The Holidays in Red Dead Online
WINTER WEATHER WARNING ON THE FRONTIER PLUS HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN MODES, GIFTS, DISCOUNTS AND MORE
The holiday spirit has taken hold in the five states. Red Dead Online will be ringing in the holiday season over the next few weeks – with winter weather setting in, limited-time Festive Showdown Modes, decorations at your Camp and Moonshining Shack, gifts and more to tide you over.
On your travels, you may have heard piano players in the saloons playing festive songs as folk across the country merrily indulge in holiday festivities. Be warned, however, that the changing of the seasons often brings harsh weather to the frontier, with snowfall predicted to arrive as soon as tomorrow. Those keen to make preparations for the winter should be advised that even heavier snowfall may also be on the way, so keep the campfire burning and the stewpot simmering.
Sharpshooters across the land can put their hand-eye to the test in snow-dusted versions of bloody Showdown Modes like Spoils of War, Up in Smoke, and Overrun, while PlayStation 4 players will get exclusive access to festive variations of Gun Rush, Make it Count and Last Stand. Simply fire up the Series from the Online Menu to dive in through January 6th.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, players who play Red Dead Online between December 23rd – 25th will receive a special seasonal Gift Chest, packed to the brim with provisions and other goodies – including:
- The Krampus Double Barrel Shotgun Variant
- 30 rounds of Incendiary Buckshot Ammo
