Fast Travel In Red Dead Online

Red Dead Online Game Modes & Features Detailed

Red Dead Redemption 2, in spite of having a massive game world and relatively slow forms of transportation – horses – doesn’t exactly spoil players with convenient fast travel. The situation is different in Red Dead Online though, as it features a different system. In Red Dead Online it’s much easier to “fast travel” and significantly more useful in terms of actually moving between points of interest.

As described in our guide , fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 is highly limited. It is only unlocked once you buy several upgrades for your camp. It only works one-way, and only from your camp. You can’t fast travel between Valentine and Strawberry, for example. You also can’t fast travel back to camp either. It’s barely useful as a fast travel system at all.

As fun factor likely overtakes adherence to realism on the priority list in Red Dead Online, the system has been overhauled. Taking pointers from some other open-world games, such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Red Dead Online uses a fast travel post based system. Scattered throughout the game world are so-called fast travel posts, which allow you to instantly move to another such post.

Fast Travel In Red Dead Online

Indicated by a small sign-post symbol on your map , which only appears if you are in close proximity, these fast travel posts are little wooden scaffolds with a ram skull on top and a broken wheel at the base in order to help you identify them. Using fast travel will cost you money, and the price is calculated based on how far away your destination is.

You can only travel in between posts, not anywhere on the map from such a post. While this is much more accommodating than the solution in single player, it’s still fairly restrictive when compared to other games. Some, for example, allow you to instantly travel from any point to any other point on the map, while others let you fast travel freely between all points of interest. The system used by Red Dead Online is an ideal compromise between convenience and realism.

There are a total of 16 fast travel posts in the game world. 15 are located at points of interest, while the 16th is located at your camp, the location of which is variable. The camp fast travel post is only unlocked when you reach Rank 65. Check out our Ranking Guide to learn how to reach it quickly.

Fast Travel In Red Dead Online

The 15 fast travel posts are as follows:

  • MacFarlane’s Ranch
  • Manzanita Post
  • Saint Denis
  • Emerald Station

You’ll notice that every location has railway access, or is close to a railway. The actual posts themselves are also physically close to railway stations or tracks. This little detail is an attempt by Rockstar to maintain immersion and realism, implying that the characters catch a train to whichever location they choose to fast travel to.

It also isn’t generally allowed to take your horse with you on trains – at least, we suspect this is the explanation for one of the drawbacks of using fast travel. If your horse is carrying any pelts or carcasses when you use fast travel, they will disappear.

Red Dead Redemption 2 How to Unlock Fast Travel

October 25, 2018 by PowerPyx 1 Comment

This guide will teach you how to unlock fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2). There are 3 types of fast travel:

  • Permanently Free Fast Travel: Can be unlocked by upgrading your camp.
  • Train Tickets / Post Office: Train Tickets can be bought at the Post Office for a small fee, but not every other train stations can be reached from each town.
  • Stagecoaches: Found in most towns, you can call a Stagecoach to drive you to another town. The downside is that these only work when you have no bounty on your head worldwide.

In addition to fast travel, there is automatic horse travel (autopilot) which lets you set a waypoint anywhere and you can hold Touchpad (PS4) / View-Button (Xbox One) to make your horse ride there automatically. To initiate this you must be riding on a road in the direction of the waypoint.

Unlocking Free Fast Travel (Camp)

Step 1 (Unlock Camp Upgrades) : In Chapter 2, complete Strauss’s story mission “Money Lending and other Sins”. Strauss wants you to track down debtors who took a loan from your gang. There are 3 of them, you just need to get money from one and put it in the camp’s tithing box. This unlocks the ledger next to the tithing box. There you can select camp upgrades!

Step 2 (Unlock Fast Travel): Buy the first two camp upgrades in the lodging category “First Things First” ($220) & “Next in Line” ($325). That’s $545 in total. The second upgrade unlocks a fast travel map behind Arthur’s tent!

fast travel to camp rdr2 online

Now you can use the map behind Arthur’s tent for free fast travel. You can only travel to discovered towns, but cannot travel back. This is one way only. To get back you’ll have to either ride your horse or use one of the fast travel options below to get to the nearest town and then ride back to camp. Below is an image of what the fast travel map looks like:

Train Fast Travel

Train Tickets can be bought at any Post Office. The further you want to travel the more they cost (it usually varies between $5-$15). The downside is that not every train station is connected to each other. So you may have to take multiple trains to get where you want to go.

