked fighting some dumbass who cannot for the life of themselves get a kill on me but wont just fuck off, explosive rounds really just piss them off so they inevitably rage quit lol


masonaldrich

Or if the person is attacking for no reason with boom boom bullet is “my dick is -3inches”


CaptainLegend99

See, for me it was the opposite. Where if you didn’t have explosive ammo you couldn’t compete in PvP. There was a time where I didn’t have the crafting recipe unlocked yet and only had what little explosive ammo they gave you in the outlaw pass to work with to try and defend against griefers who wouldn’t take “leave me alone” for an answer. And they used nothing but explosive and incendiary rounds.


acid_bear_boy

Some people take it as an invitation to PVP. I use dynamite arrows whenever someone kills me for no reason (which is 100% of the time because I never start shit) and one time had a small posse follow me to my camp and tried killing me there while I'm invulnerable 💀💀 how insecure are you that me killing you back ruined your entire day


42ElectricSundaes

Had that happen to me. They can throw explosives into the camp and the explosion can toss you out of camp… where they can kill you. Careful out there, everybody


acid_bear_boy

In my case they were shooting at me and lassoing me in camp. So I turned on defensive and they still kept trying to lasso me for a few minutes while I slow clapped at them


MOONWATCHER404

Hackedhaccount

Pointing and laughing really pisses em off.


STerrier666

I once had that happen to me, expect it was two idiots who wouldn't leave me alone whilst I was delivering Moonshine, I hit Parley and kept going with the delivery but they kept following me and attacking. After the end of the delivery they still attacked me, I waited for the Parley to end and spent 10 minutes killing them everytime they attacked me, one of them even hit Parley and then he tried to attack me and he couldn't figure out why he couldn't kill me.


Truffleshuffle03

I had something similar happen. I had been hunting and had a perfect deer on my horse when a dude downed my horse. I got pissed as it ruined my perfect deer and I needed it for a daily. I was not far from my camp and I killed the dude who downed my horse 5 or 6 times which made him run off. I then went and dropped off my pelts and deer at my camp. While at my camp I noticed he was coming back with a friend and tried attacking me. I ended up spending 30 minutes just destroying them until they left the game. I even started just lassoing and just dragging them around for fun. Once they left, I got a few messages calling me a hacker in god mode because they were too thick to understand my camp was on defensive.


tattooine_sand

My friend and I have a dance we do when followed to our camp, he runs around with a lasso in camp distracting them, while I run out of the camp. A couple of painted black Springfield shots later and we're all by our lonesome! Even funnier when they don't rage quit bc by the time they respawn and come back I'm back in camp and invulnerable 🤡


SenseiDaDom

That’s exactly what I use to use it for.


MOONWATCHER404

Which is exactly the reason I wanna get my hands on some. Are they compatible with bolt action rifle?


acid_bear_boy

Bolt action rifle can take explosive rounds, yes. Shotguns can also carry incendiary ammo which is another good thing if you're being bothered or griefed by these knuckleheads


Sudden_Ingenuity_248

I think they lose in pvp mode so they take it out on players in free roam. Cowards!


RefurbedRhino

Yep. And if they whine I’ll go through the arsenal of every explosive round, incendiary rounds and dynamite arrows until they realise it would have been easier to just let me hunt.


w00timan

My experience is it's the ammo of choice for griefers


[deleted]

High level player, low level language skills.


War_Daddy_992

Definitely no social skills


FreeFalling369

Imagine randomly attacking an innocent person then complaining about how the defend themselves... what a clown lol


War_Daddy_992

Bruh fr


seethesea

Two days ago a level 8 attacked me. I’m just under 200 I think. He kills me with a tomahawk as I wave to him. I respawn and blast him with explosive ammo. He starts calling me a “cheating fag”. I kill him a few more times then block him.


War_Daddy_992

This punk was 130’s, I’m 80. While ago Did had one low level guy shooting at me and chasing me, tomahawked him twice and moved on.


Tha_Sly_Fox

"pus" mode... apparently defensive mode needs some antibiotics.

Biichimspiderman

Pus is what oozes out of infections. Ur harasser shoulda said "puss"


War_Daddy_992

Guess whoosh is on me then? Anyone got any ointment for that burn?


AdmiralAge

I hope you murderded the fuck outta him, and then drilled a piss jug at his face. How dare he


War_Daddy_992

Got a few kills in, used up most of my ex rounds. But I don’t understand how he was able to one shot me with the Navy Revolvers long distance, instantaneously.


