If you have ever wondered what it would have been like to exist in the American Frontier during the turn of the 20th century, then look no further than Red Dead Redemption 2, the Rockstar Games action-adventure game which took the world by storm when it launched for the first time back in 2018.
Following the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan and serving as a prequel to Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 received critical and commercial success, with praise for its story, characters, setting, soundtrack, and gameplay. However, with Rockstar soon turning its attention to development for Grand Theft Auto VI, its Red Dead franchise has taken a bit of a back seat in recent years.
That being said, whilst there may be no news of a potential Red Dead Redemption 3, Red Dead Online has been the subject of monthly updates since it launched alongside RDR2 back in 2018. Allowing players to create their very own outlaws and cause chaos across the world’s stunning open-world, July is no exception when it comes to some exciting new updates.
July and part of August is home to the Bounty Hunter Bonuses event in Red Dead Online, where players can band together to take down criminals to earn discounts, 3x Rewards, XP, RDO$ and more.
“Bring dangerous criminals across the frontier to heel and earn 3X RDO$, XP, and Role XP dragging in Regular Bounties, and 3X RDO$, XP, and Gold hauling in Legendary and Infamous Bounties,” the official Rockstar blog post reads.
Throughout the month, successfully turning in any bounty in Red Dead Online will reward you with the ‘Asking for Trouble’ emote, whilst completing a legendary bounty will earn you the ‘War Cry’ emote. Last but not least, completing all of your Hunter Daily Challenges will add the green Morning Tail Coat to your in-game wardrobe.
As is the case with every monthly Red Dead Online event, you will be able to earn weekly rewards by taking part in various challenges, and the first week’s challenge is set to end on 6 July, giving you just 24 hours to complete it. To get your hands on three Hawkmoth Bolas and 100 rounds of Express Repeater Ammo, simply complete two bounties. Then, beginning on 7 July, you will be able to embark on the next challenge, which consists of completing an Activity with a Persistent Posse to receive the blue Eberhart Coat.
The full list of weekly challenges can be found on the Rockstar blog, but if you wish to get your hands on limited-time cosmetics, emotes, weapons, ammo, and more, make sure to log into Red Dead Online each week and see what is up for grabs.
