As our fall calendar continues touring treacherous destinations from Blackwater to Bohan to Brazil, we thank all of those who joined us for our recent wild western stop in the Red Dead Redemption Social Club Multiplayer Event held on Friday September 13th across both PSN and Xbox LIVE. With our resident RedDeadDevs 3 to 6 playing across all modes in the Game of the Year Edition (that is all the original modes plus all DLC modes as well), along with a double live-stream on the Rockstar Social Club and a third live stream on our Twitch TV channel, there was frontier bloodshed near and far.

Starting in Free Roam, after inviting Social Club members who had posted their PSN IDs in the live chat, RedDeadDev6 wasted no time in claiming The Armadillo Saloon and lay in wait with the Cattleman Revolver. However, IstanbuLTurk (PSN) burst in to beat our dev player down and claim the land, kick-starting an intense contest which saw the saloon changing hands multiple times before brieffrogs34283 staked the final claim. Dev6's entire session was recorded by Social Club Multiplayer Event stalwart ShenmueSaga and can be viewed below so you can re-live the action.

Meanwhile, RedDeadDev4 and a posse of PS3 players took on a chilling round of Undead Overrun in Blackwater. Good teamwork was on show throughout, as fivemarket36797, sami-PORRN, knowingcork81635 and our Dev4 stayed closed together and came to each other's aid on a few occasions, until it all got too much and they fell after 10:45.15 and seven vicious waves of the undead.

RedDeadDev3 - representing on Xbox LIVE - took part in a Grand Prix with Haimerej87 (GT), niks132, RDR Mihal72RUS (GT), LIMP_BIZKIT, xBadman187x, BeliZean PsYch0 (GT) and the_dead_awake, quickly discovering that galloping into the lead with a dev tag above their head is not a great place to be when weapons go live. Our player fell to a sudden and unmerciful hail of lead - with niks132 landing the decisive shot - that set them back to 8th place with much ground to make up.

Dev6 was enjoying the quieter and, usually, safer vibes of the Liar's Dice table with soredegree2373, zellraiden, leoneldoherty, DoE-BLaCK-413 and KiNG-D-tha-BOSS (PSN). After DoE-BLaCK-413 called zellraiden's bluff for the win, our dev player and their posse had rested their legs sufficiently for a Gang Shootout, which was dominated by Dev6's marshals. Newswire regular Scareface1970 of the Broken Whiskey Bottles Crew finished top player with 18 kills and a haul of $900.

If only RedDeavDev4 had spotted the TNT to the left, the approaching knife-wielder could have been foiled. A bit of Monday morning QB'ing.
