Red Dead Online Standalone Now Available
Red Dead Online is now available to purchase as a standalone game for new players who do not already own Red Dead Redemption 2. The standalone version of Red Dead Online is available from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Launcher, Epic Games Store and Steam for an introductory offer of $4.99 – which is 75% off the regular price – until February 15, 2021*.
The West is a lawless place – a wide expanse filled with all manners of predator and their prey. Overwhelmed by the emergence of a new order of bandits and reprobates, the law is seeking Bounty Hunters of the highest caliber to help bring in some notorious targets.
Whether you’re a Distinguished agent already known to law enforcement or a brave Novice with a penchant for adventure, the Bounty Hunting Role in Red Dead Online offers a life of action on both sides of the law.
The Prestigious Bounty Hunter License adds 10 new Ranks of progression atop the 20 from the Bounty Hunter Role Ranks with high level items and skills to acquire, new weapon variants and horses, Infamous Bounty targets on the Bounty Boards and more.
The Prestigious Bounty Hunter License can be purchased from any Bounty Board by anyone who holds a Bounty Hunter License. And should you reach Bounty Hunter Rank 30, you’ll continue to accumulate Bounty Hunter XP – which can be traded for RDO$ and Gold in the Awards Menu.
Plus, newcomers can take 5 Gold Bars off the Bounty Hunter License to get started on the Specialist Role, while all Bounty Hunters can take 40% off Bounty Hunter items up to Rank 20.
LEGENDARY BOUNTY GENE BEAU FINLEY
Prestigious Bounty Hunters should keep an eye on the Local Bounty Boards over the next few weeks for information on new Legendary Bounties, starting with dandy-turned-bastard Gene “Beau” Finley and his gang wanted for a string of robberies.
Chief among a credulous posse of mercenaries sought for orchestrating bank robberies across the south, this undesirable upstart is often seen sporting an extravagant tailored suit. Desperate to acquire infamy for all the wrong reasons, Finley must be brought to justice at the earliest possible convenience.
He and his heavily armed band are said to occupy a dilapidated colonial property in Bayou Nwa. The gang is potentially harboring captives including some particularly predatory species, so beware…
