Red Dead Online is here, and it isn't the most forgiving of multiplayer modes. Fittingly, perhaps, the mode also features an unforgiving economy, which forces players to embark on a lengthy grind in order to be successful in.

It's frustrating, to say the least, but there are a number of tools players can use in order to ensure they don't find themselves dirt farming in some random backwater ranch, penniless and without a weapon to their name.

That is, of course, unless you end up getting stifled by the game’s equally frustrating playerbase, who seem far more concerned with griefing their fellow outlaws than they are with striking it rich.

The following tips and tricks aren't going to make the process of getting rich any less laborious than it already appears to be, but they prove that there are a number of ways to make money in the new online economy. Said economy is likely to change with successive updates, but for now, players will have to do the best with what they've got, which - admittedly - isn’t a whole lot.
