Red Dead Online Daily Challenges

Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 8 June

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 at Manzanita Post for the challenges today. There is a good spot to get Ginseng, we can try to find someone to help and then we can go fishing. Let’s get into it…

American Ginseng

Head south from Manzanita Post to Bear Claw in the south of Tall Trees. There are the ruins of four buildings here in a square. Between the road and the north east building there is a ginseng plant. There is another between the two northern buildings. There is one just below the north west building and then another just to the west of that. The fifth one needed for the challenge is between the two southern buildings. Watch out for the bear whilst picking the plants.

Help Someone

To complete the Help Someone in Need challenge, you need to find a random encounter where you have to save someone. These include people being mugged, attacked by animals, hogtied Lawmen and the like. One easy way to complete this challenge is to head into Saint Denis and look for a beggar. Giving them some money counts as helping someone and beggars are usually quite easy to find.

NPCs Lassoed from Horseback

The easiest way that I have found to complete this challenge is to pick on lone travellers outside of the towns and cities. If you see one riding alone then lasso that person off their horse. This will most often antagonise them although the odd person will just run away. Release them then wait for them to turn red on your minimap. Now they are classed as an enemy and you can lasso them again. Find four more victims and do the same to them to complete the challenge.

Smallmouth Bass

There are Smallmouth Bass in the Lannahechee River and Flat Iron Lake. If you are fishing the river, the stretch from Shady Belle down towards Braithwaite Manor is a good place to try. If you are fishing the lake, then Clemens Point is a good spot. The water around the largest of the islands just off the west shore of the lake is good. So you can fish from the mainland or the island. Crickets are the best bait to use for Smallmouth Bass. Catch three to complete the challenge. Head into your satchel and break the fish down for meat and then take the meat to a fire to season and cook it.

Finishing Off

Ducks and rabbits are a common way of getting some game meat to season and cook. Join a Posse then play a mission and get the NPC kills from the hip. That’ll do it for today…

Good Luck out there!

Quick Guides

‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪5 AMERICAN GINSENG PICKED – American Ginseng grows in the central parts of the map. It grows as a sole plant usually at the base of trees or rocks. South of Valentine and Scarlet Meadows are great places to find these plants.

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.

1 HELPED SOMEONE IN NEED – These are the dynamic events that happen in free roam such as Rescues, Kiddnappings and escorts. Saint Denis and the surrounding area are good spots to try and find one. This is a tough one though. Total RNG.

5 NON-PLAYER ENEMIES KILLED FROM THE HIP – Kill enemy NPCs by shooting them from the hip instead of aiming down the sights using the left trigger. Hardest part of this challenge is overcoming your muscle memory!

5 NON-PLAYER ENEMIES LASSOED FROM HORSEBACK – Lasso NPCs whilst sat on your horse. I find this easiest to do during resupply missions or camp defences. Gold Health Core’s help as you get shot a lot. The Lawmen in Saint Denis count too.

1 POSSE JOINED – Check the posse menu in the player menu and look for an open posse. Join it. If you can’t find an open one, use the Posse Up option from the main menu. This will put you into a posse but that doesn’t count for the daily. Simply leave and rejoin to complete the challenge

3 SMALLMOUTH BASS CAUGHT – The cove on Flat Iron lake near the islands west of Rhodes is my go to spot. Crickets are the best bait but they will take worms.

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.
