How to play free aim lobbies in Red Dead Online
There are different type of lobbies in RDO:
1) Aim assist lobbies (normal and narrow)
In these lobbies people who use controllers are given aim assist and aim assist in this game is aimbot it will glue reticle to enemy no matter what. If you're casual player and want to play with controller it may be ok for you, but if you're using keyboard and mouse you're putting yourself in massive disadvantage playing online pvp and pve coop.

2) Free aim lobbies
In these lobbies there's no any aim assist. Players with controllers will not have any advantage (you can say that they are at disadvantage in these lobbies) in aiming.

Unfortunaly for keyboard and mouse users game is flawed on PC and will put you in aim assist lobbies by default effectively gimping your pvp online performance if you decide to stay in these "normal" lobbies because you will be fighting against players who can lock on you and kill you in 1 second. Option to change aim setting is nor promted on launch and hidden in controller setting, so average Joe who don't have a controller probably will not ever look there. However it's really simple to switch your aim settings.

Making your game free aim:

1)Go to Controls in the main menu. Important note here: you should do it in story mode or in right after entering the game otherwise aim settings cannot be changed.

2)Go to Controller settings

3) Change BOTH aim settings from Normal to Free Aim.

And that's it. Now you will be placed only against players who use free aim.

I got murdered twice almost immediately after logging on, twice. Hopefully that becomes a lot less.

Thanks a lot! This should definetly be more clear, was wondering how people are so freaking good and always headshot me on sight regardless of gamemode.

Just a heads up You can still use Aim Assist in Free Aim.. The slider under your Aim of Choice, Free-Aim, Wide, Narrow, is for the Aim Assist. It is the stupidest thing and needs to be fixed. Helps people big time with sniper shots. Hence everyone and there Mothers, Brothers, Cousins, running around with Carcano with Small Scope set up.. Just get near the head pull the tringer and 90% of time it's a headhot occasionally a hatshot. Not as noticeable with the Short range weapons. Pistols, Revolvers. At least it is with controllers on Free Aim.. Can't use a Mouse to well as my hand is screwed up at the moment and I played console version from Day 1 of beta and I got used to controller. If anyone gets bored online and isn't using Free Aim try it. Brings a fresh feeling all over again.
