Red Dead Online - How To Make And Move Camps
By Jason Fanelli ·
Red Dead Online offers a lot of different places to camp, but moving from one place to another can be confusing. Here's how you do it.
Red Dead Online is in beta for some lucky players and coming soon for all us buckaroos who want to live in the Wild West, and with the new way to play Red Dead Redemption II comes a lot of questions. For one, how will camping work in Red Dead Online since the camps in the main story are pretty cut and dry? This quick guide should give you all the guidance you need to ensure you have a place to rest for the night.
At first glance the camps of Red Dead Online work just like the camps in Red Dead Redemption II. There are two main types: Player Camps for single folks and Posse Camps for bigger groups. They’re mainly for recovering health via resting (which is great considering letting health regenerate normally takes forever), crafting items like tonic and ammo to take with you out on the frontier, and taking a quick breather from all of the madness in the prairie. The basic functions will not change, so a lot of what you were doing in the main storyline should carry over nicely.
Where the camps of Red Dead Online distinguish themselves is their portability. That’s right, you can move your camp virtually anywhere in the virtual world once the opening missions of Red Dead Online are completed. Wooded areas, hidden valleys, snowy peaks, wherever you’re most comfortable creating your homestead, you can do it.
To move your camp to a new location, all you have to do is finish the tutorial and the first mission, then once you find a new place to call home, select the Kit in the Weapon Wheel, pay the small fee, and you have yourself a brand new home.
Once the camp is taken care of, the real fun begins.However, if you can’t even get this far without Red Dead Online messing up, check out our how-to on getting RDO up and running for you. While you’re doing that, check out this RDO moment destined for the blooper reel.
