With the new update “Blood Money”, a new currency has arrived in Red Dead Online. In this guide, MeinMMO shows you how to find Capitale and what you can actually do with it.
What exactly is Capitale? It is a currency created by Saint Denis gangster boss Angelo Bronte to expand his power and avoid the government’s tax system.
It was originally designed as an exclusive currency for the “elite of crime”, but in Blood Money it has found its way into the hands of ordinary thieves and scoundrels. You are now supposed to retrieve it.
Finding Capitale in Red Dead Online
How to find Capitale: With Blood Money, two new types of missions have been introduced. These are the so-called “Crimes and Opportunities”.
To obtain Capitale, you have to complete crimes. While these missions do not guarantee you the special currency, they are one of the few guaranteed sources in the game.
How to start a crime mission: If you haven’t made acquaintance with Guido Martelli after downloading the update, you should do that first. You can find Bronte’s underboss in Saint Denis. He will be marked on the map and is located in the center in the garden of Saint Denis.
Once you have met Martelli, you will be introduced to the crimes. From now on, you have four contacts that will give you crimes:
- Sean Macguire in Tall Trees or Great Plains
- Joe in Osman Grove, New Hanover
- Anthony Foreman: In Rhodes or at the tavern in Saint Denis
- James Langton in Hennigan’s Stead or in Lake Don Julio
The contacts will also be displayed on the map, so you should be able to find them without any problems.
When you are on such a mission, you should really loot everything that isn’t bolted down. This includes all chests, bodies, cabinets, and other things you can search. In every box and in every bag, there could be a Capitale letter hidden.
However, there are also a few other options to obtain Capitale. If you have enough gold bars, you can buy a mercenary package from merchants that contains Capitale. Or you can search unsecured houses and loot in free mode. Here you have a small chance of also making a haul.
Capitale brings opportunity
What can you do with Capitale? You need Capitale to start an opportunity mission. These are multi-part heists. A feature that players in Red Dead Online have been waiting for a long time.
In the context of the update’s story, you are supposed to steal the three jewels of the West to harm a politician from Saint Denis for Martelli and Bronte.
The amount of the starting fee depends on the difficulty level. The cost to start a heist is:
- Normal: 15 Capitale
- Hard: 20 Capitale
- Ruthless: 25 Capitale
Each gang member participating in the opportunity mission must pay the fee.
The difficulty determines how high your reward will ultimately be. Currently, only one of the three announced opportunities is available in the game. The other two are expected to follow later.
What else is included in the update, we have summarized in our overview of Blood Money for you.
