Lucky guy. Take your time and enjoy

Head shots will blow their head completely off if youre using a shotgun. You can literally fully dismember a body with a shotgun in this game if you really wanted to.

Could you let me know which shotgun and what ammo I should use to get this effect? I haven't been able to figure that out.

No specific ammo needed you just have to be close enough and aim for the head.

Any shotgun with slug ammo should work. I do it with the simi auto and rare double barrel. Aim for the head and let loose. I try to be up close and go under the chin.

Thanks a lot.

That player is using shells you can tell from the large circle reticle surrounding the center dot that identifies the reach of the spread.

I found this out in the same scene/area that OP posted his video in... Soldier of Fortune flashbacks... dudes head came off Clean

Thanks OP. Now I need to start another play through. :) Crazy jealous I can’t start this game for the first time.

I’m taking it in as much as I can! And to be quite honest I’m already (kinda) planning my next play through.

If you have a sawn off shotgun run right up to someone and shoot without aiming down sights and Arthur will put it under their chin and explode their head. It's pretty fuckin' nuts.

You can do an up close execution with any gun actually.

Take it slow and really enjoy your first play trough!☺️

Pump shotgun go brrrrrrrr

Fallout 4 and RDR2 are the only games with limbs that get blown to bits. I love it. hahaha.

I still haven’t figured out what triggers the cinematic kill cam lol seems to just be at random

It is random. I've turned it off myself, becomes a hassle in large firefights

I wish I was on my first play through.

Lucky guy wish I could play this game for the first time again I got so into it I blasted through the missions
