According to Rockstar, new methods will be introduced in the next update for Red Dead Online that allow you to earn money in less than lawful ways. Apparently, you will be able to rob homesteads. MeinMMO reveals what is currently known.
What is coming with the next update? Unfortunately, Rockstar’s information is not very detailed, but it already roughly indicates what to expect.
The announcement mentions new opportunities for players to “earn” money in free mode. It seems that violent actions will also be part of the update, as is fitting for outlaws.
When can we expect the update? So far, no exact date is known. The announcement mentions a summer update. Players may not have to wait much longer. What is known so far about the new update, we summarize here for you.
Robberies on homesteads and camps, is a new outlaw pass coming?
What to expect: The update is said to introduce “all types of new illegal ventures for those willing to act in a somewhat – morally flexible – manner,” as the developer states on its website. (via rockstargames.com)
- For example, it is said to be possible to rob various homesteads and camps in all 5 states of the free mode.
- Additionally, there should be further opportunities to fill your pockets otherwise.
- These activities are said to incur no upfront costs for players.
There is also talk of a new membership and extra rewards. There will likely be a new outlaw pass. However, it was not very popular in the past and received a lot of criticism.
No further details are known yet, but Rockstar promises to present more details in the near future. Initial player reactions are mixed.
As long as there’s new content, but is it worth enough money?
Here’s how some players are reacting to the announcement: In the subreddit of Red Dead Online, players are reacting very differently. Some are just excited for new content. One player writes: “Content is content, so I guess I’m happy about that. ‘Early’ summer sounds great too.” (via reddit.com)
Another player seems to doubt whether the robberies will pay off: “I can’t wait to rob a house for 46 cents.” (via reddit.com). This likely refers to how hard it can be to earn money in RDO.
Overall, despite all skepticism, players are excited about the announcement and are curious about what other methods of earning money will be introduced to the game.
