The Red Dead Online update for November 2026: the Trader event from November 3 to 30, 3X RDO$ and XP on Trader sales, 2X Materials for Perfect pelts, 10X on turkeys, Trade Route and the Hardcore Pro Series, the Pittman Outfit week by week, discounts, an event archive and how often Rockstar updates RDO.
What’s on now: the Trader event, November 3–30, 2026
The November Red Dead Online event is all about the Trader role and Thanksgiving. Rockstar announced it on November 3 in the article “Celebrate Thanksgiving with Bonuses for Traders in Red Dead Online” on Rockstar Newswire. The bonuses below run until November 30, 2026.
| What | Bonus | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Trader sales (Cripps’ goods deliveries) | 3X RDO$, XP and Role XP | all November |
| Perfect Carcasses, Pelts, Skins and Hides dropped off at Cripps’ table | 2X Trader Materials | until November 30 |
| Trade Route — a free roam event where you defend a train from bandits | 3X RDO$ and XP | four weeks |
| Turkeys sold to the Butcher | 10X RDO$ | all November |
| Hardcore Pro Series — the Featured Series of the month | 3X RDO$, Gold and XP | all November |
The core of this package is Trader. The multiplier covers both the sales and the raw material behind them: Perfect carcasses and pelts give twice the Materials, and the finished goods sell with triple pay and triple Role XP.
Turkeys stand apart from the role: 10X RDO$ is the biggest multiplier of the month. If you play for Gold, the Hardcore Pro Series pays 3X Gold.
Pittman Outfit: what you get each week
The Pittman Outfit is the main reward of November. Two pieces need no weekly challenge, the rest come from conditions that change every week. Each condition only counts within its own dates, so it pays to log in every week.
| When | What to do | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| any time in November | log in | Pittman Shirt |
| until November 30 | own the Trader role and play | Pittman Hat (tricorn) |
| November 3–9 | log in twice | Pittman Neckerchief |
| November 10–16 | rank up Trader 5 times or reach Trader Rank 10 | Pittman Pants |
| November 17–23 | complete a Role Challenge | Pittman Boots |
| November 24–30 | rank up Trader 5 times or reach Trader Rank 15 | Pittman Coat and the Prairie Moon Camp Flag |
| November 24–30, Thanksgiving week | reward of the week | Cordell Outfit and the Coronation Buckle |
The pants and the coat have two routes: gain five Trader ranks in a week or reach Rank 10 and Rank 15 in the role. You pick the condition. Ranks come from Role XP, and Trader sales pay triple Role XP in November.
November outfits
Besides Pittman, the November event has three more sets of clothing.
- The Danube and The Tasman — limited-time outfits returning in November. Both are 50% off.
- Community-Inspired Outfit — a free outfit designed by player No_Reflection6759 from r/RedDeadFashion. Pick it up at tailors and in the Catalogue. It includes the Kennedy Hat, Winter Shotgun Coat, Opulent Vest, Heathland Chaps, Knitted Gloves, Millard Boots and Trimmed Bandana.
- Cordell Outfit — the Thanksgiving week reward (November 24–30) together with the Coronation Buckle.
Together with Pittman that makes four outfits in a month, two of them free for anyone who logs in.
November discounts
| What | Discount |
|---|---|
| Butcher’s Table | 5 Gold Bars off |
| Camp flags and themes | 50% off |
| The Danube and The Tasman outfits | 50% off |
| Kladruber and Missouri Fox Trotter horses | 50% off |
| Pistol style customization | 50% off |
| Shirts, pants and boots | 50% off |
Rockstar gave no separate end date for the discounts: they are part of the November event. Horse breeds and where to buy them — on the RDR2 horses page.
How to get the most out of the November event
- Without the Trader role you miss half the bonuses. Triple sales, double Materials, the Pittman Hat, plus the pants and the coat are all tied to Trader. How roles work — on the Red Dead Online roles page.
- Bring Cripps Perfect carcasses and pelts. 2X Materials applies exactly to Perfect Carcasses, Pelts, Skins and Hides, and the goods made from them then sell at 3X.
- Sell turkeys to the Butcher. 10X RDO$ is the highest multiplier of November, and the announcement does not tie it to a role.
- Rank up through sales. Triple Role XP on Trader sales is the shortest way to +5 ranks for the Pittman Pants and Pittman Coat.
- Don’t skip Trade Route. The free roam event pays 3X RDO$ and XP.
- Gold is in the Hardcore Pro Series. It is the Featured Series of the month with 3X RDO$, Gold and XP.
- Log in every week. The Pittman conditions are split into November 3–9, 10–16, 17–23 and 24–30.
- The Butcher’s Table is 5 Gold Bars cheaper in November. If you were planning to buy it, now is the better time.

How often Red Dead Online updates
Unlike GTA Online, where bonuses change every Thursday, Red Dead Online gets monthly packages, not weekly ones. Rockstar posts one Newswire article per event, and it runs for about four weeks: the October event ran from October 6 to November 2, the November one from November 3 to 30, 2026.
Within the month only the weekly challenges change, as with the Pittman Outfit. The main bonuses and discounts stay all month.
This page keeps a permanent address. When Rockstar announces the next event, we rewrite the “What’s on now” section and move November to the archive. Rockstar has not announced the next event yet. A general overview of the mode is on the Red Dead Online page.