The upside is that it works even when you have a bounty on your head. The train fast travel is instant.

Red Dead Redemption 2: How to Fast Travel in Red Dead Online

Image of AOTF Staff

There are a couple of different ways to fast travel in Red Dead Online, and it’s pretty similar to the way that you fast travel in the single player side of the game.  Red Dead Online does not feature fast travel by train, instead you need to look out for a different type of fast travel marker in the world.

Anywhere that you find the broken wagon wheel with the ram’s skull on top of it, you can fast travel from this point.  You can also see fast travel spots on the overworld map and they look like a signpost.  You can find these Red Dead Online fast travel locations in Armadillo, Tumbleweed, MacFarlane’s Ranch, Manzanita Post, Blackwater, Strawberry, Valentine, Colter, Emerald Station, Rhodes, Wapiti, Van Horn, Annesburg, Saint Denis, Lagras, Tumbleweed, or you can fast travel back to your camp location.

It does cost money to fast travel though and the prices can be quite steep depending on how far you are looking to go.  The further your destination, the more it will cost you to fast travel in Red Dead Online.

Fast travel is also an instant process now.  Instead of being treated to a short cinematic that showed you riding in a stage coach or riding on a train, you will not just instantly be transported to the destination you choose.

Can you Fast Travel from Camp in Red Dead Online?

You can fast travel from your camp in Red Dead Online, but it is not something you will have access to right away.  It is an unlockable feature that will only be available after you reach level 65.  Once you do reach this level you will be able to purchase the fast travel feature which will add one of the broken wagon wheels to your camp which you can fast travel from.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - the fast travel map in camp

Fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 takes on a few different forms. In this guide, we’ll teach you about them all.

Each one will prove useful in its own way as you travel the vast expanse of Red Dead Redemption 2 ’s world. After all, the scenic route — riding everywhere on Arthur Morgan’s horse — will get old eventually.

Stagecoaches and trains

Stagecoaches and trains are forms of fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 , but they’ll cost you. Literally. For a fee, you can hire a stagecoach or buy a train ticket.

The stagecoach icon on the Red Dead Redemption 2 map

Stagecoaches appear on the map as an icon that looks like two intersecting street signs. (It’s called a “taxi coach” in the menu that appears when you hover over it.) For a nominal fee that increases (as far as we can tell) based on distance from your current location, you can take a stagecoach to locations you’ve previously visited.

The post office icon for trains Red Dead Redemption 2

If you want to catch a train, you’ll need to buy a ticket. ( Unless you don’t .) You’d think you’d be looking for a train station, but you might also be looking for a building sitting next to a train track. In one town, Rhodes, what you’re actually looking for is the post office icon (which looks like an envelope). Talk to the clerk inside, and you can purchase a ride on a very Old West kind of transportation.

Actual fast travel

Traditional video game fast travel becomes available after you upgrade your lodgings at the Van der Linde Gang’s camp.

Head to the icon in camp that looks like a briefcase with a dollar sign on it. (It says “Donate to camp” when you hover over it on your map.) There are three upgrades to purchase on the lodging page. The second one, “Next in Line,” costs $325 and says that “Arthur wants a map to help plan journeys.” This is a reference to fast travel.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - the fast travel map in camp

Buy that upgrade, and you’ll find a map on the back of the stagecoach next to Arthur’s bed. Approach it and interact, and you’ll be able to travel to several destinations — a mixture of towns and significant locations like buildings.

Keep in mind that this form of fast travel only works one way — from camp to somewhere else. If you fast travel from camp to, say, a town on the opposite side of the map, you’ll either need to ride your horse, hire a stagecoach or buy a train ticket to get back.

