Arthur vs. John - RDR 2 | Who is Best?

[Abandned_Bread]

Funfact: Johns deadeye is the same sound as in rdr1

[AdotTooTactical]

The clicking of arthurs dead eye is a clock slowly counting down how much time he has before he ☠️

[kingooYT]

Fun fact: As you get through chapters the clicking of the clock becomes faster. So the clicking sound is faster in chapter 6 than chapter 1

Everyone knows "Marston can't swim"

Man i remember my first time playing RDR2 and first introduced to Arthur and i was like "Who's this jackass? Where's my man John?" Until the later chapter i am starting to know his character even more and then final chapters i can see Arthur's final moments to make amends for what he did from the early chapter. I cried so hard in his final ride to the camp and left everyone behind so that John and the others could escape. Rest in peace Arthur Morgan, you truly are a good man.

Making short hair to John is a crime against Humanity, cowboy !

😂😂😂😂😂I remember Arthur joking when he said to John, "You seem worried because we are so close to the water."

maybe the sound of the dead eye has a meaning. Example, Arthur's dead eye is a timer meaning the time he has left to redem himself before he dies of TB, meanwhile John heartbeat means he has something to fight (a reason, like his family)

Keeping both eyes open for aiming is actually a valid (and in some cases superior) shooting method. It allows better depth perception and can help with retaining better focus on the situation. It can also help prevent you from aiming too low or too high.

Shooting with one eye on the other hand, can prevent distractions, make it easier to make out distant details and prevent double vision.

Typically single eye shooting is used by snipers, novice to intermediate shooters or hobbyists.

Professionals, SWAT teams and many soldiers in the military tend to employ shooting with both eyes.

My guess on why Arthur uses both eyes is because he was taught how to shoot by older members of the posse. Some of which were former military (like Bill Williamson). Arthur's father was also an outlaw, so it would make sense that Arthur probably had better teachers.

John may use one eye for his shooting because he'd formerly been an orphan, and was probably mostly self taught before he had been adopted into the gang.

Of course, both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, are both valid and sustainable, and at the end of the day whoever shoots straightest won't typically depend on how many eyes you use.

Arthur’s deadeye use to jump scare tf outta me when I’d accidentally used it 😭

[sussyreincon]

Ngl the clicking sound is really cool if u think from a perspective where Arthur was so skilled that he knew when his focus would end

[Brother-Dorkins]

Arthur’s deadeye is foreshadowing that his “time” is almost being up

[giovanebaggio]

My theory on the deadeye sounds:

Arthur has a clock-ticking sound symbolizing his perfect timing for each shot (one nano second more and you’re dead) while John has heartbeat sounds for each shot is based off his survival instincts.

Arthur draws with intentions to kill while John draws with intentions to survive

[brandonwhite]

less than 1/3 sec draw time is actually wild

High Honor's Dead Eye: White line starts from right to the left.

Low Honor's Dead Eye: White line starts from the left to the right.

If you keep both eyes open while aiming a gun and train enough to do it it will GREATLY increase your ability to spot movement in foreground and a whole bunch of other pros, but it takes a lot of practice and training.

[molotovdude]

Arthur taught John everything but swimming

[estephens]

There is always something extra about this game you never knew like I had no idea that arthur keeps both his eyes open when aiming and never honestly realised both of there deadeye's sounded different, Just when you think you know everything it keeps surprising you its amazing

[kydengarrison]

John's dead sound the same as rdr1 and he shuts his left eye cause he is blind in his left eye from the wolf attack
