Rockstar has rolled out its latest monthly celebration for Red Dead Online, and this one is all about the Moonshiners. Running from March 3 to March 30, 2026, the “Moonshiner Event Month” delivers stacked bonuses on story missions, sales, and contracts, plus a rotating lineup of free clothing rewards and some of the best discounts we’ve seen on Moonshiner gear in months.
Whether you’re already running a high-level Moonshine Shack or just thinking about buying one, this is the perfect time to dive deep into the role.
Massive Multipliers Across the Board
Rockstar is pumping up payouts all month long:
3X RDO$, Gold, and XP on all A Land of Opportunities missions
3X RDO$ and XP on Moonshiner Story Missions
3X RDO$ and XP on the Bluewater Contract
2X RDO$, Role XP, and XP on every Moonshiner Sale
2X RDO$ and XP on all Featured Series matches
That means Moonshiner Story Missions and sales are paying out better than almost any other activity right now. If you’ve been putting off finishing the Moonshiner story campaign, March is the month to knock it out.
