JustHatched 12,123 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 RED DEAD ONLINE BETA UPDATE ARRIVES NEXT WEEKALL NEW WORLD ENHANCEMENTS, MODES AND MORE FROM FEBRUARY 26 Next week the Red Dead Online Beta frontier expands with all new Free Roam Events, a host of new Showdown Modes, and new Races coming as part of its first title update on Tuesday, February 26. This update also brings the first batch of new Weapons, Clothing, and Emotes for your character, as well as a series of improvements and balances detailed last week. Also starting on Tuesday, February 26 look out for new content and special promotions weekly. New Gameplay New additions will include the Fool’s Gold Free Roam Event, where players will compete to control an equal parts gaudy and protective suit of Golden Armor. Fight to take down the armor wearer to earn points and claim it as your own, then turn the tables and earn points for kills while wearing the armor. Compet*tive Challenges gets a fresh catch with Fishing Challenges. Fishing Challenges are broken out by type, opt in to the challenge and you’ll receive all the equipment necessary to compete including the rod as well lures and bait specific to the challenge type, whether it’s crickets for a river challenge, crayfish for the swamp or worms for lakes. Then head to an appropriate body of water to take part – also, you’ll be made safe from the nuisance of trigger-happy outlaws while you are taking the challenge. Catch the highest weight total of fish to win. Also on the way are three new Showdown Modes where players and teams compete to capture and deliver bags, steal loot from each other and survive. Stay tuned for more details around Up in Smoke, Spoils of War and Plunder. Races will also see a new variation with Target Races where players shoot targets from horseback to pass checkpoints as they race along a track to the finish line. New Weapons B.D. and Co. is turning out the high grade, high capacity Evans Repeater rifle. The Rare Shotgun is D.D. Packenbush’s latest variation of the powerful double-barreled longarm. Sporting an antique style faded brass finish and an artfully adorned stock. Both weapons will be available via the Wheeler & Rawson Catalogue and local Gunsmiths. New Clothing and Emotes A wide range of new clothing to further customize your character – from the snake adorned Diamondback Hat to the fur trimmed Rutledge Vest – is also on the way with new Outfits, Jackets, Boots, Coats, Gloves, Hats, Vests and more. In addition to all the clothing that will be available for purchase at your leisure, keep an eye on the shops and the Catalogue for unique special items that will come and go. A variety of new Emotes is also on the way – featuring everything from greets to reactions and taunts. PS4 Early Access Content In addition to new Target Races, PlayStation 4 players will have early access to Open Target Raceswhere you compete in an open space to take out the most targets on horseback. PS4 players will also get early access to the Jawbone Knife, a unique melee weapon with a handle artfully carved from the remains of a slain animal’s jaw, as well as a range of new clothing options and 3 new Emotes.

Banketelli 3,655 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 New modes sound fun. The fishing challenges should also be a fun addition for those who are into that. Looks to be some trapper style clothing we are getting, though I wouldn't put my money on trappers being added. Will the Lancaster be the new top dog with the Varmint Rifle being nerfed or do you think the Evans Repeater will come in and take the spot? It was in the first game but I really can't remember how good it was. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/195-red-dead-online-beta-update-arrives-next-weekall-new-world-enhancements-modes-and-more-from-february-26/#findComment-595 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishing things sounds cool, I'm not a die hard fisherman in RDR but it might be better with a goal in mind.
