The Naturalist event kicked off in Red Dead Redemption 2 last week, and there are big rewards available for players who participate in the next few days. Similar to previous events, you can earn a lot more XP and money by completing certain missions and activities while exploring the open world.
Although it hasn’t been as massively popular as Grand Theft Auto V‘s online mode, Red Dead Redemption 2‘s online world has still attracted a large and dedicated player base for the past seven years, largely due to Rockstar Games’ ongoing support. Over that time, the game has received significant updates, most notably the addition of Roles, which give players better rewards for completing specific missions and activities. These updates have also been consistently paired with seasonal events that offer discounts on items, free cosmetic gear, and extra experience points.
Red Dead Redemption 2’s Naturalist Event Offers Some Big Rewards
Even though Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t getting any big updates anymore, Rockstar continues to host events within the game. The current event, called the Naturalist event, started on May 5th and lasts until June 1st. Players can help Harriet Davenport identify rare animals, or assist Gus Macmillan in hunting them. Participating in any Wildlife Photographer or Wild Animal Kills Challenge free roam event throughout the month will earn you four times the usual amount of Red Dead Online cash and XP. Completing just one Wildlife Photographer mission will also unlock the blue Guerra Poncho for your character.
