Red Dead Online map: where role camps stand and why treasure moves every time

Red Dead Online uses the same map as Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Mode: Ambarino, New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth and New Austin. We cover the states, regions and towns on the RDR2 map page. Here is only what makes the RDR2 Online map different.

• No Guarma. The tropical island from Chapter 5 of the story is not available in Red Dead Online, says Red Dead Wiki, and it is not among Online’s 15 fast travel points either.
• No story locks. Arthur gets killed by an invisible sniper in New Austin and near Blackwater. In Online, Blackwater, Armadillo, Tumbleweed and MacFarlane’s Ranch are ordinary fast travel points (per Red Dead Wiki and RDOMap data). New Austin holds a Harriet camp, a Moonshine Shack and three of the twelve possible Madam Nazar spots.
• Your own property. An Online character lives in a camp with Cripps, and the Moonshiner role adds a shack - one of five fixed ones (per Red Dead Wiki and rdr2.org).
• Different Fences. According to Red Dead Wiki, the Fence in Thieves’ Landing exists only in Online: Story Mode has no Fence in New Austin.

Everything that depends on the day, the session or chance - Madam Nazar’s camp, collectibles, treasure - the game marks on your own map. So the map below shows only what always stays put.

The big Red Dead Online updates did not add new land; they put new characters and buildings on the existing map. Dates per Xbox Wire, PlayStation Blog, Rockstar Newswire and GTABase.

On July 7, 2022, Rockstar wrote on Newswire that there would be no more major themed Red Dead Online updates. Since then only monthly events have come out, so the list above still holds in November 2026. For this month’s event, see the Red Dead Online weekly update.

The numbers on the map match the table below. The markers are placed by in-game coordinates, so the distances between them are true to the game; the shape and colour show the type. Hover over a number to see its label.

Every spot was checked against two sources. Coordinates come from the open RDOMap data (Jean Ropke) or from femga’s dump of in-game coordinates; the places come from Red Dead Wiki descriptions and, for Harriet’s camps, from the HoldToReset guide. For two Fences and the Harriet camp near Lagras a second numeric source differed by up to about 100 game units, which is smaller than a marker on the map.

Madam Nazar stands at only one of the 12 spots each day (#1-12), chosen at random. You pick one Moonshine Shack (#13-17) when you buy the role. How each role works and what it costs is on the Red Dead Online roles page.

Collectibles. The spots of flowers, bottles, coins and other Collector items change every day. According to RDR2CollectorsMap data and ginx.tv guides, each category has six “cycles”, and every day the game switches one of them on at random. That is why a static Red Dead Online collector map shows the wrong spots on most days. Use the Collector’s Map from your satchel: it marks three items, and until you have found Madam Nazar that day, one of the marks leads to her camp. Sets, prices and tools are on the Red Dead Online Collector page.

Your camp. You do not place the camp with Cripps yourself: you choose a region and the game picks the spot (per Red Dead Wiki). According to PowerPyx, the camp later moves on its own, so it has no fixed point.

Bounty Boards. They stand near sheriff’s offices, post offices and train stations (per Red Dead Wiki and HoldToReset guides). There are many of them and they are easy to find in any town, so we left them off the map.

Legendary animals. Harriet’s Legendary Animal Map shows two animals of each species, and the third appears only in her mission. See Red Dead Online legendary animals.

Treasure in Red Dead Online works differently from the story’s chains of hand-drawn maps. You get a treasure map every 5 ranks (per Red Dead Wiki; rdr2.org and Gamepressure say from rank 10 on), and you can also find one on dead bandits after clearing a gang hideout.

Open the map in the Documents section of your satchel and the game zooms your map to a yellow area with a treasure icon. There are 29 areas, each with 4 possible chest spots, and the chest appears in one of them at random (per Red Dead Wiki; RDOMap data has the same 29 areas with 4 spots each). So an RDO treasure map with permanent crosses makes no sense: check the four possible spots in the highlighted area.

The story treasures (Jack Hall Gang, Poisonous Trail, High Stakes) have nothing to do with Online - they are in the RDR2 treasure maps guide.

Opening the map. On consoles, hold Options on PlayStation or Menu on Xbox (per Prima Games and GameRevolution). On PC, the map key is listed under Settings → Controls. Set a waypoint and the minimap shows a route along the roads.

Fast travel points. According to Red Dead Wiki and RDOMap data, there are 15 permanent points: Annesburg, Armadillo, Blackwater, Colter, Emerald Station, Lagras, MacFarlane’s Ranch, Manzanita Post, Rhodes, Saint Denis, Strawberry, Tumbleweed, Valentine, Van Horn Trading Post and Wapiti. The price depends on distance (per rdr2.org and Red Dead Wiki).

From your camp. To leave straight from your camp, you need the Fast Travel Post: $700 and rank 65 (per GTABase and Red Dead Wiki).

Naturalist camp. Harriet sells the Wilderness Camp, and you can pitch it almost anywhere outdoors (per Red Dead Wiki and PowerPyx). More on roles that pay is in the how to make money in Red Dead Online guide; the mode in general is on the Red Dead Online page.
