Jason Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 PLUS HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN MODES, GIFTS, DISCOUNTS AND MORE The holiday spirit has taken hold in the five states. Red Dead Online will be ringing in the holiday season over the next few weeks - with winter weather setting in, limited-time Festive Showdown Modes, decorations at your Camp and Moonshining Shack, gifts and more to tide you over. On your travels, you may have heard piano players in the saloons playing festive songs as folk across the country merrily indulge in holiday festivities. Be warned, however, that the changing of the seasons often brings harsh weather to the frontier, with snowfall predicted to arrive as soon as tomorrow. Those keen to make preparations for the winter should be advised that even heavier snowfall may also be on the way, so keep the campfire burning and the stewpot simmering. Sharpshooters across the land can put their hand-eye to the test in snow-dusted versions of bloody Showdown Modes like Spoils of War, Up in Smoke, and Overrun, while PlayStation 4 players will get exclusive access to festive variations of Gun Rush, Make it Count and Last Stand. Simply fire up the Series from the Online Menu to dive in through January 6th. In keeping with the holiday spirit, players who play Red Dead Online between December 23rd - 25th will receive a special seasonal Gift Chest, packed to the brim with provisions and other goodies - including: The Krampus Double Barrel Shotgun Variant 30 rounds of Incendiary Buckshot Ammo 100 Shotgun Slugs 10 Thyme Big Game 10 Minty Plump Birds 20 Carrots 20 Assorted Biscuits 50 Candies 10 Fine Brandies 10 Special Miracle Tonics 20 Volatile Fire Bottles 2x Creek Plums 2x Agarita Plus, visit the Benefits section to find Offers for 50% off a Shotgun or Coat during this period. A host of seasonal offerings have already been awarded to all players who have logged in and played on or after December 13th. There's still time to claim the following gifts - simply play Red Dead Online by January 6th and check the Benefits section of the Main Menu to redeem the following coupons: 3,000 Club XP RDO$200 for starting a new Role 1x Free Trader Resupply Reward 1x Free Weapon Component of your choice Reward 1x Treasure Map Reward 1x Free Moonshiner Mash Refill Reward 30% off one Stable slot Offer Playing Red Dead Online between December 31st and January 6th will also reward you with a 1,000XP reward for each of the four Specialist Roles available in Red Dead Online: Moonshiner, Bounty Hunter, Trader and Collector. And players can continue to take 5 Gold bars off the cost of the Butcher's Table and 25% off the cost of the Medium Delivery Wagon, the Bounty Hunter variant of the Schofield Revolver and the Collector variant of the Lancaster Repeater - all the way through January 6th. And as always, keep an eye on the Benefits section for the latest Offers, Rewards and info in Red Dead Online. Collectors can get in on the holiday action between December 24th and 30th by sending the Festive Feast Collection to Madam Nazar for a princely sum. Track down a Goose Egg, Cognac and a Thyme Plump Bird to complete the collection. And between December 31st - January 6th, Nazar will be requesting receipt of the New Year Collection, containing the Ace of Wands, Scotch Whiskey and Platinum Pocket Watch. Players who connect their Social Club account with Twitch Prime will receive the Collector's Bag and the Polished Copper Still Upgrade -- both free of charge.

NChabb Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Cute stuff. Really happy that the bonus is by logging between the 23rd and the 25th, it gives more room. Meanwhile we still haven't received the free bandolier on PC... And no word on it. Edited December 19, 2019 by NChabb Winonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Looking forward to the snow but you could've at least made a Santa hat or something Rockstar. Also, that explains why random sh*t started showing up in the Collectables tab. I do like that they're using a few non-Collector items for the weekly sets.

Danish Crusader Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) It's nice of them to give us so much food seeing as we can't get any by ourselves because the f*ckING ANIMAL SPAWNS ARE BROKEN! I'm calm now, I am really looking forward to the snow though, I already got my winter outfit ready for tomorrow! I wonder if the water is going to freeze over... Don't forget to keep an eye out for Santa, he is the ONLY person to have a way to fly. If we can get our hands on that sled of his, we're golden! We can get our moonshine everywhere we want without those damned Regulators getting in our way!

ALifeOfMisery Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'm happy we're getting snow from tomorrow, I'll be up and in game for the tunable change at 6am. Don't care about the showdowns, you can wrap a turd in tinsel, it's still a turd. The care packages and gifts, I mean, what can I say, not much use to most of us day one players, but I'm sure I'll use some of what I receive, at some point.

Jason Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 The Christmas care package for a veteran player is literally just 2x Agarita and a weapon variant. Honestly my eyes roll every time I see these care packages from Rockstar, they doled loads of them out for "apologies" over the past year but they're pretty much just a slap in the face everytime. They might as well give players $50 instead, which isn't even close enough to buy one of the new items of clothing these days. The other bonuses they've already handed out like a free weapon component, free Trader/Moonshiner stuff, some cash and the stable fee coupon is much more like it but they don't hand gifts out like that all that often.

Lonely-Martin Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 More free sh*t, cool. Regardless of anything I could be negative about regarding RDRO currently, I'm very very keen to see what this looks like with the snow, and to have few more days to enjoy that compared to GTA's limited time is most welcome.

GTAFanClub Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 It's really nice that they did all of this. Feels more authentic than GTA Online's festive stuff. Winonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokushakubo Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'm happy with this. Though looks like we'll be wearing cold weather outfits for a few weeks. StuntCurry707 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4eyedcoupe Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I have no problems with snow, however I hope the keep it away from places that shouldn't really have it like parts of New Austin and the Bayou, but I guess it does rain every day in the desert according to R* so we will see in the days to come. Happy Holidays everyone! Gtaman_92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuNova Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Are the NPCs gonna change their clothes to reflect the change in weather? It's all good and well in GTA when it's snowing but people are walking along the beach in shorts and bikinis. Boozey St John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about you dude but I HARDLY ever get attacked or griefed these days--maybe once a week or so. I'd wager these will mostly be used in showdowns and pve so I'm not worried.

1898 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 "even heavier snowfall may also be on the way" Then I hope they really unload. Go ahead and make it 3 feet with almost no visibility due to the heavy downfall and cover all trails. joshua969 and Winonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