Red Dead Online Camp Guide:

The Camp is the first and most basic living place in Red Dead Online. As a solo traveler, you can set up your Player Camp to give yourself somewhere to rest in Free Roam. Or you can head to your Posse Camp to share a communal space with other members.

You can use the Camp to cook, craft weapons and tonics by the fire, rest up , access your wardrobe and change your clothing, collect purchased items from a lockbox, and even Fast Travel (if you have upgraded).

After the 1.11 Frontier Pursuits Update , the Camp can also be turned into a business as part of the Trader Role , by sourcing materials for Cripps to produce into sellable goods via the Butcher's Table .

The Red Dead Online Camp can be found and set up in the Item Wheel under "Kit", or via the Player menu under " Camp & Properties ". The 1.15 Moonshiners Update also added the ability to spawn directly at your Camp from the Red Dead Online Landing Page.

You can upgrade the Camp or select its theme via the Wilderness Outfitters store. The Camp provides safety from other players if your White Flag is raised.

Red Dead Online Camp Size & Cost:

A small fee must be paid to set up the Camp, to move it afterwards or to increase its size. You can choose between two Camp sizes:

  • A Small Camp can hold between 1-4 Posse Members. A Daily fee of $1.00 is charged for Camp maintenance.
  • A Large Camp can hold between 1-7 Posse Members. A Daily fee of $2.00 is charged for Camp maintenance. Only Persisent Posses can use Large Camps.

All Posses require a Camp as a base. Before creating a Posse , you must choose the Camp size - which will affect how large your Posse can be.

Red Dead Online Camp Locations:

There are 13 possible Camp Locations in which you can set up your camp. You can move your camp between these locations at any time:

  • Bayou Nwa ( Lemoyne )

Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp - how to unlock and set up a Wilderness Camp

A Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp lets you rest, craft, and cook anywhere, and this is how you access it

Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp

The Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp is a great tool to have at your disposal, as it gives you the option of quickly throwing down a fire to rest, craft, and cook at wherever you are on your travels. Locating and travelling to your main Cripps Camp has long been a bone of contention with Red Dead Online players, and even with the option from the main starting menu to spawn there directly it's still often inconvenient to find it when you're out roaming the plains. Helpfully there is a portable solution available for this, so here's what you need to know about unlocking and setting up a Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp.

How to unlock the Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp

Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp

Unfortunately if you're looking for a fast route to unlock the Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp then you're out of luck, as there are several steps you have to complete before you can access it. First, if you haven't already begun the Red Dead Online Naturalist role then head to the Welcome Center in Strawberry, where you'll meet Harriet Davenport and Gus MacMillan. You can then complete Naturalist work for either of them, to increase your rank in that role.

Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp

Once you reach rank 5 of the Naturalist role, the Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp will become available for purchase from Harriet Davenport at any of her camps. It will, however, cost you $750 plus two role tokens, so make sure you have the necessary resources available to fund this.

How to use the Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp

Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp

To set up a Red Dead Online Wilderness Camp, all you need to do is bring up the weapon wheel then move over to the Items tab, select the bottom segment and scroll through the choices available to find the Crafting Wilderness Camp option. This will then set up a camp as close to your current location as possible in the nearest available position, where you can then rest, craft, and cook without having to go off searching for Cripps. Be aware that if you move too far away from your Wilderness Camp, it'll disappear and you'll have to set up a new one to use it again, though at least this doesn't cost you any resources.

Red Dead Redemption 2 fast travel: How to unlock fast travel and other ways of travelling quickly

How to get around the world quickly with Fast Travel in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 fast travel is something you'll probably be asking about after your third or fourth long trek between destinations.

Though the game doesn't make a big song and dance about it, the good news is fast travel is in the game - though there is several caveats to how it works.

If you haven't unlocked fast travel yet, then there's other ways of getting round the map as well - allowing you to reach far-off destinations as soon as the game world opens up.

For more help, our Red Dead Redemption 2 walkthrough explains the requirements for fully completing the game's many story missions.

How to unlock fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2

Fast travel won't be available to you when you start Chapter 2, and has to be unlocked by progressing through the story, and then unlocking a few camp upgrades.

