Red Dead Redemption 2 players warned they've 24 hours to nab free DLC

Red Dead Online is currently hosting a free event where you can claim loads of freebies, but you’ve only got 24 hours to nab the goods.

Red Dead Online is a game that comes bundled with full purchases of the 2018 smash-hit Red Dead Redemption 2 from Rockstar Games, or it can be purchased as a standalone game if you choose.

Check out the Red Dead Online trailer below!

“Step into the vibrant, ever-evolving world of Red Dead Online and experience life in frontier America,” reads the synopsis. “Chase down bounties, battle outlaw gangs and other players, hunt, fish and trade, search for exotic treasures, run Moonshine, and much more to discover in a world of astounding depth and detail.”

While Rockstar Games has sadly not supported Red Dead Online anywhere near to the level of GTA Online, and some would argue wasted its potential, that’s not to say that it doesn't get supported with free events.

One such event is happening right now with ‘Trader Bonuses’. Until 2 December 2024, you can earn free DLC, currency, XP and more by simply playing Red Dead Online.

Some of those rewards will be available at any point during the event while others will only be available on weekly rotation. Moreover, some of those weekly rotations are about to end in less than a day.

As part of the ‘Tumbleweed Series’, by simply playing this mode which runs to the end of play on 11 November, you will receive 2x Ability Card and 2x XP Gold.

Happy days.

What’s more, by logging into Red Dead Online at any point during the ‘Trader Bonuses’ event, you will be gifted with 20 Small Game Arrows, as well as two Potent Miracle Tonics until 2 December.

Additionally, by completing a Trader Sale by the 11 November, you will receive a pair of Faucheux Gloves. Unfortunately, those gloves are in-game and not for real life.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online are out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
