30 Huge Tips for Beginners in Red Dead Online - Guide for New Players 2024

which weapon horse or roll should you buy first in red dead online how to earn gold which settings are good and who killed kennedy i bet as a new player you asking yourself all these questions well these 30 tips for beginners video will help you to find almost all the answers i mean almost all the answers because obviously your first role choice should depend on your playing style and personal preferences but let's begin first tip is about character creation if you're not willing to spend all day creating your character it will probably look ugly but don't worry you can change your appearance at any time here first time is free but then you will have to pay 400 dollars it says 10 gold bars here but you can choose to pay dollars instead but remember you won't be able to change gender of your character i mean it's a wild west it's not that progressive next tip is about the best settings there's one thing that you need to know about default settings in red dead online i mean default settings in this game are just terrible change pretty much anything and you will receive some advantage for example for controller settings change this one and you will receive easy fishing change this one and you will get an advantage in melee fights and if you're using auto aiming change this as well it's gonna be much much easier by the way if you're playing on a pcs or the tricks that you have to know about even if you don't have controller at all you still have to go to controller settings and change lock on mode to 3m otherwise game will be thinking that you're using auto aiming and you will not receive free aim bonus which is 20 experience per each kill even if we're talking about killing animals and since there is no auto aiming for mouse and a keyboard anyways you will lose a lot of experience so now you started the game and maybe even completed some story missions and you're thinking well should i be good or bad in this game which reputation should i have because there is a reputation system and your honor level shown right here but you know what it does not matters like pretty much at all it only affects the choice of land of opportunity missions a storyline for online there is a good path and the bad one and even if you will complete one of those you will still change your honor at any point and complete the second one you can easily decrease your honor level by killing npcs wounded animals and bounty targets or increase your honor level by simply feeding your horse yes it makes you a good person there's also an npc that changes your honor level if you will pay him gold but there is totally no reason to visit him but if you will choose to have a bad reputation and will kill npcs cows and steal horses stuff like that remember there will be bounty on your head get 10 bounty and bounty hunter npcs will follow you around 20 bounty will make you a target for most players who have leveled up bounty hunter roll at least a little bit and having even five dollars bounty on your head is kinda dangerous because players who bought up great for the bounty hunter roll and leveled it up will hunt you so if you don't want all these problems you can pay half of your bounty at box office or at your camp and it will be gone and i guess now it's time to talk about money you are probably not good with investments or saving money it's not related to the topic of this video just saying anyway in this game there are two currencies dollars and gold bars well technically three but don't worry about those blue coins it's for rolls and you will earn more of them that you can spend so gold is most important and i mean it's no coincidence that we can buy it with real life money and you can earn it with help of treasure maps daily challenges achievements or by doing different activities first let's talk about different activities in which you can earn gold i'm talking about pvp events land of opportunity missions strange emissions and telegram missions stuff like this there's one thing that they all have in common and you absolutely have to know about it the amount of gold that you're gonna receive for completing such activity only depends on the times that you will spend for doing this activity so you're like a lawyer or a prostitute you're not getting paid for result you're only getting paid for a time spent so complete strange emission for example in less than three minutes and receive no gold at all if you will spend less than 6 minutes you will receive 8 gold nuggets if you will spend less than 9 minutes you will receive 16 gold nuggets and so on maximum amount is 48 gold nuggets for half an hour if you will spend more than half an hour on an activity you will get no extra payments so maximum amount of gold per minute we are getting for completing missions in 3 6 9 or 12 minutes and if we're talking about money it should be exactly 10 minutes but the way timer starts when you appear on the map after watching the cut scene it's not always the same as the timers you can see on your screen i mean not in all activities there is even a timer so the system is kind of weird and i personally don't like it but you definitely have to know how it works by the way one of the best ways to earn gold and money is to look for the treasures with help of treasure maps you're gonna receive such treasure map for each 5 levels just go to the post office and take it also they can be found in some free-roam random encounters for example you can find it on a tree you can loot treasure maps from npcs but it's kinda random and chances are pretty low and you will receive a treasure map for having 28 days streak on your daily challenges on average you will find one gold bar and 100 dollars in a treasure chest so i definitely suggest you not to miss this opportunity because you will have to spend like 10 minutes and it's a good profit for 10 minutes if you for some reason have problems with finding some specific treasure red dead online interactive map by gin rope will help you link in the description it's an extremely useful source for red dead online we will talk about this later a lot next way of earning goals that i've mentioned is to complete daily challenges each day you will receive 7 small missions that you can check in the left menu under the daily challenges