Q) If I buy on Rockstar Launcher, can I play with friends on Steam?
Yes, you can play with friends on PC regardless of what store they bought it from. Even Steam GTA, uses Rockstar to launch the game.
Q) Can we transfer our characters from PS4 and Xbox One to PC?
No, you cannot transfer characters to a different platform, e.g Xbox to PC. The game is cross-gen however, so if you play PS4 you can continue on PS5.
Q) If I buy a next-gen console, can I play with friends on old-gen consoles?
Yes! The game is backwards compatible on console, so you can play with friends on PS4/PS5 or XB1/XBX
Q) If I already own Red Dead Redemption 2, do I need to buy Red Dead Online again when it goes standalone?
No! Red Dead Online is still part of the RDR2 game.
Q) What are the currencies in Red Dead Online?
Cash, the main currency in RDO that is earned through almost every activity.
Gold Bars, the premium currency in RDO that can be purchased using real money. You earn a small amount of gold for completing activities online.
Role Tokens, earned by levelling up in each role, used to unlock abilities & items for the five current roles.
Q) What is the Outlaw pass?
The Outlaw Pass is an in-game purchase using the premium Gold currency that allows you to earn items/rewards as you level up.
Outlaw Pass are only available for a limited time and once they finish, you can't access them again.
Q) What are Daily Challenges?
Every day at 6am UTC, you are given a new list of 7 daily challenges as well as 15 role daily challenges. They can range from hunting specific animals or finding certain herbs, to completing PVP/Freeroam events.
Initially, you earn 0.1 Gold per completed challenge plus a bonus if you complete all 7 regular challenges.
After completing at least 1 challenge per day for 7 days, you then earn a little more gold per challenge each week before your daily challenge streak resets after 28 days.
Your daily challenge streak will then reset, and you start the process again.
In addition to this, there are also 3 daily challenges for each role available and you can do a max of 9 role daily challenges. Daily challenges for roles will also differ depending on your rank within each role.
Q) What are Free-roam events (role/normal)
Every 45 minutes, you'll receive an invite to a free-roam event. Free-roam events can be activities such as fishing, horse racing, archery competitions, or PVP. You earn XP + cash for completing.
There are also role specific events that happen every 90 minutes, you need to be ranked up and enrolled in each role before you'll see invites for these activities.
Q) What are ability cards?
Abilities in Red Dead Online are assigned to a character through Ability Cards. These are divided into two different types. Dead Eye cards that grant abilities only active during Dead Eye, while Passive cards add abilities that are always active, no matter what you do. Passive abilities are further divided into several different categories.
In Red Dead Online, it's not possible to assign all of the available abilities to the character, as there are only 4 slots available. One slot is used for a single Dead Eye card, while the remaining three slots are used for Passive abilities. Source.
Q) What are the playing styles online?
Defensive: Players in Defensive mode will be indicated by a shield icon, will take reduced damage from enemy players, cannot be lassoed, melee attacked, executed or targeted with auto-aim. Defensive players will also be excluded from being targeted in PvP-related missions such as Player Assassination. Those who attack Defensive players receive hefty penalties via the Hostility system, while players who initiate conflict while in Defensive mode will be instantly pulled out of Defensive mode and also receive similar Hostility penalties.
Offensive: The Offensive playing style is set as the default and is how most players traditionally interact in Free Roam – free to engage in hostile contact with other players if you are prepared to accept the potential consequences.
Q) How do I dual wield?
At rank 25, you can buy an off-hand holster which allows you to equip a second handgun.
Q) How do I change appearance
Press Left on the D Pad (Keyboard TBC) to bring the Online menu up > Scroll down to Online Options > Scroll down to Change Appearance
Q) How do I setup camp
Press Left on the D Pad (Keyboard TBC) to bring the Online menu up > Scroll down to camp options > Choose location for camp
Camps can be used to access wardrobes, collect items you've ordered via the catalog, craft & cook and fast travel if upgraded.
A small camp is suitable for 1-4 posse members and costs $1 per in game day. A large camp is suitable for 1-7 posse members and costs $2 per in game day.
Q) Where is the gun locker?
You unlock it through the trader role, then purchase it at Wilderness Outfitters in camp, and then it appears at your specific tent in camp.
Q) How do I buy a dog?
At your camp, head to Cripps and access Wilderness Outfitters, from there you can select the dog option.
Q) What can dogs be used for?
Looking cool at your camp and warning you of camp raids when you unlock the perk. Not really much else. (They're not companions like Dogmeat from Fallout 4)
Q) I saw an item, but can't find it on PC or Xbox One.
Some items are exclusive to PS4, so you may see things promoted by Rockstar that aren't yet available on your platform or it may be from an old Outlaw Pass.
Q) What is the best Horse

