- We've stockpiled a collection of exclusive cheats that will only be accessible by Social Club members who complete a series of special Social Club Challenges. The first of which, available at game launch on May 18th, will be the Pike's Basin Challenge. To unlock this challenge, Social Club members must beat the "Justice in Pike's Basin" mission early in the game and complete the "Pike's Basin" gang hideout by helping rancher Errol Hewitt defeat a gang of ruthless cattle rustlers. Social Club members can then take on the Pike's Basin Challenge - face off against the rustlers and:
- Kill 3 enemies in one Dead Eye burst
- Drag a gang member through the basin (by lassoing him on horseback)
- Kill all enemies while on horseback
- Completion will post your best time and medals attained to a special Social Club Challenges leaderboard - and garner you the exclusive "Guns Blazing" cheat (ability to shoot bullets that could set your enemies on fire). Stay tuned for many more Social Club Challenges to be revealed at the Social Club after game release.

- The Red Dead Redemption Rockstar XP Challenge has officially been met. We asked you guys to go hard in multiplayer and hit the 100% threshold to unlock avatar awards and you answered in astounding fashion. In just 18 days, the community racked up a total of over 6 billion XP. PSN members were the first to hit that 100% mark about a day-and-a-half ahead of XBL players, and because of your collective efforts everyone in the Red Dead Redemption community has earned a set of new Red Dead Redemption avatar items. Now you can bless your Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 avatar with some signature John Marston style - maybe the hat and gloves for formal events and the Crimson Posse shirt for casual Fridays? Kudos all and enjoy. For images of the unlocked avatars, visit http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/xpchallenge.
