I've just slipped back into a Red Dead Online phase, spending hours with my 'pardner' chasing bounties down with a lasso, a Mauser, and a $36.12 dream, and by luck, there's an entire July-long bounty hunting event live right now. However, now is your last chance to earn some of the rewards.

You have until July 6 to complete two bounties and receive three hawkmoth bolas and 100 rounds of express repeater ammo—completing any bounty this month will also reward you with the Asking for Trouble emote, or the War Cry emote for a legendary bounty.

After tomorrow, another set of challenges will open up, giving you the chance to earn the blue Eberhart Coat.

  • June 30–July 6: complete two bounties to unlock the hawkmoth bolas and 100 rounds of express repeater ammo.
  • July 7–13: complete an activity with a persistent posse to receive the Eberhart Coat.
  • July 14–20: purchase a weapon modification to receive a Reward for the West Hill Haven treasure map.
  • July 21–27: rank up five times or reach Rank 20 (or higher) as a bounty hunter to receive the orange Raccoon Hat.
  • July 28–August 3: complete two bounties to receive a free weapon.

Posse XP Bonus, Limited-Time Oufits, And More

For greenhorn bounty hunters, your first stop is Rhodes to grab a license. Rockstar has slashed five gold bars off the entry fee for the duration of the event, and there's a sale on right now for essentials like throwing weapons and repeaters. If you get to Rank 10 in time, you'll also be able to secure the Bounty Hunter Wagon completely free, which is perfect if your posse is wrangling a few targets at once.

Rockstar is also rewarding triple money and XP until August 3 for participating in Day of Reckoning or Manhunt, both of which will reward you with the Rushword Shirt. Logging in at any point during the event will also allow you to secure some returning limited-time clothing, like the Rebellion Poncho—and if you're a bounty hunter, the Spirit of 1776 Bandana. The Concho Pants, Patterned Bandana, Porter Jacket, Macbay Jacket, and Torranca Coat are also up for grabs at tailors for a limited time.
