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.

Get Bonus RDO$ on Hardcore Telegram Missions and Call to Arms

Nothing good or worthwhile ever comes easy. Case in point: A Tough Business elevates the challenge of Telegram Missions by removing enemy blips from your radar and disabling aim assist, leaving you to survive on your wits and instincts, your grit and reflexes. In return, you’ll receive an extra 50% RDO$ for helping “J” with unsavory dealings across the frontier.

Defend Valentine and Blackwater from Peril in Call to Arms

Over the next two weeks, the towns of Valentine and Blackwater will be under siege and it’s up to you and your allies to fend off waves of attackers in Call to Arms. In return for your bravery, defending Valentine through November 29 and Blackwater from November 30 to December 6 will pay out an extra 50% RDO$.

Double RDO$ and XP on Shootout and Team Shootout Modes

Shootout and Team Shootout — classic gunfight modes with unlimited lives where you compete to rack up the most kills before the timer runs out — are an excellent way to come together with friends and family and earn Double RDO$ and XP while you’re at it.

Blood Money Rewards

If you’d prefer to get your hands muddied and bloodied by taking part in loathsome criminal activities, completing any Blood Money Contract before November 30 will earn you an Offer for 50% off select Outfits (up to Rank 15).

Those who manage to snag the Covington Emerald will receive an Offer for 5 Gold Bars off the Bounty Hunting Licenses, Collector’s Bag, Butcher’s Table, Naturalist’s Sample Kit, or the Moonshine Shack. If you already own all of those, you’ll receive an Offer for a free Role Outfit, Accessory, or Emote. Please allow up to 72 hours for your Rewards and Offers to arrive.

Also look for Capitale boosts across all Blood Money Contract Missions until November 29. Small and Large Chests along with criminals will have increased Capitale rewards to help you prepare for more Opportunities.
