Red Dead Online's Festive Event Kicks Off with Double Rewards

Rockstar Games announced on December 6 that the festive event "Festive Armed Call" has officially launched in Red Dead Online. Players can earn triple rewards for both the naturalist and mission challenges, along with exclusive holiday outfits for the community. Here’s what you need to know about the event:

Double RDO Rewards and Unique Challenges

During the festive season, players can expect to earn double RDO dollars, experience points, and gold. While the season calls for a ceasefire, outlaws are unlikely to comply. Your mission is to protect beautifully decorated settlements and outposts across the West, from Adler Ranch to Rhodes, while fending off the rogues and scoundrels involved in the "Festive Armed Call." Completing these tasks will reward you with double RDO dollars, experience points, and gold until January 6.

Special Treasure Maps and Outfits

Joining the long-term armed team in the "Festive Armed Call" will grant you a treasure map for the St. Louis Riverbank. Additionally, reaching wave 5 of the event will earn you a red winter shotgun coat. Players can also dive into naturalist sample selling missions, which now offer triple RDO dollars, experience points, and character role experience. Collect wildlife samples or take photographs from a safe distance to assist Harriet Davenport's research, and complete these missions by January 6 to earn a free skill card.

Exciting Limited-Time Apparel

Don't miss your chance to purchase specific limited-time clothing items. All Wheeler and Rawson catalogs and local tailors are featuring:

• Carlhorn Boots


• McBay Coat


• Shatt Shoes

Competitive Series Races with Double Rewards

In selected series races, notorious outlaws will be put to rest as you defend your territory. The series begins with two weeks of intense modes, followed by a festive-themed series. Players can earn double RDO dollars and experience points during these events:

• December 3-9: Ultimate Gunfight Series


• December 10-16: Ultimate Team Showdown

This month, hunting legendary animals will reward players with white chaps. Additionally, logging in between December 10 and January 6 will net you a winter variation of the Evans Repeater.

Daily Challenges and Special Offers

Engaging in daily challenges will also yield rewards. For instance, completing three daily challenges between December 10-16 will provide a half-price stable slot. Furthermore, winning in selected series races from December 17-23 will reward you with a red feathered high-top hat.
