Written by Brandon Hofer on September 10, 2019

News: Some new online content has just been released where you get to pick the path you want to go down to try and thrive in Rockstar’s open world.

Red Dead Online has received some new content with Red Dead Online: Frontier Pursuits. There are three new Frontier Pursuits, each presenting their own unique path filled with themed activities such as Role-specific Free Roam Events, items, unlockable abilities and much more for players looking to thrive on the frontier. You can choose to become a Bounty Hunter and hunt down dangerous criminals, partner with Cripps in an entrepreneurial venture to turn their camp into a bustling business as a Trader, unearth treasures both valuable and arcane as a Collector, focusing on one role at a time or all three at once.

In addition to Specialist Roles, today’s update also includes a wide range of new features and gameplay changes to enhance the overall experience:

New items, weapons, clothing, and horse-drawn vehicles

Directional damage indicators to display where your character is hit from

Additional horse breeds

The ability to change your character’s appearance without resetting progress

Expanded custom outfit slots

The ability to name saved outfits

Role-specific Free Roam Events

Increased selling prices for looted Jewelry

Increased movement and animations speeds for more responsive combat (including aiming, cocking and reloading), faster looting and more

Additional game balancing and improvements

Each role has a standard startup cost of 15 Gold Bars to acquire a Bounty Hunter License, Butcher Table or Collector’s Bag. However, it's also possible to unlock each startup item for free. Twitch Prime Members who linked their Twitch and Rockstar Games Social Club accounts by Sunday September 8th will receive the Bounty Hunter License free of charge, while those who missed that deadline should see the License appear free within 72 hours of linking their accounts. Collectors who successfully hunted down all 54 hidden playing cards in GTA Online can claim the Collector’s Bag for free through October 14th, while all aspiring Traders with an active PlayStation Plus subscription will receive the Butcher’s Table for free through October 14th.

Players who venture into Red Dead Online anytime between September 10th and November 18th, 2019 will be automatically enrolled in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Club. This completely free membership provides new clothing and accessories, a special gun wrap, bonus cash, free care packages, an emote, a new graphic camp flag and more to all participants.

Those looking for even more perks and gear can opt for The Outlaw Pass which, for 35 Gold Bars, offers more rewards over time such as exclusive clothing, weapons stylings, campsite themes, bonus cash, Gold gifts up to 35 Gold Bars and much more.
