Christmas is coming early for Red Dead Online players, as Rockstar has finally revealed the game’s next big update. Set to arrive on December 13, players will soon find themselves able to take on a brand-new Frontier Pursuit by becoming a Moonshiner.

There’s no official information on if the new Frontier Pursuit will work similarly to the current pursuits available, like Trader, Bounty Hunter, and Collector, but we imagine it will start off somewhat the same and will require some kind of investment of Gold to kick things off. Players will then be able to dive into the new profession and experience new storylines, mechanics, and unlock new skills as they build up their moonshining business alongside Maggie Fike.

To kick off your moonshining endeavors, you’re going to want to ensure you’re Trader Rank 5, or have at least completed a sell mission in the Trader pursuit. After the new content launches on December 13, you’ll receive an introduction to Maggie Fike through your very reliable camp coordinator, Cripps. From here, things will evolve as you unlock your moonshining shack, build it up, and grow your business.

We’ll be on the lookout for more info about the new Moonshining Frontier Pursuit as it becomes available, so keep your eyes here on Shacknews and on our Red Dead Redemption 2 guide for even more content.