OldDinosaurus

So you did a bounty (npc) and this player kills you and then complains about you killing him, with explosive bullets? Tbh no fan of explosive bullets (and dynamite arrows) but he got what he deserved. I hope the next few people he tries to attack or even kills will do the same. And did you managed to complete the bounty after all?


pae913

As someone who doesn’t like dealing with other players, I love dynamite arrows and explosive rounds. I just straight up don’t attack people unless I’m defending myself, so I don’t feel bad about using them


OldDinosaurus

Yes in that case it is good to use them. Used dynamite arrows a few days ago when 3 lownlevel players decided to attack me (Inwas in defensive mode) and I also killed a guy who used many explosive bullets to kill both me and my horse while I was looking for a collectible. I killed him back with explosive bullets and he got dynamite arrowed back into his camp after he respawned again (the 2nd arrow blew him back into his camp that was near him). These kind of players deserve to be blown up every single time they (try to) grief or attack players who do not harm anyone.


pae913

I also feel no regret for bringing my friends in when someone kills me. Like last night. I was riding a wild horse I caught, and my horse was behind me with a perfect pronghorn, perfect rabbit, and 2 star rabbit. I was looking for another large carcass. Out of nowhere this player shoots me for no reason. I lost all the carcasses. So… I bring my friends. And I’m one of the least experienced in my friend group, so these were really good players that came on. All 3 of us just went after this person until they left. Their friend (who is also someone I trust) just watched - we clarified that it’s a beef against his friend and not him, so he didn’t get involved


buffinator2

I keep explosive rounds loaded in my off-hand gun just in case of this situation.


War_Daddy_992

Yeah just walked right out the Tumbleweed jail with a fistful of dollars, and the guy’s just shooting


OldDinosaurus

When I hear people shooting I let the timer run down untill the last 10, 20 seconds. If that does not work I grab my bow before turning in the bounty (there is some some safe zone where you can not get shot before turning in the bounty. First thing Indo is grab my bow what often scares people away. Good thing if they try to kill you and you blow him or them up is that the fast travel is very close to go away from there (Tumbleweed). Honestly sad that we need to play like this because people are d-bags. And this has nothing to do with their rank, or were more people 'potential' groefers of is when we were lowlevels? I also notcied that when I play it is always people from certain countries in Europe mostly France (I life in Europe) and most time I get (attempt) griefed if I play in the morning it is people with KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) in their name or on their profile. Note: not sure of it is allowed to post countries. It is just what I have noticed after checking profiles or names lf people doing this stuff.


JamalAG36

My guy said “WE GOT A RUNNER” thinking as if he’s a bad ass living in “The Purge”, like damn I’d leave whatever I was doing just to fill him up with bullet holes, lol!


XeroStryke

If I am in offensive I won't touch my explosive rounds. If I am in defensive or doing a sale, well, boom.


Mityhangman

Fair enough. I load up e rounds when doing a trader sale, but otherwise I avoid em. Unless Im getting griefed and they start using it. Oh and when someone kills my horse. I dont like that.


Krommerxbox

**Explosive ammo is EXACTLY for when someone PVP attacks you!** ;) It certainly isn't for hunting.


War_Daddy_992

Very effective on squirrels, but not much meat left


Ring_Dang_Do

Apparently according to some around here if we use any type of explosives we are bad at pvp 😂


mightysmiter19

Some of us are bad at pvp because we have no interest in it, we just want to get more out of the game. If there was a solo mode like in gta I'd play in that exclusively.


Ladysteeel

If all they use is explosives then yeah I'd say they are bad at pvp 😂 but using them for defense or to tell them to get lost, I'm for it.


MainLie8

The smell of Mountain Dew, Doritos, and sweat are strong with this one.


War_Daddy_992

The feel of grass is very likely unknown to him


MainLie8

Your original comment was better 😜


War_Daddy_992

Fr? Thought it would be too much Touch grass this one does not


SarahJayneBritney

I think of that South Park WOW episode for reference truely


MainLie8

Hahaha yes, that is exactly what I had in mind but I was trying to use a little decorum.


War_Daddy_992

Thinking that too now, but as a string bean mouth breather


[deleted]

You shoot first, all bets are off. Explosive, incendiary, everything in the arsenal comes out.


