It is going to be a busy week for fans of Red Dead Online, with double rewards coming to the Most Wanted mode. Rockstar is also adding a series of other special benefits for Red Dead Online's collectors and cowpokes.
Red Dead Online takes players into a multiplayer version of the wild west. Throughout the experience, fans can explore specialist job roles or compete head to head in competitive battles. As a live service game, Rockstar occasionally adds special updates that buff specific activities. Regardless of the mode, taking advantage of these offers is beneficial to avoid major grinding.
For those into the PvP modes in Red Dead Online, look forward to the Featured Series this week. It focuses on Most Wanted, but as players move up the ranks their bounty gets higher and higher. Take out the top value enemies to move up the ladder and replace them. Rockstar encourages fans to hop in because RDO$ and XP are double no matter if winning or losing. This particular bonus runs until March 8 for anyone who is currently on the fence.
There are also some extras for anyone who prefers focusing on job roles rather than multiplayer. For the collector role, treasures will be worth double the Role XP and free roam events for this class provide 50% more RDO$. And hunters who finish off the Deep Blue Collection after finding Madam Nazar in Red Dead Online will receive an offer for 30% off novice or promising collector items. Make sure to mosey on over to the fence too, because rank requirements for weapons and pamphlets are waived. The best part is that fast travel is free for the entire week, so hoping across the map of Red Dead Online will be a cinch.
Another update to Red Dead Online should keep fans hopping in for more. While the game is not popular for its PvP modes, the Featured Series this week seems like an easy way to reach max rank fast. By offering the buff for winners and losers, the opportunity is too good to pass up. Plus, that new cash can be spent towards the all the freshly available pamphlets and weapons from the fence. Leveling up in the game is no simple task, so removing those rank requirements will be good for players who joined when the multiplayer was made separate.
That said, there does not seem to be much for hardcore or long time fans of the game. By this point, many of those gamers will have already purchased any of the items they want. Not to mention maxing out the collectors role. Another update for Red Dead Online goes by with no additional content or even a tease at any upcoming additions. In any case, those planning on leveling up will benefit from these changes.
Red Dead Online is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
