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.

Moonshiners Earn Extra for Satisfying Local Thirst

The Revenue Agents want to crack down on the movement of illicit swill, leading to a surge in demand for the hard stuff. In addition to discounts on the Moonshine Shack and the Bar Expansion, there’s serious money to be made bootlegging and keeping the supply flowing, including:

• 2X RDO$ and XP on all Moonshine Sales
• 3X RDO$ and XP on Moonshiner Story Missions

In addition, there are a selection of bonuses for enterprising Moonshiners — more on that below.

Double RDO$, XP, and Gold on Blood Money Contracts

Not everyone you meet in the West is on the side of the law, good, and all that’s right in the world. Blood Money Contracts are multi-part missions exploring the criminal underworld and its denizens.

Once you meet with underboss Guido Martelli and make inroads with outlaws, set a course to meet with his associates Anthony Foreman, James Langton, Sean Macguire, or Joe to launch Blood Money Contracts. Completing The Railroad Contract, The Jeb Phelps Contract, The Bluewater Contract, The Dockside Contract, The Saloons Contract, or The Cornwall Contract will earn you Double Rewards.

Also, make sure to rifle through the pockets of your fallen foes and loot chests along the way to find more Capitale than usual.

Free Roam Bonuses

Take on Free Roam Missions and Free Roam Events while you’re out and about on your travels with your Posse. Both are paying out a 50% RDO$ and XP bonus for completing them while part of a Posse.
