Red Dead Online Money Glitch Removed in Latest Patch

Two different glitches allowing players to generate infinite money quickly were discovered in the last two weeks. Players used the first to duplicate fish and sell them, and when that was fixed, they moved on to the even more lucrative cougar glitch.

The glitch was performed by first obtaining the carcass of either a three star cougar or a three star panther and heading to a Red Dead Online butcher, preferably without fast travel. Before arriving at the butcher, players were to shoot the carcass until a cougar (or panther) icon and the words "Perfect Cougar (or Panther) Carcass" appeared on screen.

Players can then bring their horse to the butcher, where they should see both a perfect carcass and a poor one. Players can then sell the perfect carcass, wait a few moments for the carcass to return to the Horse Cargo inventory, and sell again ad infinitum.

A patch removing this exploit arrived on live servers Thursday, ending the cougar bonanza.
