Red Dead Online Q&A

[GN 92 3,727]

Are they still using the term “shark cards” or is it a new name for the micro transaction horse sh*t?

Cheers chaps!  Considering the costs of everything, I'll be picking and hunting my own food as much as possible!

 

Speaking of hunting, Just sold a "Perfect" cougar (whole body) to the butcher for $13.50

Is there a 'proper' way to exit RDO? In GTAO it was best to manually exit GTA Online to force a save, but I'm not seeing a similar option here...

Well since “shark cards” are a credit card, and since there were no credit cards in the 1800’s they changed it to “gold bars”. But they ain’t available yet.

It's "Gold" now. The store will not be up until full release. Also "Gold" is only used as a bypass for Rank or just as a currency if you have no $.

 

@ARTHUR. I'm not aware of any narrator. I have completed what story there is online and haven't heard one.

Is there flying bikes?

1. Do you lose money when you die? About how much?

2. Can you do missions on your own?

3. Is there a chest or bank where you can store stuff or do you have to keep everything on your horse?

1. No

2. Story, no. Stranger missions, yes. Although some Stranger missions are difficult to do alone because they are on a timer.

3. There is a chest at your camp for when you order stuff through "Hand catalog". But for the most part it's like story mode where your horse is your storage for MOST things.

Sadly, he’s not. Gonna miss the “someone wants you to join their posse” and “someone has started a game”. Damn, nostalgia kicking in talking about it.

Does horse bonding not save?? I got on yesterday and got my horse to level 3, today I logged in and five minutes in I hit level 1. Uuuuh

Keep getting kicked from Gang Shootouts but can someone say if the “headshot” count on the scoreboard makes a return from Red Dead Redemption multiplayer? It was always fun to see who got the most headshots in matches amongst friends and randoms. People took that sh*t serious back in the glory days of RDR1 multiplayer.

 

Also, speaking of headshots... are golden plated weapons back by earning 100 Headshots with each individual weapon? I really hope we can’t purchase them (gold plated). Let us earn that sh*t. lol

[IamCourtney 6,935]

Yeah there seem to be some issues with horse bonding atm, I got the notification for hitting level 1 three times in about an hour.

[xl SENTRY lx 296]

@ottovanbeefsteak & @IamCourtney I would suggest hitting your "Start" for Xbox "Options button" for PS4 and check  Player-*Horse name*. Should show bonding lvl Physique, Mood etc....

I actually just got a notification saying I hit lvl 3 even though I never got one for lvl 1 or 2.

[ottovanbeefsteak 50]

Cool thanks!

I went to camp and in the pause menu selected 'exit game' as don't know if dashboarding is recommended, lol.

 

Might only be a buck 20, but I think I'll need it.

That too. Says level 4 in stats, but still have to check each time.

I have ended up in solo lobbies a few times. Hey weren’t private though. Occasionally a player would join and leave. I don’t think there is an official way to host a private lobby.

General Store, then clothing. Buy a bandana. Think the minimum cost is $20. But also I haven't found a use for it yet.

If somebody is hunting and gets a kill, can I kill and rob him and sell the goods myself?

[U Carmine 1,243]

What's the fastest way to rank/level up? Story missions/joining on-call/host or free mode stranger missions? What about doing free mode stranger missions as a posse, in a group?

Do as many "Story missions" as you can first and then go from there. I've found joining "Showdown series" is quick after "Story missions" considering you can only do them up to a point.

I've got 75% progress on story missions. I've already done six of 'em and no more appearing on map. I don't think I want to do PvP, just yet

Yeah after the 75% mark, there are no more....for now. If not then do challenges or strangers then.

Yes, but not easy to pull off in practice since picking up their pelt, or attempting to skin or carry an entire dead animal will leave you vulnerable to their reprisals after they respawn.

Then go hunting or wipe gang hideouts. Gonna check out more things to do tomorrow

I've wiped like five or six gang hideouts already, whenever I came across them. I think it's just stranger missions for now. But I'm not sure whether it's better to solo them or "join posse" from online menu. Would I get paid more to solo them, less money shared amongst players?

yes you can. 

[Blokies 4]

If you buy a persistent posse can the posse members controbute to the posse? If they can contribute, can this money be used to upgrade the posse or is the only one that can upgrade and pay for the upgrades the posse leader?
