Red Dead Redemption 2 made a huge impact when it was released and many were happy to freely roam the wild west and embody a cowboy. The critically acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2 has managed to keep players satisfied long after its solo campaign finished by adding online features. Many players have enjoyed hunting elements online and there is a relatively easy way for this to become a profession in the game.

The developer of Red Dead Online, Rockstar Games, has a reputation for creating huge open-world games that give players freedom and this was the case with the games online and offline offerings. Red Dead Online has had a consistent stream of updates that have kept fans entertained but the ability to make money in the game through trading will likely excite players and encourage them to go searching for items.

To begin with, players will need to head to their nearest Post Office and open a letter from Cripps, which explains that there is a business opportunity to be discussed. Players will then need to travel to Armadillo and meet Cripps in order to progress. The exact location of Cripps can be found by opening up "The Birth of a Company" mission on the map. When players arrive they will enter a cut scene where Cripps explains his plans to prepare and trade items that the player hunts and finds. At this point, players will have hopefully taken advantage of Red Dead Online's free gold offer and be able to pay the 15 gold bars required to begin the business. Fortunately for PlayStation 4 players, this is not required.

Once this transaction is complete, players can find the Wilderness Outfitters in their camp and it is marked by a money bag on the map. Players then need to speak to the NPC  by the Outfitters and purchase the Butcher's Table.  From this point on players can be a Trader and gain a canine partner as well as a whole host of other benefits. Not only will this experience excite fans but the proceeds from purchases in Red Dead Online are currently going to coronavirus relief efforts.

There are several reasons to pick up Red Dead Redemption 2, and its constant stream of content is keeping fans on the title. With that in mind, it will be interesting to see how long the game can keep players engaged with its updates. Yet, for fans of hunting, it seems the game still has plenty to offer.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now for the PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
