Red Dead Online - 10 Essential Updates Rockstar MUST Add

10. Ranches

Grand Theft Auto online had its fair share of properties and Red Dead online desperately needs some of that love. Yeah, the likes of a biker gang or cocaine warehouse won't be fitting, but a ranch would be perfect.

Being able to manage livestock as well as exporting animal products very much fits in with the time period. Not to mention it would give players quite a lot to do; something really important if you want a consistent playerbase.

In the epilogue of the main campaign (beware, spoilers are following) we were given a glimpse of what life on a ranch would be like. Being in charge of milking cows, calming bulls and feeding the animals presented players with what could be a calming gameplay loop.

Of course, as with everything, this could soon become boring and tedious. But if done well, and combined with others tasks or activities, it could scratch an itch for those who want something to sink some time into.

All of this could be made even better if upgrades were thrown into the mix. The moonshiner role allowed the peddlers of the wild west to upgrade their stills and produce a variety of different flavours of moonshine. Just imagine all the possibilities with a much more in-depth role.
