Update: Rockstar has released new details for Read Dead Online’s update on February 26, which include new Free Roam Events, Showdown Modes, Races, and its first batch of new weapons, clothing, and emotes.
Fool’s Gold will be added to the Free Roam Events, which will let players compete for a protective suit of Golden Armor. Whoever takes down the player wearing the armor will earn points and will then be the wearer of the Golden Armor.
Three new Showdown Modes will be in the update, that involve stealing loot from one another for survival and capturing and delivering bags.
A new race will be added where players get to shoot at targets while on horseback while getting to checkpoints on a track, and new Fishing Challenges will come with the update, which will give you the equipment you need to complete each fishing challenge, such as rods, lures and proper bait for the challenges.
