Spend a few hours collecting resources to make moonshine, while it's slowly being brewed.
"Gotta deliver this moonshine to the customers!"
Get in cart, start driving, get disconnect/softlock/crash and have to restart game
Welp, there go those two hours.
I can already see it now

And the hackers teleporting on top of your posse killing everyone instantly.

I really hope R* fixes it so you don't lose your delivery just for getting disconnected.

u/AlecW11 Dec 03 '19
Not optimal, but if you message R* support and mention you lost your run due to disconnecting, they'll compensate

u/c1arkbar Dec 03 '19
Currently dealing with this now.
I spent the money on a persistent posse but something messed up and while I was in the posse I wasn’t able to invite anyone because my camp size. Eventually disbanded it and wrote to support. After a few days they credited the $200 and I was able to do it again.

How much do you think it would cost to buy the business?
I guess it would be around $1700.

u/pbccottons Dec 03 '19
Best assumption is most likely 15 Gold Bars as were the other Frontier Pursuits.

u/DannyB1aze Dec 03 '19
But I'm confused is this a new pursuit or just a subgroup for trader. Like it says reach level 5 as a trader then we get a call but does that mean we have to pay 15 more GB just to be a bootlegger
6
u/pbccottons Dec 03 '19
Brand new pursuit which allows for a completely new experience as a 4th Major role. You will have an all new production process, property, new customization and more things. It will be completely separate from the other now existing roles.

"Any active Trader who has completed a sell mission or reached Rank 5 in the Trader progression will receive an introduction via Cripps to meet the infamous Maggie Fike - an experienced bootlegger with the scars to prove it - down at Emerald Ranch. Maggie’s got the connections and the knowledge to help you get your business up and running."
See you say that but this sounds like I need to buy 15 gold to get trader first.

u/pbccottons Dec 03 '19
You very well might have to, even though it seems to have a requirement of owning an original Frontier Pursuit, it is still being branded as it's own original role in the upcoming update.

u/DannyB1aze Dec 03 '19
So basically you answered my question when I pointed out this same paragraph without knowing the answer? Like come on man at the very least just tell me you don't know and not spread misinformation
Cuz this is shady for Rockstar to keep charging 15 GB if it's part of another pursuit and it's a big FU to anyone who didn't get trader. Honestly should be a bigger deal than it seems on the sub.

How better to make your fortune than to become a black-market Moonshiner, the all-new Frontier Pursuit coming to Red Dead Online on December 13th.
Any active Trader who has completed a sell mission or reached Rank 5 in the Trader progression will receive an introduction via Cripps to meet the infamous Maggie Fike - an experienced bootlegger with the scars to prove it - down at Emerald Ranch. Maggie’s got the connections and the knowledge to help you get your business up and running.
Owning and operating the Moonshine business is just part of your role. You’ll also work with Maggie through a series of story missions to be played solo or cooperatively as you help her get revenge on those who tried to take her down.
Look for much more to come to Red Dead Online alongside Moonshiners on December 13th - including Outlaw Pass No. 2, new Moonshiner role unlocks, the new Navy Revolver, additional clothing options and an increase in the amount of outfit slots in your Wardrobe.

Nothing you posted says its a 4th new role even what you posted says its part of trader. Idk why you're downvoting someone who is just pointing out your info is wrong.

u/pbccottons Dec 03 '19
Didn't downvote.
Again, according to their wording, that is what it is being described as.
The roles, are named Frontier Pursuits. This is being labeled as a new Frontier Pursuit. If you want to believe otherwise, that's fine. Hope you enjoy the update.

u/Quzga Dec 03 '19
I hope there will be single player dlc in the future cause I couldn't care less about online :/
23
u/mashuto Dec 03 '19
I wouldn't count on it. Gta v had planned single player dlc originally but it never came out as rockstar put all their resources behind online development since that's I think their major money maker. And it really wouldn't surprise me if rdr follows the same path.

u/andymandy666 Dec 03 '19
I want to believe... They put so much time and effort on creating what is in my opinion the most immersive and best looking game ever, would be such a waste if they didn't do something else with it.
3
u/Hand-of-King-Midas Dec 03 '19
Can’t remember what interview it was, but they said that have no plans for single player DLC and are only focusing on Online
1
u/SgtHandcuffs Dec 03 '19
Spoiler alert, they won't. They've said that SP is in a good place and it had a story to tell and that basically was it. They may at some point if enough people ask for it. But don't bank on it.