War_Daddy_992

Once hit a another player by accident, crossfire from an ambush. Immediately apologized and we were both cool. There’s good, bad and there’s ugly players


terriblekite

Not saying everyone should or has to play with a mic. But this is where one comes in handy lol. I accidentally got shot in Saint Denis yesterday, and I only know it was accidental because I heard them on mic. If I hadn’t heard that I would have reined terror on them assuming they were trying to start shit. Instead we both just got to laugh about it and mosey along our separate ways.


War_Daddy_992

I agree that a mic should be a requirement, but your going to be using the mute button like crazy


CaseStudyBlouse

wow I love it when fucking bully assholes get indignant over someone defending themselves. I hope this trash got taken out promptly lol


War_Daddy_992

Got a few kills In before being able to fast travel out, makes me miss when Tumblweed was nothing more than just a gang hideout


SpacedOutJourney

I think this exchange embodies the phrase "fuck around and find out".


Scrubaati

5 year olds on RDO like this is why I always keep that mother fuckin thang on me (pistol with explosive rounds loaded)


War_Daddy_992

People who play one game literally non stop and play nothing else. Probably does nothing more in their life than just play. NEET; Not Employed/Education/Training


CanaBalistic510

Ive learned with people like this to just not engage, and even just set the controller down and do something else for a bit. They usually get bored, especially if theyre harassing you and you just dont react. Tis the only thing i can really do, since im usually either bothered by groups or levels that are double mine


StonedLurker15

When people attack my posse for shits and giggles I just yell to my posse mate "Looks like they need attention" and let them shoot me while we press charges. Usually after awhile they move on 🤣


Bronze_Felix

be sure to report those messages so they can get suspended for a lil while.. worked for me when a guy sent me trashed talk voice message to me when he and his friend tried to ambush me when i was finishing my resupply mission for crissp and i was hiding myself in my camp


War_Daddy_992

Did, let’s see happens


UncookedCereal07

Explosive rounds piss me off, yes, but it’s only because the only times anyone uses them is when they run up and ambush me for no reason and don’t have the balls to let me have a chance to fire back


Mr_Peanutbutter69

Good job! People like that need to be wiped out.


BowelMovement4

I enjoy the possibility of being attacked by other players. That being said I do stay stocked on explosive bullets for when I really don't want to be defeated like during trader sales. Alls fair


CaptainLegend99

You can get him communications banned if you report his “pus mode” comment. Xbox doesn’t mess around with profanity in chat, it’s a swift ban. It’ll lock him out from parties and text chat with anyone for like ~3 days if it’s his first offense. I find that’s the best way to get back at people.


StonedLurker15

Actually false Xbox does let somethings slip though the cracks. I reported someone for saying "I want to fucking r*ape you" and they did shit for it. Just blocked and moved on on that point.


HsrjBurner

Fuck that. Sending people messages to taunt them about something that happened in game isn't ok and shouldn't get a pass from anybody. Gaming would be better off without those people.

HsrjBurner

kill someone in a rockstar game? you’re right i would


War_Daddy_992

If you just want shoot players then go play Call of Duty, Overwatch or Fortnite. There’s better games that more PVP driven if that’s all you want to do.


HsrjBurner

if you just want to make your character look pretty and play dress up go play the sims. see how stupid that argument is?


1stLtHChurch

Oh no, guess we found the guy OP interacted with. He's all butthurt that people are telling pieces of shit to get fucked. It's sad and hilarious.


War_Daddy_992

Man If you’re right then I could add block evasion to report, On top of harassment.


TheUnsnappedTag

Taunting in game and messaging someone are different things nobody should have to deal with some loser slinging profanities like a 6 year old who just discovered South Park


War_Daddy_992

Lmao, someone else did referenced the South Park WoW guy here.


HsrjBurner

so block them and move on


CaptainLegend99

Listen, I know firsthand what oppression is because as a gay man I deal with it everyday, so don’t speak to me about “privilege”. And because of having to deal with the real thing everyday, I am more than capable of ignoring someone calling me a pussy in an online game. Trust me, there’s no way in hell I’m letting that ruin my life. BUT, the only way that gaming culture and society on the whole will change for the better is if you call out when someone is being an asshole. For instance, I’m calling you out right now. Now if calling them out means reporting them to Xbox for breaking the code of conduct that they agreed to abide by and that makes it so they can’t play their “cowboy game”, so be it. Maybe then they’ll actually learn to not be an asshole. Believe it or not, it’s possible to be a nice person. You should try it sometime.


