Double XP on This Week’s Featured Hardcore Series: Head for the Hills

Plus Bonuses and Discounts for Traders, Returning Clothing Items, and More

RED DEAD ONLINE Update News (Feb. 2, 2021)

Living on the lam was never a walk in the park, but this week’s Featured Series — a Hardcore version of Head for the Hills — offers players no other choice but to make a mad dash for the safe house. The runners will not have any consumables to aid them and nurse them back to health, but their opponents will be deprived of the use of Ability Cards and instead must rely on the strength and shrewdness of their aim.

Either way, both sides will earn double the usual XP all week on the Hardcore version of Head for the Hills.
