Each tier also has a kit of items that are unique to the Role and can be unlocked to purchase using Role Tokens. Unlocking a Role Rank earns Role Tokens and new skills or items, which can be unlocked by the Tokens. Every 5 ranks the player will earn a new tag: Novice, Promising, Established and Distinguished. Posses are the games way of creating gangs, as the game allows players to even name Posses, give them an emblem, set up a permanent camp and customize it in a variety of ways. Role XP counts towards the progression through 20 Role Ranks. In Red Dead Online, players can band together in Posses. Each Role automatically earns Role XP as player complete Role’s activities. Still, it’s a pretty decent moneymaker and it unlocks some great rewards.
The downside to this is that much like real life, it’s a bit boring. You go out and collect furs and carcasses, and then you trade them for money, simple. With each role the player gains unique items and skills as they progress. The Trader Role is probably the most realistic Role in Red Dead Online.
With each Role, you’ll always have new pursuits to embark upon that lead to unique items and skills as you progress, in addition to cash and gold payouts. Specialist Roles are unique paths of progression, each providing their own experiences allowing you to become even more deeply connected to your character and the choices you make as you inhabit the world of Red Dead Online.
