Varying mission awards when playing the same mission in Red Dead Online

Last Updated: April 29, 2024

Question: Why did the mission I completed in Red Dead Online give me less than my friend who completed it?

Answer: The rewards associated with missions in Red Dead Online vary based on a number of factors. Depending on the mission type, missions will have an objective to complete and reward upon successful completion.

Story Missions will reward the player differently depending on the rank of completion (Bronze, Silver, or Gold) as well as mission contribution by the player. 

Stranger Missions depend on both the player and the Stranger, meaning rewards will vary by encounter.
