Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 1 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 New Austin today folks!
We can start in Tumbleweed for the challenges today. We can visit the Gunsmith, then fish for bluegill before heading out to find some pheasants. Let’s get into it…
Desert Sage
Starting in Tumbleweed, visit the gunsmith and customize a weapon. Leave the Gunsmith then 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.
Hummingbird Sage
Travel to Manzanita Post. There is a patch of Hummingbird sage just above the letter ‘N’ in the word Manzanita on the map. There is another right where the letter ‘Z’ is. You should be able to get all five plants from these two spots but just in case, there is another spot just up the hill to the north of the Post.
Burdock Roots
Head over to Aurora Basin to look for some burdock roots. There are a couple of patches either side of the little bit of water that sticks out at the eastern side of the basin. You should get the five plants needed for the challenge from here but if you don’t, there are some more over on the west bank too. Just head round the back of the cabin and carry on along the shore and you should spot them.
Joe
Joe is one of the strangers. He has a cabin just to the east of Emerald Station. Head over to him, walk into the cabin and speak with him. Accept and complete one of the missions he has available.
NPCs Knocked Out
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. Wait for them to turn red on your minimap then release them and put your lasso away. Quickly run at them and tackle them to the ground. Once you have done this you have the upper hand and should be able to easily knock them out. Pick out four more targets and then you are done.
Finishing Off
That just leaves the hunting. I find heading into Bluewater Marsh the best way to do this. The mud flats near where the railway track forks over the water is a good place to get knife kills. There are plenty of toads, frogs and turtles that you can catch on foot. Use your knife to kill five of them.. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
5 ANIMALS KILLED WITH A KNIFE – You can mercy kill wounded animals with your knife, rope them and kill them with your knife, or just find small, slow animals, equip your knife and use melee to kill them. Toads, Turkeys and Chickens are good targets.
5 BURDOCK ROOTS PICKED – Burdock roots can be found by the banks of most northern rivers and lakes. The banks of the Dakota on the stretch just south of Valentine is a good spot to pick up all 5 for the challenge
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 HUMMINGBIRD SAGE PICKED – Northern Scarlett Meadows is a good spot. Or try just south of Manzanita Post for another great spot.
1 JOE MISSIONS COMPLETED – Joe is one of the strangers. He can be found to the east of Emerald Ranch. Speak with him, accept and complete a mission.
5 NON-PLAYER ENEMIES KNOCKED OUT – Antagonise a lone rider out on the trail somewhere by lassoing them off their horse. Quickly put your lasso away, tackle them and beat them to knock them out.
1 WEAPON CUSTOMISED – Head to a gun smith and if you have already purchased a wrap for one of your guns, simply remove it and replace it. Easy Gold!

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.
