If you want to play specialist roles or get certain items in Red Dead Online, you will need to farm gold.
How to Get Gold Fast in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online
There are several ways for a player to get gold in Red Dead Online; however, be warned that you are in for a heck of a grind. But overall, if you're a regular player, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a steady stream of gold if you follow the methods we've listed below.
Complete missions (story and stranger)
In the vast open world of RDR2 Online, countless missions await the player; doing these missions will reward you with regular starting income. For this reason, we recommend playing through the entire story campaign and completing unknown missions as you explore the open world of RDR2 Online.
Find treasure maps
Just like the story mode, RDR2 Online also features various treasure maps that you can find and earn as rewards every time you level up. These cards are also an excellent source of gold in addition to other farming methods. In short, when you get one of these maps, they will take you to a highlighted location where you need to search for a chest; if you find the chest and open it, you will usually earn cash and gold.
Complete your daily goals
Every day, Red Dead Online will update a list of challenges that players can complete to earn a small amount of gold. Challenges are relatively easy and usually involve you doing anything from hunting animals, gathering herbs, or killing players in a particular way.
That said, completing these challenges every time you log in or between missions is a surefire way to keep the gold flowing. Along with that, if you keep completing them, you will start earning bonuses from the seventh to the twenty-eighth day after completing them. If that's okay with you, you can find all of the daily challenges in the game's multiplayer menu.

Farm Bounty Hunter Missions
The next best way for you to get gold in Red Dead Online is to farm the various Bounty Hunter missions in the game. However, like many things in this game, these missions tend to be a difficult affair. You will also need to spend 15 gold bars before you can even complete these missions.
Along with that, it will take some time before you see a return on your initial investment, as regular missions only give you a small amount at the end. For this reason, we recommend trying your luck with Legendary Bounties, as you'll get a more generous amount that will increase the more you do them.
Buy gold bars
The last option is the easy route, which is to simply buy the bars for your platform store or the Rockstar store. You can also find the option to buy gold bars in the game menu. Along with this, we will have all the options to buy gold bars listed below.
- 25 gold bars: $9,99
- 55 gold bars: $19,99
- 150 gold bars: $49,99
- 245 gold bars: $74,99
- 350 gold bars: $99,99
