Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 7 May
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 hunt for a hawk, then go for a train ride and defend some campsites. Let’s get into it…
Hawks
Start off in Tumbleweed. There are plenty of good spots to look for hawks. 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.
Distance on a Train
Fast Travel to MacFarlane’s Ranch and a train will very likely spawn in as you get there. Hop on the train and ride it all the way round to Mercer Station. By the time you get here, the distance should be covered off and the challenge completed.
Defend Campsite
There is a triangle of campsite spawn points between Blackwater, Strawberry and Tall Trees. One is southeast of Fort Riggs just before you cross the river on the road out of Blackwater. There is another to the west of the fort. If you then turn left and head down towards Tall Trees there is a third point where a campsite spawns. Ride round this triangle until you find one and then defend it.
Finishing Off
Redfin Pickerel are common in warmer, southern waters. Bread is a good bait to use when targeting them. Head to a campfire and cook up some horse care items. Jab your horse with the tonics then wait for a Free Roam Event. Join the event and get three headshots. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
1 CRAFTED A HORSE CARE ITEM – Potent Horse Stimulant and Potent Horse Medicine can be crafted at a campfire, along with any other recipes you have unlocked. Bulrush and either Sage or Ginseng are needed for these so collect them before heading to a fire.
1 DEFEND A CAMPSITE – Dynamic events happen all over the map. Look for smoke and listen for gunshots. If you see some travellers (wagons circled) being attacked by bandits, go and save them! South of Tumbleweed and the grasslands west of Blackwater are my go to spots for these.
DISTANCE DRIVEN A TRAIN – Find a train, drive it. If you can get a train this is an easy one. The Trolly in Saint Denis won’t work for this one as you can’t drive it. Macfarlane’s Ranch is a good spot to find a train.
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.
2 HORSE TONICS USED – Craft, collect or buy two horse tonics and then use them by accessing the tonics on your weapon wheel and tabbing across to the horse menu
3 PLAYER HEADSHOT KILLS IN FREE ROAM EVENTS – Free Roam Events occur every 45mins. Make sure you are in a free roam lobby when one is due to start to be invited. Join an event and kill other players with headshots.
5 REDFIN PICKEREL CAUGHT – Redfin pickerel can be caught in most waters in the southern half of the map. Special lake lure, special spinner or bread all work for bait.

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.
