Red Dead Redemption 2 free 'story' DLC available for 24 hours

You can claim free DLC courtesy of the latest Red Dead Online event but you have less than 24 hours to make it yours.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of the last generation when it was first released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018 before making its way to PC the following year. Some could even argue that the Rockstar Games (pre)sequel is better than most games of this generation.

Check out the Red Dead Online trailer below!

“Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are outlaws on the run. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive,” reads the synopsis of Red Dead Redemption 2.

After you're done with the epic single-player campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2, it will be time to jump into its multiplayer offering, Red Dead Online.

Red Dead Online shares the same map as its single-player counterpart but obviously, as the name of the game suggests, it brings the online multiplayer shenanigans by the bucketload.

Each month, Rockstar Games releases the next event for Red Dead Online which grants those who participate free DLC, bonus XP and in-game currency, simply by playing the game.

The latest ‘Moonshiners Bonuses’ event began earlier this week and by logging into the game from now until 31 March 2025, you will be gifted with a white and brown Leavitt Jacket with Moonshine traders also receiving the Dawn Elk and Naturalist Photographs.

Speaking of Moonshine traders, those who reach rank 15 will be able to claim the Wet Your Whistle emote and when completing a sale, you’ll earn an additional Coin Bite emote.

However, if you complete the ‘Blood is Thicker than Shine’ Moonshiner story mission in Red Dead Online by 10 March, you’ll be rewarded with the blue Salter Shoes. But be quick, because after that date, you will not be able to claim this in-game attire.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online (bundled with the base game) are out now.
