In Red Dead Online, you do not get stronger by leveling up, but unlock a lot of items. We will show you here how to progress especially quickly in the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Many weapons and accessories are hidden behind a level restriction in Red Dead Online. So if you want to make the most out of your character, you should progress as far as possible through the available 100 levels.
We have summarized for you how to reach the maximum level in Red Dead Online the fastest.
Leveling up made easy
If you own the Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2, you have a slight advantage in leveling up in Red Dead Online. Up to rank 25, you receive a bonus that gives you more experience points.
All others need not despair, as leveling up will be a piece of cake with these tips.
Story and Side Missions
Story Missions: The story missions guide you through the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 and are largely optional. You can complete them with other players or your own posse.
In the story missions, you can earn experience points multiple times, as you receive points during the mission as well as upon completion. Additionally, you can repeat the quests as long as your story missions do not disappear. However, you only receive the money bonus for your first completion.
If you complete the missions with all gold challenges, you will get even more XP.
Side Missions: Side missions are indicated to you with orange or red markers. They usually consist of tasks that can generally be completed quickly. Sometimes you may need to take someone down or deliver mail within a time limit.
Showdown Playlist
If you prefer more adrenaline and want to compete against other players, the competitive Showdown Playlist is probably your best choice. Currently, six different modes are available where you can show who the best outlaw in the Wild West is.
The PvP modes offer the highest XP output – but only if you are successful. The bonuses you receive for a victory make this type of leveling up so efficient.
We have gathered all the modes and how they work here for you.
Challenges
If you do not feel like missions or PvP, you can also simply chase challenges. There are challenges for many different playstyles, whether you prefer to go hunting, skin animals, buy or sell items, or simply take down opponents or other players with the various weapons.
Of course, you have to repeat these activities a few times, but with every milestone, you will receive a certain amount of experience points. To give you a little more incentive, you will even receive a special belt buckle for some challenges, which you can use to adorn your character.
