ANNOUNCEMENTS RED DEAD ONLINE CONTENT UPDATES RED DEAD ONLINE BETA: SPOILS OF WAR OUT NOW NEW SHOWDOWN MODE PLUS LIMITED TIME CLOTHING ADDED TO THE CATALOGUE

[JustHatched 12,123]

As we continue to add to and evolve the Red Dead Online Beta, we will keep expanding on and improving our Showdown Series. These player vs. player modes are tight, dramatic competitive matches that allow for quick structured gameplay sessions as well as being a great way to complete combat-based Daily Challenges. This week's new addition to the Series is Spoils of War - a frontier take on capture-style multiplayer. You can launch this new mode using the Featured Series tile in the Red Dead Online Beta launch menu, via the Quick Join option in the Player Menu or by navigating to the Featured Series signpost on the map.

In Spoils of War, 2-16 players compete in this team-based mode to defend their stockpile and raid each other’s. Each team must steal loot from their opponent's base and return it to theirs, while defending their own stash. Whichever team steals the most by the end of the match wins. You can take on this new Showdown mode across a variety of locations including Fort Mercer and Valentine.

As added benefits this week, you’ll get a 20% XP boost on all Showdown Modes and winning one Spoils of War match will earn you an extra bonus of 8x Dynamite Arrows that you can retrieve from the Post Office or your Camp Lockbox.

The Tasman Outfit

In its quest to offer the very latest and best in frontier supplies, the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Cataloguewill be updated regularly as goods come and go. As you browse the Catalogue from week to week, select clothing from inbound shipments will be marked Coming Soon. When available, these same items will be marked as Limited Stock. If you see any items marked as Out of Stock, be sure to check back in future weeks as these items are sure to return again.

Starting today, sellers have received their first shipments of rare clothing that will only be available for a limited time. This week, look for a pair of new outfits as well as a few other garments and accessories:

• The Tasman Outfit (Male only)
• The Danube Outfit (Female only)
• Tied Pants
• Hitched Skirt (Female only)
• Winter Shotgun Coat
• Gardenia Hat
• Squat Stovepipe Top Hat

As we progress through the Beta we will work to improve Catalogue functionality and organization, while adding new items with unique flair that will regularly rotate through the shops.

We’ve also made a few updates to the official Red Dead Online Beta Feedback website, where you can now leave us your thoughts on Spoils of War as well as general feedback on Controls via this page. As always, your feedback is appreciated and vital to helping us tune the Red Dead Online Beta as it grows and progresses.

So the game has a "capture" mode now? That could actually be fun. They need to hurry up and give us the ability to better play as a crew.

It's basically Hold Your Own from the first one just with twice the players. I like it though some of the maps are a little cramped and spawn points could be further away. But definitely a good basic mode.
