New Red Dead Online Update Sees The Return Of Two Notable RDR2 Faces

Rockstar has revealed the details for its newest content update to Red Dead Redemption 2‘s online mode, Red Dead Online, which recently left beta. If you play on PS4, you’ll have early access to some of the content, but those with an Xbox One will also get the update’s entire collection of add-ons soon enough.

The update adds new Free Roam missions, which see the return of two characters from Red Dead Redemption 2’s campaign. You can join Sadie Adler on a ride out to the Adler Ranch or head to Lemoyne to seek out Black Belle. These Free Roam missions will be made available on both PS4 and Xbox One at the same time.

Both PS4 and Xbox One players will also receive a 25% increase when it comes to A Land of Opportunity and Free Roam missions, as well as all Showdown modes, Races, and Free Roam events. If you’re a part of a posse, you’ll also earn an extra five Gold Bars, RDO$, and XP as a bonus when your friends play together.

The rest of the update’s content is coming to PS4 first but will make its way to Xbox One eventually. On PS4, Red Dead Online will provide early access to the Ancient Tomahawk weapon, two new Showdown modes, and the Perlino Andalusian Horse, as well as new horse equipment, clothing, and emotes. The two new Showdown modes are Make It Count: Ancient Tomahawk and Last Stand. The new clothing includes items from the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. Catalogue, such as the Wescott Skirt, Valdez Vest, Citadel Boots, and Plaid Cap.

In a blog post, Rockstar also mentioned that the update makes several quality-of-life fixes to Red Dead Online. “We continue to work behind the scenes to address overall game stability and performance with recent fixes including closing some duplication exploits, resolving issues related to reduced numbers of animals in sessions, updating Defensive mode to revert Playing Style to Offensive and apply a Hostility penalty when stealing cargo from another player’s horse and more,” the developer wrote.