tab complete 1 and you will receive base payment 0.1 gold bars complete all 7 and you will receive extra 3 base payments which is 0.3 gold bars there are additional three daily challenges for each roll and if you will complete 9 such role daily challenges you will also receive free base payments by the way this base payment will be increased if you will have a streak it means you will complete at least one daily challenge each day without missing a day after 28 days your streak will be reset but you will receive treasure map and 100 dollars i strongly suggest to all new players to at least maintain the streak because even after enough daily challenge system is a good solid way to make gold so try to complete at least one daily challenge each day just pick the easiest one and it will take like 2 minutes there is another major way of making gold bars that you have to remember about i'm talking about resetting awards so just open menu go to progress choose awards and choose some category like combat i'm pretty sure that when you will play for some time you will unlock many of these achievements some can be unlocked only once and you will receive a useless buckle but some awards can be reset up to 10 times and each time you will receive 0.4 gold bars which is pretty good so keep an eye on this i mean each time when you receive an award there is a pop-up message but you might miss it so occasionally go to this progress rewards and check maybe you can reset some of the awards and earn easy gold and now you're probably thinking okay now i'm ready to go and kill some bandits but there's something you need to know about combat system in red dead online before you even begin shooting first of all there are ability cards in this game but as a low level you need to know only one thing when you will be able to choose first ability for free big painted black it's much better than other options for both pvp and pv pick this one and don't worry about ability cards at all until you will reach level 40 or even 50 because it's not effective to invest money into ability cards at the beginning of the game i mean level 1 ability card is not gonna change too much and you just will not have enough money to upgrade them so just don't worry and rather spend money on other useful stuff and later when you're gonna be high level you will buy different useful ability cards and level them up but be careful many ability cards are just bad so before buying them i suggest you to watch my ability cards guide link will be in the description now take a look here you see indicators for health stamina and dead eye this icon is a core or status and the circle around it is a bar for example when the die is active you are using your dead eye bar at first and then using your core as you will mention for a new character the bars are not full it's not 100 but you can level them up and that's a tip level them up but how to do this well it's super easy to level up health bar just kill enemies with throwball weapons like tomahawks in a melee or using ball you can buy ball at level 10 but there is another way to level up your health bar is just by fishing fishing rod is available on level 14. the easiest way to level up stem in a bar is just to run with acceleration i mean it levels up super fast that i bar usually takes the longest time to level up so when you will be creating a new character rather invest these points into dead eye anyway you can level up the dive bar by killing enemies with a headshot or skinning animals i don't know why but you level up the dye while skinning animals but how to restore your health stamina and they die well health and stamina are regenerating over time all you need to know here is that you can increase your health regeneration rate by taking cover and seminar will regenerate much faster if you will use iron one ability card but it's much more complicated with dead dye it's not regenerating over time so you can restore it only by making kills important note if your the die is active while you making a kill you will not restore any amount of the die but there are many ability cuts that will help you to refuel the dive bar for example eye for an eye lift for the fight kicking the butt and so on another way to restore your bars is to drink a tonic white tonics will simply fully restore your bars and golden tonics will even fortify them it means will give you some extra health stamina or dead eye and here is something that you really need to know tonics are overpowered in this game especially level 3 tonics like special health cure it will give you insane amount of extra health but it only can be crafted because level 1 and level 2 tonics can be simply bought from the catholic or between pvp showdown matches of course they can be crafted as well to do this you only need to gather some herbs find a campfire and craft some and since we're talking about campfire don't forget to cook and consume food it will restore or even fortify your course i strongly suggest you to only craft big gay meat with herbs which mean for example it will fortify your health status and the easiest way to get some big game meat is to kill alligators around zendini now let's talk about weapons that you should buy first you're really gonna need warm ant rifle it's good for pve because it kills npcs with one headshot from any distance and it has high fire rate and enough armor it's a must have for hunting birds and small animals like rabbits it's not gonna ruin the pelts it will help you with a collector roll later because you can get eggs from the nest with it and the most importantly it's cheap i mean as a new player you're not gonna have too much money bo is the next weapon that i suggest you to buy you're gonna level up health bar it's good for killing bigger animals like deers without ruining the belt quality just aim for the head and it can be used for stealth kills as the next weapon choice will depend on whether you are comfortable with free aiming if you can't land your shots without using painted black or auto amines and try to save for rolling block rifle it's pretty expensive but it's really good and you know what sniper rifles are overpowered in red dead online so you're gonna get used to them rolling block is good for pvp good for pve and good for hunting but if you're not really comfortable with free enemies