Next Tuesday, February 26th, Red Dead Online will get even more entertaining when it adds the new Showdown Modes. The one we have the most information for is called Fool’s Gold Free Roam Event, where a player will be in charge of a Golden Armor. Other players are supposed to take down the golden player and if successful they will earn points, while the one who got the kill will now be the golden armor wearer.
The other Showdown Modes are: Up in Smoke, Spoils of War, and Plunder which Rockstar describes as: "players and teams compete to capture and deliver bags, steal loot from each other and survive". For the players interested in competing in the fishing challenges, all the necessary equipment will be provided, such as lures, bait, and rods. Depending on which event you choose the equipment will vary, with crickets for river challenges, crayfish for swamp challenges and, worms for lake challenges.
Also, the PS4 is getting special treatment and will receive early access to Open Target Races. Players will shoot targets while riding horses and simultaneously pass through checkpoints until they reach the finish line. The new weapons include the Evans Repeater rifle and Rare Shotgun. Rockstar also did not skip out on adding clothes, with the Diamondback Hat and the Rutledge Vest making an appearance. Among other things coming are Emotes, coats, and outfits.
Developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game’s vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.
