Going into a little more detail on this week’s event, trader resupplies and refills of Moonshine Mash will be free for its entire duration. Rockstar has also added another interesting detail into its announcement post: players who can complete the Veteran’s Collection and gather the 1792 Quarter, Old Tom Gin and Aubrey Onyx Ring will be “handsomely rewarded” if they bring all of those items to thetraveling merchant Madam Nazar.
The reward for doing this will present itself in both repuation and a monetary stipend, according to Rockstar. Meanwhile, players using Showdown Modes will be able to earn extra with triple rewards, including on the Gun Rush Featured Series.
Red Dead Onlinewill also be discounting the price of the Butcher Table by 5 gold bars. Other discounts include 40% off all guns and pamphlets, 50% off melee and thrown weapons, 60% off ammunition, and free gun oil. All in all, this week represents a good chanceforRed Dead Onlineplayersto get some decent playtime logged and save a bunch of in-game currency while doing it.
Recently, fans have been wondering ifRed Dead Onlineis dead. There’s been no word on a new expansion for some time, leading fans to grow frustrated in the absence of new content, especially during this time when everyone is stuck home more often than not.
While these weekly updates aren’t “new” content, per se, perhaps they’re a step in the right direction for Rockstar in giving itsRed Dead Onlineplayers a little more to do. Hopefully, news of a new expansion–or evenaRed Deadremake, as previously speculated–isn’t far behind.
Red Dead Onlineis available to play for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