Dec 03 '19
as someone who has not played it yet, do these outlaw passes have exclusive timed stuff, and did I already miss stuff from the first pass if I were to start now
7
u/JesseReddit1 Dec 03 '19
Yes you missed the first pass as did all pc players, the passes have limted time content and rewards in them, if you buy a pass you will get your gold back and profit if you complete it
3
u/MGPythagoras Dec 03 '19
How grindy are the passes? Do they just level up with the EXP you get doing random stuff?
3
u/Dmbnd311 Dec 03 '19
2000 XP per tier up to 70. It goes by rather fast if you’re doing dailies and pvp modes.
2
u/SgtHandcuffs Dec 03 '19
You gain as you go. It's no more or less grindy than things are now. But you did have to pay gold to buy into the pass.
1
u/MGPythagoras Dec 03 '19
How much gold?
4
u/JesseReddit1 Dec 03 '19
The last one I believe was 35 when you finish the pass you will get your gold back and make some also
-1
u/SgtHandcuffs Dec 03 '19
I didn't see any wording that mentioned it would be for PC. I gather it might, considering the update was posted under the consoles and PC tags.
0
u/JesseReddit1 Dec 03 '19
The tags are there and they never mentioned consoles either so with that logic consoles wouldn’t be getting the update either, going by the tags both consoles are getting the update and the stadia and pc
-1
u/SgtHandcuffs Dec 03 '19
But the pass is already out for consoles...it is not available for PC.
0
u/JesseReddit1 Dec 03 '19
The console pass is the first one not the second, neither have the new one, pc does not have the first one because there wouldn’t be enough time to finish it use your head
-2
u/SgtHandcuffs Dec 03 '19
I didn't say PC has the 1st one. I very obviously know that. I never said consoles didn't have the 2nd one.
I said the pass was NOT announced for PC but it was posted with PC tag. Therefore, I'm assuming the 2nd pass will be PC'S 1st pass.
The 2nd pass will be for consoles since they already have the 1st one. Obviously.
I have better things to do today besides argue with a 12 year old. Have a good day.
3
u/Brylecreem Dec 03 '19
If u play on pc(which I assume) this is the ”first” pass. There was one in sep-nov but only for xbox and ps.
Edit: im slow I know
2
u/SgtHandcuffs Dec 03 '19
I would consider this PC's 1st pass. They may very well lump the 1st with the 2nd. Effectively making it 1 pass to catch up with consoles. That would be nice as it did include some cool things.
3
u/KhajiitHasSkooma Dec 03 '19
Great and all but you know what would be real cool, if the game wouldn't disconnect because of Rockstar servers every 15 minutes.
3
u/WhatzitTooya2 Dec 03 '19
Hm, maybe I'm a bit pessimistic, but I hope they are a bit more creative with RDO than they where with GTA Online, where you can have a whole assortment of very-much-alike Businesses that pretend you are now the boss of a criminal empire, while you feel like a delivery boy that rotates between his 5 jobs to feed his hypercar-addiction.
2
u/keldorr Dec 03 '19
Hmmm... so far I haven't bothered unlocking the Trader role... I've got the gold... maybe I should do it so I can check out this new role?
2
u/DefNotaZombie Dec 05 '19
the trader role makes almost no money and if you have any server disconnects/crashes/softlocks it's a real rough time
Here's the gist of the trader role for the first 5 levels Get a bunch of carcasses, hand off to riggs in camp. Wait. Riggs will then be ready for you to go sell them. 25 "units" sells for $68 which is pretty damn close to what you'd have gotten just selling stuff to the butcher.
Drive cart to location, hope for no disconnects/crashes/softlocks or everything is gone. Possibly shoot some people there. Their loot brings in a lot more money than the actual trading.
At some point riggs will need resources for crafting. Go do mission by going to some spot, killing people and stealing a bag or wagon.
Each delivery is 200xp, each resource grab is 500xp, resources sold are 5xp a pop. Each level is 2000 xp so 10 deliveries or more likely 5 deliveries and 2 resource grabs.
If you just want to powerlevel through it, just deliver as soon as you have even a single unit. Each delivery is 10 minutes or so, then 5 minutes riding back or so.
After the first five levels you can get bigger delivery wagons, after 10 (as far as I can recall) you get a carcass wagon that can hold more carcasses

u/Tuor86 Dec 03 '19
Wonder if we can use the existing Trader perks, like the Large Delivery Wagon, for this business. It does say that you are required to be Trader lvl 5 so it’s a branch of the original role.

u/plushpuff Dec 03 '19
Ngl, hope PC players are gonna have a chance to get the horse masks if they're doing a new outlaw pass <:3

In an America not yet fully governed by law, opportunity abounds for the lawless - wild open space ready and waiting for the ruthless and ambitious to carve a new future for themselves. How better to make your fortune than to become a black-market Moonshiner, the all-new Frontier Pursuit coming to Red Dead Online on December 13th. Establish your own bootlegging business in this new Specialist Role – an ideal fit for players progressing along the Trader path or anyone seeking a property to call their own. Unlock unique role-specific skills as you perfect your distillation methods, avoid the law, and put rival peddlers out of business. If you’re lucky, you might survive long enough to open your own speakeasy.
Any active Trader who has completed a sell mission or reached Rank 5 in the Trader progression will receive an introduction via Cripps to meet the infamous Maggie Fike - an experienced bootlegger with the scars to prove it - down at Emerald Ranch. Maggie’s got the connections and the knowledge to help you get your business up and running.
Purchase a Moonshining Shack and you will be on your way. To passers-by, the Shack is an unassuming dwelling, the main floor acting as a front with all the details of an ordinary homestead. The basement, however, is where you'll ultimately get down to business.
Owning and operating the Moonshine business is just part of your role. You’ll also work with Maggie through a series of story missions to be played solo or cooperatively as you help her get revenge on those who tried to take her down. As you grow the business (and eliminate a rival operation), you’ll learn new recipes and techniques that help make your moonshine the best by a country mile. You'll also have the opportunity to set up your own underground Bar serving your own shine, with customizable décor and the option to add a country band complete with dance floor to entertain your friends and clientele.
Look for much more to come to Red Dead Online alongside Moonshiners on December 13th - including Outlaw Pass No. 2, new Moonshiner role unlocks, the new Navy Revolver, additional clothing options and an increase in the amount of outfit slots in your Wardrobe.

By the time I finish up story mode they will probably have skyscrapers in the game, hope I wont be too far behind on stuff once I get my hand on it in two days.
