Need even more reasons to get into the Halloween spirit? How about loading up Red Dead Online and seeing what’s brewing for the non-stop gaming goals and craziness? Say less.

It’s all about embracing all October has to offer - especially with this being the scariest month of the year, right? Rockstar Games is loaded up with fire for the next 20-something days.

There’s talk of dark forces descending upon the frontier. All Hallow’s Eve approaches and with it comes opportunities to earn bonuses for keeping nefarious entities at bay. Defend local townsfolk from waves of assailants in All Hallow’s Call to Arms, with new maps arriving later this month, and earn rare, cursed items with The Halloween Pass 2.

Meanwhile, Madame Nazar requires the help of skilled Collectors to unearth hidden heirlooms and valuables, paying extra to those brave enough to traverse the frontier in these strange times. Once you’ve tracked her down, browse the selection of returning Halloween Masks — available at 25% off — before they’re gone.

Collectors can begin their quests by traveling to Madame Nazar’s storefront to acquire the Collector’s Bag (5 Gold Bars off). Turn in Collector Sets for bonus pay through November 6.

Bonuses on Special Halloween Modes

Fight off bloodthirsty visitors trying to take over freeholds like Armadillo and Shady Belle and defend the locals in All Hallow’s Call to Arms, paying out Double Rewards during this month’s event period. Those who survive through the final wave of any Call to Arms map this month will receive an Offer for 30% off select Horses to assist with the travels befitting a seasoned Collector.

On October 17, three new All Hallow’s Call to Arms locations will emerge, needing your help to fight off waves of spooky enemies. Also on October 17, three new Dead of Night maps make their way to the Old West. Dispatch The Dead and wipe out other players to top the leaderboard.

As far as other paranormal occurrences are concerned, help Ike Skelding investigate rumblings of cult activities in the Hardcore Telegram MissionFalse Hopes & Prophecy, available through November 6.

The Halloween Pass 2 Returns
