In Red Dead Online, there is one feature players clamored for from the beginning — the ability to play in a solo lobby without interruption from other players.
Other players are the best and worst thing about Red Dead Online, and hunting, fishing, or just exploring can either be a delightful experience or an annoying slog if a posse decides to start griefing you. There are systems in place to stop players from simply killing you over and over, but even these systems can be exploited. Hence, some players just want to play online solo and soak in the atmosphere without the ever-present threat of murder hanging over their heads.

Like in RDR2's main story mode, players in Red Dead Online have the ability to purchase a variety of different items, ranging from tonics to weapons, horses, clothing and so on. Unlike the single-player. Red Dead Online is the online multiplayer gameplay aspect of Red Dead Redemption 2 where players can band together or play against each other against the backdrop of the Wild West. Builds on Multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Online RDO Map. Find any useful items, locations or event around the map of RDO.
And no it seems like there’s a way to enter a solo lobby (semi) permanently. You’ll need to take advantage of an in-game feature, but this is a perfectly legit method.

Players say that any and all Stranger Missions will activate a solo lobby, but some of them will repopulate. It isn’t confirmed which ones will fill back up, and which ones won’t, but if you start a Stranger Mission, you don’t have to finish it. You can avoid completing it and just sit in your solo lobby for as long as you want.
The only stranger that’s confirmed to keep you in a permanent Solo Lobby is “Joe”, the stranger located east of Emerald Ranch. This tip was originally shared and tested by Redditor u/TylerBoTheye. Give it a try yourself, and see if this little trick works!

Because we’re still in the beta, it isn’t clear whether this trick is intended by Rockstar, or if this method will remain in the game even when it fully releases later. Maybe there will be a simpler system, allowing you to switch lobbies like in GTAO? There’s no way to know what the developer is planning, so just be aware that this method might change in the near future.

Now that Red Dead Online is out for everyone across all platforms, players are gearing up to find some treasure maps and gold bars. However, some players would rather play Red Dead Online solo than posse up with anyone. While this is understandable, it’s also not something easy to figure out. Given that this is an online mode, is it even possible to do that?
Though it is an online mode, there’s no surprise that some players just want to hang out by themselves. For one, other players can be griefers, destroying everything you’ve done and so on. Or worse, they could stalk you across the world map, killing you at every turn. Regardless of your reason why here’s what we know about how to play Red Dead Online solo.
How to Play Red Dead Online Solo
Let’s get this right out of the way. No, you can’t play completely solo in this online mode. By that, we mean there is no way to kick every other real person out of your session and be completely alone. However, the game certainly doesn’t force you to team up with other players or even interact with them. It is possible to play without running into other players.
However, playing Red Dead Online solo like this isn’t easy. For one, there are up to 32 players in a single session so the possibility of finding another one is relatively high. Thankfully, you can occasionally see the marker of other players nearby on your map. This can make avoiding them possible if you’re quick.
Better yet, you could join a posse and simply play by yourself. While this seems contradictory, it does give you the bonus of having some backup if someone just won’t leave you alone. Thankfully, you can play every mission by yourself if you want so there’s that at least.
