For anyone that notices my voice coming from your left ear. I accidently recorded in stereo and didn't mix the stereo down to mono. Unfortunately, that's a mess up on my part, but my next video will not have that issue!

This is a very well-structured DE tutorial, likely the most informative I’ve seen so far! It helps a lot that you provide some of the info in text form as it makes things that much clearer.<br><br>Can’t help but share a couple of tips as well! To mitigate the fact that Chewing Tobacco decreases your DE core, just combine it with Thyme Big Game meat, which gives your DE a gold core that lasts for a day and prevents the Tobacco core drain.<br><br>As for levelling your DE without using exploits, I discovered that you gain a lot of xp by fighting with a bow. Wiping out a wave of bounty hunters already gives you a significant boost (~15 xp per kill) and though I haven’t tried, I reckon two or three visits to Hanging Dog Ranch could level your DE all the way to level 8.

You forgot to mention that split-point ammo consumes less dead-eye than other ammos

I really like the mod "Dead Eye Activation Cool Down Reloaded 1.1", it adds a 10-20 second long cooldown (depending on deadeye core) to activating deadeye. It makes the game a bit harder to cheese and really forces you to be strategic when using deadeye, it feels really good in a second playthrough. Having a gold deadeye core removes the cooldown too, so you can still go crazy but for an item cost

I wish you unlocked deadeye ranks as the attribute grew instead of being unlocked behind story progression.
