Today, the world of Red Dead Online deepens with the introduction of three new Frontier Pursuits, each presenting their own unique path filled with themed activities for players looking to thrive on the frontier.
Choose to become a Bounty Hunter and hunt down dangerous criminals, partner with Cripps in an entrepreneurial venture to turn their camp into a bustling business as a Trader, unearth treasures both valuable and arcane as a Collector, focusing on one role at a time or all three at once.
In addition to Specialist Roles, today’s update also includes a wide range of new features and gameplay changes to enhance the overall experience:
- New items, weapons, clothing and horse-drawn vehicles
- Additional horse breeds
- Directional damage indicators to display where your character is hit from
- The ability to change your character’s appearance without resetting progress
- Expanded custom outfit slots and the ability to name saved outfits
- Role-specific Free Roam Events
- Increased selling prices for looted Jewelry
- Increased movement and animations speeds for more responsive combat (including aiming, cocking and reloading), faster looting and more
- Additional game balancing and improvements
