Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 10 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 West Elizabeth today folks!
We can start in Blackwater for the challenges today. We can fish for the sturgeon and then head up towards Valentine. Let’s get into it…
Lake Sturgeon
Start in Blackwater. Ride south out of town on the road closest to the lake. You will pass two houses on your left. The second house has a white fence that bends away from the road and down towards the lake. Follow that fence and you’ll find a little bay. This is a great place to fish for lake sturgeon. Worms on the bobber or a special lake lure are both good tactics to catch this large fish. Equip your fishing rod, then use eagle eye to pick one of the fish out and cast towards it. You should hook one in no time, then you just have to reel it in.
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.
Yarrow
Travel to Valentine. Head east from the fast travel post and cross the railway. There is a patch of Yarrow in the grass. If you then turn south and pretty much follow the railway you will find another patch just over where the path forks. You should be able to get all five plants from these two spots but if not, there is another patch just to the west of the letter ‘C’ at the start of the word Citadel on the map.
Blackberries
There are Blackberry Bushes in the grassy area to the west of Valentine. Look on the map where the word Valentine is. If you follow the track out west past the stables there are some bushes on your left as you get level with the letter ‘N’ in the middle of Valentine. There are some more to the south of the same letter. If you haven’t managed to pick all five handfuls of blackberries then head towards Lucky’s Cabin. There are bushes to the east of the cabin, and also where the track to the cabin meets the road. You should be able to get all five from these spots.
Finishing Off
Head to the campfire near the butcher in Valentine and cook up some provisions. Travel to Wapiti then ride down to Cotorra Springs. Lastly, stock up on throwing weapons and join a showdown. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
5 BLACKBERRIES PICKED – West and South West of Valentine is my go to spot for Blackberries. There are 2 bushes near the lone building under the word ‘Valentine’ on the map. One under and one above the N and one above the T.
1 LAKE STURGEON CAUGHT – Hands down the best place to catch these is Flat Iron Lake, particularly the bit South East of blackwater. Worms work well. So do lake lures and the special spinner.
3 PLAYER KILLS WITH THROWING WEAPONS IN SHOWDOWNS – Shootout or Takeover Series seem to work best. You have to be in a Lobby before the game starts for kills to count towards the challenge. Remember, Dynamite counts as a throwing weapon.
5 PROVISIONS COOKED AT CAMPFIRE – Find a fire, cook anything from the “provisions” tab on the craft/cook menu. This one is easy gold!
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 red_dead_online_event_map_ver2
VISITED COTORRA SPRINGS – Simply visit Cotorra Springs. It’s to the North of Cumberland Forest. Easy Gold, well worth the trip!
5 YARROW PICKED – My go to spot is just south of Valentine around Caliban’s seat. There are several groups around here.

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.
