Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 17 August
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 van Horn for the challenges today. We can get the rats, then head to The Fence before going to New Austin. Let’s get into it…
Rats
Travel over to Van Horn then riding west to Elysian Pool. Head to the waterfall on the northern shore of the pool then go through it into the hidden cave. Get out your lantern and pistol and pick off some of the rats in the cave. Collect three to complete the challenge, then grab two more. Go into your satchel menu and break down the carcasses.
Items Sold to Fence
There is a Fence at Emerald Ranch. Things like jewellery and gold teeth can be sold to him. Loot enemies to find items that can be sold. I find Revenue Agents at roadblocks tend to have lots of loot that can be Fenced. There is also a lockbox in the back of one of the wagons that has some good loot. Stock up on items, then ride down to the ranch and sell the items.
Red Sage
Travel to Armadillo in New Austin. Ride south out of Armadillo. Cross the railway tracks twice and follow the road round towards Mercer Station. As you come round the bend you will see a broken wagon on your right hand side. Opposite that there are some Red Sage plants. Pick those then head a little further along the path to the big rock on the corner. Behind that rock there is some more Red Sage. You should be able to get all five plants needed for the challenge from these two spots.
Finishing Off
Wait for an invite to a Free Roam Event. Join and get the kills from cover. Load into a Featured Series match and other showdowns and play until you have got the ten kills. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
FINISH A MODE IN FEATURED SERIES – Load into the Featured Series Showdown mode from either the main menu or the quickjoin menu. You will have to play a match from the pre game lobby for this to count
ITEMS SOLD TO A FENCE – Jewellery can be looted from NPCs and and several buildings in free roam. Find 3 items and sell them to a fence.
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
10 PLAYER KILLS IN SHOWDOWNS – Join a showdown series and kill 10 players during matches. Kills with any weapon will count as long as you were in the lobby before the match started. Takedown and Shootout series tend to register the kills most reliably
3 RATS COLLECTED – The cave behind the waterfall at Elysian Pool is my go to place for rats. It’s up near Annesburg.
5 RED SAGE PICKED – Red sage can be found in New Austin. North of Fort Mercer is a good spot or try by the side of the main road south out of Armadillo
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.
