Red Dead Online Gets New Bounty Hunter Update

Red Dead Online is getting a new update, which adds plenty of new content including the new Prestigious Bounty Hunter role, as well as a swathe of other goodies for the finest cowboys in The West.

Players obviously can’t go around and shoot people and declare themselves bounty hunters. Rather, the Prestigious Bounty Hunter License will add 10 more ranks to their Bounty Hunter’s License, and with it new items and rewards.

One of the new targets added is infamous bank robber Gene Beau Finley. Here’s what Rockstar had to say about the new Legendary Bounty:

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…

On top of that this update sees the addition of Outlaw Pass 4, which brings new items and rewards for players who own it.

Members who upgrade to the Outlaw Pass for 40 Gold Bars will receive an assortment of new rewards, including luxurious warm clothing suitable for cold weather, new satchel and skill pamphlets, advanced photography enhancements, bonus cash and 30 Gold Bars, special gifts and much more.

 This week, all players who own the Outlaw Pass No. 4 will receive RDO$400 as well as a 10 Gold Bar rebate within 72 hours of purchasing the pass.

Finally, the update will bring various other new improvements and items to Red Dead Online, such as new horses and double XP bounties. This is especially great for the influx of new players, following the availability of Red Dead Online as a standalone purchase.
