Red Dead 2 Online Summer Update Out Now, Adds Specialized Roles And More

Red Dead Redemption 2's big summer update is now live on PS4 and Xbox One. As Rockstar previously detailed, the update introduces a wealth of new content to the game's online component, Red Dead Online, including the first Frontier Pursuits, new items, an array of quality-of-life improvements, and more.

The biggest addition are the aforementioned Frontier Pursuits--specialized roles that come with their own unique activities, skills, and unlockable items. Players have a choice of three Frontier Pursuits. The Bounty Hunter role focuses on tracking down wanted criminals; the Trader can open up a shop and sell animal pelts and meat; and the Collector specializes in searching for valuable treasures. You can read a more detailed breakdown of each Frontier Pursuit on Rockstar's website.

As you complete your Frontier Pursuit's unique activities, you'll earn Role XP that will help you unlock new Role Ranks. That, in turn, will net you Role Tokens, special items, new skills, and even role-specific Free Roam events. Each Frontier Pursuit has a startup cost of 15 Gold Bars, but Rockstar has detailed a couple of ways to get each role's starting item for free on its website.

In addition to the Frontier Pursuits, Red Dead Online's summer update introduces a litany of new items, clothing options, horse-drawn vehicles, and horse breeds. You can now also change your character's appearance without resetting your progress, and Rockstar has added the ability to name any saved outfits.

On top of all the new content, PlayStation 4 players are getting another handful of timed-exclusive content. You can see the full list of those below. Meanwhile, all players who log into Red Dead Online between September 10 and November 18 will be automatically enrolled in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Club, which gives you access to new clothing, accessories, a special gun wrap, bonus cash, and more.

RDR2 Title Update 1.11 Patch Notes

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:

Bounty Hunter:

Become a Bounty Hunter for a life of constant action. A licensed Bounty Hunter can track down targets and capture – or kill, depending on how honorable you are in your pursuits. Occasionally, a nearby player with a high enough bounty can also be a designated target.

Trader:

The life of a Trader is perfect for burgeoning capitalists as you establish and develop a business from your Camp. Thanks to your trusty companion Cripps’ knowledge of furs, skins and butchery, you’ll be able to take on new opportunities to collect materials and produce valuable goods to sell.

Collector:

A Collector loves to explore the world for rare and valuable items. Look for a mystic travelling saleswoman in the wild to get started down the Collector’s path, searching for lost jewelry, rare arrowheads and other treasures to sell as individual pieces or highly valuable sets.

And as always have a chilled day from the viking.
