Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 16 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 New Austin today folks!
We can start in Armadillo for the challenges today. We can hunt Armadillos, then head north to find some ambush spots, game meat and a boat. Let’s get into it…
Armadillo
Start in Armadillo. The desert around the town is a good place to hunt Armadillo. They are nocturnal so you will want to wait until nightfall before heading out to hunt for them. Check to the west of the train station or to the north of letters ‘A’ and ‘R’ at the start of the word Armadillo on the map. You should be able to spot, shoot and skin one without too much trouble.
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.
Boat
The northern shore of Flat Iron Lake is a good place to find a boat. There is often a local travelling along the shore line, especially in the daytime. Find him, take the boat and then row it the distance needed to complete the challenge.
Finishing Off
Pick and eat five herbs. I’ve found you have to eat them from your satchel, not right from the ground or it glitches and doesn’t count. Hunt rabbits or ducks if you need game meat, then head to a fire to season and cook the meat.Stock up on Explosives and wait for a Free Roam Event invite. Join and use the explosives from cover to get three kills. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
3 COOKED SEASONED GAME – Game is easiest found from Rabbits. They are everywhere, find, kill and skin a couple then head over to a campfire, season up that game and cook it.
DISTANCE ROWED A BOAT OR CANOE – Find a Rowboat or a Canoe and travel the required distance. The area between the East bank of Flat Iron Lake and the islands is a reliable place to find a boat.
5 HERBS EATEN – Either eat herbs you find in the world or if you have them already in your satchel you can eat them from there.
1 NINE-BANDED ARMADILLOS SKINNED – Armadillos can be found in New Austin. They are more common between dusk and dawn. Search the deserts and you will find one.
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
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 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

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.
