Here we’ve collected our numerous guides covering the numerous mechanics and activities of Online. Red Dead Online shares many similarities with Red Dead Redemption 2’s story mode (all our story guide are here, by the way). There are, however, a number of fundamental differences which are made even more pronounced by the multitude of similarities. Playing Red Dead Online like you’d play the single player just won’t do.
Several mechanics and systems present in the story mode are also present in Red Dead Online, albeit in an altered format, and many others are exclusive to the multiplayer mode. Abilities, the economy, various PvP modes, the social system and more aren’t encounted while you’re playing through the journey of Arthur Morgan, and understanding these is key to enjoying Red Dead Online.
Below, you’ll find all of our guides that we’ve collected on just about every topic in Red Dead Online that needs covering, organized by category.
