Four days of ranking up

The folks at Rockstar are feeling a bit festive, and to thank the fans, they're offering up quadruple XP for the action-adventure western Red Dead Redemption.

What better way to celebrate the holiday weekend than with some gluttonous fan appreciation XP levels whilst you dole out frontier justice all across the land in Red Dead multiplayer. Beginning at 12:01am Eastern on Thanksgiving Day, this Thursday November 24th - and lasting all the way through Sunday November 27th, feast on four times the normal amount of multiplayer XP in all versions of Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare (including the recently released Game of the Year Edition).The event is a great way to climb the ranks for those going for achievements like How the West Was Won or Legendary.

Although the event coincides with the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving, don't fret, as 4x experience will be in effect for everyone worldwide.

From 3H double/triple events to 4X for 4 days. Well it's more fair to other countries now and very easy to hit 50 with this.

Guess I'm going back to RDR for a while. Fort Mercer was an amazing XP farm for me. Already hit Legendary, but even with all achievements, I don't consider a game done till I've maxed out the online and single player... to the West!

Looks like Rockstar intends to compete with Epic for multiplied-experience events.

They really need to announce the next one earlier - I could have brought it home with me.

Oh well, a couple of hours for me after I get back to college on Sunday...

I love how often Rockstar has double/triple/quadruple EXP weekends, it's a shame so few other developers do the same (I'm lookin' at you Crysis 2).
