Red Dead Online, the multiplayer component to
Red Dead Redemption 2, is set to receive the massive
Frontier Pursuits update next week. Ahead of its launch, Rockstar has released a new trailer highlighting its biggest feature: the addition of
three new Specialist Roles.
As previously detailed, the
Frontier Pursuits update will introduce the Bounty Hunter, Trader, and Collector. These Roles each come with their own
"unique paths and activities to help you forge new directions in the western frontier," while offering unique benefits and skills as you rank up.
As the Bounty Hunter, you'll hunt down the most dangerous criminals and bring them to justice. As you rank up in this Role, you'll unlock exclusive rewards and abilities, like "Focus," which makes targes glow red in Eagle Eye. Or you can unlock "Dual Gun Spinning," which allows you to perform gun spinning tricks with two pistols or revolvers. Each of the three Specialist Roles come with their own unique abilities that will enhance the overall gameplay experience.
In addition to the Roles, the
Frontier Pursuits update will also feature "dramatic improvements" to player control, specifically quicker and more responsive movement across all phases of combat. You'll also be able to redesign your character without resetting progress. New Ability Cards, Daily Challenges, Daily Role Challenges, and Dynamic Events will also be included.
The world of Red Dead Online evolves with Frontier Pursuits - featuring three new Specialist Roles - each with their own unique paths and activities to help you forge new directions and carve out a life for yourself on the frontier.
Red Dead Online: Frontier Pursuits will launch on September 10.
