Time to grind some new series! Check out the official news below.
Keep your wits and your blades sharp this week – Red Dead Online is introducing four new maps to the Showdown Series, each of which sees you armed with just a fistful of Throwing Knives at the round’s outset. Keep an eye out for the Shotguns littering the map for a deadly edge in combat. Take part in this week’s Featured series – or any Showdown Series – to earn Double XP through April 13th.
Overrun – Pike’s Basin
A good, old-fashioned turf war in the arid climes of Pike’s Basin. The rules are simple: Capture and retain the most territories to win. It’s surviving and holding on that are the hard part
Spoils of War – Roanoke Valley
Just to the north of the Annesburg Mines, the great state of New Hanover plays host to a deadly game of capture. Defend your stockpile from enemies while stealing from them at the same time. Whichever team steals the most wins. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map.
Plunder – Stillwater Creek
Take control of unclaimed loot in the long grass and murky waters of Stillwater Creek, returning it to your team’s home base to outscore your rivals. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map.
Up in Smoke – Kamassa River
The calm waters of the meandering Kamassa River are the backdrop for this frenetic and explosive mode. All players start out carrying a package — the goal is to deliver said package to your enemy’s camp without getting killed. Whichever team delivers the most or all of their packages by the end of the game will destroy the enemy base for good. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map.
Look out for fresh maps hitting two more Showdown Modes in the next couple of weeks.
