Online Resources



Below, you will find a curated list of online resources to make the grind easier for your online cowboy or cowgirl persona.

Jean Ropke Collectors Map

 * Often imitated - never duplicated. Hands down the single most useful online resource EVER. You can track your collected items, see every location for the current cycle, mark items you need and auto-plot a route to them, create you own custom route, enable/disable specific items, mark items as important, see where Madam Nazar is, see what the next Free Roam or Role event will be and when it will start, see where Legendary Animals spawn and the ideal conditions needed to encounter them and SO MUCH MORE. It works great on mobile devices as well!

Jean Ropke RDO Map

 * The "other half" of thr Collector's Map and just as useful! This map has everything that is missing from the Collector's Map, such as : Gabg Hideout locations, Random Encounter locations, boat spawns, plant locations, vendor locations, places your camp can be pitched, bounty target locations, treasure map search areas, Daily Challenge locations, animal spawn heat maps and MORE!

Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue

 * The quickest and easiset way to stock up on the essentials! Use the online version of the catalogue to buy items in bulk (up to a quantity of 99 for each item) and they will instantly be delivered to your lockbox at camp or post office. By using the online catalogue, you can not only avoid the "Processing Transaction...." glitch that plagues players shopping in-game but also buy items in greater quantities that are not available anywhere else. That means you'll have to go shopping for the essentials (ammo, gun oil, tonics, food items, etc.) much less often.

Red Dead Online Event Schedule

 * If you have ever wondered what time your favorite event starts, here is your answer! Full timetables listing both public Free Roam Events as well as Free Roam Role Events. Make sure you are prepared to accept the invite and participate in the event a few minutes early!

R* Newswire

 * Once upon a time, we would check the Newswire religiously for what dripfeed content would be served each week and for any sign of an update. Sadly, this is no longer the case. Still, the newswire can be a good way of seeing what bonuses are currently being offered for participating in and completing specific content.

RDR2 Map by MapGenie

 * While not as all encompassing as the Jean Ropke maps, thus map does have a couple of features that make it worth mentioning. For one, it is also an app that can be installed that has been developed by the same person that runs the Map Genie website. The Collector's map does have an app but it is developed by a third-party and is rife with annoying ads! Ads shown in this map are minimally intrusive (a small banner ad at the bottom of the screen) and that do not interrupt you using it. In addition, for a reasonable one-time fee of $6.99 USD, you can purchase the Pro version. This removes all ads and also grants the ability to create and save an infinite number of personal "Notes" in the form of map pins. Each note has a place for you to enter a description and you can select from one of six pin colors. These pins are shareable and are able to be viewed by anyne, whether they have an account or not!

I hope these enrich your gameplay as much as they have mine!
