Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 9 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 New Hanover today folks!
We can start in Valentine for the challenges today. We can pick some Rams Head, head over to Owanjila then down to MacFarlane’s Ranch. Let’s get into it…
Rams Head
Cumberland Forest is a great place to look for Rams Head. There are a couple of patches of them just below the letter ‘C’ at the beginning of the word Cumberland on the map. There is another patch where the letter ‘M’ is too. Another good place to get them is north of the path that runs above the letters ‘U’ and ‘M’. Plenty of berries around to get the five needed for the challenge.
Muskie
Travel up to Strawberry. From here, ride west out to Owanjilla. Ride all the way along the shore of the lake to the very western end where the little waterfall is. This is a great spot to fish for Muskies. You will need a lure or a spinner to target these larger fish as they aren’t fond of food baits. Use Eagle Eye with your fishing rod equipped and spot one. Cast past it and then reel the lure back towards it. Hook it and reel it in.
Bonnie
Bonnie MacFarlane is one of the strangers. She can be found sitting on the porch of the main house at MacFarlane’s Ranch in Hennigan’s Stead. Travel to her, talk with her then accept and complete one of the missions she has available.
Finishing Off
Fish, small rodents and small birds all count as small animals to break down. Check your satchel and if you need carcasses, then hunt or fish for them. Use the satchel menu to break the carcasses down when you have five. Wait for an invite to a Free Roam Event. Join and get the player kills from cover then head into a Showdown to get the melee kills and the the kills from the hip. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
BONNIE MACFARLANE MISSIONS COMPLETED – Bonnie MacFarlane can be found at MacFarlane’s Ranch. Visit her and complete the mission she gives you.
MUSKIE CAUGHT – Any Northern lake should have Muskie. My go to spot is the Western tip of Owanjila just where the river enters the lake. Special spinner works for me but special Lake Lure works too. Food baits don’t do well.
3 PLAYER KILLS FROM COVER IN FREE ROAM EVENTS – Free Roam events are every 45mins and you’ll need to be in a free roam lobby when one is due to start to be invited. Join a PvP focussed event and get kills from cover
PLAYER KILLS FROM THE HIP IN SHOWDOWNS – Kill a player with a firearm without aiming down the sights. Paint it black and a shotgun make this an easy challenge if you can overcome that muscle memory!
3 PLAYER KILLS WITH MELEE IN SHOWDOWNS – I recommend defensive ability cards for this one if you have them. You will have to be in the lobby before the match starts for the kills to count. Try and get melee kills during the match
5 RAM’s HEAD PICKED – Ram’s head can be found in Cumberland forest. Check along the cliffs to the west of the forest.
5 SMALL ANIMAL CARCASSES BROKEN DOWN – Small animals such as squirrels or chipmunks can be broken down by going into you satchel, clicking over to the materials tab then highlighting the small animal. Small fish also count for this one

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.
