Plus, Round up Rogue Cultists in 3 New Hardcore Telegram Missions, New Showdown Maps, and More
Hides and furs fetch a pretty penny this month as all Trader Sales are paying out 2X RDO$ and XP. Trafficking in Perfect Carcasses, Pelts, Skins, and Hides, meanwhile, will yield 50% more Trader Raw Materials and 50% more RDO$ when sold to the Butcher.
Team up with other Traders and fight off an onslaught of bandits in Trade Route (the Trader-exclusive Free Roam Event) to earn Double Rewards, all month long.
Keep your coffers stocked and complete a Trader Sale every week this month to receive Cripps’ Military Surplus 2 Outfit, available at Wilderness Outfitters. Delivering Goods each week will also net you a bonus RDO$50. All Rewards and Offers will be delivered within 72 hours of completion.
In addition to the bonuses above, complete a Trade Route Free Roam Event this month to receive 3 Potent Herbivore Bait to use on your next hunt.
If the above interests you, aspiring Traders can take 5 Gold Bars off the cost of the Butcher’s Table, plus 40% off any of the three Trader Wagons, depending on the size and needs of your operation.
Stamp Out the 7th Generation Cult in Skelding’s Contract
Whispers of opportunists preying on weak minds are causing widespread panic across the frontier and concerned citizen Ike Skelding has issued a call to stop the spread of the emerging 7th Generation cult.

Skelding is offering payment to outlaws brave enough to take on the cult in the form of three new Hardcore Telegram Missions — In Bad Faith, Strong Medicine,and Sow and Reap — now available for collection from your Camp Lockbox or local Post Office.
This is just one of the general improvement changes included in today’s Title Management Update — along with other fixes, new features for PC players, and more — as part of our continuing efforts to enhance and maintain a healthy Red Dead Online environment.

2X RDO$, Gold, and XP on ”A Tough Business” Hardcore Telegram Missions

2X RDO$, Gold, and XP on Il Sovrano Blood Money Opportunity
There are several ways to go about reclaiming Il Sovrano before the canary-yellow diamond makes its debut at the Centennial States’ Fair in Sacramento, namely: using stealth to eavesdrop and make your move discreetly, or the Wild West Standard — that is, loud and guns a-blazing.
Whatever the case, bringing the gem back and completing its eponymous Blood Money Opportunity will result in twice the usual RDO$, Gold, and XP.
Should you happen upon a settlement under attack, taking up arms to Defend Campsites across the frontier will also award 2X RDO$, Gold and XP, all month long.
