A new Red Dead Online update is out on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia, and fans of Red Dead Redemption 2’s online world aren’t very happy about it. Much like last week’s update, there’s not much to this week’s update. Launching Featured Series, which is a Hardcore take on Most Wanted where the rules are quite straightforward: kill or be killed. The twist is the more you scale the leaderboard, the more your head becomes valuable for other hunters.
This week’s Featured Series has 2X RDO$ and XP for all participants, but only until March 8. So if you’re — somehow — strapped on cash or XP, this will be the mode you want to grind this week.
There are also the usual bonuses and rewards. It includes discovering any Collectible while in Free Roam will dish out double the normal amount of XP. Adding to this, all Collector Free Roam Events have an extra 50 percent of RDO$ for players, as well as boosts for both Character and Role XP.
The bonuses and rewards don’t end there though. There are some bonuses for fossil collectors, free fast travel, and no rank requirements on Fence Weapons. That said, while there’s plenty to the new update, not much of it is of consequence, with the replies to the tweet about the update currently from disappointed to simply furious.
You lost your ways R*

And y'all are back at it again to making your long-term, loyal players the last thing on your minds. Cool. Thanks 🙃
Better content is needed and not a year from now. If y'all care about this game, show it better than useless discounts and bonuses

You cannot play a big rdr serum, you get lost with this loss, a simple update, so that you are silent, we want a big update, or open the map completely to the second side, and give us huts that are not a house, but huts other than these damned camps
