Red Dead Redemption 2 has been such a thoroughly brilliant and engrossing game that it really is difficult to comprehend that it debuted almost 8 years ago at this point. The story of Arthur Morgan and his role in the Van Der Linde gang really tied up the narrative from the original game nicely, and as gaming experiences go, it was just about as cinematic as it gets.
That said, the single-player can only offer so much, particularly with the conspicuous lack of DLCs, so the multiplayer really has been the first port of call for most who want to live out their cowboy dreams. Happily, Rockstar has been very diligent about maintaining it with fresh content, and there’s a raft of rewards on offer right now that you’ll want to be aware of.
Over on the official Rockstar website, you can find the breakdown of the current multiplayer event in Red Dead Redemption 2, which centers on being a naturalist and conserving the broad scope of nature in the region.
The big time-sensitive thing that you’ll want to be aware of is that this is the last week of the Featured Series calendar for this event. That means that from May 26 – June 1, Target Races and Capture Mode Series are in the spotlight, with the former paying out 4x RDO$, Gold, and XP.
Outside of that, there’s plenty more you can grab for your character before the event draws to a close on June 1. That includes the Morning Tail Coat, which is given as a reward for selling three samples. At the same time, Races are also paying out 4x RDO$, Gold, and XP, while finishing in the top three is enough to earn the Ruby Buckle, which returns from the Outlaw Pass No. 2.
There is also 3x RDO$, XP, and Role XP on Sample Sales, and completing an Animal Sighting mission is enough to earn the Chicken Emote. Lastly, you can also grab the brown Clairborn Coat for your collection by either Hunting or Sampling a Legendary Animal before the event ends on June 1.
Given that we are still six months away from the release of GTA VI, there isn’t really a viable world where we get a third game in the Red Dead Redemption series before the early 2030s, if ever. That means heading into the refreshed online experience and interacting with other cowpokes is probably out best bet in the meantime.