First, play through to mission Money Lending and Other Sins . Hand in your first debt, and you'll learn about the Ledger, allowing you to upgrade your camp .

You want to specifically upgrade Lodgings. Once you have upgraded it once, you'll have the option to upgrade Arthur's tent. Do so, and you'll unlock fast travel.

fast travel to camp rdr2 online

Of course, it isn't a simple case of selecting somewhere on the map and going there. You have to go to Arthur's tent - specifically, round the back - and view the map. Then, you select a location you've been to before, and you'll appear there, with your main horse , after a transition sequence.

What this means is, even with this unlocked, you cannot decide to jump from somewhere out in the wilderness to another destination - you still have to do that at a camp.

fast travel to camp rdr2 online

However, if you are close to a specific location, you can travel around the map through other means...

Other ways to fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2

Whether you've unlocked fast travel from your camp (as described above) or not, there are other ways of jumping round the map.

One is by using the stagecoach . This is an icon with a signpost on it, and is usually at most towns, ranches and other named locations on the map.

Cover image for YouTube video

Provided you've been to that location previously, you can pay to use the stagecoach to that destination.

By the way, if it looks like the Stagecoach is unavailable (there will be a 'lock' symbol on the icon) it means you're likely in a mission, have to pay a bounty or are currently riding your horse - fix these things and you should be good to go.

fast travel to camp rdr2 online

The other method is by train . At most larger settlements there is a envelope icon, which indicates a train station. This is not only a postmaster and a place to pay your Wanted bounties, but you can also buy a train ticket to far away destinations.

Unlike the stagecoach, you can take the train to any destination on the list right from the start of Chapter 2 (where the game begins to open up). Not only that, it's usually cheaper than the stagecoach - so if you're somewhere where you have the choice of both, grab the train.

fast travel to camp rdr2 online

Of course, though the train goes to more prominent locations and allows you to go there straight away, the stagecoach visits a lot of smaller ranches, so both come in handy.

Either way, both cost money, and since you'll be starting a lot of your trips from your camp, purchasing the camp upgrades to fast travel from there will be better in the long run.

Fast Travel

  • View history

Fast Travel is a mode of travel in Red Dead Redemption , Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online that allows players to traverse long distances across the map quickly. There are three main ways to fast travel, most of which cost money.

  • 1 Red Dead Redemption
  • 2.2 Stagecoach
  • 2.5 Missions
  • 3 Red Dead Online
  • 4 Cinematic Mode
  • 5 Known Bugs
  • 6 External links

Red Dead Redemption [ ]

In Red Dead , the player can fast travel by the means of a Stagecoach Taxi located in almost every settlement. For a price, they can be driven to any of the following locations and have the option to skip to destination.

Destinations are limited to the following:

  • Benedict Point
  • Las Hermanas
  • MacFarlane's Ranch
  • Rathskeller Fork
  • Ridgewood Farm

Red Dead Redemption 2 [ ]

Fast Travel Map - Red Dead Redemption II

Arthur's Fast Travel map

Players have the option to upgrade Arthur Morgan 's camp lodgings, for a price, after the mission " Money Lending and Other Sins I ." The gang will do little to help in this regard, so the task falls to players. Upgrade options can be found next to Dutch van der Linde 's tent wherever the caravan ends up.

Players must pay the first $220 upgrade fee before the next tier evens shows up. It is this next tier, at $325, that unlocks the fast travel map, so players will need $545 total. Once purchased, Arthur's fast travel map appears outside his wagon or inside his room at Shady Belle during Chapter 4 . After completing the first part of the Epilogue, the Fast Travel map will become available free of charge (i.e. no upgrades are needed).

Alternatively to using the map, the player can fast travel using their camps. Upon setting up camp, the player is able to fast travel to the same places they could when using the map.

Note that destinations the player can travel to are entirely dependent upon where they have already been. Due to this, and that it is difficult to raise that amount of money in the early game, players may want to wait until they have traveled to more areas.

