Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 26 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 visit the stables, then hunt hawks before making the most of this months free fast travel. Let’s get into it…
Horse Tack
Start off in Tumbleweed. Visit the stables then use the menu to change the tack on one of your horses. Navigate the menu into Tack and Services, then saddles. Pick one of the saddles and just by entering the menu you should complete the challenge. There is no need to actually change anything.
Hawks
There are plenty of good spots to look for hawks around Tumbleweed too. Rathskeller Fork, north of town, is a good place to check. So is Gaptooth Breach. The cliff edge that overlooks the railway line west of Tumbleweed is a good spot too. Shoot and pluck a hawk when you spot one.
Free Roam Missions
A good area to do the three Free Roam Missions is West Elizabeth and Hennigan’s Stead. Hector is at the Post Office in Blackwater, Sean McGuire has a camp between Blackwater and Quaker’s Cove and a Shack in Tall Trees. Shaky can be found at Thieves Landing. James Langton has a camp just northwest of MacFarlane’s Ranch, and Bonnie is at The Ranch. Speak with three of these and complete an available mission.
Chanterelle
Travel to Rhodes. Ride up past Southfield Flats to where the second to last letter ‘T’ is in the word Scarlett on the map. In the trees just next to the road is a patch of Chanterelle. There is another patch just west of here in the woods at the end of the words Mattock Pond on the map. You should be able to get the five plants needed from these two spots.
Alaskan Ginseng
Travel to Wapiti. Ride south and then west past Cotorra Springs. Follow the road round the cliffs and then continue west over Whinyard Strait. A little after crossing the bridge there is a right turn. Make the turn and follow the path up to Chez Porter. On your right hand side, below the tower you will find a little garden full of Alaskan Ginseng. This is the only place that you can pick more than one at once so it’s worth the trip up here.
Finishing Off
Hunt and stow animals on horseback then wait for an invite to a Free Roam Event. Join the event and get the player kills from the hip. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
5 ALASKAN GINSENG PICKED – Alaskan Ginseng can be found in Ambarino and Northern West Elizabeth. They grow in forests and are usually on their own. There is a farm near Window Rock that has loads of plants. Just check near the tower.
5 ANIMALS STOWED ON HORSEBACK – Kill 5 animals and stow them on the back of your horse. Easy gold!
5 CHANTERELLE PICKED – Chanterelle can be found in Lemoyne and the East of New Hanover near the border with Lemoyne. Check to the west of Mattock Pond and Bolger Glade if you’re struggling to find some.
3 FREE ROAM MISSIONS COMPLETED – Complete 3 free roam missions, such as stranger missions for this one. Dynamic events like rescues/escorts/ambushes do not count.
1 HAWKS PLUCKED – Rathskeller Fork is absolutely my go to spot for hawks. Several spawn points there, just go in daylight hours and you’ll find them.
1 HORSE TACK UPDATED – Head over to the stables and change an item of Horse Tack. If you have already upgraded your Tack, just switch it out and back again. Easy Gold!
PLAYER KILLS FROM THE HIP IN FREE ROAM EVENTS – Free Roam events are every 45mins and you must be in free roam when one is due to start to be invited. Kill players with any firearm without aiming down the sights. Use Paint it black and a shotgun and overcome that muscle memory!

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.
