I don't know about you but when i first got Red Dead Redemption I didn't have a clue how to win a duel. You might say "well didn't it come with a guide?", yes it did but the guide didn't help me in any way. So in this guide I will show what steps you can take to ensure you win a duel every time!
Pull Left Trigger(360) L2 (PS3) or pull down and up on the right analog stick to draw your gun. You can push your hand closer to your gun without drawing by ever so slightly pushing down on the right analog stick.
The longer you wait to draw, even after your opponent has reached for his weapon the closer the camera zooms in and the more accurate you are. (I always draw last)
The goal is to fill your meter in the bottom right fuller then the other person by placing marks on him.
The aiming reticule goes from Red to White. Big to Small. You want to place your marks as white marks because it fills your meter fuller for each marks compared to the less accurate red marks which barely fill your meter. So placing a bunch of marks as fast as you can is not as effective as taking a little bit more time and placing all white marks.
You can disarm them by placing a mark on their hand. You earn more fame and honor for doing so. You can also apparently shoot their hat off and make them dance, although I haven't actually done this myself yet.
