Rockstar News: Red Dead 2 Online reveal, GTA 5 news and Red Dead Redemption 2 update

Red Dead Redemption 2 Online has been available less than a week, but fans are already getting through all the content they can.

Missions seem to be the best way of making money right now unless you’re willing to try out some known glitches or risk a hunting trip.

This includes finding valuables and then exiting out through the free roam option, before arriving back in the servers, to loot the area again.

This will probably get patched out by Rockstar Games, who are still beta testing their new Red Dead Online experience.

And the good news for those who want to see some changes in the coming weeks is that the dev team are already looking at feedback.

“The Red Dead Online Beta is now officially open to everyone with a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2,” a message from Rockstar reads.

“Choose to make your mark as either a gunslinger or an outlaw. Join or form posses, battle enemy gangs, hunt, fish and search for treasure, challenge other settlers and much more in this brand new multiplayer story.

“Over the first few days of early access, we’ve already received a lot of great feedback from the community.

“Please make sure to keep it coming at reddeadonline.com/feedback – as we’re constantly working to improve and evolve the experience.”

Rockstar Games also revealed some news about the current missions available to complete in-game.

According to the development team, Land of Opportunities can be replayed to offer a new path, if you’re willing to change your honor.

“If you made all positive honor decisions throughout and want to see how the storyline changes and push your honor in the other direction, you can replay making all negative honor decisions (and vice versa), all while receiving further payout and experience.”

Rockstar has also confirmed news about the online Treasure Maps, and how they are rewarded.

According to the development team, players receive Treasure Maps for every 5 ranks after they reach rank 10.

There’s also a chance you’ll uncover a Treasure Map when looting enemy bodies after clearing a Hideout or surviving an Ambush.

Players of Rockstar’s other massive multiplayer experience, GTA Online, have received the latest round of discounts and upgrades.

Still waiting for new content to be added to the game, GTA Online fans will have to make do with building up their cash reserves.

Revealing the latest in-game bonuses, Rockstar confirms in a new statement: “There’s nothing more exhilarating than threading a jetpack between the apartment blocks of downtown Los Santos. There’s nothing more hair-raising than being at the controls of a delta wing military bomber. And there’s nothing more psychologically damaging than rapidly moving between the two. Morph through all 39 Rockstar Transform Races and receive Double GTA$ & RP through December 3rd.

“Bikers looking to bring in some extra cash this week can make their way to the Clubhouse meeting room and launch any Clubhouse Contract for 2X GTA$ & RP.

“Cargo is selling for a premium across Southern San Andreas with double rewards on Smuggler’s Run Sell Missions as well as a 25% mark-up on all Special Cargo Deliveries.”

Fans can also get up to 40% off heavy-duty stalwarts like the MOC and Rhino tank or deck out their armada with a selection of premium aircraft.

A new Red Dead Redemption 2 update was released earlier this week, containing an unknown amount of changes.
