Red Dead Online: How to earn money and gold

    Come to his last 1.10 update, Red Dead Online exits the Beta phase to open their borders to all lone travelers and those who explore the wild west accompanied by a full-bodied posse of gunslingers. However, there is a factor that unites all the players who try their hand at this latest Rockstar Games project: the extreme complexity of earning money and gold that leaves users in the throes of economic poverty to face with different activities and with a pinch of cunning.



    But how can you earn a large sum of money and gold without having to brutally farm and grind mercilessly? Here are some almost quick and painless solutions that will allow the gunslingers of the multiplayer world of Red Dead Online to become more affluent and to squander their wealth on the expensive items, clothing and armaments offered by the multiplayer experience.

    Complete all Red Dead Online main missions available so far: The main quests that can be completed cooperatively with friends and strangers, if faced for the first time, will give players the opportunity to earn large sums of money. However, once completed, they will no longer be as profitable and therefore will not allow players to abuse this system in order to fill their wallets. We therefore advise you to do them all and set them aside later after the first completion because, if repeated several times, they will only be able to earn from 10 to 20 dollars, sums similar to those of the unknown missions.

    Complete strangers' missions and repeat them when available: in Red Dead Online the assignments of strangers generally yield from 5 to 15/20 dollars only for those longer and more complex tasks to complete. With the latest update, new types of missions and new unknowns have been added that allow you to differentiate the gaming experience without however a real exaggerated gain, remaining balanced and therefore similar to the tasks present in the Beta version of the title.

    Engage in public matchmaking of Accounts and other modes: matchmaking and public matches, unlike free roam, are faster and allow users to earn the same amounts of money as strangers' assignments in less time, thus earning 10 to 20 dollars (rarely even more) if you rank high in the rankings. However, we advise you not to try your hand at horse races because, also due to the very short duration of each, they do not allow players to earn more than 5/10 dollars per race.

    Engage in substantial hunting trips: hunting is one of the best ways to replenish your wallet in Red Dead Online, allowing users to earn large sums of money if they hunt for the right wild animals. We recommend hunting deer and smaller animals as the skins obtained from the latter can be accumulated over the horse's back without taking up excessive space and allowing the entire carcass of any deer or bighorn to be tied over them. Unlike the larger beasts, which do not allow an accumulation of skins on the horse, hunting deer, bighorn sheep and hares also allows you to collect huge quantities of meat which, added to the skins, can yield from 20 to $ 40 depending on the quality of the fur.

    In this regard, we advise you to arm yourself with a bow or a rifle (Bolt Action, Carcano etc ...) which will allow you to clean and targeted kills, leaving the skins in an almost perfect state and therefore, consequently, increasing the value from the butcher.


    Go fishing for salmon and rainbow trout: contrary to what one might think, hunting for medium-sized fish is always the best solution to earn a lot of money, especially fishing for red salmon and rainbow trout, respectively in the steeper rivers and in the expanses of water more placid. The fish just mentioned have the particularity of being able to be put in a "pocket" and therefore being able to be transported in large quantities, up to a maximum of 10 per type. Let's take an example: a salmon, exactly like trout, is worth $ 2.50 and therefore if added up to the maximum transport limit, that is 10, you can reach a total of $ 25 per type, thus bringing the profit to $ 50; it is also very important to underline the "pockets" factor, since these types of fish should not be placed on the horse and therefore cannot be lost in the event of a sudden game crash or disconnection, thus allowing you to keep a small constant "reserve" of money, just like it also happens for small animals that we can hunt on land.

    Loot of enemies and treasure maps: an effective method to obtain Red Dead Online treasure maps can be that of looting enemy bodies, which from time to time may contain treasure maps that allow players to earn from 80 to 150/180 dollars for each single map . These, however, are rare to find through the looting system but easier to obtain through level advancements, thus allowing a guaranteed supply every 5/10 degrees depending on the more or less high level of the player.


    Playing Poker: Poker, introduced with the latest update, allows a more or less substantial gain depending on the progress of the game and its fate. Therefore, if you have a certain skill in the card game, we strongly recommend that you try your luck this alternative, not always quick, to get a few more coins. Each mandatory bet for public games is $ 25 and therefore with a full table of 6 players you have the opportunity, with a little patience and dexterity, to take home more than $ 100.

    Rescue strangers in distress across the border: with the latest update in Red Dead Online, the possibility of rescuing strangers on the street has been introduced, those with a horse fallen to the ground who will ask you for a ride to the nearest town or who, surprised in the middle of the night, will be surrounded from bandits or dangerous alligators. However, these solutions are random, scattered around the game world and visible on the mini map only within a certain distance and allow players to earn a few handfuls of money and meager gold ranging from 3 to 10 dollars with the addition of a few pinches of gold, never resulting in a real opportunity for substantial income.

    A small detour should be taken regarding the earning gold, increased and facilitated with the latest update which introduces the daily and weekly challenges. The daily challenges allow you to earn, if you complete all seven (variable from day to day), some gold nuggets that will allow you to replenish your arsenal and equipment, allowing you to also buy those mounts and those objects that were previously prohibitive due to of the very high price in gold. The weekly challenges also add the possibility to increase the amount of gold earned by each resource, implementing a gold multiplication system depending on the commitment placed for each weekly challenge, which can only be completed by completing the daily challenges with extreme constancy, thus raising the gold multiplier from 1,5 up to a maximum of 2,5, with the exquisite addition of a map of the treasure upon total completion of the challenges.
