Jason Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Battle on horseback to secure the burning torch and ride through all your team's signal fires to score in Sport of Kings. The newest Red Dead Online Showdown Mode is a true test of horsemanship for two teams and four to eight players, with Sawed-off Shotguns for close combat and rare single-shot Dynamite Bow pickups on either side of the torch to help even the odds. This week, the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. Catalogue receives a trio of new clothing items. Protect your head, neck and shoulders from the blazing sun while looking extraordinary in the Strung Sombrero. The Gibbston Pants, featuring hand-cut leather paneling and cross-stitched sides - perfect for town or trail. And the all-black variant of the Chuparosa Poncho, handwoven south of the border and shipped to the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. warehouse. Throw it over the shoulder for a debonair look. And for the next two weeks all players who are at least Rank 10 will receive a care package featuring Bait and special Arrows like the Poison Arrow, a powerful weapon in taking down large game that is normally crafted using arrows, feathers and Oleander after the acquisition of a Poison Arrow Pamphlet. Players who are at least Rank 20 will get an additional package that includes Provisions and Big Game Meats like the Minty Big Game Meat that is normally cooked after acquiring Mint and Big Game Meat and gives you a Gold Health Core. To help you hit those Rank bonus thresholds, take advantage of a 30% XP Boost on all activities this week. Rank 10 Bonus Care Package 20x Small Game Arrows 20x Fire Arrows 20x Poison Arrows 5x Predator Bait 5x Herbivore Bait Rank 20 Bonus Care Package 3x Minty Big Game Meat 3x Oregano Big Game Meat 3x Thyme Big Game Meat 10x Baked Beans 10x Corned Beef 10x Canned Salmon 5x Jolly Jack's 5x Cocaine Gum 5x Moonshine 5x Gin 5x Guarma Rum 5x Fine Brandy https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/60991/Red-Dead-Online-Sport-of-Kings RuningKikFukSlap, Winonas, Fatsanchez and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hit Rank 20 myself last night, although I wish I could sell all that cooked meat - only ever ate cooked game once, and I had to spend hours running it all off afterwards... Can anyone confirm this, btw: I've heard that the bonus gold for ranking up (1 bar per rank) has now ended. Is that true, or is it still going?

-LN- Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Rockstar certainly has a way with words: "And for the next two weeks all players who are at least Rank 10 will receive a care package featuring...", "To help you hit those Rank bonus thresholds, take advantage of a 30% XP Boost on all activities this week." So, this means that players have two weeks to reach level 10 or 20 and that we will receive the care package(s) at of the end of the two week time frame or am I missing something here? Sorry, I just woke up not long ago. 43 minutes ago, Lonely-Martin said: Nice to see the maps rolling out, grab them up in the week. I wonder if the 3 are all the same locations, and weather they are locations used for the other maps we get from rank and looting etc? I just turned my system on to have a look. I got three different locations; I could be wrong, but I don't recall ever seeing these locations for maps that I've acquired from levelling up. Kamassa River and Bluewater Marsh were both in my satchel from levelling up, so the gifted ones from today are Hawks Eye Creek, Little Creek, and Hennigan's Stead [North]. I don't care anything at all about the Showdown mode and all of the clothing seems to be exclusively for males, but the bonuses are nice; no complaints there!
