Rockstar Games is happy to announce the details on the first adjustments to the Red Dead Online Beta, including game balancing and player gifts.

The developers want to thank the Red Dead community for playing and sending thems tons of valuable feedback during the first full week of the Red Dead Online Beta’s availability. This feedback is crucial to help shape the game as we move forward.

Today Rockstar is starting to implement the first set of adjustments to the game including changes specifically geared towards creating a more balanced, fun and rewarding overall experience, across all modes and missions.

These include:

  • Increasing the cash and gold payments across a number of different activities including Free Roam Missions, Free Roam Events, replays of A Land of Opportunities Missions, Showdown Series modes, and more.
  • Reducing the prices of most weapons in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue and Gunsmiths. For players that have already purchased weapons at the previous prices, we will automatically deposit the difference to player balances starting today – please look for an alert message the next time you log in to the Red Dead Online Beta to notify you of this change, refunds may take up until Monday, December 10th to reach all eligible players.
  • Balancing the values of select pelts, skins and fish as well as horse reviver and pamphlets.

Of course the efforts to improve and balance the Red Dead Online Beta will continue. Rockstar is conscious of and still evaluating an assortment of further adjustments based on feedback from the community. They are currently working on fixes for some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions, and they aim to have fixes for these live next week. They will also continue to review all the feedback and suggestions so please keep them coming to reddeadonline.com/feedback.

As an added thank you for playing and helping through the beta period, Rockstar is also awarding everyone who joined in to play the Red Dead Online Beta at any point through midnight PST today with a gift of RDO$250 and 15 Gold Bars. Gifts should start arriving today and will hit all eligible players by Friday, December 14th.
