Monthly Event (October 2023) - Halloween Season Arrives w/ New Call To Arms Maps, Halloween Pass 2, Collectors Bonuses & More!

[Spider-Vice]

This month across the states of the American frontier, Halloween Season arrives! Skeletons seeming like they're moving, strange fires in the prairie, ghost trains... who knows?

As such, this month and until 6th November, find bonuses on All Hallow's Call to Arms plus new maps coming later this month, the return of Halloween Pass 2, Halloween cosmetics and bonuses for Collectors, a returning cult-recruitment Telegram Mission, the return of the Halloween Pass 2, alongside the usual Community-Inspired Outfit!

 

Much like the GTA Online posts, it is a preview so information may be subject to changes or corrections.

 

We understand that not every Event will be to everyone's liking, some will certainly be more exciting than others, but anyway...

Let's get started!

Collector, do you wish to know your darkest secrets, for the Tarot to tell you the darkness to come?

Collectors across the five states will be at their best and most productive this month, alongside the scares and celebrations of Halloween. Perhaps they will be visiting Madam Nazar to get some extra money for their efforts, perhaps they want a Tarot reading expecting a major event, perhaps they've found something crazy and fantastical that they want to keep.

This said, this seems to be Madam Nazar's favourite time of year, so she will be offering bonuses for your Collector Set Sales and some extra rewards for collecting things around the map. Collectors can also fight tooth and nail in Free Roam Events for extras and reset their awards for triple the Gold.

For the month of October, Collectors can find:

 

• 2x RDO$ and XP on Collector Set Sales
• 3x Gold on Collector Award Resets
• 3x RDO$ and XP on Collector Free Roam Events

 

• Collect four or more Collectibles in the next few weeks and you can get:
  • 3rd - 9th October: Reward for a Coins Collector Map
  • 10th - 16th: Offer for 30% off a Novice or Promising Collector Role Item
  • 17th - 23rd: Offer for 30% off a Double Bandolier
  • 24th - 30th: 3x Potent Health Cure items
  • 31st - 6th November: Orange Helsby Gloves

Halloween is here! Bonuses on Halloween modes, new maps, returning Telegram Mission and more rewards

The spooky season most outlaws know and love is here, and the Frontier isn't celebrating it any differently this year. From hordes trying to hurt innocent villagers in Call to Arms, to trying to stop a zombie invasion in Dead of Night years before the crazy events of Undead Nightmare, there is a bit of everything. And more so this year with new maps coming later this month for both of those modes.

Meanwhile, cults seem to be quite a common thing across the Heartlands... and in fact folk in the towns seem to be talking quite a bit about them again, to the point that they might need someone experienced to investigate it in the returning False Hopes & Prophecy Telegram Mission.

Throughout the month, outlaws will also be able to eat all the candy they wish (trick or treat!), purchase special clothing and win extra rewards alongside enjoying bonuses for the modes above. So until 6th November:

 

• 2x RDO$, Gold and XP on All Hallow's Call to Arms
  • Three new maps will release on 17th October
  • Survive the final wave of any Call to Arms map this month to receive an Offer for 30% off select (unspecified) Horses
• 3x RDO$, Gold and XP on the Featured Series
• Login to receive the Black and Red Cavalier Hat and the Red Hunter Jacket

 

• The Hopeman Vest and Fernwater Coat will be available to purchase from your local Tailor or the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. catalogue
• The Halloween-themed False Hopes & Prophecy Telegram mission returns
• Three new Dead of Night maps arrive on 17th October
• Free Candy and Chocolate Bars for everyone!

This Month's Community-Inspired Outfit

 

Every month in Red Dead Online, Rockstar selects an outfit inspired by a content creator's creation, and this month, BoganBav on Youtube is in the spotlight. Their most popular videos all involve collections of 10 themed outfits for Red Dead Online that you can use or get inspired by, all in videos with multiple tens or hundreds of thousands of views. Outfits inspired by superheroes of other universes, Halloween outfits, those inspired by other classic outlaws such as Red Harlow, and more you can check out on their channel.

For this month, Rockstar got themselves inspired by their creations, and as such you can find what they've come up with by using the items below:

 

• Red Masquerade Mask (Halloween mask you can get from Madam Nazar)
• Shotgun Coat
• Everyday Shirt (M) | Iniesta Shirtwaist (F)
• Paisley Vest
• Puff Tie
• Leather Gloves
• Tuxedo Pants (M) | McCrum Pants (F)
• Dress Shoes (M) | Sportsman Boots (F)

 

A specialised image of this month's Community Inspired Outfit will be available from R* themselves.

30% off poison themed recipe pamphlets.  Lovely!

[Average Joe]

Thank you!

And a small bug report: Currently the pinned red link on the top, what should lead to here, is leading to last month's Bounty Hunter post. So many won't end here who would like to.

Ain't happening.

Time to slaughter demon scum across the frontier. I love that Halloween themed Call To Arms game mode so more maps are definitely welcomed

Didn't check yet. They likely enable it at the usual time (for you in Russia late morning I think).

But they started to get really lazy with the in-game news updates. So we have the multiplier and all the new weekly switches in time, yet we usually don't get the news about them in the game, just seeing last week's news for a while.

They do this for quite a while, they usually pop up next day, but I think I saw 2-3 days delays too. Recently the earliest used to be the actual night (EU time here).

Saw couple of posts, they launched it late this time.

Time for a reckoning.

Well I paid the 20g for the HP2. I didn't see anything unusual at all and I rode around quite a bit doing daily challenges. Has anyone seen anything cool yet?

[Beatrice]

There's one thing I don't really understand. Why HP2 specifically? Last year, in October 2022, it was HP2 too. Why don't they return HP1 or any other OP while we're at it?

 Land of MISSED Opportunities. I miss HP1. It offered the gothic decor for the moonshine shack that I liked very much.
