Free Roam
Free Roam brings the open-world experience to
multiplayer for up-to-16 players, with the opportunity to form posses
of up-to-8 to take on the world's gang hideouts, ambient challenges -
and each other. Free Roam also gives players a living, breathing world
instead of a generic game lobby - with the freedom to roam the open
expanse, hunting or creating shootouts before heading into competitive
game modes - and leveling up with every major action. With each level
come new avatars, outfits, mounts, playlists and challenges.
Sometimes
it takes a posse to take on a gang. Form posses with friends to take on
gang hideouts and ambient challenges within Free Roam, or have your
posse leader bring you into competitive matches at any time. Posses can
hear each other talk via voice chat, no matter how far apart they may
be.
Just
like in the single-player experience, some areas of the multiplayer
world are overrun by bandits. Gather up your posse or any other players
in Free Roam, ride out to find the hideouts and take those scurrilous
bandits down.
Are
you a hunter, a survivalist, or a shootist? The entire multiplayer
world is filled with ambient challenges. Whether alone, with other Free
Roam players or with your posse, discover unmarked hunting areas to take
down waves of deadly predators, track down rare fauna in Survivalist
Challenges, or earn yourself the title of Public Enemy by marauding
towns and taking on Law Enforcement.
Competitive Modes
Red Dead Redemption's competitive multiplayer
serves up classic multiplayer match modes with a distinctly Western
twist: every match starts with players eye-to-eye in a classic showdown.
Experience team-based Gang matches, Free-For-All Shootouts and classic
Capture The Bag modes in specially designed locations within Red Dead
Redemption's vast and beautifully detailed open world.
Similar
to the ambient challenges in Free Roam mode, the Competitive
Multiplayer modes also offer challenges that will unlock experience
points and other perks. Weapon-based challenges for getting a certain
number of kills or headshots with a specific gun will earn you the
golden version of that weapon and additional challenges will reward you
with XP and a custom title for your gunslinger.
- Deathmatch, Western style. It's you versus everyone else - try not to die. Keep an eye out for better weapons scattered across the area and use Dead Eye pickups to refill your Dead Eye meter, helping you take down enemies quickly.
- Your priority is to grab as many bags of gold as you can find, and take them to the nearest chests - killing comes second. You can grab up to two bags of gold at once, but all that weight will slow you down.
- Team Deathmatch on the frontier. Work with your team to pin down enemies and rack up kill streaks.
- Infiltration and theft. Each team has a base and a bag. Steal the other team's bag and bring it to your base. In larger areas, strategic use of horses and ballistic weapons placements will keep opponents on their toes.
- One bag, one chest, two teams. Stake your ground, and defend the chest until a bag appears. Once it arrives, grab it and take it to your base to score.
