Red Dead Online Q&A

[icefds 383]

*Can you tame horses and keep them? Or do you have to buy them?

 

*What stuff/parts can you upgrade in your camp?

 Does it just cost money to upgrade, or do you need stuff like pelts etc?

 

*Possible to upgrade your stachel?

 

Edit:

 

*If you have your inventory full of pelts/flowers, do you lose all of it, when someone kills you?

Dang - yeah, that's what I'd heard. 

 

If I were being charitable, I'd say that maybe it's because this whole period is as much a 'stress test' as anything, to see how RDO copes when opened up to the public (because of the woes of launch-era GTAO) - forcing everyone to be in public sessions for the beta means more instances of full sessions for R* to look at.

 

On the other hand, this is also the first look at a R* Online mode in a post-SecuroServ world - as in, GTAO went from 'you can hand-pick every player in a session, and choose whatever kind of session you want' to 'if you're not in a public session, you can't do most of the new stuff', and I suspect that RDO is going to start with that latter mentality underpinning it (which isn't good news for lone wolves, fans of PvE over PvP, or just people who don't like being griefed by idiot randos...).

"which isn't good news for lone wolves" this.

 

and that is weird since early on they stated that online would be for all player typers including group AND solo play.

Has anyone been able to remove a jacket after equipping a UE outfit?

How do I access the player menu?

To change who can access my horse, change my walking style etc.

 

It opens once for you, (forced) and after that I have NFI how to get it back or if we were even told how to :s

Are character names visible to other players?

Only your PSN ID / XBL apparently. Kind of a shame.

Can we fish and set up fire for crafting anywhere?

 

What about side activities like cards, dominos, finger fillet?

Does NAT test still work for a private public lobby?

Why is everything so unbelievably expensive? You make maybe a few dollars doing a mission. Looting enemies gets you maybe $0.20. I've found no way to sell pelts or stolen/looted items. Yet a simple upgrade to a base gun is like $80!  You unlock the bolt action at level 7, but good effing luck having even remotely the amount needed to buy it. Hell, even haircuts or facial hair is ridiculous ($40 for facial hair??? GTFO)

 

I get that progression is a thing and you should have to work for things. But this is ridiculous. At this rate, it'll be a month before I can buy anything of value. Or am I missing something?

 

This right here  ^^ is what is going to kill the joy of this game for me pretty quickly. I get they want us to buy bars, but i refuse to do so. I work for a living and have a family , i dont have 10 hours a day to "grind" for weeks so i can afford things in the game. If your going to basically lock stuff out from people like myself who have an actual life..... your making it much less appealing Rock* . So sad, but honestly not at all surprised. Guess ill spend more time playing other games that dont make you grind your real life away to afford things in game.

I believe they are ambient and spawn at random times. But a good chunk. Have already done 5 "different ones" I have gone back to one about 3 times at night.

Disappointing, I remember being mildly excited to choose my name in GTAO only to discover you barely see it. I was like, what's the point.

kinda surprised it dont though, prob come in an update, because then it will be something else you gotta spend money on unless you want your character to look like grizzley adams all the time. Just one more way to try to put the squeeze on you to purchase them gold bars. Greedy mo fos.

Wrong thread. Just wait a couple of day's by sleeping though.

Has anyone found a way to sell pelts?  Hunting is my favorite activity in the game, so I sure hope I can make at least a little money doing so!

I apologize for my ignorance. Could you perhaps point me in the direction of the correct thread where I can ask how to trigger the remaining RDO story missions? Please.

That's RDR2 single player. I'm talking about the Red Dead Online yellow marker, 2-4 player "story" missions.

 

I'll try help and support.

 

Thanks.
