Red Dead Redemption 2 is still a brilliant game to go back to, despite the fact that it’s coming up on almost a decade since the original release. That said, Rockstar never deigned to give us any official DLC, and so many players have already explored everything the single-player has to offer, and then some.
That leaves the multiplayer as our main port of call for the time being, and Rockstar has been impressively diligent about bringing new experiences to those modes for players to enjoy. The latest of those is now live, and there are plenty of free downloads available for your online character that should really make them stand out from the crowd.
Over on the official Rockstar website, you should be able to find the breakdown for the Role Bonuses event, that as the name may suggest, brings plenty of worthwhile boosts for all Red Dead Online characters.
The event has been underway for a little while, so the most time-sensitive portion that you’ll want to be aware of is as follows:
- June 9–15: Rank 20 Bounty Hunters will receive a Reward for the Civil War Battlefield Treasure Map
There’s still plenty to scoop beyond that though, with double RDO$ and XP on All Bounties, while completing any Legendary Bounty before June 29 will reward the Clovelly Shirt. You can also pick up 2X RDO$ and XP for completing Moonshine Sales, Trader Sales, and Naturalist Sample Sales.
Each week also presents the opportunity for a different role to pick up a treasure map, with the full rotation as follows:
- June 9–15: Rank 20 Bounty Hunters will receive a reward for the Civil War Battlefield Treasure Map
- June 16–22: Rank 20 Collectors will receive a reward for the O’Creagh’s Run Treasure Map
- June 23–29: Rank 20 Traders will receive a reward for the Bluewater Marsh Treasure Map
There is also a new community inspired outfit available free of charge, where all you need to do is assemble it from the catalog. The list of items you’ll need to recreate the look is:
- Regimental Hat
- Fernwater Coat
- Union Suit (Male) or Work Shirtwaist (Female)
- Worn Rolled Pants
- Lumber Boots
- Neckerchief
It’s worth keeping an eye on all of the monthly Red Dead Online event rotations, as each brings a different set of rewards that are well worth picking up for your character. We also likely aren’t going to get anything else from Rockstar while they turn all their focus onto GTA VI, so multiplayer really is our best bet for a rootin’ tootin’ good time moving forward.