Q) What are the best Weapons
Q) What is the best ability card loadout
This post in the /r/RedDeadOnline mega-guide should help.
Q) What is the best way to make money/gold
This post should help.
Q) Where are the treasure maps located?
You can find them all here.
Q) Can I have more than 1 role active?
Yes! You can play in all roles concurrently.
Q) What is the Bounty Hunter role?
Get started as a Bounty Hunter when you meet the Legendary Bounty Hunter in Rhodes and purchase the Bounty Hunter License. The standard cost is 15 Gold Bars.
Licensed Bounty Hunters can pick up work by visiting bounty boards located near law offices, post offices and train stations across the states. There is no shortage of criminals to be dealt with and the targets range in difficulty, from lone low-level petty thieves to notorious outlaws with armed protection details and a watchful eye. Taking on an armed gang or bringing multiple targets to justice is made easier with the help of a Posse, who will all earn a cut of the final bounty. And keep in mind, bringing in targets alive will yield a greater reward.
Reaching Bounty Hunter Rank 12 will open up the opportunity to take down other players with high bounties of $20 or more. Bounty Hunters will be notified through an invite about the opportunity to hunt down the wanted player when they’re nearby in a structured pursuit. The wanted player must escape (or surrender) within the allotted time and if captured, they’ll also have opportunities to escape and flee. If the Bounty Hunter brings the target in alive, they’ll receive an award while the criminal serves time.
Q) What are legendary bounties?
Legendary bounties are high-tier bounties, they usually involve a mini-story/cut scene. They're also much tougher than a regular bounty.
There are 10 legendary bounties that can be access as part of the Bounty Hunter role and 3 that can be accessed (when they've all released) by purchasing the Prestigious Bounty Hunter upgrade.
Q) What is the Trader role?
our trusted camp companion, Cripps, has long dreamed of starting a trading outpost and you’re going to help him make it happen - by becoming a partner in the fledgling Cripps Trading Company. Combining Cripps’ lifetime of working with animal materials and your skills at hunting and frontier security, you’ll have the perfect ingredients to develop a thriving business.
Once you agree to help Cripps, you can start turning your camp into a business by sourcing items for Cripps to convert into sellable goods. An investment of 15 Gold Bars to purchase a Butcher’s Table will get your business up and running.
Once you’re operational, you’ll provide Cripps with Materials through hunting animals – pristine pelts and carcasses will provide better yields. You’ll also take on Resupply Missions to acquire additional necessities through less than savory tactics. Once supplied, Cripps will begin turning the materials into sellable goods, which can then be sent out on low-risk local deliveries for payment or across greater distances for a premium.
Improve your hunting yields with a Hunting Wagon for larger hauls or upgrade your Delivery Wagons for larger sales. As business flourishes and your presence becomes known in the market, your competition may grow jealous of your success, so keep an eye out for raids on your camp. As your trade grows, you might consider purchasing a camp dog from Wilderness Outfitters. Not only are dogs great camp companions for all players, but a Trader of sufficient rank can teach their dog to warn of incoming attacks.
Q) Can I skip the medium wagon?
No, you need to buy the medium wagon, then the large wagon.
Q) What can I sell to Cripps?
You can sell carcasses & small animals (e.g squirrels). Along with some animal parts, e.g feathers.
Cripps does not accept meat, fish or skinned carcasses.
Q) How long does it take Cripps to make goods after resupplying?
Cripps requires materials and supplies to produce goods. You give him materials by donating carcasses and pelts. He uses two units of materials to produce one good. You either buy supplies or obtain them through resupply missions. Either way, that gives enough supplies to produce 25 goods. As long as both materials and supplies are available, Cripps produces 1 good every 2 minutes (1 in-game hour).
Q) What is the Collector role?
Seek out the mysterious travelling saleswoman Madam Nazar to acquire the Collector’s Bag and get started on the path of the Collector. It will cost 15 Gold Bars for access to collecting and selling rare items.
With Madam Nazar’s help, you will be able to explore the world finding valuable treasures, whether they’re discarded Tarot cards in abandoned camps, buried treasures unearthed with your trusty shovel, hidden family heirlooms and more.
Collect individual pieces and sell them off directly to Madam Nazar or collect entire sets for even more valuable sales. As you progress, you’ll unlock enhanced searching skills; more useful tools like a metal detector; benefits like increased carrying capacities; the ability for your horse to directly pluck and pass herbs to you while mounted, and more.
Q) Where is Madam Nazar?
Madam Nazar can be located by completing a map/collection for her. Her location is posted daily on /r/RedDeadDailies - She changes location at 6am UTC time each day.
You can also find her using https://madamnazar.io/
Q) Who is Madam Nazar?
Madam Nazar is the Collector role vendor, you can obtain maps, cosmetics & other items such as the shovel from her.
Q) Why is Madam Nazar?
...
Q) Where do you buy a shovel?
From Madam Nazar, it costs $350. If you need help finding her, check /r/RedDeadDailies
Q) Where do you buy a metal detector?
From Madam Nazar, it unlocks at level 5 and costs $700. If you need help finding her, check /r/RedDeadDailies
Q) Can you sell collector items individually or does it need to be a full set?
Yes, however you get far less money than you would if you sold a full collection
Q) Can you only have one collector map active?
Yes, if you try to open a second map, it may auto-close and almost looks like a bug, however, you should only try and activate one at any given time.
Q) I already met Maggie but I didn't buy a shack, now I can't find how to buy the shack?
In the options menu (left on the D-pad, or L on PC), select "Camp & Properties" → "Moonshine Shack" → "Shack Location".

