Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 15 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 Austin today folks!
We can start in Tumbleweed for the challenges today. We can pick desert sage, hunt iguanas and then get on a train. Let’s get into it…
Desert Sage
Starting in Tumbleweed, head down south out of town and down the hill into the desert. Just to the east of the letter ‘E’ in the word New on the map there are two patches of Desert Sage. Hopefully you can get all five plants from here. If you need some more, follow the road west and then as the road bends round towards Gaptooth Breach you’ll find some more desert sage on the left of the road.
Iguanas
Head south through Gaptooth Ridge towards Scratching Post. The San Luis River has a small island just above where the word San is. There are iguanas on the river bank and on the island here. There’s also one in the channel of water between the two sometimes. If you are quiet on your approach, and a quick shot you should be able to get both iguanas here.
Treasure
It is possible to occasionally, and I mean very very occasionally, find treasure maps dotted around the map. They are usually stuck on the side of a tree with a dagger. Personally, I’d just check your lockbox or satchel for a map as they are handed out for levelling up five levels, completing 28 daily challenge streaks and you can loot them from gang leaders at hideouts. Open one of the treasure maps and then find the treasure.
Finishing Off
Head up to MacFarlanes Ranch. There is a good chance the train will arrive as you do. Hop on the back of the train and when it starts moving, shoot some flying birds. Head to a campfire to cook some game meat then head into a Showdown with your bow to get the player headshots. 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.
5 DESERT SAGE PICKED – Desert Sage grows in New Austin. If you head South out of Tumbleweed, there is a spot at the crossroads where you can get all 5. It’s just to the left of the ‘E’ in New Austin on the map.
5 FLYING BIRDS KILLED WHILE ON A MOVING TRAIN – Hop on the back of a train and look to the skies. Lemoyne and the Heartlands are good places for birds so try find a train around there.
1 FOLLOW DOG TO SOMETHING INTERESTING – There are dogs that bark at you and appear as a white dot on the map. You Follow one to a lockbox/body/ambush. Use https://jeanropke.github.io/RDOMap/ and filter to find the spawn points
2 IGUANAS SKINNED – Iguanas can be found in the deserts of New Austin. My go to spot is the little island in the river near Scratching Post, south of Tumbleweed. There are three that regularly spawn there. The islands on Flat Iron lake west of Rhodes also have Green Iguanas
PLAYER HEADSHOT WITH A BOW IN SHOWDOWN – Equip your Bow and join a Showdown series. Shootouts or Takeovers seem to work best. Make sure your in the lobby before the game starts for the challenge to register. It may take a few tries to get this one to work.
1 TREASURE MAPS OR TREASURES FOUND – Treasure Maps can be found at variouse locations around the map, usually pinned to a tree. Find a map or if you already have one, use it and follow it to the treasure.

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.
