Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 19 August
Here are today’s Red Dead Online daily challenges and role challenges, along with quick guides for the individual challenges and a general guide to help you get today’s challenges done quickly.
Daily Walkthrough
Starting in Lemoyne today folks!
We can start in Lagras for the challenges today. We can get the frogs, drive a train and visit Gus. Let’s get into it…
Toads
The mud flats in Bluewater Marsh are a great place to hunt for toads. Head north of the city, following the railway tracks. There are toads around the area where the railway forks over the water. Copperhead Landing, to the north east of here, is another great spot to hunt for toads. Collect two to complete the challenge.
NPCs Lassoed from Horseback
The easiest way that I have found to complete this challenge is to pick on lone travellers outside of the towns and cities. If you see one riding alone then lasso that person off their horse. This will most often antagonise them although the odd person will just run away. Release them then wait for them to turn red on your minimap. Now they are classed as an enemy and you can lasso them again. Find four more victims and do the same to them to complete the challenge.
Distance on a Train
There is a train track in Bayou Nwa and Bluewater Marsh so whilst looking for the toads, try and keep an ear out for it. If it’s passing by, then hijack it and drive it. If you don’t see one then Fast Travel to MacFarlane’s Ranch and a train will very likely spawn in as you get there. Hop on the train and ride it all the way round to Mercer Station. By the time you get here, the distance should be covered off and the challenge completed.
Finishing Off
Travel to Gus and sell him some items. He has a fire you can use to craft a tonic too. Posse Up and have the leader start a Posse Infighting Match from the Posse Versus Menu. Lastly, load into a Showdown stocked up on explosives and get the kills with the explosives. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
CRAFTED A TONIC – Tonics can be crafted at camp fires. Potent health care needs 1x Ginseng and 1xYarrow. Potent Snake oil only needs 1x Indian Tobacco. Collect what you need, head to a fire and craft the tonic
DISTANCE DRIVEN A TRAIN – Find a train, drive it. If you can get a train this is an easy one. The Trolly in Saint Denis won’t work for this one as you can’t drive it. Macfarlane’s Ranch is a good spot to find a train.
5 ITEMS SOLD TO GUS – Go to Gus at one of his camps across the map and sell him any items. Pelts, feathers and other animal parts all count towards this. Harriet is gonna be mad at you!
5 NON-PLAYER ENEMIES LASSOED FROM HORSEBACK – Lasso NPCs whilst sat on your horse. I find this easiest to do during resupply missions or camp defences. Gold Health Core’s help as you get shot a lot. The Lawmen in Saint Denis count too.
3 PLAYER KILLS WITH EXPLOSIVES IN SHOWDOWNS – Load into a Showdown and kill players with dynamite. It will only count if you are in the lobby before the match starts. Takeover and Shootout series seem to be most reliable.
POSSE INFIGHTING COMPLETED – Join a posse and have the posse leader start posse infighting via the Posse Versus Menu
2 WESTERN TOADS COLLECTED – Western toads can be found on the banks of lakes, rivers and in the wetlands of Lemoyne. Bluewater Marsh is a great spot for them

What are Daily Challenges in Red Dead Online?
Red Dead Online Daily Challenges are a set of tasks that change every day at 6am UTC. Challenges include things like killing three players with a rifle in showdowns or skinning an alligator. There are 7 general challenges and up to 3 Role specific challenges per Role. The payout for completing these challenges is 0.1 gold per challenge. There is also a bonus of 0.3 gold for completing all of the general challenges and 0.3 for completing 9 of the role challenges. The role challenges are capped at 9, even though there are potentially 15 available challenges. The best thing about daily challenges is you can earn a multiplier by completing at least one challenge a day. Building a streak will reward you with up to a 2.5x multiplier. So for completing all challenges you can earn a staggering 5.5 gold a day!.
- 0-7 Days (no multiplier): 0.1 gold per challenge, 2.2 bars max
- 8-14 Days (x1.5 multiplier: 0.15 gold per challenge, 3.3 gold max
- 15-21 Days (x2.0 multiplier): 0.20 gold per challenge, 4.4 gold max
- 22-28 Days (x2.5 multiplier) 0.25 gold per challenge, 5.5 gold max
As you can see, this is an excellent way to earn gold, especially if you can dedicate a month to play every day. If you were to max out all 7 regular challenges every day for a month you would have 49 gold bars form just challenges alone. That’s enough to buy all three Frontier Pursuits Roles. Or put another way, almost $20 of real world money.
