Red Dead Online: How to Claim the PS4-Exclusive Online Items

The Red Dead Online beta is now freely available for all Red Dead Redemption 2 players. If you happened to buy RDR2’s Ultimate Edition, you can claim some special online items right now. However, even those who own the game’s standard version can add some unique online items to their inventory.

Red Dead Online players who are playing on the game’s PS4 version are entitled to three free items. In this guide, we’ll explain how you can add the PS4-exclusive horse (and saddle), outfit, and weapon to your inventory.

How to claim PS4-exclusive Red Dead Online items

Red Dead Online PS4-exclusive items.

The special Red Dead Online freebies which all PS4 players are entitled to are as follows:

  • Red Chestnut Arabian Horse (with stat-boosting Alligator Skin Ranch Cutter saddle)
  • Grizzlies Outlaw Outfit
  • High Roller Double-Action Revolver

Much like with the Ultimate Edition, you have to complete Red Dead Online’s opening tutorial before claiming any bonus items. Once the tutorial is finished, follow the below instructions to access the PS4-exclusive items.

Red Chestnut Arabian Horse

First, make sure you sell the starter horse you get as part of the tutorial. Once you have a free horse slot, visit any stable in the Red Dead Online free roam world. You’ll find the Red Chestnut Arabian horse listed as free in the stable merchant’s selection. Along with the new horse, make sure you grab the Alligator Skin Ranch Cutter saddle. The saddle grants bonuses to both your horse’s health and stamina cores.

Grizzlies Outlaw Outfit

Claiming the Grizzlies Outlaw outfit is a pretty straightforward process. As part of the tutorial you’re given a catalogue which is used to purchase items on-the-go. Open up your catalogue by holding down left on the D-pad. Navigate over to the ‘Outfits’ section and you’ll find the Grizzlies Outlaw outfit available for free. To equip the outfit, you’ll have to access the ‘Wardrobe’ feature at your camp.

High Roller Double-Action Revolver

Interestingly enough, the High Roller Double-Action Revolver isn’t part of the Gunsmith’s stock. To add the unique revolver to your arsenal, you have to instead visit a fence. Like the other PS4 freebies, the revolver has no cost other than the time spent travelling to the nearest fence.
