'Red Dead Online' Update Adds Adler & Belle Missions, New Tomahawk - Patch Notes
Red Dead Online has been updated once more, and today's patch adds Black Belle and Adler Free Roam missions, as well as a few new Tomahawk types for PlayStation Plus users. Here's a recap of the patch notes, courtesy of a Rockstar Games blog post.

While not quite as substantial as last week's update to Red Dead Online, the changes featured in the patch for May 21 are still worth a gander. New NPCs offer new tasks to complete, while the Free Roam payout bonuses from last week remain in effect. Stack those perks on top of the Posse bonus, and there's plenty of incentive to take a stroll through the map for a few short-term activities. The Ancient Tomahawk also looks like a sweet weapon for those who can afford it, but it won't offer any drastic changes to the overall gameplay experience.
For the most part, this update for Red Dead Online aims to resolve a few lingering issues while introducing just enough new content to keep longtime players hooked. This multiplayer suite still has its fair share of problems, even in its post-beta state, but Rockstar remains committed to keeping things fresh.
Red Dead Online is included with Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 and Xbox One.
