The Trader is one of the new roles in Red Dead Online. The trader role has proven to be popular in the latest update because it’s a profession that is focused on making money through hunting and then selling the goods that you collect in bulk. To be a trader in Red Dead Online you will need to purchase the Butcher’s Table to get started. If you need a full rundown on how to start the Trader role, head to this guide.
Assuming you’ve already got your Butcher’s Table, you’re ready to begin life as a trader in Red Dead Online. Being a trader basically means that instead of hunting and fishing and bringing your kills to the Butcher, you’re going to be using those items as materials in your camp.
There are three different aspects to being a trader. You need materials, which you get from killing animals and bringing them back to the camp. You’ll also need to manage your supplies. Supplies can either be ordered for $20 or you can start a resupply mission from the camp when your supplies are depleted. When you have supplies and materials you will produce goods. Once your goods get to a certain level you can deliver these supplies for XP and $$$.
Delivery missions can either be local deliveries or distant deliveries. Local deliveries are low risk deliveries that yield a lower amount of cash. Distant deliveries yield more cash, but they have the risk of other players attacking you during your delivery, which could leave you with nothing.
