RED DEAD ONLINE: SPORT OF KINGSNEW SHOWDOWN MODE PLUS 30% XP BOOST ON ALL ACTIVITIES AND MORE THIS WEEK

Battle on horseback to secure the burning torch and ride through all your team's signal fires to score in Sport of Kings. The newest Red Dead Online Showdown Mode is a true test of horsemanship for two teams and four to eight players, with Sawed-off Shotguns for close combat and rare single-shot Dynamite Bow pickups on either side of the torch to help even the odds.

This week, the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. Catalogue receives a trio of new clothing items. Protect your head, neck and shoulders from the blazing sun while looking extraordinary in the Strung Sombrero. The Gibbston Pants, featuring hand-cut leather paneling and cross-stitched sides - perfect for town or trail. And the all-black variant of the Chuparosa Poncho, handwoven south of the border and shipped to the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. warehouse. Throw it over the shoulder for a debonair look.

And for the next two weeks all players who are at least Rank 10 will receive a care package featuring Bait and special Arrows like the Poison Arrow, a powerful weapon in taking down large game that is normally crafted using arrows, feathers and Oleander after the acquisition of a Poison Arrow Pamphlet.

Players who are at least Rank 20 will get an additional package that includes Provisions and Big Game Meats like the Minty Big Game Meat that is normally cooked after acquiring Mint and Big Game Meat and gives you a Gold Health Core. 

To help you hit those Rank bonus thresholds, take advantage of a 30% XP Boost on all activities this week.

Red Dead Online's newest game mode will test your riding skills as well as your combat prowess. Joining the new mode are a series of new clothing options, various additional bonuses to make progression a bit easier, and a pair of care packages to help you out with consumables.

In Sport Of Kings, your horsemanship and team coordination abilities will be required to secure victory for your team. The goal is to use the torch to light your team's signal fires that are scattered throughout the map. When all of your fires are lit, you score a point.

There is only one torch, and other players can grab it from you if you die while carrying it. To that end, everyone is equipped with shotguns, and there are explosive arrow pickups present on the map. You light the signal fires by riding through them with the torch.

Three new clothing items have been added to the in-game catalog. The Strung Sombrero is perfect in the summer heat, the Gibbston Pants are rugged and tough for the road, and finally the Chuparosa Poncho gets a black repaint for all the edgy characters out there.

Players will also receive care packages this week based on what ranks they have reached in the game. Anyone who is at least Rank 10 will get a bonus 20x Fire, Poison and Small Game arrows as well as 5x Predator and Herbivore baits. However, if you've hit Rank 20 or above, you'll get a second package as well, this time containing 3x Minty, Oregano and Thyme Big Game Meats, 5x Jolly Jacks's, Cocaine Gum, Moonshine, Gin, Guarma Rum and Fire Brandy as well as 10x Corned Beef and Canned Salmon.

To help you reach these rank requirements, this week there is a universal 30% increase on all XP. Any activity in Red Dead Online that earns you XP will give you that much more.

Yeah, looks like a spin on what's already available. Also don't know why they made the ponchos like neckwear.

Nice!!

Ive been sporting a strung Sombrero for a while now, it is my favorite hat in the game, so it was nice to see the colors available today and the black poncho too.of the other sombreros and they were 8 gold each, now I dont even wear them, so I kind of wish I had waited for these, but whatever, just glad to see the new additions.

I had previously purchased two

Wish R* would stop with with these PVP updates and clothing.

They need to STOP with the pvp modes, its already too over saturated..   Pick a few pvp modes, make them easy to access..  Give proper hosting lobbies with options.  And leave it alone.

 

Clothing.. Well, enough is enough.    How about some damn horses?
