Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 18 July
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. Sean is nearby and we can also complete all the other challenges without travelling too far away from town. Let’s get into it…
Wind Mint
Start in Blackwater. There are several spots around the town and in Great Plains that we can check for mint. There is some at the mouth of the Upper Montana River. Follow the shoreline of the lake north out of town and you should see three patches between the north of town, and the little cluster of islands in the river. There’s more patches of mint to the south of town too, in the grass between the lake and the track that heads south of town. There are a couple of patches near just below the letter ‘H’ at the end of the word Elizabeth too. Plenty of chances to find the five plants needed for the challenge.
Snakes
The grass north of Blackwater is a good place to look for snakes. Check between town and the river. You can find them on the other side of the river too, between the river and Riggs Station. We need to shoot and skin two to complete the challenge.
Sean Macguire
Sean is one of the strangers. He has a shack in Tall Trees and a camp in the west of Great Plains. Check your map for his orange marker and then travel to his location. Talk with him, accept and complete one of the missions he has available.
Finishing Off
You can use the wardrobe in the Tailor’s shop in Blackwater to change your belt buckle. Posse Up and travel the distance with a Posse Member then get the long range kills. Revenue Agents are my preferred target for that one. Lastly, grab your rifle and head into a Showdown to get the player kills with the rifle. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
1 BELT BUCKLE UPDATED – Head to a wardrobe and change your belt buckle. Wardrobes can be found at Tailors, in the back of General Stores and your Tent at camp. I’ve heard you can swap outfits on your horse if you have different buckles on them but never works for me.
DISTANCE TRAVELED ON A MOUNT WITH A POSSE MEMBER – Form or join a posse and both get on the same horse and ride the required distance.
5 NON-PLAYER ENEMIES KILLED AT LONG RANGE – Revenue Agents, Trader Resupply NPCs and Del Lobos are good for this. Pick a spot at range and pick them off. A scoped rifle will help. You can tell if they count as distance kills as an XP award notification pops up.
3 PLAYER KILLS WITH A RIFLE IN SHOWDOWNS- Make sure you have your rifle equipped before you join a Showdown match and then use it to kill 3 players. You will have to be in the lobby before the match starts for the kills to count
1 SEAN MACQUIRE MISSIONS COMPLETED – Sean Macquire can be found near Quaker’s Cove in the Great Plains or in Tall Trees. Ride to him, accept and complete the mission he gives you.
2 SNAKES SKINNED – Find 2 snakes, kill em and skin em. The pools of water in Lemoyne are a good place to get snakes.
5 WILD MINT PICKED – Wild Mint is common in Marshes and along the banks of streams and rivers. My go to spot is the ‘V’ of Valentine on the map and a bit further up the bank of the river

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.
