Red Dead Online: Buy gold bars - these are the prices

Red Dead Redemption 2 turned out to be the atmospheric masterpiece that was expected. In contrast, the criticism of the online mode, which was released on November 27, 2018, is much stronger. There is also purchasable content in Red Dead Online. The in-game currency is gold bars. These can be bought with real money.

Gold bars are the in-game currency of Red Dead Online and are by no means cheap.

Red Dead Online: Gold bars trigger discussions

Read Dead Online is an online multiplayer version of Read Dead Redemption 2. Since December 01, 2020, it is also available as a standalone. In Read Dead Online you can buy in-game content with gold bars. These can be collected in-game as well as purchased with real money. The official prices are usually fixed, but there are always offers that reduce the cost by up to 50 percent.

• 25 gold bars: 9.99 euros
• 55 gold bars: 19.99 euros
• 150 gold bars: 49.99 euros
• 245 gold bars: 74.99 euros
• 350 gold bars: 99.99 euros

It is then interesting to look at how many gold bars are needed in the game for which items. To be able to buy all purchasable items, you would need 2,134 gold bars, which would cost many hundreds of euros via real money. Alternatively, you can collect the gold bars in-game, but the pace is very slow. Depending on the calculation, it takes around two hours to collect one bar, but only if things go ideally.The time needed for larger amounts of gold bars is therefore already almost unrealistically high. Players who want to buy some items can hardly get around the real money stake and for this Rockstar Games reaped much criticism.
