We Are Ninja Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 While perusing various stores, I noticed that certain items can only be purchased with gold bars. Most items have $ amounts AND gold bar amounts, but some only have gold bar amounts, and can't be purchased with cash. There also appears to be an option to unlock level-locked items with gold bars if you're the impatient type. I haven't figured out how to earn them, but I have .33 gold bars. There's a Store option in the Pause menu, and I reckon that you'll be able to buy them there, much like the Shark cards in GTA... I imagine that a lot of high-end guns and fancy horses will be purchased with gold bars considering how prohibitively expensive some of the items are...

MusicMan05 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 They're worse than Shark Cards... Shark Cards = Time Saver Pack Gold Bars = Premium Currency You can earn Gold Nuggets and every 100 Gold Nuggets will get you 1 Gold Bar. However, you get 1, maybe 2 Gold Nuggets, per Mission. Unless things change, by my estimates it'll take 10-15+ hours to earn 1 Gold Bar from playing Missions... It's 5 Gold Bars just to insure one horse, so 100+ hours of grinding to insure 1 horse!... Currently GTA: Online >>>>> Red Dead Online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hmmm nice bike Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Holy sh*t, so I spent 6 months sarcastically referring to a Shark Card successor for RDR Online as "Gold Bars," and they actually go ahead and implement just that? I guess I'm not too surprised, this is the modern day Rockstar we're talking about. tonko, Lock n' Stock, saintsrow and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublepulse Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 f*ck lol better get grinding then .. In all seriousness.. I’m not really surprised just a bit bummed out and little disappointed by this. Ive always had a strong negative impression on micro transactions as the next person but I gave Rockstar a little bit of slack because of how much content they pack into their games. Never the less I will not be buying them if I can avoid it. We Are Ninja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Queenslayer Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I predicted outrageous micro-transactions months ago. R* were on to a good thing with Shark Cards....if you were stupid enough to buy one...so they're continuing on that path. Not me though, R*, you won't get me.

So when I want to consort with a gold bar hooker, the game is going to send me to the Playstation store to buy some gold bars? Deja vu to GTA Online...
