Can You Make Two RDO Characters?
Red Dead Online (RDO), the online multiplayer mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, allows players to create and customize their own characters. But, can you have multiple RDO characters? In this article, we’ll explore the options available to you and discuss the implications of creating a new character.
Initial Confusion
Unfortunately, you can only have one character at a time in Red Dead Online. The game’s design and gameplay mechanics are centered around creating and progressing a single character. However, if you feel that you’ve made a mistake or want to try out a different playstyle, you can delete your current character and create a new one.
Multiple Profiles on PS4 or Xbox
If you play on a console, such as the PlayStation 4 (PS4) or Xbox, you can have multiple profiles. Each profile has its own saves and can be used to play as a different character or progress through the game’s storyline. This means you can create multiple RDO characters, but you would need to switch between them manually.
New Account for a New Character
On the other hand, creating a new account will give you a completely separate Red Dead Online experience, with its own progress and data. This is essentially the same as having two different characters, but in this case, they exist in separate accounts.
Here is a table to compare the two options:
| Single Profile/Multiple Characters | Multiple Accounts/New Characters | |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Playing the game using one account, but switching characters. | Creating a separate account for each character you want to play as |
| Progress | Data shared between characters, only losing progress when switching accounts. | Separate data, but no sharing between characters |
Pros and Cons
Creating multiple RDO characters or accounts has both benefits and drawbacks.
- Pros:
- More flexibility and versatility, allowing you to switch between characters and playstyles
- Can restart your progress or try a new approach without losing important progress
- Cons:
- Less coordination and management, with more characters to keep track of
- Difficulty in keeping track of loot and progress across multiple accounts
- Less space in your game’s inventory for items and collectibles
Conclusion
Creating a new RDO character requires dedication and resource investment. Whether you choose to use multiple profiles or create multiple accounts, it’s crucial to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. If you’re struggling to decide, you might want to consider starting anew and creating a fresh account, or experimenting with creating a new character within the same account.
