How do I unlock the Legendary Buck Trinket for better pelts?

To unlock the Legendary Buck Trinket in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must first hunt and skin the Legendary Buck. This trinket is highly valuable as it improves the quality of pelts you collect, making it easier to obtain perfect pelts for crafting and selling. The process involves locating the Legendary Buck, hunting it effectively, and crafting the trinket at a Fence. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to help you achieve this.\n\nFirst, you need to unlock the Legendary Animal map. This is done by completing the mission ''Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego'' in Chapter 2, where Hosea introduces you to hunting Legendary Animals. After this mission, you’ll receive a map showing the locations of all Legendary Animals, including the Legendary Buck. The Legendary Buck is located in the western part of the map, near the area of Big Valley, west of Strawberry. Look for the Buck icon on your map to pinpoint its exact location.\n\nOnce you arrive at the location, use Eagle Eye to track the Legendary Buck. Look for golden clues such as fur, droppings, or broken branches. Follow these clues until you locate the Buck. Be cautious, as Legendary Animals are more challenging to hunt than regular ones. The Legendary Buck is fast and can easily escape if you’re not careful. Use a rifle with high damage, such as the Rolling Block Rifle or the Springfield Rifle, to ensure a clean kill. Aim for the head or heart to avoid damaging the pelt.\n\nAfter successfully hunting the Legendary Buck, skin it to obtain the Legendary Buck Pelt and Legendary Buck Antler. These items are essential for crafting the trinket. Store the pelt on your horse and head to the nearest Fence. Fences are special vendors found in locations like Emerald Ranch, Rhodes, and Saint Denis. They allow you to sell stolen goods and craft trinkets and talismans.\n\nAt the Fence, navigate to the crafting menu and select the Legendary Buck Trinket. You’ll need the Legendary Buck Antler and $45 to craft it. Once crafted, the trinket will automatically activate, providing its benefits. The Legendary Buck Trinket increases the chances of obtaining perfect pelts from animals, even if your shot isn’t perfect. This is particularly useful for hunting rare animals or completing challenges that require perfect pelts.\n\nOne common challenge players face is losing the Legendary Buck Pelt if they die or fast travel before delivering it to the Fence. To avoid this, always prioritize delivering the pelt immediately after the hunt. If you lose the pelt, don’t worry—the game automatically sends it to the Trapper, but you’ll still need to visit the Fence to craft the trinket. Another tip is to save your game before hunting the Legendary Buck. This allows you to reload if something goes wrong during the hunt.\n\nIn summary, unlocking the Legendary Buck Trinket involves hunting the Legendary Buck, collecting its pelt and antler, and crafting the trinket at a Fence. This trinket is a game-changer for hunters, as it significantly improves the quality of pelts you collect. Follow the steps carefully, and you’ll soon enjoy the benefits of this powerful item.
