Dodging Controls
A lot of details are already mentioned in the Game Control Settings of Red Dead Redemption 2 so if you are missing something just go in the settings section to refresh your memory. For Dodging while using a weapon like a rifle, then press L2 and Square. Your character will jump in the direction you are moving, and lie down for a while. For example, if an enemy is shooting from the right, you can press the key combination to dodge on the extreme right and save yourself from an incoming bullet attack. The same controls for Xbox are LT+X.
You can use this in the story as well in online mode, but remember that once you do this the character will dodge and then take some seconds to get back on his feet. This short pause can be lethal, Dodging is best if you are not having too many enemies around or if you are fighting with someone face to face.
Dodging drains stamina, using to too early can slow down your character. You have to plan to use it at the right time. You can also shift shoulders while aiming that will help you to get clear aim by pressing the Left on D-Pad.
