Red Dead Online: 10 Tips & Tricks To Ensure Victory Every Time

10. Posse Up (Seriously)

For some players, posse-ing up may be a privilege they can't access. However, for those who have friends ready and raring to hop into Red Dead's PVP modes - or even embark on stranger missions too, for that matter - having a posse is a must.

Stranger Missions in the game's open world are pretty much a death-wish for those who embark on them with no one to join; enemies are ruthless and with rival players in the server encouraged to wreak havoc on their given objective, it's easy to see why having a posse is so essential. It's an effective deterrent, and a great way to dominate PVP, should your opponent find themselves outgunned.

Then there's PVP. While of course it's totally justifiable to hop into Red Dead's Showdown Series playlists on your lonesome (the lack of a team-based playlist is frustrating), finding a reliable contingent of allies to fight alongside will make the overall experience much, much easier.