then go and buy bolt action rifle instead it's also good for hunting bigger animals like deers or alligators without ruining a belt quality and you can use it in pve i mean it's a good choice for new players that's pretty much all the weapons that you're gonna need at the lower levels but if you want to find out more about weapons in this game linked to the top best guns in red that online video will be in the description there are also different ammo types in this game and here is a tip try to use express ammo any way you can i mean it's probably the best ammo type except explosive ammo express ammo is only available on level 41 but it's worth it i mean regular ammo is only good for the hatches especially in pvp for the way about pvp i don't really suggest you to take part in any pvp activities on the lower levels first you want to level up your stats get some weapons maybe ability cards unlock express armor and maybe then consider taking part because you're just gonna be ruined by high level players who are abusing tonics has a lot of weapons and good ability cards only exception is hardcore pvp showdown series where everyone is equal it's not always in the game but it can be found in a quick join hardcore series for the same reasons you want to avoid fighting other players in a free roam but how to protect yourself from being attacked well here is a big tip you want to tune on defensive mode to do so go to the menu online options and change playing style from offensive to defensive then you will need to wait 30 seconds without attacking any other players and here you go you are in a defensive what it gives you first of all solid damage reduction only in pvp obviously second of all other players can not attack you in the melee or last you but you cannot use lasso against them as well you're protected from the hatches because hatchets will do you the same amount of damage as regular body shots and usually they're doing way more damage like five times more at least but the most importantly painted black and auto aiming is not working for someone who's trying to attack you but it's not working for you as well in pvp obviously in pve it will work just fine so you have some sort of protection but remember don't attack first it will remove defensive mode and you're not gonna be able to activate it for some time now let's answer one of the most popular questions in red dead online which is the best horse and i bet this answer is gonna surprise you on practice there is no big difference between horses yes you've heard it correctly one hundred dollar and one thousand dollar horse are almost equal i know that at the beginning you have this first horse and it feels pretty bad it feels like this horse is almost dying all the time it runs out of stamina but it's not because this horse is bad it's because you have not leveled it up yet and you don't have proper saddle but you might say wait a second there are studs that are showing that my horse is bad because it has low speed and acceleration and the other horse that i can buy with gold is so much better but here is the trick one bar in speed equals only to 0.6 percent of real speed on practice i've tested it many times and you can get up to three bars from saddle and acceleration does not matter at all on practice according to my tests amount of stamina doesn't matter as well because with proper saddle you will never run out of stamina on any horse so the only parameters that matters at least a little bit is amount of health but it's also not that important just level up your horse by good saddle and you'll be fine to speak any horse that you like to level up your horse to increase its bonding level from 1 to 4 you just need to ride it feed it and calm it down occasionally that's why i suggest you to feed your horse with wild carrots that are growing pretty much anywhere always haze that you can buy from stables and it's extremely cheap and really effective it will take some time if you want to do it faster for some reason just lead the horse and now let's talk about the saddles the best saddle in this game is called nakadochis it's pretty expensive and available on higher levels but it's way superior than any other saddle just because it's broken but to be honest if you don't like how it looks you will be fine with absolutely any other expensive saddle like upland delgado and so on what's important though is not forget to buy the most expensive steer ups for your saddle available actually you can do it from the lowest levels just buy the cheapest saddle and the best tear ups you can afford and you will be pretty fine because stamina drain rate depends on steer t-reps not the saddle again if we're not talking about nakadochis because it's broken and now when you know all the basic information it's time for the main question which role should you buy first well let me briefly tell you about each rollins and it's going to be up for you to choose so collector roll you going around the map and gathering collectible items no shooting involved but a lot of exploration is a good role for solo players and it gives you insane amount of experience and pretty good amount of money bounty hunter roll a lot of shooting but not as much as you would expect from such role less money and experience than in a collector role but it's only roles that will pay you gold trader all good money and experience for solo players and even more money and experience for players who don't mind finding a group that's where you can try to do this in my discord server link will be in the description big benefits for the trader role is that it has some sort of a passive income elements i mean you don't need to do something all the time sometimes your goods are just being produced and you can do other stuff and also leveling up trader role or completing one delivery unlocks access to moonshiner roles it is almost passive income and pretty good income actually but unfortunately you cannot buy moonshiner as a first roll i tried it didn't work out there was also a naturalist role but i definitely don't suggest you to buy this one first it's not a role for new players anyway now you have some basic information about each role and can make your choice but i personally choose to buy collector as the first role because i think that money and experience are more important for