Whether you\u2019re tackling the intimidating lawlessness of the Old West by yourself or teaming up with a posse, money is absolutely essential to surviving in Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a>\u2019s online mode. With a vast array of activities at your disposal, it can be difficult to know where to focus your efforts to earn cash quickly. Luckily, we\u2019ve got you covered, partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looting still remains one of the quickest and easiest ways to make money in Red Dead Online, especially if you’re looking to make some extra cash without putting in too much effort. While the cash you get from looting enemies might be modest, you\u2019ll often come across valuable items such as pocket watches<\/strong>, platinum bands<\/strong>, necklaces<\/strong>, and antique jewellery<\/strong> that can be sold to Fences<\/strong> for a nice payout. After taking down a few enemies, a trip to a fence is always recommended to sell off your haul and top up your reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looting remains highly effective, especially in missions, Free Roam<\/strong> events, and camp raids<\/strong>, where enemies can drop valuable collectables that boost your earnings. Though the general loot payout from enemies hasn\u2019t changed much, the opportunity to loot rare items has increased, especially with updates introducing more collectable items across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story Missions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the most reliable ways to make money in Red Dead Online is by completing Story Missions<\/strong>. These missions are scattered around the map, typically indicated by a yellow icon<\/strong> or fog cloud on the map. Completing these missions can yield substantial rewards, often scaling into the hundreds of dollars, and occasionally even more depending on your performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story missions are still one of the best ways to earn cash quickly, and in addition to the payout, you’ll often get a chunk of gold<\/strong> and a pile of corpses to loot for extra cash. As the game has progressed, more multi-part<\/strong> story missions have been added, increasing the potential for larger rewards. Plus, these missions are an excellent way to earn experience points (XP), boosting your progression and unlocking additional content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Become A Collector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a Collector<\/strong> in Red Dead Online<\/em> is still one of the most lucrative ways to make money, though it requires patience and dedication. You\u2019ll need to reach level 5<\/strong> in the Collector role<\/strong> to unlock the Metal Detector<\/strong> upgrade, which is essential for finding valuable buried items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the Diamond Bag<\/strong> upgrade remains key to maximizing your earnings. Once you\u2019ve unlocked it, you’ll be able to store more rare collectables, allowing you to find higher-value items during your hunts. The Collector role has evolved with the addition of rare seasonal items<\/strong>, giving players even more opportunities to collect and sell high-value artefacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Metal Detector<\/strong> still proves useful for finding valuable items buried underground, and with maps<\/strong> purchased from the Collector Vendor<\/strong>, you can uncover hidden treasures all over the map. This is a particularly passive way to earn money, as you can search for collectables while you travel between other missions or events, making it easy to earn cash while going about your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treasure Hunting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Treasure hunting remains an excellent method for earning significant amounts of cash in Red Dead Online. Treasure maps, awarded to players every five levels<\/strong> starting from level 10<\/strong>, will lead you to hidden caches of money and gold. These maps can also be found in the hideouts of bandit leaders<\/strong>, and players who take part in bounty hunting<\/strong> and raid missions<\/strong> are likely to come across treasure maps as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treasure-hunting system has evolved with additional treasure locations and increased rewards, ensuring that players can still find treasure even after completing the initial map sets. It\u2019s an enjoyable pursuit because you\u2019ll not only find gold and cash but also special resources like health tonics, ammunition, and rare collectables, making treasure hunting a rewarding and fun activity for those looking to make a decent amount of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
