Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 12 May
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 pick Oleander Sage, then head up to Elysian Pool to get rats before looking for trains and ambushes.. Let’s get into it…
Oleander Sage
Start off in Lagras. Head to the East Bank of the Kamassa River. Once you are on the east bank of the Kamassa River head to where the railway bridge crosses the river. At the foot of the bridge there are lots of Oleander Sage plants. There are more than enough to get the five needed to complete the challenge.
Rats
Travel over to Van Horn then riding west to Elysian Pool. Head to the waterfall on the northern shore of the pool then go through it into the hidden cave. Get out your lantern and pistol and pick off some of the rats in the cave. Collect three to complete the challenge.
Ambushes
The horseshoe in the Dakota River is good for ambushes. There are four spots where you can be ambushed if you ride the loop from Bard’s Crossing round past Caliban’s Seat then cross the river before getting to Little Creek River and head back over to Bard’s Crossing again..
Finishing Off
Find a train and travel the distance. The tram in Saint Denis counts for this challenge, but it is very slow. The Train often arrives at the station at MacFarlane’s Ranch as I’m approaching, so you could try that. Play a mission and get kills from cover. Wait for an invite to a Free Roam Event. Try and snap a photo of another player at the start of the event then get the thrown weapon kills. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY TRAIN – Find a train, hop on and go for a ride. No need to drive for this one so the trolly in Saint Dennis counts, although it’s a slow way to do it. Macfarlanes Ranch is usually a reliable spawn point for a train
5 NON-PLAYER ENEMIES KILLED FROM COVER – Story missions, bounty missions, resupply missions, sell missions. Find cover, kill enemies. Also try Thieves Landing to do it in free roam.
5 OLEANDER SAGE PICKED – Oleander Sage grows on the river banks of Bayou NWA in Lemoyne. Try the banks of the Kamassa river if your struggling
1 OTHER PLAYERS PHOTOGRAPHED – Get your camera out and take a snap of another player. If you see someone approach you with a camera, be sure to strike a pose!
3 PLAYER KILLS WITH THROWN WEAPONS IN FREE ROAM EVENTS – Free Roam events happen every 45mins and you need to be in a free roam lobby when one is due to start to be invited. Join one of the PvP events and get kills with thrown weapons. Railroad Baron and Dynamite are a good combo
3 RATS COLLECTED – The cave behind the waterfall at Elysian Pool is my go to place for rats. It’s up near Annesburg.
1 SUCCESSFULLY FENDED OFF AN AMBUSH – Ambushes happen randomly at certain points around the map. Ride past a spot and hope it triggers. Check out the excellent work of u/thirdlegacy https://www.reddit.com/r/RedDeadOnline/comments/cr753b/red_dead_online_event_map_ver2/

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.