  • Armadillo (after Epilogue 1)

Stagecoach [ ]

Stagecoach - Red Dead Redemption II

Stagecoach option

Like Red Dead Redemption , Stagecoaches are another fast travel option, and they can be found in most towns. Unlike using the fast travel map, using a stagecoach requires money. Not only that, but players need to be aware of what their level of honor is for that particular town. If their honor is too low, the stagecoach will be locked.

Like the fast travel map, the player will only be able to travel to destinations he has already visited. Stagecoaches, however, cannot take players back to their camp.

  • Emerald Station

If the player wishes, they may also be able to fast travel via purchasing a train ticket at a train station. Tickets for the train, which only runs between select locations, can be purchased at the Post Office. Locations include:

  • Riggs Station
  • Wallace Station

Although traveling by train is noticeably cheaper than using stagecoaches, the reachable destinations are limited within three territories ( West Elizabeth , New Hanover , and Lemoyne ).

If the player is at the countryside of a state and wishes to go to its main town, another alternative of Fast Traveling is to vandal, or kill someone and, after arrival of lawmen, just surrender and they will take the player into the town. However, it will cost the player honor, money, and days in prison.

Missions [ ]

The last alternative option for fast travel comes at the end of some missions. This only requires completion of the mission and accepting the option to travel. Players can, of course, refuse the option if they have other matters to attend to, but this will prevent them from fast traveling back to their camp.

Red Dead Online [ ]

In Red Dead Online , the player can upgrade their camp with an Fast Travel post for $700.00 upon reaching Rank 65.

There are 15 fast travel locations on the map. The cost differs depending on the distance from the current destination.

Cinematic Mode [ ]

Cinematic Mode can be used as a form of "auto run" to reach destinations. To do this, the player must place a waypoint on the map, mount their horse, get up to speed on a road, and hold the touchpad/view button to engage Cinematic Mode. The player's horse will automatically navigate to the waypoint. While not "fast travel" properly said, it does allow the player to put down the controller for a few moments. However, hostiles like rival gangs , bounty hunters and predators will still attack, and sometimes the horse's A.I. fails to deal with traffic on the road as well. Any unique random encounter found by the road may also be lost if the player does not pay attention to them.

Known Bugs [ ]

  • As corpses aren't allowed inside the Van der Linde camp , if the player Fast Travels to it with a dead NPC on horseback, the game will instantly bug as soon as it starts the scene of the player entering its grounds.

How to Unlock Fast Travel in Red Dead Online

Image of Jonathan Moore

The fast travel system in Red Dead Online is almost identical to the one found in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Stagecoaches still play a large role in getting you around the map, and using the cinematic camera to ride your horse from one waypoint to another is still a good option. 

However, there are a few caveats in the fast travel system that are worth noting. 

Fast Traveling From Your Camp

Unlocking fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2  meant getting the ledger and buying the Next in Line upgrade. However, unlocking fast travel in Red Dead Online has one of two requirements: 

  • Reach level 65 
  • Pay 112 gold

Arguably, neither of those tasks is easy, with the 112 gold requirement being especially difficult seeing that you get such little gold from missions and multiplayer modes like Most Wanted. 

For the best ways to get gold (kind of) fast, head over to our gold grinding guide here . 

How to Access Fast Travel From Your Camp

However, once you do meet one of those requirements, you can access fast travel in your camp by: 

  • Going to Cripps and focusing on him 
  • Selecting “ Wilderness Outfitters ” 
  • Choosing “ Equipment “

Traveling by Other Means

Almost every one of the major hubs in Red Dead Online is connected by stagecoach as soon as you enter free roam. When you reach them, you’ll be looking for posts with ram skulls on top of them and a  broken stagecoach wheel leaning against them instead of the prim and proper signs from the base game. 

As you would expect, there are different prices for traveling to each of the hubs. However, know that traveling to your camp from any of the hubs — even those very close to your camp — will set you back a flat $15. 

You can also “fast travel” by using the cinematic camera while riding your horse. Simply place a waypoint, start riding, and activate the cinematic camera. Make sure you are on a road or designated path or your horse will just go forward a few steps and stop. 

That’s all you need to know about fast travel in Red Dead Online . Be sure to keep an eye out for more RDRO guides as we make our way through the online mode over the coming days.
