Commune with Wildlife and Thrive as a Naturalist in Red Dead Online – Double RDO$ and XP for Completing Naturalist Free Roam Events, Naturalist Sample Sales, Double Rewards on Featured Series, and More
Surrounding the frontier’s burgeoning and bustling towns are packs of animals coexisting with their human counterparts. While some may see these splendid creatures only as a meal source or covering against a forthcoming winter, Naturalists who take a more discerning approach to the wildlife inhabiting the five states will reap the rewards with Double RDO$ and XP on Naturalist Sample Sales, Legendary Animal Protection Free Roam Events, and more through July 31.
Naturalist Bonuses
Ardent Naturalists know that hunting and poaching aren’t the most fitting ways to benefit from up-close encounters with wild animals. Those who’ve visited Strawberry to acquire the Naturalist’s Sample Kit (10 Gold Bars off through July 31) understand that there are greater rewards in researching or protecting the fauna of the frontier.
There’s also nothing quite like coming face to face with a Moonstone Wolf, Sapa Cougar, or another Legendary Animal. Naturalists who reach Rank 5 will be able to launch Legendary Animal Sighting Missions from Harriet’s tent, handing out 2X XP and Role XP. Protect the Sapa Cougar, Moonstone Wolf and more to earn 2X RDO$ and XP on Legendary Animal Protection Free Roam Events.
2X RDO$ and XP on Naturalist Sample Sales
