Earn Gold in Red Dead Online
There are many activities you can do in Red Dead Online that will earn you money, but not all of them will earn you gold. If gold nuggets and gold bars are your goal, you'll want to focus on the following activities.
Complete challenges
One of the best ways to get gold is by completing your Daily Challenges. These challenges will be offered to you in the form of daily challenges that you can access by viewing them in the menu. These can be viewed by tapping the left of the numeric keypad on PS4 and Xbox One, then scrolling down to Daily Challenges. Completing your daily challenges will earn you Gold Bars and these will reset daily. The more challenges you complete, the more gold nuggets you will get. Consider chaining these daily challenges for several days to get bonus streaks.
Along with the daily challenges, you can also complete daily role challenges. Daily Role Challenges can be completed for any role you've started, which includes: Moonshiner, Bounty Hunter, Trader, and Collector.
The sequences will certainly give you the best value for money. Challenge sets come in many varieties, including a 7 Day (1,5x Gold Multiplier), 14 Day (2x Gold Multiplier), 21 Day (2,5x Gold Multiplier), and 28 Day (gives you 2,5x + treasure map).
Complete the rewards and reset them
In Red Dead Online, you almost accomplish some kind of reward task while playing the game. There are rewards for different roles, competitive modes, shooting, hunting, trading and much more. Simply open the pause menu and head to the Progress tab then Rewards to track your progress. Some of these rewards can be reset, and resetting them will earn you gold.
Become a bounty hunter
If you play the role of a bounty hunter (this can start in Rhodes) you will earn gold for every bounty you collect. Just stop at different post stations and collect bounties in Red Dead Online and each one you collect will earn you gold. Tackling harder bounties will earn you more gold.
Foreign missions
Completing missions for aliens will earn you gold every time you do one. To find these missions, open your map and look for the pink markers with the human avatar on them. If you hover over them, they will say “foreign”. There are many different types of foreign missions, but each will give you gold when you complete it.
Play PvP
If PvE isn't your thing, you can always head to PvP sessions in Red Dead Online to earn gold as well. However, the amount of gold you earn in PvP is directly related to your performance in matches, so the better you deal with these competitive missions, the more gold you will earn.
Land of Opportunity Missions
Land of Opportunity Missions are the story missions of Red Dead Online and they are a guaranteed source of gold. You will meet Horley at the start of Red Dead Online and you will find his initials on the map to complete these missions. Just head to the yellow card locations to get those Guaranteed Gold Missions.
Finding Gold in Red Dead Online
There is a lot of gold to be found in Red Dead Online and this hidden gold can be found at the Treasure locations. Simply collect the treasure maps, then hunt down the treasures of the world. Once you find them, you will find that your reward will often be gold nuggets.
Get gold with the Outlaw Pass
The Outlaw Pass costs gold to buy, but if you complete it you'll get all your gold and then some. The pass will reward you with gold rewards at various levels, as well as treasure maps to compensate for the 40 gold bars that the Outlaw pass costs.
Buy Gold from Rockstar for use in Red Dead Online
If you don't like the grind, you can still buy gold in Red Dead Online. To buy gold, you need to go to the Store option of the game and then select the denomination of the gold bars you want to buy. There are many levels and you can spend as much money as you want on the currency.
And There you go. These are the best ways to get gold in Red Dead Online. By focusing on these activities and logging in specifically each day to earn Gold Multipliers, you can build up your Gold Pools in Red Dead Online very quickly.
