Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 17 September
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 Austin today folks!
We can start in Armadillo for the challenges today. We can hunt Gila Monsters and pick Thyme nearby before heading up to Strawberry. Let’s get into it…
Banded Gila Monster
Starting in Armadillo, ride west out of town into the desert where the word Springs is on the map. Between here and Jorge’s Gap is a good place to hunt for gila monsters. So is next to the train tracks heading north out of the town. When you spot one, shoot and skin it to complete the challenge.
Creeping Thyme
There are a few places we can find Creeping Thyme near Armadillo. There is a patch just past the letter ‘S’ at the end of the word Springs on the map. The patch is next to the path. There is another patch right where the letter ‘R’ is in the word Springs too. You should be able to get all five plants from these two spots, but in case you need more, there is also some between the letter ‘L’ and ‘A’ at the end of the word Cholla on the map.
Visit Owanjilla
Travel up to Strawberry. Ride through town and follow the road west out of town to Owanjilla. The dam is at the east end of the lake. As you approach the north shore of the lake, turn left and take the path down the eastern shore. When you ride into the area the challenge should trigger.
Finishing Off
Take a self portrait with your camera. Posse Up and hop onto the same wagon as a Posse Member and go for a ride. Cover the distance needed then load into a Call To Arms and play at least one complete wave of enemies. Stock up on explosives then head into a Free Roam Event when invited. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
BANDED GILA MONSTER SKINNED – Banded Gila monsters can be found in the deserts of New Austin. Find one, shoot it, skin it.
5 CREEPING THYME PICKED – Creeping Thyme grows in thin soil near river banks or in sandy soil the Desert south of Tumbleweed is my go to spot.
DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY WAGON WITH A POSSE MEMBER- Start or join a posse. You and a posse member then need to use one of your wagons (delivery, hunting or bounty) and travel the distance. If you don’t have a wagon, steal one! Bizarrely, story mission teams also count as a posse
3 PLAYER KILLS WITH EXPLOSIVES IN FREE ROAM EVENTS – Free Roam Events happen every 45 mins. Make sure you are in a free roam lobby when one is due to start to be invited. Once in the event, kill players with dynamite. Dynamite arrows count too if you have them.
1 SELF PORTRAIT TAKEN – Get one of your cameras out and press the Self Portrait button. Take the picture. Easy Gold! You can use the standard camera.
VISITED OWANJILA DAM – Head to the dam at the Eastern end of Owanjila lake over near Strawberry. Easy Gold!
1 WAVES COMPLETED IN CALL TO ARMS – Go into your satchel and tab over to the Documents page. Open your Telegrams then accept a Call to Arms. Survive at least one wave of enemies.

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.
