The online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, Red Dead Online, is set to be expanded with new features. Rockstar announced roles for the summer that will allow players to dive deeper into the Wild West.
What has been announced? Rockstar is looking towards the future for Red Dead Online and plans to bring additional new content with upcoming updates. After the end of the beta, the game will receive specific roles in the summer that players can choose from.
Players can first choose the roles of Bounty Hunter, Treasure Hunter, and Trader.
These are the jobs: These specific “jobs” are intended to open up new gameplay opportunities and allow players to immerse themselves even deeper into their character.
Bounty Hunters hunt for wanted criminals, Treasure Hunters scour the Wild West for special treasures and extraordinary items, and Traders can build a lucrative business in their own camp.
Additionally, with the various roles, new outfits, weapons, and other rewards will come to RDO, which players can earn. Whether they choose to focus on a single role and quickly unlock the unique abilities of a job or take on multiple roles at once is up to them.
Rockstar is taking a different approach with Red Dead Online than with GTA Online: In the online mode of GTA 5, progress revolves around money as well as the ownership of properties and vehicles, while Red Dead Online now focuses on character development.
What does this feature bring? Rockstar continues to work on delivering a world where players can play as they wish. For instance, with the large spring update, they have introduced a passive mode in which players cannot be lassoed and receive less damage from enemy players.
With the upcoming jobs, players can dive even deeper into the Wild West and take on fitting roles in the world.
This feature is likely to be well received by the role-playing community. The online mode of GTA 5 has a thriving RP community that not only attracts thousands of players, but also regularly draws in enthusiastic viewers on Twitch.
