Thanksgiving is coming to the frontier, complete with some exciting bonuses, discounts, clothes and A Tough Business mode that pays out 50 per cent more than usual.
Red Dead Online players are getting a bunch of new activities, including A Tough Business mode that increases the Telegram Missions' difficulty by removing enemy blips from the radar and doing away with aim assist. Those who manage to walk away from A Tough Bussines will do so with an extra 50 per cent RDO$ for helping "J".
