Red Dead Online: 10 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

5. Play With A Posse And Complete Stranger Missions

Red Dead Online, if you hadn't guessed already, is all about linking up with other players. Even if you don't want to (and, judging from how most interactions have gone so far, it's easy to see why), it's inevitable that you're going to encounter some strangers. If some want to team up, however, then you should oblige that request right away.

Whether you're playing with friends you already know or are roaming around in the West Elizabeth air with a new selection of strangers, having a posse will help make the grind much less difficult and will also act as an effective deterrent to those who wish to interfere with your open world activities, provided you're all handy with your trusty side-iron.

As for the stranger missions themselves, they too take between 10-15 minutes to complete. Doing them on your own, however, does leave you open to attacks from other players, so find a posse as soon as possible, and save yourself a heap of trouble.
