Rockstar Games is happy to announce new content for Red Dead Online.

Bonus Rewards for Some of The West’s Toughest Jobs in Red Dead Online

3X RDO$ and XP on Hardcore Telegram Missions, Plus 2X Rewards on Call to Arms, Bonuses on Blood Money Opportunities, and More

Red Dead Online Update News (April 5, 2022)

There’s high reward for high risk on the frontier. Taking on “A Tough Business” Hardcore Telegram Missions will deal out triple the usual RDO$ and XP throughout the month of April.

These differ from regular Telegram Missions in that you won’t have any aim assistance to guide you, and your foes will be tougher, more accurate with their shots, and not visible on your radar. Test your mettle, aim, determination, and will to survive and you’ll be rewarded accordingly.

To launch Telegram Missions, including “A Tough Business,” visit your local Postmaster or Camp Lockbox and collect the Telegrams sent from “J.” Open the Documents section of your Satchel, and choose from the available Missions.

Weekly Telegram Mission Bonuses

April 5 – April 11: Complete “A One Horse Deal” to receive a Reward for 50% off a Stable Slot
April 12 – April 18: Complete “Rich Pickings” to receive a Treasure Map leading to a haul near Calumet Ravine
April 19 – April 25: Complete “Outrider” to receive a Reward for 30% off the Hunting Wagon
April 26 – May 2: Complete any “A New Source of Employment” Telegram Mission to receive a rare blue Patterned Bandana

Each week this month, completing any “A New Source of Employment” Telegram Mission will result in you receiving 48 rounds of Express Rifle Ammo.

2X RDO$ and XP on Blood Money Opportunities

Read the “Letter from M” in your Satchel and visit Guido Martelli to get acquainted with the criminal underworld. Once you’ve saved up enough Capitale by completing Crimes and rummaging through the pockets of your fallen foes, launch Opportunities by speaking with Anthony Foreman, Sean Macguire, Joe, or James Langton.

Completing any of these elaborate criminal endeavors and undermining Senator Ricard’s plans for the Centennial States’ Fair will result in 2X RDO$ and XP, all month long. Plus, complete any Opportunity each week this month to receive 96 rounds of High Velocity Revolver Ammo.

2X RDO$, XP, and Gold on Call to Arms

Violent offenders are prowling the frontier looking for vulnerable outposts — defending holdouts and allies in Call to Arms will earn you 2X RDO$, XP, and Gold this whole month.

Free Community Outfit All Month Long

Don’t forget to dress for the occasion. YouTuber Dare to Game recently shared several of their favorite outfits made up of clothing and accessories available from the pages of the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Catalogue. All month, you can claim each of the following items for free to recreate Dare to Game’s rustic take on a traditional cowboy look:

Free Fishing Rod and Bow for Rank 10 Players

Making a name for yourself on the plains is its own reward, but free gear from the shopkeeper is always welcome. Gain some renown and reach at least Rank 10 this week to receive the Fishing Rod and a Reward for a free Bow. Players who have already hit this milestone are also eligible for these gifts.
