Celebrate the Holidays with a New Red Dead Online Showdown
Additionally, A Merry Call to Arms Returns Featuring Double Rewards, Enhanced Sample Sale Bonuses, and Additional Incentives
Race across snowy terrain in Head for the Hills (Dodge a Bullet), which makes its comeback to Red Dead Online’s Featured Series with a holiday-themed map set in Ewing Basin.
Defenders strategically position themselves on elevated terrain and employ long-range weaponry to eliminate Runners individually as they attempt to reach the Safehouse. Gamers may earn Double RDO$, Gold, and XP on selected Head for the Hills maps within the Featured Series until December 8th. Additionally, winning a match provides a Reward of three Gold Bars.
Across the frontier, holiday celebrations are evident as winter becomes more prominent throughout the month. Guests may visit their Camp, Moonshine Shack, and the cobbled streets of Saint Denis to experience festive atmospheres. Additionally, the Krampus Shotgun variant will be available once again during the holiday season for those seeking a unique option.
Experience festive excitement as you battle waves of humbugs and troublemakers in a seasonal version of the popular Showdown Mode, A Merry Call to Arms. This event features a new standoff at Fort Wallace along with nine classic maps, each offering Double RDO$, XP, and Gold through January 5th. Find Telegrams with further details in your Camp Lockbox or at the local Post Office.
Gamers who reach Wave 4 will receive the Red Morning Tail Coat, while those attaining Wave 8 this month will earn an Offer for 10 Gold Bars off any Role Initiation Item.
Tranquilizing and collecting samples from local wildlife, followed by selling these samples to conservationist Harriet Davenport, will yield Triple RDO$, XP, and Role XP throughout this month, all while maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem’s natural life cycle (if you give a rat’s ass about such things).
Collecting a sample from a Legendary Animal grants access to the Prowler Hat, and selling any sample to Harriet will provide the Amador Pants. Additionally, Naturalists who have achieved Rank 20 may log in at any time this month to obtain the Amador Coat.
Everyone who plays Red Dead Online before January 5th will receive the Winter Variant of the Evans Repeater for free—just be careful not to shoot anyone’s eye out with it!
Gamers who log in during the holiday week (December 23rd – 31st) will receive the Redcliff Outfit. Furthermore, by returning between January 1st and the 5th, gamers are eligible to earn a Reward for a Free Emote, a complimentary Honor Reset, and a Weight Loss Tonic. The Krampus Shotgun will also be available for purchase from December 9th through January 5th.
Christmas isn't limited to eggnog and mistletoe—face those holiday blues with the Featured Series, which kicks off with Head for the Hills (Dodge a Bullet), now featuring an exciting new location at Ewing Basin.
The festive versions of Make It Count, Last Stand, Spoils of War, and additional selections will be available for the duration of the month.
Gamers have the opportunity to earn Triple RDO$, Ability Card XP, and XP by engaging in Free Roam Events, which are available every forty-five minutes throughout the frontier. These events offer frequent occasions to demonstrate competitive skills in various challenges.
