Moonshiner month
Distill Your Best Swill for Triple Rewards in Red Dead Online. Official
This month's event is built around the Moonshiner role. Moonshiner Sales and the Moonshiner Story Missions pay triple, there are weekly rewards for completing a sale, and the Featured Series pays triple RDO$ and XP, with a different series each week. Free Roam Missions pay triple RDO$ and XP all month.
If you are not a Moonshiner The Free Roam Mission bonus and the Featured Series are open to everyone. A Trader can become a Moonshiner by completing a sale or reaching Trader Rank 5, and Cripps then makes the introductions. CGN reading of Rockstar's role page
