Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of the generation so far, but while it has incredible attention to detail in the world and an incredible story, Rockstar's long-standing issue with animation priority means that actually playing the game is a bit more sluggish than other AAA releases.

For the most part, that methodical pace is intentional, but in some areas, such as the gunplay and the aiming, it absolutely is not. Fortunately, fans discovered pretty quickly that there is a way to make the shooting in particular far smoother and more responsive simply by tinkering with a couple of in-game options.

Summed up pretty well by the video above, by jumping into the menu and lowering aim/look acceleration as well as the aim assist options and the look sensitivity, you can make combat become far more accurate.
