Red Dead Online Brings Back Zombies And More Weird Creatures

Not long after I penned an emotional plea about Red Dead Online being abandoned in the scorching wilderness, it seems as if Rockstar may have caught wind of my distress – or perhaps they simply read my wireless message. In any case, what do you know? A fresh content update appeared, seemingly out of thin air, and it’s not just visually appealing…it’s strikingly so. Grab your reins, cowboys and cowgirls, because this latest addition has a touch of the peculiar about it.

Strange Tales Of The West – Undead, Robots, And Cults

The recent update presents Strange Tales of the West, a fresh set of spine-tingling Telegram Adventures born from the nightmarish imagination of author Theodore Levin. He’s gathering an assortment of the oddest yarns from the uncharted territories, and who do you think he requires to authenticate these outlandish stories? You got it: you, the solitary traveler with nothing left to lose but enough ammunition to keep things intriguing.

1. You can find these missions at any Post Office or your camp’s Lockbox.
2. Open the letter and check your satchel to get ready for an exciting adventure into the unknown.
3. The spooky atmosphere of a supernatural Wild West setting should draw you back, but if not, here’s another reason: there’s 3X Gold, RDO$, and XP on all Telegram Missions through August 4th – including the new Strange Tales set.
4. Here’s what awaits you:

Enjoy your journey!

Strange Tales of the Plague

In this scenario, an armadillo has transformed into a classic zombie-like creature, as depicted by George A. Romero in his films. The town is infested with these decaying, lumbering creatures, and your mission involves capturing some for scientific study. However, beware, as you might end up joining their ranks or meet an untimely end at the hands of the cultists lurking in the shadows.

Strange Tales of Modern Science

Imagining a twist on the classic tale, let’s explore what could happen if Frankenstein unfolded at Braithwaite Manor instead. Here, an inventor boasts about creating a creature with mechanical components and human characteristics. However, this artificial being seems to have developed a disdain for humankind. Your objective: unravel the enigma behind this mechanical man and, if necessary, deactivate him.

Strange Tales of the Bayou

If you’ve ever found yourself in Lagras with a feeling that all is not well, good for you – your instincts were spot on! The locals are uneasy, and tales of a monstrous entity lurking in the swamp abound. Your task: venture forth, dodge traps, and retrieve whatever is behind those eerie midnight cries.

Strange Tales of the Wilderness

A scientist is currently unaccounted for as he delved into investigating a ruthless band of wilderness killers. Given his line of work, it’s no surprise that he finds himself lost in Tall Trees, attempting to find him, endure the harsh environment, and hopefully avoid becoming their next victim. The setting recalls Deliverance, but with an added danger of encounters with wolves.

Featured Series And Freebies – Fashion, Firefights, And Frontier Drip

This month’s highlighted series are really amping things up with double rewards in RDO$ and experience points, rotating through intense Hardcore modes such as Pro Series, Elimination, Showdown, Plunder, Spoils of War, and Last Stand variations. Logging into Red Dead Online this month grants you the Rebellion Poncho, and for those who are Naturalists, there are some special perks like 50 Tranquilizer Rounds, a treasure map, and a selection of returning rewards. By completing wildlife photography tasks, hunting Legendary animals, or selling samples to Harriet, you can unlock a range of limited-time clothing items, including the Estevez Gun Belt and Holster for those who prefer a more action-packed fieldwork style.

Is this update bringing about a fresh take on Red Dead Online rather than its long-awaited rejuvenation? Indeed, it’s something novel, even peculiar, but it’s progress in the right direction. If you’ve been yearning to polish your boots and journey back to the frontier once more – now is the perfect opportunity.
