How do I upgrade Arthur’s satchel for more inventory space?

Upgrading Arthur’s satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2 is essential for increasing inventory space, allowing you to carry more items like herbs, tonics, and materials. The satchel upgrades are tied to the crafting system, specifically the Leatherworking Tools purchased from the camp ledger. To begin, you’ll need to unlock Pearson’s crafting menu by progressing through Chapter 2 and contributing to the camp’s funds. Once unlocked, you can craft satchels by gathering specific animal pelts and materials.\n\nTo craft satchels, you’ll need to collect perfect pelts from various animals. Each satchel requires different pelts, so you’ll need to hunt specific animals like deer, elk, boars, and others. For example, the Tonics Satchel requires a perfect deer pelt, while the Provisions Satchel needs a perfect bison pelt. Use the Varmint Rifle or Bow with improved arrows to ensure you get perfect pelts. Aim for headshots to maintain the pelt’s quality.\n\nOnce you’ve gathered the required pelts, return to Pearson at the camp. Open the crafting menu and select the satchel you want to craft. Each satchel upgrade increases the capacity for specific items, such as herbs, tonics, or provisions. For example, the Ingredients Satchel allows you to carry more herbs, which is useful for crafting potent tonics. Crafting all satchels unlocks the Legend of the East Satchel, which provides unlimited storage for nearly all items.\n\nHunting can be challenging, especially when searching for perfect pelts. Use Eagle Eye to track animals and study them to determine their quality. Focus on three-star animals for perfect pelts. If you’re struggling to find specific animals, consult the in-game compendium or online guides for spawn locations. For example, bison can be found in the Heartlands, while boars are common in the forests near Rhodes.\n\nA common issue players face is maintaining pelt quality during hunts. Avoid using weapons that damage the pelt, like shotguns or explosives. Instead, use the appropriate weapon for each animal. For example, use the Varmint Rifle for small animals like rabbits and the Rolling Block Rifle for larger animals like elk. Additionally, store pelts on your horse to prevent losing them if you die or fast travel.\n\nOnce you’ve crafted all satchels, you’ll unlock the Legend of the East Satchel, which is the ultimate upgrade. This satchel provides unlimited storage for most items, making it invaluable for long hunting trips or extended exploration. To craft it, you’ll need to gather pelts from a variety of animals, including cougars, panthers, and wolves. These animals are more dangerous, so prepare with potent weapons and tonics before engaging.\n\nIn summary, upgrading Arthur’s satchel requires patience, hunting skills, and resource management. Start by unlocking Pearson’s crafting menu, then gather perfect pelts from specific animals. Use the right weapons to maintain pelt quality and consult guides for animal spawn locations. Crafting all satchels unlocks the Legend of the East Satchel, providing unlimited storage and making your journey through the Wild West much smoother.
