Random spawns of robbable stagecoaches

When GTA Online first went live, there were armoured trucks that spawned randomly around the map. Players had the opportunity to stop them by any means, break open the rear armoured doors and grab the cash. That was fun.

It would be awesome to see a similar thing added to Red Dead Online. Imagine seeing an randomly spawned armoured wagon transporting money and/or gold. It would be just like the scene in 3:10 To Yuma. That would be awesome in my opinion.

Random things are nice but the problem is that with lobbies over 9 people random events are rare. They refuse to lower lobby population but I think that is intentional to keep income down for the new players so the players will feel like they have to buy gold. They found that sweet spot where random events will pop up occasionally but not enough for people to gain much from them.

At least I would have a use for the lock breaker I bought early on.  The few times I've been able use it I think I got got a couple biscuits and some burdock root. Who knows, maybe they nerfed that also.

Yeah, I'd love more and more varied encounters. Quite surprised this idea hasn't already arrived to be fair. But like said above, with lobby size issues, it would've been a shame to not be able to trigger such things too.

 

Plus folk want more bandit like stuff and this surely fits that theme for those keen.

That was my favourite activity in single player, trolling around in a Buzzard looking for armored trucks to rob.

It's like selling an electric car that unique parts continually break down so you have to return to the dealer for service.

I ran into an opportunity to use it during a mission recently: just remember where it was, it was the Beau Finley mission, you're given the option of breaking the lock or kicking in the door when you go to get him out of the room he's barricaded in.
