Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 18 October
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 Valentine for the challenges today. We can visit the Gunsmith, look for pigs then head to Lemoyne for cows. Let’s get into it…
Weapons Customised
Starting in Valentine, head to the Gunsmith on the main strip in town. Go in and speak with the Gunsmith and customise one of your weapons. I tend to just change the cloth wrap on one of my rifles as this is free and counts towards the challenge.
Pork
There are pigs behind the Sheriff’s Office on the main strip in Valentine. Another good place to check is the Auction sheds. If those don’t prove fruitful, then check at the farm out where the letter ‘I’ in the word Valentine is on the map. And if you still have no luck there, then head down to Flatneck Station. It’s worth pointing out that I think in all these locations the pigs only spawn during the day. Kill and skin them to get pork.
Cows
Hill Haven Ranch is a good place to find cows. Head across the river into Scarlett Meadows. Hill Haven Ranch sits between Mattock Pond and Ringneck Creek. On the hill that leads down to the Kamassa River there are a couple of paddocks. There are cows in these paddocks. Skin three of them to complete the challenge. There is a campfire at the shack at the top of the hill that you can use to season and cook the pork we collected earlier.
Finishing Off
Join a Posse, play a Call to Arms match and complete at least one wave of enemies then grab your shotgun. Load into a Showdown and get three kills with the shotgun. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
3 COOKED SEASONED PORK – Pork can be got from Pigs and Boar. Both are common in the wild all over the map, especially at night. Boar can often be found in Bluewater Marsh & Scarlett meadows. For Pigs try Cholla Springs. Then head to a fire, season up that pork and cook it up.
3 COWS SKINNED – Emerald Ranch, The ranch just north of Rhodes, and the ranch just north of the tunnel near Heartlands Oil Fields are all good places for cows. Kill and skin them at night to reduce your chances of attracting the law.
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
3 PLAYER KILLS WITH A SHOTGUN IN SHOWDOWN – Equip your shotgun then join a Showdown. Weapon of choice is good if you don’t own a shotgun yet. Takeover or Shootout series are most reliable for registering kills. You will need to be in the lobby beforehand for the kills to count
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
1 WAVES COMPLETED IN CALL TO ARMS – Go into your satchel and tab over to the Documents page. Open your Telegrams then accept a Call to Arms. Survive at least one wave of enemies.
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.