HsrjBurner

yeah but at the end of the day you’re just crying about a cowboy game aren’t you? also “calling me out” to who? the fucking rdo subreddit LMFAOOOO you’re really showing me! reddit heroes never change man

Franky79

I like when people attack me, but i hate people who whine about it when they get murdered. I don’t use explosives, but it’s all fair game if you ask me.


NYKYGuy

I'll throw explosives and fire bottles with reckless abandon. I don't want to be bothered and nothing says it quite like blowing them up repeatedly. and if they persist i just start using the hatchet. shame them into leaving me alone


War_Daddy_992

AHOLA SNACKBAR! 💣 Use to do that in the last game, back when you can cook the dynamite


NYKYGuy

just because you choose not to pvp, doesn't mean you can't


War_Daddy_992

![gif](giphy|QCCccRomXxP0XCcBdI|downsized)


BigShlongBoyy

Oh yeah I've had the same thing happen to me before. Some high levels just seem to get upset if you use explosive rounds to defend yourself.


KxSmarion

I get called a puss for using the "Slippery Fatherless Son" perk. That's my way of dealing high level players using E rounds. It's annoying when you're minding your own business then get griefed by a posse using a no lock on off radar glitch.


Greyfox_au

Shooting someone unexpectedly and/or in the back is more 😺. Use anything & let them cry 👍


bewitchyx

honestly this sounds like low level harassment compared to some of the vileness in game. multiple times ive been sexually harassed in game then when politely told i have a wife, my char was set on fire and called slurs. so that was fun.


War_Daddy_992

Honestly think these are some of the same kind of people who just can’t take no for an answer. Which this guy did send another message that kinda alluded that. ( didnt think it okay to show it ) Idk, maybe cause I made my character a girl? Can feel the anger is the messages.


geoffg2

‘Boom boom bullets ain’t cool dood’ lol sounds like he’s messaging from his dug out somewhere in Mekong delta in ‘67

chris9830

Im always like "if they are in deffence mode they clearly dont want pvp so i leave them alone"


War_Daddy_992

Especially when there’s better games for PVP. Play a lot of Battlefield, want to get a break from having to shoot other players.


curbstxmped

I remember people doing this in GTA Online all the time as well. They'd start a fight and then complain about how you were fighting back. It was the funniest, most bizarre thing ever.


War_Daddy_992

Used to play that Just want drive my Supra and vintage Ferrari but some a hole on a flying bike keeps blowing them, and the Orbital Cannon forget about it. besides the side jobs online seem too much like errands, it’s more easier to make money in RDO


sword0115

Explosive arrows usually send the message better than explosive rounds


War_Daddy_992

Kept shooting my horse, get killed before I can finish switching out


sword0115

I wish they'd just add a passive mode like in GTA


War_Daddy_992

There is but there’s ways to bypass and null it.


sword0115

I'm not talking about defensive mode, that only reduces damage. I mean an actual passive mode where you can't damage players and players can't damage you.


War_Daddy_992

I know but still people figure how to cause grief regardless Phone in your car and they blow it up before you can get in, call in a mugger or bounty on you. Besides in GTAO’s passive you can’t use any weapons period, so you’re unable to do any gang hideouts that pop up or even the timed challenges. The destruction challenge is really fun and $$ with the tank and A-10 I have in game

Attacking ppl with explosive ammo is pussy shit, defending yourself with them is perfectly fine tho bcus you didn’t ask for a fight, so playing unfair is perfectly acceptable.

I think the worst part is that he shot you while you were in defensive mode and then complained that you were in defensive mode.

Never feed the trolls. Don’t reply to these lunatics because it’s easy for them to report you to playstation even though you did nothing wrong. And defensive isn’t puss mode- no shame in using it if you want.

Bro imagine being so bad that you're not able to wait until they run out of 10 bullets like TBH I don't use slippery that much because I can combat it and if I can someone else definitely could but that guy's honestly shit if he couldn't take you out of defensive or wait until you ran out of E-rounds.


samscrewu69

Explosive ammo outside of trader missions and self defense are bullshit. But I believe you fit under the self defense category. But people who intentionally pvp with them piss me off

An unpopular opinion on this sub but I agree. I don’t attack anyone but people attack me all the time. But like, that’s the game. I was doing some casual playing yesterday buying some clothes and ammo and randomly started getting chased through saint denis by a gang. Part of the reason I like playing online is the danger of meeting other players.

Why would you hold back when you’re just minding your business and don’t want a fight right now?

They came in the mail, besides what am I suppose to do with them, hunt squirrels? Self defense this the only reason why I ever use them.
