Rockstar Games is continuing to expand the Red Dead Online Beta with the addition of Showdown and Racing next month. Now the developer has spoken about plans for the second half of the spring quarter.
First of all, Rockstar Games talked about the hostile action system, which tracks the degree of hostility of the player. After the measures taken in February to counter aggressive behavior, the developer came to a smarter and more responsive PvP mechanics. βA player who takes damage from an attacking player will be able to fend for themselves while avoiding a bounty and hostility increase. Previously, both the attacker and his target were marked as enemies - now only the attacking player will be immediately marked as an enemy; players will not accumulate an increase in hostility for killing other players marked as enemies, βRockstar Games gave an example.
The Hostile Action system will not work in Adversary, Race, or Co-Op modes. Participation in activities related to the tasks of the open mode will not affect the level of hostility. However, if you attack players who are not participating in this activity, then your level of hostility will increase.
Rockstar Games also paid attention to the aggressive and defensive styles of the game. Many gamers just want to hunt, fish and peacefully go about their business, and the developer wants to give this opportunity in a way that minimizes their interaction with other users. Aggressive style almost corresponds to the style of free mode. And the defensive style is a modified version of the passive mode, which will not let you offend. For example, a hostile player will not be able to throw a lasso at you. In turn, if one of the two users with a defensive style attacks the other, then the function will be immediately disabled, and the player will receive a significant increase in the level of hostility.
In addition, new quests from the "Land of Opportunity" category will appear in Red Dead Online; new characters that give out free roam quests; new types of tasks with familiar characters of the story mode; dynamic events; new features in the character editor; Changed structure of daily challenges with increased reward for a series of victories; Le Ma's revolver from the first Red Dead Redemption; and much more.
Red Dead Online is available for free to owners of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
