This weekend, Rockstar games invites members of the online community to rack up double multiplayer experience points in the world of Red Dead Redemption. From 1pm EST Friday, August 13 to midnight EST Sunday, August 15, as part of a posse or riding solo, explore the wide open spaces of New Austin, soak in modernity and sophistication in West Elizabeth, or take part in the burgeoning revolution in Nuevo Paraiso to earn double XP and level up at twice the speed. Gaining XP unlocks new weapons, mounts and characters, which can be accessed in the Outfitter menu.

With its nine new multiplayer maps, the newly released Legends & Killers Pack offers even more locations and challenges to earn double XP. Take on free-for-all or team based matches in brand new maps made specifically for online play, including Blackwater, Fort Mercer, and Rio Bravo.

Whether conquering gang hideouts or other posses, Red Dead Redemption’s multiplayer world offers an engaging and completely innovative multiplayer experience. The game is in stores now for Xbox 360 and PS3.
