The USA is celebrating its National Day these days, and in Red Dead Online, the multiplayer mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, it is also festive. There are some discounts and additional bonuses, as well as free items to grab. Players are already sharing tips on how to use the celebrations to save money in the game in the future.
What is happening in Red Dead Online? This week, Red Dead Online is all about July 4th, Independence Day in the USA. There are some bonuses, discounts, and free items that players can grab from July 2nd to July 8th.
The well-intentioned gesture from the developers has quickly caught the attention of players. Because during the celebration period, there is free gun oil. Clever players are using this to save money in the game in the future.
How are players using this to their advantage? Gun oil is used in Red Dead Redemption 2 and the online mode Red Dead Online to clean one’s weapon. Because after use, the guns get dirty and perform worse over time.
Gun oil can prevent this. This important item can be found in the world of Red Dead Online or purchased from merchants for 1.50 RDO$. The price doesn’t seem too high at first glance, however, money in RDO is very scarce, which means that even 1.50 RDO$ can strain reserves, especially if one needs the oil regularly.
The little money earned in RDO is also a reason why players are constantly searching for new money glitches. With the release from beta, the economy was recently adjusted in the online mode.
Players in the RDR subreddit are therefore giving a valuable tip to ensure that for the next while, they should be set with gun oil: Use the free gun oil as often as possible and make sure to have as many items on hand as you can carry by the end of the celebrations. This would be 99 pieces of gun oil.
In addition, you can order more items through the catalog and then store them in your mailbox. This would again be 99 gun oil.
What else is there about the celebrations? Besides the free gun oil, there’s also the emote “Respectful Bow” available for free this week. Additionally, there are free red, white, and blue flags for your camp.
There are discounts on red, white, and blue bandanas, as well as on the popular Evans Repeater and selected weapon parts. You can find the best weapons for RDR 2 and RDO here.
Until July 8th, players can also look forward to 30% more RDO$ and XP in all free roam missions.
