Red Dead Redemption 2 free download available for next 48 hours

Rockstar has a new freebie for Red Dead Redemption 2 players who play the online portion for the next few days.

In case you missed it, Rockstar Games launched Strange Tales of the West Vol. 1 in Red Dead Online. It’s a small expansion which adds supernatural enemies and missions to the game, and it’s pretty badass.

It's not quite the Undead Nightmare expansion we were hoping for, mind you. But still, at least it's something.

The update has new telegram missions which allow you to take on the undead, with several of these new missions pitting you against zombies, vampires, robots, and more.

As is usually the case with Red Dead Redemption 2 updates, Rockstar has also released some new challenges for players to beat, with big rewards for those who do.

This week, players can receive the blue Porter Jacket by hunting a Legendary Bear. But only if you manage to do it before 21st July.

Unfortunately, players who miss out will have to wait for it to roll around again, as from 22nd July a new challenge will appear in its place.

The new one requires you to complete three Role Challenges and receive the red Concho Pants.

Meanwhile, players can also receive triple gold, Red Dead Online dollars, and experience points on telegram missions this month.

There’s also triple dollars and XP on Sample Sales, as well as double dollars and XP on Featured Series.

If you’re a little behind on money or experience, it might be a good chance for you to start ranking up some more.
