Red Dead Online: 10 Tips & Tricks To Ensure Victory Every Time
10. Posse Up (Seriously)
Rockstar
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.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
