Red Dead Online Adds Explosive New Showdown Mode
Up In Smoke is the latest addition to Red Dead Online's growing list of PvP modes – and it's available in the game starting today.
All players start out with an explosive package and must deliver it to the enemy team's base. Successfully delivering an explosive detonates a piece of their camp. The winning team is the side that can destroy the other team's base first.
This week's featured bonus in the online beta is a 30 percent XP boost on all ability cards. Rockstar Games says that ability cards such as To Fight Another Day, Strange Medicine, and Slippery Bastard will come in handy in Up in Smoke.
If you're looking for a new look, there are some new items in the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. Catalogue this week, including Winter Shotgun Coat, Benbow Jacket, Darned Stockings, and Manteca hat.
Rockstar games added a new racing mode to the game last week that challenges players to hit targets while riding horseback. And if you need more reason to spend time with the hit game, you can listen to an hour-long orchestration of the music of Red Dead Redemption II.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
