Log on to Face Book today and Rockstar Games have posted a question and answer about multiplayer for Red Dead Redemption. I’ll posted some of the Q & A below. You can read the hole thing > here. But remember you will have to log on to Face Book.

“Is there auto aim on multiplayer for RDR?” – received via Twitter
Like the single player game, there are three targeting modes available to choose from: Casual, Normal and Expert. Casual is full lock, Normal snaps-to-target but does not lock on, and Expert has no assist. You can configure your own personal targeting to suit your preferences in any game by using the multiplayer playlists in the menu.
For Competitive games, there are Casual playlists for all game types that are exclusively Casual targeting mode, or that allow players to mix it up and play against each other across a variety of the three targeting types.
There are also playlists for Gang Matches and Free For All games which allow players to use Normal or Expert targeting together (but not Casual).
For advanced players that prefer to strictly play against other free-aimers, Hardcore and Veteran playlists that exclusively support Expert targeting can be used for all Gang Matches and Free For All Games.
It’s also worth noting that honing your multiplayer skills with the more advanced Normal and Expert targeting styles will reward you with bonus XP to level up faster than those using Casual.
“Will there be health regeneration???” – Bigdragon8me
Yes. As in the single-player game, your health will regenerate as you play multiplayer matches.
“How many weapons can you carry at once?” – Rodriguer2000
There is no hard limit to the amount of weapons you can carry – you can carry every weapon you pick up, and switch between weapons in a given class using the d-pad + weapon in the pause menu. In Competitive matches, different areas will have different weapon load-outs – for example, the larger area of Diez Coronas offers a sniper rifle to offset the power of the cannon and gatling gun placements. Choosing the appropriate weapon for the task, and conserving ammo for that weapon is key to effective strategy.
“Hey R* I still need to know, will we be able to swim in RDR?” – captaincabbage
As an outlaw character who’s spent most of his life on horseback in the land-locked territories of the West – John Marston is not much of a swimmer. If he has to cross a body of water, transport will be provided. John has no problem wading, but if he gets too deep, he will drown.
