Dead Eye Level 1: Slowdown Time

At the first level of Dead Eye, you will only be able to slow down time.

Dead Eye Level 2: Pain Targets Automatically

At Dead Eye Level 2, the red X AIM points are automatically placed on the enemies. This is done by moving the aiming reticle over the enemies you want to target. Once the marking is done, just press the FIRE Button and all the marked enemies will be shot.

Dead Eye Level 3: Manually Pick Your Shooting Points

Dead Eye at Level 3 works similar to what it does at Level 2 but the only difference is that you can manually place the RED X AIM Points on the enemies by pressing the R1 or RB button. Manually marking the enemies gives you an advantage of precision. You will your say in which enemies to target, which body part of the enemies to target. This completely eliminates the accidentally marking of the weaker enemies and wasting the ammo.

Dead Eye Level 4: Target Enemies’ Vital Organs

Level 4 is the best Dead Eye level right now (as we don’t have details on what exactly the Dead Eye offers you at Level 5). At this level of Dead Eye, Arthur Morgan gets an Eye X-Ray ability which marks the vital organs of your target enemies. You can use these vital organ markings on the enemies and ensure that you kill them with one shot. Level 4 of the Dead Eye will be useful when you want to clear massive waves of enemies without causing any problem to yourself. Also, it will be helpful when you want to hunt down the animals quickly and effectively.

It might allow Arthur to automatically fire a shot at the vital organ of the enemies that were marked in the Dead Eye Level 4.
