Red Dead Online update adds specialist roles

Rockstar has released a significant update for Red Dead Redemption 2’s online multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online.

The headline feature of the update is new specialist roles called Frontier Pursuits, each of which offers a unique progression path.

Players can track down wanted criminals as a bounty hunter, search the world for treasure and other exotic items as a collector, or build a business as a trader.

Rockstar says Tuesday’s update, which is available now for PS4 and Xbox One, also introduces the following features and gameplay changes:

  • New items, weapons, clothing and horse-drawn vehicles
  • Directional damage indicators to display where your character is hit from
  • Additional horse breeds
  • The ability to change your character’s appearance without resetting progress
  • Expanded custom outfit slots
  • The ability to name saved outfits
  • Role-specific Free Roam Events
  • Increased selling prices for looted Jewelry
  • Increased movement and animations speeds for more responsive combat (including aiming, cocking and reloading), faster looting and more
  • Additional game balancing and improvements

Red Dead Redemption 2 has shipped over 25 million units worldwide since its PS4 and Xbox One release in October 2018, according to publisher Take-Two.

In June, the company’s CEO Strauss Zelnick gave the clearest indication yet that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on PC.
