Strange Tales of the West Emerge in Red Dead Online

Red Dead Redemption 2 · published 2 Jul 2025, 09:48 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Author Theodore Levin can’t believe the rumors and missives he’s been receiving from the four corners of the American frontier. He’s working on an anthology of these unexplained and weird phenomena and he needs your help investigating the wildest claims that cross his desk.

Strange Tales of the West will require steely resolve and courage in the face of the odd, twisted, and downright supernatural. Embark upon these four new Telegram Missions by picking up Mr. Levin’s letter at any Post Office or from your Camp’s Lockbox, then opening it via your Satchel or launching Telegram Missions from your Player Menu.

STRANGE TALES OF THE PLAGUE

There are stories of a malady spreading among the people of Armadillo, turning them into shambling undead. It’ll fall on you to retrieve several of these diseased corpses for scientific examination, if you can avoid infection and fend off attacks from a resurgent cell of nearby cultists.

STRANGE TALES OF MODERN SCIENCE

A nearby man of science claims he’s created artificial life that stalks the grounds of Braithwaite Manor, killing those curious or unfortunate enough to stumble upon it. Bring the strange experiment to light by discovering its secrets and destroying any automata that put up a fight.

STRANGE TALES OF THE BAYOU

Something unholy lurks in the swamps of Lagras. Explore at your own risk, be wary of ambushes by Swamp Folk who call those wetlands home, and bring the swamp creature back for Theodore.

STRANGE TALES OF THE WILDERNESS

Investigate reports of a missing scientist last seen conducting strange research on a crew of murderers in Tall Trees. When the operation goes sideways, you’ll need to use your survival skills to find weapons, craft items, and hunt for food, all while tracking down the scientist and his captors.

3X GOLD, RDO$, AND XP ON TELEGRAM MISSIONS

Venture out to dispense frontier justice on behalf of characters both honorable and deplorable in Telegram Missions, including the new Strange Tales of the West Missions, to receive 3X Gold, RDO$, and XP through August 4.

See full event details at the Rockstar Newswire.