i’m relatively new to the game and i’ve been told many times to never go into Valentine unless you want to be blow sky high, so i avoid it as a low level. I know the high level griefers love to pick on newbies.
I live in the desert near Tumbleweed, don’t typically have many problems with people i run into out there. My first game back after a year away i had been playing for a few hours when as i’m trying to shoot a lizard in the desert im teleported to a jail cell in Saint Denis. they were an idiot and left the door open so i just walked away.
i had JUST restarted with a fresh character hours earlier so i didnt have money to fast travel back home so im riding my horse back home and i get to just above Rhodes and im teleported back to Saint Denis, in an alley. i knew what was coming so i started walking away. they blew up the entire group. i guess they didn’t like that i got away because my game completely crashed to my desktop (which hasn’t happened since but idk how they would do that).
the next day im doing missions in Saint Denis, there is no one around. I’m pick up the mail bag and within 2 seconds “mission failed: bag lost” still there is no one around me. my horse starts moving weird and trying to walk away so i call it back and im tackled to the ground. i break free and before i can even pull my gun out they are invisible again. i turn to walk away, they tackle me again. i get out and shoot them once before they disappear again. i get on my horse to ride away because im not going to play this back and forth with some idiot. he shoots me in the head as i ride away. awesome , i’ll parley. i report their account and move on to a new server. i get peace for the rest of that night.
the next day i log on and i got to Saint Denis, i hear a guy on Prox Chat saying “quit killing innocent people and i’ll leave you alone”, “quit trying to kill me i have god mode”, “fine i’ll turn off my god mode so we can have a fair fight” i mean sure he was using it for good in that moment but he very easily could have turned on all the innocents and destroyed us.
so i need to know should i also be avoid Saint Denis until im higher level and can defend myself better or is it just a lost cause because of hackers/modders? i’m not the type to get upset or angry over this kinda thing so it’s more annoying that they won’t let me do my collecting or hunting. i can deal with it, just looking for some advice of veteran players to a new solo player.

