If Animal Crossing is too serene a distraction for you, how about you take on other players in the dying west instead? With a new update for Red Dead Online, you now have more ways to murder each other than before.
From today (April 8th), Red Dead Online players can play four new Showdown maps with Double XP up for grabs until April 13th to sweeten the deal. All four of the new maps will start you with Throwing Knives with Shotguns up for grabs around the map.
Here’s a breakdown of all the new Showdown maps in Red Dead Online.
Overrun – Pike’s Basin
A good, old-fashioned turf war in the arid climes of Pike’s Basin. The rules are simple: Capture and retain the most territories to win. It’s surviving and holding on that are the hard partSpoils of War – Roanoke Valley
Just to the north of the Annesburg Mines, the great state of New Hanover plays host to a deadly game of capture. Defend your stockpile from enemies while stealing from them at the same time. Whichever team steals the most wins. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map.Plunder – Stillwater Creek
Take control of unclaimed loot in the long grass and murky waters of Stillwater Creek, returning it to your team’s home base to outscore your rivals. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map.Up in Smoke – Kamassa River
The calm waters of the meandering Kamassa River are the backdrop for this frenetic and explosive mode. All players start out carrying a package — the goal is to deliver said package to your enemy’s camp without getting killed. Whichever team delivers the most or all of their packages by the end of the game will destroy the enemy base for good. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map.
This is just the start where Rockstar’s concerned, as they will also be revealing more about additional maps over the coming weeks. Speaking of Rockstar, they recently revealed that they would be contributing to global relief efforts until the end of May by donating 5% of their revenue.
