Yup, I'm fine with that. It's a great looking shirt.

Seems like a decent update so far but it's annoying the first game I played the other 2 players left after 4 rounds.  Maybe add some incentive or deterrent to stop people just leaving?

Find better friends I guess

Call to Arms mode is available now with 5 maps.

Shame that the advertisement for the QuickDraw pass has someone wearing a black Haverhill hat but we only have one color... So far.

One of the previous passes used a palette-swap of the shirts from the Ultimate Edition, too - but that's perfectly fine, IMO, because that means we get different colour options for those items.

 

(that's the downside of Pass clothing compared to catalogue clothes: stuff in the catalogue usually comes in about 9 variations, but the Pass outfits normally come in just the one colour)

I get what they're doing there, having the specific item being advertised in proper colours while the rest of the clothes are in a muted non-obtainable black - but the downside is ...I just want the all-black versions of those clothes, R*!

 

They do it with the Role outfits, too: they'll use one of the outfits in pics for stuff like emotes, but in all-black, and it looks really good (because everything looks good in black) - but of course, we can't get those options...

Finally this topic is not negative 

It's so rare to see the community pleased with the new content.

Because this is finally something new and fresh in this game.

Yeah I understand the black outfit showcasing emotes or whatever. But the cover for the pass literally has the Haverhill hat in black with a red band.

So it seems the new survivals are currently triple money, xp and gold right now

[Need For Madness Auto]

what is the music being played for the quick draw pass?

[concolt]

What kind of company releases a new game mode and puts a cool down timer on it…

 

I don’t have much time to play and I’m limited on what I actually want to play. 

[rollschuh2282]

I REGRET NOTHING!

yes i bought it.

[Lemoyne outlaw]

i feel bad for the person who said they wanted a fort brennand survival map last week. i feel like the locations are a let down. we only have two maps set in the new map. and three maps are in the red dead redemption 1 map. its a shame. because i really dont like how they did the old map. i would rather have them add stuff to the new map. what about ambarino? you know they huge state that hardly has anything to do up there. no towns or anything. sometimes i forget that it exists. i hope they will dripfeed new maps or something.

 

other than that little rant. i do like the mode so far. it seems fun and i have been wanting a survival mode for red dead for a long time. i wish that we could have cannons and maxim guns. even if they were limited in ammo. i like having npcs to help and being able to heal them is nice. i really hope they do more with this mode.

[G The Generous]

Me and my boy had a blast with survival mode today, yesterday I told him to keep his expectation low but perhaps that's why we are having so much fun

 

[Franula]

It's really nice to see a lot of people happy with new update. I haven't played this yet but I'm looking forward to it now!

It is. I just did one. Got to wave 6 and I got 1.5 gold and about $140.

 

Thats the most fun I’ve had in RDO for a long time tbh. More of this kind of stuff please Rockstar.

[AltiMetro]

I played 4 rounds of Call to Arms in Blackwater today. 

Haven't had this much fun with new content in a while. It was a blast and a challenge once you hit Wave 8, 9, 10

I'm not the world's baddest PvP demon, but 95% of the time on Trade Route, I take 1st, 2nd or 3rd place of enemies killed. 
Took me 4 tries to even get to, and then finish, Call to Arms Wave 10. One of those tries was with 2 fellow Lvl 400+ players. We still couldn't get it done. 

I lost all 3 other players at the beginning of the 10th wave of my 4th round. Had a lot of fun finishing it. Was a challenge

So my limited first impression is : R* did a real nice job with these. 
It's encouraging to see them release content that plenty of people are happy with (judging by reddit comments, and you guys in here).

This mode is something I see myself jumping in from time to time in the future.

New and fresh? This is nothing new, we've been fighting off endless waves since Bounty Hunter.

 

What would be new and fresh would be a f*cking Heist or Mexico but no, let's keep releasing sh*t nobody asked for! 

[Caffeination]

Huh… turns out the reason Call to Arms pays so well is due to a 3X bonus, meaning that this mode will be dead as soon as the bonus is gone by next week.

 

So, not just a cool down, but the real reward is pocket change and a single gold bar, if you survive 10 rounds.

[Tez2]

The payout dropping to its original value isn't much of a problem for me. I have more of an issue with the cooldown once this event bonus ends. At that point, it wouldn't be worth the effort to wait roughly an hour to start a new Call to Arms.

[Kirsty]

For some reason I keep getting disconnected after Wave 7 (PS4) and I'm not sure if it's my Internet being dodgy, or the servers. Anyone else experiencing this? It doesn't affect the cooldown when I go back into the game so idk what is happening. Mildly infuriating to not get the rewards, but the XP during the waves is helping me rank up the pass.

 

Otherwise enjoying this mode so far quite a bit - straight up PvE is fun especially as the hordes bring in bigger artillery and/or are harder to kill as they wear bucket helmets etc. Only played Valentine and Fort Mercer so far, gonna check out the ranch and Blackwater in a bit.

[No Homing]

Since last week there's an award only on SC for completing all 10 waves, but for some reason it's still not actually in the game, and completing all 10 waves didn't made it show up either.

Is this just broken or am I missing something? Maybe I have to complete all 5 maps??? Confused.

While I agree with you overall, people have definitely been asking for survival since the games been out.

[Shrek Realista]

Pretty cool this new mode, reminds me of Undead Nightmare waves from RDR1 multiplayer.

 

Although it's been a while that I don't play RDO, is it worth to install the game again for this mode? I mean, is it working fine?

[Direwrath]

Are other players able to mess with you in Call to Arms? Or is it literally a work together to get as far as you can type of thing? Because I ain't gonna waste my time if I can get blown apart or lassoed by a team mate.

And are posse's able to play in this together?

There is basically no time to mess with players....

I would hope that they would be occupied with the task at hand, but the diligent ones will find a way to make a problem if it is possible. This sounds like so much fun though.
