What are the best strategies to obtain perfect animal pelts efficiently
To efficiently obtain perfect animal pelts in Red Dead Redemption 2, follow these strategies:
-
Identify the Right Animal
-
Use binoculars or the study feature to identify animals with a three-star quality rating, as only these can produce perfect pelts.
-
-
Choose the Correct Weapon
-
Use the weapon and ammo type specified in the animal’s Compendium entry for a clean kill. For example:
-
Small animals: Varmint rifle.
-
Medium animals: Bow with small game arrows.
-
Large animals: Rifle or bow with poison arrows.
-
-
Avoid high-powered weapons that can damage the pelt.
-
-
Aim for Vital Organs
-
Use Dead Eye to target critical areas like the head, neck, or vital organs (heart, lungs) for a one-shot kill. This minimizes damage to the pelt5.
-
-
Use Dead Eye Level 4+
-
This level highlights vital organs, making it easier to land precise shots.
-
-
Hunt at Optimal Times
-
Animals are more active during specific times of day, so plan your hunts accordingly to find your targets more easily.
-
-
Preserve Pelts During Transport
-
Store pelts on your horse immediately after skinning to prevent degradation during travel.
-
By combining these tactics, you’ll consistently secure perfect pelts for crafting and trading.