beginners than gold and also because open world is the strongest part of red dead online night shooting mechanics and stuff like this but bounty hunter is also a good choice because yes you're gonna earn more gold there and you're gonna need that gold to buy out low passes for example but there is one general tip for any roles that you will decide to buy first level it up because there are more money on the higher levels and invest your money into upgrades for each roll for example you really want to buy medium and large delivery wagons for a trader role as soon as possible same goes for a shower and metal detector for collector roll and a few specific tips for each roll first of all for trader the easiest way to fill up material scale at your trader camp is to give creeps 3 star carcasses of the big animals like deer or cougar not piles carcasses you can see the amount of stars or quality of the animals carcass when you're gonna be aiming at the animal right here and not to ruin this quality you need to kill an animal with one shot and usually is gonna be a headshot using proper weapon which is gonna be different for different animals you can see the weapons that you need to use here next tip for traders if you are playing solo try to avoid long distance deliveries yes it pays more but there is a high risk that you gonna be attacked by other players and they will steal your goods because you know when you making long distance delivery from some point all players in the area will see you on the mini map with this big red circle and yes they will easily attack you but it's even worse you are in danger even if there is no one around you because players who are staying in valentine can see deliveries all across the map like anywhere and they just can fast travel to you and easily steal your wagon and it's always a lot of griffers and valentine i mean it's for some reason like a capital of cravers by the way if you still will decide to make long distance delivery and will get attacked just close the application it works on both consoles and pc and that's how you're not gonna lose any goods you will relock to the game and you will see that all your goods are in a camp and you can deliver them again next tip is for collectoral use interactive maps there is an interactive map again i'm repeating a link in the description in which you can see location of all the collectible items so you just pick some collections preferably with guaranteed spawn because for some collections pawns are random like for coins and arrows so you will have problems gathering full collections and you really want to sell only full collections because you will get much more money this way anyway just pick some guaranteed sets like tarot cards make a route on the map and go gather them all it takes around 2 hours to collect 4 different tarot cards collections and you will earn unachievable for beginners amount of money and experience by doing this next tip is for bounty hunters try to focus on legendary bounties you can find them in a bounty board right here they are much more fun than regular bounties and you will earn more money the same amount of gold but much more money there's one problem with legendary bounties they put you in a solo lobby where there is no collectible items your moonshine and trader goods are not being produced but it's not a problem for beginners because i mean it's the only role you have anyway but later when you will buy other rolls you're gonna use the next tip do grinding for different roles at the same time combine them that's how you're gonna get maximum profit for example it's super easy to combine collector role with trader or moonshiner always both you just set up your production and while goods are being made just go around and search for collectibles by the way next tip if you want to combine bounty hunter with other roles i suggest you to buy prestigious bounty hunter roll it's an upgrade for original roll is cost 15 gold bars but it gives you access for infamous bounties there are pretty cool small missions with smaller payouts and for legendary bounties but when you are doing them your trader and moonshine production is not stopping anyway next tip will be useful for different roles like trader moonshiner or even bounty hunter but this also can be used by players who just want to stay afk and not being keep from the game in 15 minutes so to stay afk for as long as you want just open cathlog it's not working in pvp showdowns pass away and last three tips are more general first of all don't buy anything on monday because you know each tuesday we have so-called weekly update in red dead online which is basically just some discounts and bonuses but i really often see comments like oh no i just bought something and spent all my money and now it goes with a discount so if you want to buy something expensive wait until tuesday next tip don't forget to visit your bonuses page because there will be a lot of tickets for a free stuff especially if you bought some outlaw pass and leveled it up but even without it there will be a lot of tickets for bonuses and you will have to claim them until they will expire and the last tip is probably the most important despite the fact that it might contradict with some previous tips that i gave in this video remember the most important thing is to enjoy the game so don't rush don't hurry don't try to make as much money as possible as soon as possible especially in red dead online it makes no sense because there is still not enough high level content that you can spend your money on and you will really soon have more money than you can ever spend so just explore learn enjoy chill after all i mean this game is really meditative i'm pretty sure that many high-level players will confirm you that this game is most enjoyable at lower levels at the very beginning so just keep in mind since there is really no competitive pvp in red that online there is no even competitive pve i mean it's super simple and easy this game is not about being the first the best or the richest it's about enjoying this beautiful open world and joins this atmosphere of the wild west so yeah my main tip is pretty simple just enjoy the game in any way i hope you enjoyed this video let me know your opinion in the comments and as always thank you for watching like subscribe the svedanya
