While he has a particular affinity for multiplayer titles like World of Warcraft, Destiny 2, and League of Legends, he’s also devoted thousands of hours to single-player experiences, from in-depth RPGs to epic strategies on PC.

The conversation around Grand Theft Auto VI is really starting to heat up right now, with this game closer than ever to release. As such, it can be easy to forget that Rockstar has another major franchise under its belt and there’s still plenty of fun to be had with it, even if they haven’t released a new game in the Red Dead Redemption series since 2018.
Specifically, if you’re happy to jump into the online modes that the game offers, the developer has been very good in providing new events for players to enjoy, the last of which will end very soon on May 4th. That means this is your last opportunity to get some really cool goodies for your character, so here’s everything you need to know to do just that.
On Twitter/X, Rockstar Games common an update confirming some fishing-related goodies for players, all for free.
“Claim a free fishing rod in Red Dead Online this week and sell what you catch to the butcher for 5X RDO$. The Fishing Challenge Free Roam event also rewards competitive anglers with 5X RDO$ and XP until May 4,” the post read.
The fun doesn’t stop there, with many more free items and improved rewards for players who log in and play the game. Although some are now inaccessible given how close we are to the end of the event, you can still get 3X RDO$, Gold and XP on Call to Arms, as well as 3X RDO$, XP and Role XP on all trader sales.
At the same time, completing five Trader Sales rewards players with the Fortune Loop and completing all of your daily Trader Challenges grants access to the Tennessee Walker Camp Flag. Although it’s a bit late to start the process now, if you’re in the process of doing so, you can also get the Burdall Hat to reach rank 20 as a trader.
The Danube and Tasman outfits, the Charro jacket, the Chambliss corset and the Fernwater coat are also all available in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. catalog, and this is your last chance to participate in the Hardcore Saint Denis series, which ends at the same time as the event.
Red Dead Redemption 3 is still a long way off, if we ever get there, but the second game remains a wonderful canvas for Rockstar to incorporate new experiences into. Combine that with the remarkable efforts of modders around the world, and it should give us a lot more fun for years to come.
