Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed.

After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.

Built from the ground up for the latest hardware, Red Dead Online blends the classic multiplayer of the original Red Dead Redemption with the best of everything we have learned since then about creating deep multiplayer experiences. The result is something completely new and fun, and an experience that will continue to expand and evolve over time as we gain valuable feedback from our community in the Beta period.

​Etta Doyle, ​aka Madame La Perle, a known train and stagecoach robber is Red Dead Online’s latest Legendary Bounty, and can be pursued by licensed Bounty Hunters who visit any nearby Bounty Board.  And coinciding with tomorrow’s Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC launch, PC players with Social Club accounts connected to Twitch Prime will also get a Bounty Hunter License for free when logging into Red Dead Online.

All players that log in to Red Dead Online by November 11th will receive a gift of RDO$100 and a free Treasure Map, and starting tomorrow Collectors can keep an eye out for the Fortune Teller’s Collection from Madam Nazar, containing the Ace of Cups, Ace of Wands and Absinthe.

New emotes have also arrived at the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Catalogue: Applause, Thumbs Down, Hush Your Mouth, and Gentle Wave, the latter of which is free this week to players Club Rank 50 and above.

Please read on for the full details, including free collectible Tarot Cards for PlayStation Plus players, the new Fear of the Dark Showdown Mode’s last week of availability, and more.

Legendary Bounty: Etta Doyle

In a past life, Etta Doyle trafficked in vice, working as a procuress for ladies of the night. She went by a different name then, too: Madame La Perle. But La Perle and her gang of discouraged women have since reinvented themselves as bandits, robbing stagecoaches and trains with a particular fancy for stealing from Leviticus Cornwall.

Cornwall has grown weary of his freight being targeted and has hatched a plan to ensnare Doyle - by spreading rumors of high value goods traveling by rail through St Denis. The goods, of course, are fake - and Cornwall means to spring an ambush. Wishing to distance himself and his company from the dirty work, Cornwall requires the assistance of qualified and experienced Bounty Hunters.

Doyle and her gang are considered extremely dangerous, but mercy must be spared, and the target is required to be captured alive. Her identifying traits are a scar on her right cheek that she earned in a knife fight and the fact that she dresses in male clothing - though she will likely mask her face to conceal her true identity.

Licensed Bounty Hunters can take on Legendary Bounty Missions by approaching the nearest Bounty Board, indicated on the map. A short while after completing a Legendary Bounty it will reappear to be played at an increased difficulty, indicated by the number of stars present on the poster. For those who will experience Red Dead Online for the first time on PC tomorrow, connecting your Social Club account with Twitch Prime will get you the Bounty Hunter license for free. To ensure access to all kinds of future Red Dead Online benefits, make sure to visit Twitch Prime and sign up.
