Rockstar Games is happy to announce new content for Red Dead Online.
Racing Bonuses: 4X RDO$ in Standard Races and More in Red Dead Online
Triple Gold on Open Races, Free Community Outfit, Plus Blood Money and Free Roam Bonuses
Take advantage of huge rewards on Races, test your mount’s stamina in the weekly Featured Series, claim a free stylish outfit, and more in Red Dead Online this month.
Racing Bonuses and Rewards for All
Test your horse’s stamina and resolve against a crowd of competitors in various Races this week to earn rewards, including:
- 4X RDO$ for participating in Standard Races
- 3X Gold for cutting your own route between points A and B in Open Races
- 5X XP for steady shooting while out-racing the competition in Target Races
2X RDO$ and XP on Select Blood Money Contracts
There are various ways to get your boot in the door as an aspiring outlaw: helping Guido Martelli attack the Central Union in The Railroad Contract; rescuing a gang leader in The Jeb Phelps Contract; and collecting Bluewater John’s debt in The Bluewater Contract; all these Blood Money Contracts are dishing out 2X RDO$ and XP, all month long.
Seek out Anthony Foreman, Sean Macguire, James Langton, or Joe to launch these adventures and earn yourself a reward, a dangerous reputation and some Capitale, to boot.
2X RDO$ and XP on Free Roam Missions
Wandering the frontier and helping do-gooders and despicable characters alike by taking part in Free Roam Missions will pay out 2X RDO$ and XP, all month long.
Free Community Outfit
Stand astride your steed in style — assemble the outfit above, inspired by Redditor happychrimus from the r/reddeadfashion subreddit, by claiming the following:
- Gambler’s Hat
- Black Clymene Coat or Hartman Jacket
- White Casual Shirtwaist or Everyday Shirt
- Bandito Pants
- Worn Roper Boots
- Woven Pistol Gun Belt and Woven Pistol Holster
To fully replicate the happychrimus look, you’ll need to swap in the Wakeeney Hat — so we’ve also made a select colorway of the Wakeeney Bounty Hunter Outfit free to Bounty Hunters this month as well. All the above are available from local Tailors and the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Catalogue, free of charge until June 6.
