Happy 2026, outlaws! While the gaming world is buzzing about the "polish phase" for Grand Theft Auto VI (currently set for late 2026), Rockstar has quieted the "Red Dead is dead" rumors by kicking off the new year with a high-stakes month for Bounty Hunters.
From January 6 through February 2, 2026, the frontier is offering massive multipliers, returning rare fashion, and some long-lost rewards from previous Outlaw Passes.
Massive Multipliers on Bounties
Justice is paying out triple this month. If you need to grind RDO$ or Gold, now is the time:
3X RDO$, Role XP, and XP: On all Regular Bounty Missions.
2X RDO$, Gold, and XP: On Legendary and Infamous Bounties.
3X RDO$ and XP: On Bounty Hunter Free Roam Events (Manhunt and Day of Reckoning) and the Featured Series.
Pro Tip: Participating in either Manhunt or Day of Reckoning just once this month will earn you the Gable Charm (originally from Outlaw Pass 4).
Exclusive Rewards: Outlaw Pass Throwbacks
Rockstar is reaching into the vault this month, offering items previously locked behind old Outlaw Passes:
Harshaw Gauntlets (Outlaw Pass 2): Earned by turning in any Legendary Bounty.
White Clairborn Coat (Outlaw Pass 1): Play as a Rank 25+ Bounty Hunter at any point this month to claim it.
Black Morales Vest: Win a match in the Featured Series.
Weekly Challenges & Login Goodies
Mark your calendars to ensure you don't miss these rotating rewards:
| Dates | Requirement | Reward |
| Jan 6 – Jan 12 | Complete 3 Bounty Missions | San Luis Shore Treasure Map |
| Jan 13 – Jan 19 | Complete all Bounty Hunter Daily Challenges | 40% Off Established or Distinguished Role Item |
| Jan 20 – Jan 26 | Complete 3 Bounty Missions | 50% Off any Weapon |
| Jan 27 – Feb 2 | Rank 50+ players log in | Beige Torranca Coat |
Limited-Time Fashion & Free Community Outfit
The Wheeler, Rawson & Co. catalogue has been updated with returning "limited" pieces: the Gator Hat, Strickland Boots, Tied Pants, Irwin Coat, Clymene Coat, and Shaffer Chaps.
Additionally, you can claim a Free Community Outfit curated by creator vsblicky. Assemble the look for free by picking up these pieces:
Cayuga Hat
Ascot Tie
Leather Jacket
Flores Vest
Everyday Shirt (Male) / Iniesta Shirtwaist (Female)
Gibbston Pants

Millard Boots
The "Next-Gen" Rumor Mill
While this monthly update is a nice boost, the real chatter in the saloons is about the Red Dead Redemption 2 Next-Gen Upgrade. Following the official re-release of the original Red Dead Redemption for PS5 and Switch 2 last month (December 2025), industry insiders like NateTheHate reiterate that a native RDR2 port is still on the way for later this year.
Are you going to use this triple-payout month to finally reach Rank 30 in the Prestigious Bounty Hunter role, or are you just logging in to snag that rare white Clairborn Coat?
