A Spotlight on Trader Bonuses in Red Dead Online this Month – Plus 2X RDO$ on Free Roam Missions, Call to Arms, and More
In the months ahead, Red Dead Online will continue to showcase the opportunities for players to chart their adventures across the game’s vast frontier, with special events featuring bonuses on Specialist Roles, fan-favorite Showdown Modes, and all manner of unique experiences added to the game since launch.
Monthlong Trader Bonuses
With increased demand for furs during the winter months, trappers and merchants of all sorts (Butchers and Gus Macmillan included) will pay out an extra 50% RDO$ bonus for all Pelts delivered to them all month long. Pelts turned in as Materials to Cripps will also have an increased value, while all Trader Sales completed throughout the month of February will pay out double RDO$.
Experienced Traders who band together to protect a haul of goods from attackers in the Trade Route Free Roam Event will receive 2X Character and Role XP for their efforts. And all Traders who play Red Dead Online this month will also receive 10 Predator Bait, while Naturalists will receive 10 Blending Tonics.
2X RDO$ on Free Roam Missions
Keep an eye out for strangers and familiar faces offering Free Roam Missions while out and about on your travels — including the likes of Jake and Sadie Adler, Bonnie MacFarlane, Josiah Trelawny, Sean Macguire, and many more. These adventures are paying out 2X RDO$ as well, regardless of your nobility or notoriety.
2X RDO$ and XP on Plunder
Seize and steal supplies from a central location and deliver them safely back to your home base in Plunder, this month’s featured Showdown Mode. Be on the lookout for thieves from the opposing team or pilfer from their stash. Whichever team is sitting atop the most loot wins. PlayingPlunder will result in 2X RDO$ and XP for the next month.
2X RDO$ and XP on Call to Arms
Grab your weapons, place your allies at strategic positions around the perimeter, and batten down the hatches against wave after wave of ruthless attack. This month the fan-favorite Call to Arms mode is also paying out 2X RDO$ and XP.
