Rockstar Releases More Information on Bounty Hunter, Trader, and Collector Roles in Red Dead Online

Red Dead Redemption 2's online mode has not been as popular as the single-player campaign. But slowly, Rockstar is turning it around. Detailing what players can expect from the specialist roles coming soon.

Each specialist will have exclusive unlocks, abilities, and cosmetics linked to a specific progression tree.

In their announcement post, Rockstar provided a brief overview of what each specialist will be able to do.

Become a Bounty Hunter for a life of constant action on both sides of the law. A licensed Bounty Hunter can track down targets and capture – or kill, depending on how honorable you are in your pursuits. Occasionally, a nearby player with a high enough bounty can also be a designated target. Progression will unlock special items like a reinforced lasso for extra-tough targets, as well as intricate gun-spinning tricks and advanced tracking skills like the ability to use Eagle-Eye while sprinting, galloping on horseback and many other special skills, items and upgrades.

The Bounty Hunter looks to be combat-oriented. Being able to use Eagle-Eye while sprinting or on horseback.

The life of a Trader is perfect for burgeoning capitalists as you establish and develop a business from your Camp. Thanks to your trusty companion Cripps’ knowledge of furs, skins and butchery, you’ll be able to take on new opportunities to collect materials and produce valuable goods to sell. Increasing your skill as a Trader unlocks the ability to upgrade your Camp with a Weapons Locker, Stew Pot and even allow any canine companion to warn of impending attacks on the camp. As your business expands, you can gain new skills, improve your satchel or add new assets to your business-like hunting wagons to bring in bigger hauls and much more.

A Trader will have the ability to gather more resources and provide more ways to store weapons and food. You also get a dog.

A Collector loves to explore the world for rare and valuable items. Look for a mystic travelling saleswoman in the wild to  get started down the Collector’s path, searching for lost jewelry, rare arrowheads and other treasures to sell as individual pieces or highly valuable sets. As you progress, you will gain access to tools that help your search including Refined Binoculars, a Horse Lantern and even a Metal Detector, as well as gaining additional skills to help you seek and discover the world’s greatest rarities.

Red Dead Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 are now available for PS4 and Xbox One.
