If you’re wandering the dusty streets of Red Dead Online, wondering how to fill your pockets faster than a poker player can bluff their way through a hand, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s face it: with all those shiny new hats and weapons calling your name, it pays to know how to make some quick cash in the Wild West. So grab your six-shooter, and let’s get into it!
GO Treasure Hunting
If gunslinging isn’t your style, or if you’d rather keep your hands clean while raking in the dough, why not channel your inner pirate and become a treasure hunter? It’s like being Indiana Jones but with a cowboy hat instead of a fedora!
You can score treasure maps through various means:
- Leveling Up — Every five levels nets you a map from Rockstar Games. Just check that camp lockbox or swing by the post office.
- Gang Hideout Challenges — Wrap up gang hideouts, take down the boss, and voilàm, a map awaits you at the end!
- Outlaw Passes — Grab one of these passes and occasionally score maps through the Benefits page.
- Posted on Trees — Look for illuminated trees while exploring; treasure maps might be stuck.
- Treasure Hunters — Meet other NPCs on their hunts who’ll sell you maps… or rob them; it is Red Dead, after all.
This approach may not be the fastest way to make a bank, but nothing beats living out those treasure-hunting fantasies!
Become a Bounty Hunter
The West, each offering decent payouts as long as you can track down those wanted scoundrels.
You start by picking up a Bounty Hunter License in Rhodes for 15 Gold Bars (pocket change once you roll in dough). The legendary bounties will have you raking in cash alongside loot from fallen enemies! Imagine picking off targets with that fancy bolt-action rifle before swooping in for loot; it’s almost poetic!
If you’re feeling ambitious and willing to fork over another 30 Gold Bars, you can snag the Prestigious Bounty Hunter License. This unlocks even juicier targets that promise better rewards overall. Now, that sounds like an adventure worth embarking on!
Loot Gangs
Sneaky tactics are key here! Completing gang hideout missions offers heaps of cash rewards without much fuss. Many hideouts are manageable solo—so if bounty hunting got too chaotic last time, consider this route instead.
Your weapon choice matters: I’m partial to repeaters; they pack quite the punch while keeping enemies at bay. Plus, completing these hideouts often nets you treasure maps, too! Who knew crime could pay so well?
Free Roam Events and Missions
The beauty of Red Dead Online’s open world lies in its free-roaming events where fun meets profit head-on. Whether it’s participating in Showdown Series or horse races, these activities can skyrocket your earnings quickly when timed right.
If you’re fresh to play online, prepare for Rockstar-hosted events that often offer double money and gold during specific weekly challenges. Playing with friends makes tackling these missions even more enjoyable, you’ll rack up rewards while having fun together rather than grinding away solo!
Beyond bounty hunting lies an array of roles like Specialist Roles or Naturalist Roles waiting for adventurous souls eager to make some extra coinage along their journeys through The West.
The Moonshiner Role stands out as one of my favorites, it does require some setup with story missions upfront, but trust me, once you’ve unlocked this little business venture? You’ll see profits rolling faster than horses galloping away from trouble!
