Turning in The Hacks we clean up RDO ( UPDATED)

[st.luke]

The only way to start to clean up the games we love to play. Is if players who do not cheat, Hack Or do Modding will band together and start turning in and reporting people with a Ranking above ranking cap 99 or 100 if cheating is detected, only 24 players can be in one session at a time and there are very few players with ranks in the hundreds so watch the lobby for (names that are (blinking or changing colors) as possibly the one doing the cheating or moding as being a possible account doing it. it is indeed capped at 999 for rank, which the ranking cap on RDO now is 1,000 and the player must have earned in excess of 27, million EXP's to get that rank, Anyone with a ranking above 99 could be using hacks or mods to gain the needed EXP's to advance their rank especially if they are achieving it in a short time of game play. But not all players over 100 are hacking. So players in RDO need to watch for any kind of cheats going on and look at the lobby session they are in for possible cheats being used the player who could be using cheats their tag could be fluxuating or ( blinking) in between names or colors as they try to hide. Rockstar has indeed just informed me that the rank cap is basically 999 and that it takes in excess of 27,000.000.00 EXPs to obtain the cap rank of 1000. Which makes it an almost an impossible rank to obtain.
It will take time but eventually the hacks that are using mods or glitches to gain unfair EXP's to advance their rank or cause hate will not be able to login without being watched or caught and banned soon after they again start using those mods while in-game, because honest players will see that and report them.
This updated
"Updated to reflect Rockstars information from Support"
And that there is still continued modders and hacks using source codes menus to advance and to cause trouble within game play sessions.
And to express and apologize to any earlier posters that I may have had a difference with about ranks cap, I stand corrected.

For distinction purposes, there is a difference between a player's level <= 100 and a player's rank <=999. OP seems lost on this fact.

Also, the cheaters are usually new, get bored of the grind so they turn to mods (Or got killed multiple times by a high ranking player because they thought they could be all big-an-bad-in-the-ol'-west and took them on and lost.)

As such, MOST modders will either have a 1000+ (as a form of bragging or intimidation) or will have a low rank because they can't be bothered to change the rank and its a new account.

It doesn't matter, just don't play in public lobbies - You can play the game at level one - running over to a fishing spot(finding a fisherman) - steal his rod - and just fish the entire time - you get No XP for fishing, and can sell fish for pretty good amounts - you get some gold/xp from dailies or resets, but for the most part you can ignore all that and get so much money - at low levels that someone may call you a hacker for being at level one with some decent stuff(that isn't level locked) and get reported for it.

Reporting players for their level is the dumbest thing ever - let rockstar go after mod creators, and in turn will get the cheaters banned - if they ever do.

Red Dead Online Ranks
Red Dead Online has a total of 99 ranks that reward players. The player ranks up by earning experience points which are themselves obtained through completing missions and other multiplayer activities: reaching a certain amount of XP will earn the player a new rank. Each new rank will unlock items for the player to buy. Starting at Rank 10, reaching every increment of 5 Ranks will reward players with a Treasure Map and a total of 199 of these are available from ranking up.

Every rank from Rank 5 to Rank 99 rewards players, but it is possible to go over Rank 100. Currently the level cap is Rank 1,000

that is right off of R* Official
Red Dead Wiki

so good luck with your mad mans pea brain idea of banning anyone over rank 100 never going to happen cause they not breaking any rules by being over rank 100

The truth always prevails.

WiKi is using false information to lead RDO player to believe they can go all the way to rank 1,000. Well do it by using no hacks or mods, because straight from Rockstar if people would just ask Rockstar support is rank is 99.
Read it for yourself.

https://www.vg247.com/red-dead-online-max-level-what-is-the-maximum-level-in-red-dead-online#:~:text=Now%20select%20%E2%80%98Rank%20Unlocks%E2%80%99%2C%20and%20you%20can%20see,your%20Red%20Dead%20Online%20character%20is%20level%20100.

And then realize that WiKi is and can be manipulated by hacks and all you need is to register to edit WiKis.

Well, well you need to update that because It's 1000 for top rank. I am at 907 as of right now. I am a clean player, and never use cheats or mod menu to play my game.

I like to think a lot of people on here are smart and can see delusions already. But just in case there are younger players reading and to reduce the chance of monitoring staff getting bombarded with false reports:

Level 99 is not the max. There are many legitimate players above 100.

Reporting a person using cheat via in-game is not effective -- cheat software intercepts it.

To properly report a person you suspect is cheating, go to their Rockstar profile from the game and report there. Be sure to include recordings if possible as evidence. If their in-game name is different than their Rockstar name, they are cheating, so do record that.

Also, blocking a player from Rockstar Social Club can prevent some from pulling you into their lobby via 3rd-party software.



For others with game crashes, try to play in a solo lobby to see if it fixes your issue first. You can easily do this. Search for keywords "Startup.meta."

Using 3rd-party software to get a solo lobby opens your account to be flagged (from cheating).

Have fun 😊

lolz well a video and reporting in the Stoical club does get you a ban... Yes you can still get a ban in RDO online in 2025... Have fun 😊

not all high levels are cheaters, I have not used mods or hacks and am 167. I have used an interacting map. I will look out for those that are level 1000 with blinking names.

I play since more than 5 years and i am 296 and i never used mods nor glishes and so. So stop saying players above 100 are cheaters ;)
Btw to go fast in XP and money, the collector job is the most appropriate.

I think there is confusion on ranks, experience, etc. Indeed if you go to Progress and Rank Unlocks you will see a max of 100. That's "Rank Unlocks". If you go to Roles you will see there are four in which you can reach Rank 20 in each and a fifth, Bounty Hunter, with a Rank of 30. That adds up to 110.

Go to in-game Player and if you've played a while you will see that indeed you can go higher. There are legit players that show over 100. I'm at 265 and well known on Steam for being legit. Haven't used mod's or hacks in the game and don't care to. For me the game is just to pass the time and have some fun. I have over 500 hours because I play most afternoons and evenings.

Makes sense that players with huge amounts of experience and Unlocks should show a higher level than 100.

An additional people can see for themselves is Game Rant noted back in October of 2023 a player achieving "Rank" 1000 after 9200 hours in the game. Do you really want to see this player in-game showing "100"?

All that said, Mods and Cheats are indeed a huge problem. So is griefing which can be legitimately done in events like Trade Route. Reporting people for griefing there probably won't go far since it looks to be intentionally allowed.

i think it just low IQ ppl lol trying find reason why they bad at a game anyone that actually better then them it must be they cheating
