Red Dead Online Update – January 8, 2020

It's possible that the Red Dead Online Poison Poppy's Moonshine quest could be fixed.

According to Rockstar aficionado TezFunz2, Rockstar have tweaked the game and fixed the bug that might have been preventing players from completing the quest.

A tweet sent this afternoon reads:

"Background update – Fixed the Moonshine Camp random event cooldown bug. Now the event is placed on cooldown for 30 minutes whenever you complete any moonshine activity (sell/bootlegger/story/raid missions) Encounter it to unlock the Poison Poppy moonshine recipe."

We imagine we'll start seeing reports of players encountering the Moonshine activity to unlock the Poison Poppy moonshine recipe shortly if all is fixed.

More to follow…

Original Story – At the start of December Red Dead Redemption 2 released a big new update to the game introducing an all-new Frontier Pursuit for players to pursue.

This followed on from the September expansion that successfully reinvigorated Red Dead Online players with the original Frontier Pursuits update.

This meant players could choose to become a Bounty Hunter , Trader , Collector and most recently, a black-market Moonshiner.

Safe to say, the new update has been welcomed with open arms by the community at large, adding plenty more content to the game and brand new missions to undertake as well.

Well, all but one it seems.

Players who choose the route of the Moonshiner Buisness have daily request they can fulfil, but there's one that has players stumped: ' Poison Poppy's Moonshine '.

The recipe appears greyed out and some high-ranking players believed that this could be part of a drip-feed of content by Rockstar Games, which would suggest it's coming soon.

However, some players have spoken with Rockstar Support, who appear to confirm that this isn't a bug or a drip-feed of content.

One response from the Support team, posted to the GTA Forms, reads:

"Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support. You have mentioned that you are experiencing difficulty regarding the poison poppy moonshine recipe in RDO. I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

" I want to share that this is as per gameplay mechanics and players will have to find it themselves by searching the map. "

Which would seem to suggest that the Poison Poppy Moonshiner recipe is live, but just that no one seems to have unlocked it as of yet.

And as you might imagine, fans are now frantically attempting to work out how on earth you make this recipe.

Most thoughts suggest it might have something to do with a Moonshiner related random event in Red Dead Online.

However, as of yet, there's multiple theories on how to encounter this mission dynamically in the open world, but nothing that's 100% confirmed just yet.

Rockstar Games leading source of information, TezFunz2 has shared several updates on the GTA forums, but this is the most definitive info shared thus far:

" A friend looked into it, can confirm that you'll be able to make Poison Poppy moonshine once you find that random moonshine camp ."

It's also been suggested by Tez most recently (within last 24 hours of this post) that players need to be the posse leader to potentially encounter the event,

Tez also shared a map showing the general area to look for this dynamic event, which you can see below. But again, without knowing for certain how to trigger this event most players are still in the dark.

We'll be sure to update the page with more info as it becomes available.

For now, you can see the map, just below, so you know 'roughly' where you're best looking.

Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Review – 4/5

– Reviewed on PC

In a world where developers who design experiences for console and try throw them on the PC, Rockstar Games beautifully takes its time in creating a port that both serves the artistic purposes of the original while allowing players to run free in their best open world to date. Just make sure your PC is up to standard.

The real verdict will shine once modders get their hands into the files and begin to create some crazy mods for the game – something which may be a major selling point for this PC version down the line.
