Red Dead Online: 10 MAJOR Problems Rockstar Must Fix
1. Stranger Missions
Stranger missions have always been an issue in Red Dead Online but only became a major issue following the inclusion of Black Belle, Jake Adler, and the Aberdeen family.
What was once the go-to activity for leveling up and gaining a quick buck, stranger missions have seen a lot of neglect from developer Rockstar. Initially, the missions were criticised for their low gold and monetary rewards and have now been pushed to one side entirely.
On top of the minuscule rewards, it has become increasingly difficult to get the missions to work. Players have encountered problems such as being unable to access buildings strangers are in, not being able to load the objectives, and being unable to accept the mission.
Many of these bugs have been a persistent issue since May, 2019 when the bonus characters were introduced. Stranger missions are often forgotten due to the inclusion of the Bounty Hunter and other role activities despite offering unique interactions with some beloved characters.
A quick fix and some adjustments to the currently low payouts could see a resurgence in players traveling back to their favourite strangers.
