Rockstar's big update for Red Dead Online is now live on PlayStation 4. The headline act here is an all-new Frontier Pursuit -- or job -- that players can adopt. The Naturalist is all about tracking down and either hunting or studying wild animals, which adds to a newly implemented 'Animal Field Guide'. It all sounds rather in-depth (and possibly very time consuming).
Adding to this is the introduction of legendary animals. As The Naturalist, you'll eventually be able to seek these beasts out and catalogue their existence.
The update also brings a number of improvements to Red Dead Online. The official blog post reads: "Today's update also brings over 250 fixes, balancing adjustments, and general improvements to Red Dead Online. These include solutions to address camp and animal spawn issues, improvements to matchmaking and team sorting methods for Showdown lobbies, and more." New open world events have been added as well.

I’ll be happy to jump back into this.
I haven't played it myself for a long time I could never join shoot outs I just got a black loading screen but my oldest son loves it and plays it most days and I know he has been waiting for this update.
Cripps, get my rifle, imma goin' huntin'.
Gonna catch me legendary prairie dog
You mean they’ve finally fixed disappearing camps? About bloody time too! I’m gonna have to dive back in when I get time.
I'd love to get back online but for now still having loads of surprises in SP. Found 2 new strangers in the swamp that don't appear on the map as (?). And can't believe it's only on my 3rd playthrough I'm finding these different types of orchids and birds trying to do that rare collector in St. Denis' mission. The clothing in this game are the most detailed in any game ever...period, plus the Trapper's crafted ones are on some extra detail.
I have a bit of a backlog to clear but im very tempted to give this a tickle first
How about you finally give us a RDR1 remake on RDR2 engine? That would be swell.
@gollumb82 I'd just be happy with a straight up port of the first game on Switch. But yeah, RDR1 in the second games engine would be great. Wish they'd done single player DLC too. Saidie's story, or John's story between 2 and 1. Still, excited for RDR3 eventually haha.
Being able to make a campfire anywhere and finally being able to mercy kill wounded animals is very much welcome.
@Alex79uk
Sadie's DLC sounds rad. I'd buy that. As for RDR3 we're looking at very looooooong wait (if GTA6 is any indication). However, I'm fine with waiting so long as RDR3 is at least half as good as RDR2 is.
@gollumb82 Haha yeah, I don't anticipate RDR3 before I'm 50!! (So 9 years away...)
Do you need a pass for online or is it free with the base game?
