To take on the Bounty Hunter role, visit the Legendary Bounty Hunter in Rhodes to purchase a Bounty Hunter License (15 Gold Bars, or free, if you're a Twitch Prime Member with your account linked to the Rockstar Games Social Club). As a Bounty Hunter, you can get new bounties at law offices, train stations and post offices. You can even recruit a Posse to take on well-protected bounties in exchange for a cut of the bounty. Achieve a high enough Bounty Hunter rank and you can even chase other players with bounties over $20.

Here's the full list Rockstar released of new skills and items unique to the Bounty Hunter Role:

• Focus: Targets glow red in Eagle Eye
• Reinforced Lasso: A lasso made with reinforced rope to keep bounties secure
• Reverse Spin: Perform a Reverse Spin with a single pistol or revolver

...

As The Trader, you'll join the Cripps Trading Company, which lets players transform their camp into a business by tracking down items that can be turned into sellable goods. All you need is 15 Gold Bars to purchase Butcher's Table to get started (the Butcher's Table is free to all PlayStation 4 players).

Traders hunt animals, tackle Resupply Missions and deliver goods, upgrading their Hunting or Delivery wagons as they earn.

Here's the full list Rockstar released of new skills and items unique to the Trader Role:

• Stew Pot: A camp upgrade that unlocks stew recipes to boost cores
• Ingredients Satchel Upgrade: Store more items in your Ingredients Pouch

...

You can now become a Collector by buying the Collector's Bag from travelling saleswoman Madam Nazar for 15 Gold Bars (or by collecting all 54 hidden playing cards in Grand Theft Auto Online). Nazar will point the player toward treasure, including Tarot Cards, buried treasure and hidden heirlooms. As The Collector, you'll be able to assemble sets for more money, improve your search skills and pick up tools like a metal detector.

Here's the full list Rockstar released of new skills and items unique to the Collector Role:

• Divination: Sense when near collectibles
• Pennington Field Shovel: An essential tool for uncovering buried collectibles

• Intuition: Narrow your search area

• Águila Machete: A classic machete restyled for the use of adventurous and belligerent Collectors
• Metal Detector: An important tool which can identify collectibles buried underground
• Equine Assistance: Collect herbs from horseback
• Horse Lantern: Light the path ahead with a lantern attached to your horse's breastplate
• Valuables Satchel Upgrade: Store more items in your Valuables Pouch

Frontier Pursuits are expected to be an important new part of Red Dead gameplay, with additional Roles expected in future updates, further personalizing the online experience for players. As such, Frontier Pursuits have their own, independent levelling system, with XP specific to each Role — bounty hunting earns Bounty Hunter XP, scavenging earns Collector XP — and building through 20 Role Ranks, from Novice to Distinguished. Higher Role Ranks unlocks new skills and access to Free Roam events, plus items that can only be bought with "Role Tokens."

But potentially just as game-changing as the new Frontier Pursuits coming to Red Dead Online are major changes to the how player-characters control, transforming how players interact with the game. The 1.11 patch to Red Dead Online will include what Rockstar describes as "dramatic improvements to player control with quicker and more responsive movement across all phases of combat and locomotion."

The new update to Red Dead Online will also include additions like new Ability Cards, Daily Challenges, Dynamic Events throughout the open world map, new items and Daily Role Challenges to challenge those opting in to the Frontier Pursuits Roles. Tweaks to existing in-game mechanics are also part of the update, such as the higher damage resistance now granted to the Defensive playing style — a menu option that prevents other players from locking on to you, designed for non-combat play.