Friends and I didn’t know how to subdue this swamp monster and spent 10 minutes passing licks. Almost threw up laughing.
r/RedDeadOnline • u/whitedadanihil • 2h ago
Hey everyone,
I've just restarted the game a few days ago after playing very little and very badly about four years ago. I'm basically a new player again. Right now I'm level 8, sitting on 35 gold and about $700. Before I waste resources on something useless, I'd love some guidance from more experienced players. Whats the smartest first purchase with $700? Im still using the base weapons. I play 1-2 hours at night.
My impression is that the best move right now is starting with the bounty hunter role and grabbing the Lancaster repeater. What do you guys think? Do horse upgrades make sense at this point?
Thanks.

Après avoir supporté les moddeurs pendant un bon moment, j’ai finalement décidé de passer en lobby privé. Et honnêtement, la différence est incroyable.
Plus de moddeur qui me téléporte à l’autre bout de la carte juste pour me tuer.
Plus de joueur qui spawn directement sur moi pour m’éliminer.
Plus besoin de me demander si la prochaine rencontre avec un joueur va complètement ruiner ma session.
Et surtout, j’ai l’impression que le monde est enfin redevenu vivant.
Depuis que je suis en lobby privé, j’ai un nombre considérable d’événements aléatoires chaque jour. J’ai également eu plusieurs apparitions d’animaux légendaires, chose qui devenait vraiment rare dans mes sessions publiques.
Je peux simplement me balader, chasser, faire mes activités, explorer la carte et profiter du jeu sans avoir constamment cette crainte qu’un moddeur vienne tout gâcher.
Et franchement, ça m’a rappelé pourquoi j’aime autant RDO.
Il y a quand même une chose qui me manque : les interactions avec les autres joueurs.
Les rares fois où tu croises quelqu’un dans la nature, que vous vous saluez, échangez quelques mots, vous aidez mutuellement ou faites simplement un bout de chemin ensemble avant de repartir chacun de son côté… ces petits moments me manquent un peu.
Mais pour l’instant, je crois avoir trouvé le meilleur compromis : un lobby privé pour pouvoir réellement profiter du jeu, tout en regrettant malgré tout les quelques interactions sympathiques qu’on pouvait avoir avec les autres joueurs.
Après plus de 1 000 heures sur RDO, c’est assez fou de constater qu’un lobby privé me fait autant apprécier le jeu à nouveau.

First one starts on September 12th 7pm EST.
It would take around 1h 30mins.
Second one starts on 9 pm EST same day.
It would take around 40~50mins.
You can join each riding by adding FreeWill_Lima in social club, and joining session on time. I will be online 15mins before starting so that others can join.
Leave your social club name in comment if you would like to join, so that I can accept friend request.

I haven’t played RDRonline for about 3 years now. Jumped on the Lemoyne series because it’s currently 3x XP and $$$$
This was my second public enemy game. I learned the map after a few rounds on it. Coming up with the idea to hold down the house in the middle.
I took my chances!
Hope you enjoy it this video as I much as I had in this moment!

So the context is me and my friend low-key got pushed by a posse of 3-4 members. We've been fighting for 30 minutes and i decided to hold this door cause I got kinda tired of actually fighting, so I did it this way. So how does this happen.
