What’s the best way to complete Survivalist Challenge 10?

Survivalist Challenge 10 in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to catch one of each type of fish in the game. This is one of the most time-consuming challenges, as there are 13 different fish species to catch. To complete this challenge, you’ll need to understand the game’s fishing mechanics, know the specific locations where each fish spawns, and use the correct bait or lures.\n\nFirst, ensure you have the right equipment. You’ll need a fishing rod, which can be obtained during the mission ''A Fisher of Fish'' in Chapter 2. You’ll also need different types of bait and lures. Regular bait (worms, crickets, and bread) works for smaller fish, while special lures (lake, river, and swamp) are required for larger fish. The special lures can be purchased from bait shops or crafted if you have the right materials.\n\nNext, familiarize yourself with the fish species and their habitats. The 13 fish include the Bluegill, Bullhead Catfish, Chain Pickerel, Channel Catfish, Lake Sturgeon, Largemouth Bass, Longnose Gar, Muskie, Northern Pike, Perch, Redfin Pickerel, Rock Bass, and Smallmouth Bass. Each fish has specific spawn locations, so you’ll need to travel across the map to catch them all. For example, Bluegill can be found in most freshwater areas, while Lake Sturgeon are exclusive to larger bodies of water like Lake Isabella.\n\nTo maximize efficiency, plan your fishing route. Start in the northern regions, such as Lake Isabella for Lake Sturgeon, and work your way south. Use the Eagle Eye ability to spot fish in the water, which helps you identify the species and determine the best bait or lure to use. For example, Lake Sturgeon require the Lake Lure, while smaller fish like Bluegill can be caught with regular bait.\n\nOne common challenge is catching the Legendary Fish, which are not required for this challenge but can be confusing for players. Focus on the non-legendary species first. Another issue is weather and time of day affecting fish spawns. Some fish, like the Muskie, are more active during specific times. Experiment with different times of day and weather conditions if you’re having trouble finding a particular fish.\n\nFinally, be patient and persistent. Some fish, like the Muskie and Northern Pike, are rare and may take multiple attempts to catch. Use the correct lure, cast your line near the fish, and wait for a bite. Reel in slowly to avoid breaking the line. If you’re struggling, consider upgrading your fishing rod or using special lures to increase your chances.\n\nIn summary, completing Survivalist Challenge 10 requires preparation, knowledge of fish locations, and patience. Equip the right bait and lures, plan your route, and use Eagle Eye to spot fish. With persistence, you’ll catch all 13 species and complete the challenge.
