Today's Red Dead Online Updates Brings New Weapons, Modes, And More
Today Rockstar revealed that a large update for the online component of Red Dead Redemption II has gone live. The Red Dead Online update brings a huge host of additions to the world.
Here the most noteworthy additions:
- A rare, brass plated shotgun is now available for purchase at gunsmiths. A more powerful repeater is also "coming soon." PS4 players get early access to a new melee weapon, the Jawbone knife.
- New clothing, including boots, coats, hats, and vests.
- New reaction emotes, as well as greets and taunts.
- New gameplay events, including daily challenges, races, fishing challenges. Competitive modes are on the way as well.
Alongside the new content, Rockstar is also making a large number of changes to current systems. Player blips are reduced over long distances on the map, addressing a big complaint that has been consistent since launch. Outlaws who cause too much of a ruckus in the world will find themselves pursued, not just by other players, but powerful NPC bounty hunters as well.
Those who log onto Red Dead Online by March 5 will receive a complimentary cache of goods that includes snake oil, tonics, revivers, arrows, and more.

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.
