Red Dead Redemption Exclusive Pre-Order Bonuses: The Referendum, The Golden Guns, The War Horse and More

Posted on February 9 2010, 5:10pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games


Announcing a wide variety of exclusive Red Dead Redemption pre-order bonuses available via retail partners across the US and UK (details on international pre-order programs to be announced very soon).  Check out the fully updated pre-order page at the Red Dead Redemption official site for all the links and details - including the below exclusive in-game content. 

The Red Dead Referendum
There's one week left to vote in the Red Dead Referendum and determine which unlockable in-game outfit will be the GameStop pre-order bonus: The Savvy Merchant, The Deadly Assassin, or The Expert Hunter.  Eligible voters will also be entered into the Red Dead Redemption Referendum Sweepstakes – for a chance to win daily $100 GameStop gift cards and a grand prize trip to the Grand Canyon.



The Golden Guns Weapon Pack
The player who wields the exclusive Golden Guns receives more Fame for each kill. The more Fame you get, the more in-game side missions become available. So there will be more opportunities to duel, more kidnapped townsfolk to rescue and you can bribe lawmen for less.  The Golden Guns Weapon Pack is exclusive to Amazon pre-orders in both North America and the U.K., and Amazon.com customers will also receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card.



The War Horse
There are countless horses to be found in the massive world of Red Dead Redemption, but none is stronger, faster or tougher than the exclusive War Horse. Whether storming gang hideouts, exploring the wilderness for hidden treasure, or outrunning the law, the War Horse gives gunslingers an advantage in nearly every situation.  The War Horse is exclusive to Best Buy pre-orders in North America and HMV pre-orders in the U.K.

For information on all these and more, including exclusive Brady mini guides & retailer gift cards, visit the official Red Dead Redemption pre-order page.

    So it's obvious that this question has been asked a zillion times: are any of the pre-order DLC items gonna be available for the future via Xbox Live? (War Horse, Golden Guns, Deadly Assassin Outfit, Etc)

        All the collectors edition were pre ordered months before the game even came out in my area so I had to grab the ormal edition. But i really want the collectors edition for the additional challenges and what not... I really want to buy a copy.

            please make an update to turn of golden guns! or just have them removed. if I had known I would have never used the code. the War horse is really good, you have to search for the assasin out by tracking it down which is fine and if your online you join the socal club and get another outfit. its just the gold guns that are annoying I want to be able to turn them off.

                          I wonder if the golder guns can be used in online gaming

                            Yeah I agree, I want the real western experience, i'm going to find me my own horse tame it and name lol. That just seems more cooler to me than having a juggernaut horse

                              I wish there was a special edition in NA. If there isn't it's fine because the game is gonna rock!

                                Im just curious about the war horse. im guessing that your horses can die from either being attacked by wild animals or be shot by bandits. in either case if your war horse is killed are you able to get it back? i would hope so...

                                    What we should be able to do is maybe a few weeks after its release we should be able to purchase the other items through the marketplace.

                                      Because the game is being delayed and I still don't know what the multiplayer will be like I'm delaying pre-ordering a copy til a few weeks before or less.

                                        I would like all the exclusive content but that means I would have to buy the game three times to get all of it. That's asking a lot. I wish they had a way of obtaining all of it.
