Red Dead Online beta update 1
Rockstar Games announced the first update for the Red Dead Online Beta today. This update is the first set of adjustments to the game based on player feedback. Yes, this means a more balanced game economy is part of this update.
• Increasing the cash and gold payments across a number of different activities including Free Roam Missions, Free Roam Events, replays of A Land of Opportunities Missions, Showdown Series modes and more.

• Reducing the prices of most weapons in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue and Gunsmiths. For players that have already purchased weapons at the previous prices, we will automatically deposit the difference to player balances starting today - please look for an alert message the next time you log in to the Red Dead Online Beta to notify you of this change, refunds may take up until Monday, December 10th to reach all eligible players.

• Balancing the values of select pelts, skins and fish as well as horse reviver and pamphlets.

Of course our efforts to improve and balance the Red Dead Online Beta will continue. We are conscious of and still evaluating an assortment of further adjustments based on feedback from the community. We are currently working on fixes for some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions, and we aim to have fixes for these live next week. We will also continue to review all the feedback and suggestions so please keep them coming to reddeadonline.com/feedback.

That is just part of the good news in today's update. Rockstar is also going to give every single Red Dead Online player $250 of in-game currency and 15 Gold Bars. In order to be eligible, you need to have played at any point from the release of the beta until midnight (PST) tonight. If you haven't played the beta yet, you really should fire it up in the next few hours to get the freebies. The gifts should start arriving today and will get to everyone by December 14.
