3 Reasons Why RDO Mounts Matter

Whether you are new to riding bikes or an experienced rider, there is no doubt that a suitable bike mount can make all the difference in the world. Whether you are looking for something to protect your frame, make riding more straightforward, or save your gear, a good RDO mount will do the job.

Gypsy Cob

Getting a Gypsy Cob in Red Dead Online is a no-brainer. This horse has a high stature, a vast health pool, and a solid reputation. Despite its sizable importance, it is easier to manage than some of its peers. To make the most of your brethren, remember to leave an accessible stall in your stable.

The best part of the Gypsy Cob is that it’s relatively cheap compared to other horses. The cost of a top-of-the-line Gypsy Cob is a fraction of that of a mediocre stallion. This is especially true in the early game when your horse is weakest. To ensure optimal health and well-being, it’s always a good idea to ensure you’ve got a clean, stable and are in an area that’s not prone to fracking. If you must travel long distances, remember to stock up on enough food and water.
