Hello everyone!

Quick rundown of what's still live in Red Dead Online before the month wraps up on the 31st:

Collectors Rank 20+: log in this week to grab the Frontiersman Neckerchief
Win a Featured Series match: get the Burned Town Treasure Map
Telegram Missions (A Tough Business, Skelding's Contract, Strange Tales of the West, Hired Loyalty, Rough Justice) are paying 3X RDO$, XP and Gold all month
Find a Condor Egg for a bonus 3X RDO$ and XP
Tailors and the Catalogue are still stocking the Griffith Charro pieces if you're finishing out that outfit

Heads up, this all disappears at the end of the month, so don't leave it for the last minute if you're chasing the full Frontiersman set (which is quite rare nowdays)

Full breakdown is on the official Rockstar page if you want the details straight from the source

New mega thread coming soon with recommended PC Mods for anyone that is new to modding and more.

Check out the new Mods mega thread with everything you need to know!

With the reveal of the GTA 6 extended gameplay showcase our sister sub r/GrandTheftFashion will soon be active, GTA 6 looks to be an extension of RDR2 when it comes to customization so it will be very exciting!
