How do I ensure Arthur’s camp is fully upgraded by Chapter 6?

To fully upgrade Arthur’s camp by Chapter 6 in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need to focus on three main areas: contributing funds to the camp ledger, completing specific upgrades, and gathering the necessary materials. The camp upgrades are tied to the gang’s morale, health, and overall functionality, so prioritizing these tasks will enhance your gameplay experience.\n\nFirst, you need to contribute money to the camp ledger. This is done by donating cash or valuable items to the donation box located near Dutch’s tent. To maximize your contributions, focus on completing missions, hunting legendary animals, and looting enemies or treasure chests. For example, the treasure map quests (such as the Jack Hall Gang or High Stakes treasure maps) can yield thousands of dollars, which can be donated to the camp. Aim to donate at least $2,000-$3,000 to unlock all upgrades.\n\nNext, you need to interact with the camp ledger, which is found near Dutch’s tent. The ledger allows you to purchase upgrades for the camp, such as improved lodging, food supplies, and medical supplies. Each upgrade requires a specific amount of money and sometimes additional materials. For example, upgrading the medical supplies requires $225 and a perfect deer pelt. To gather materials, focus on hunting animals like deer, elk, and boars, and ensure you use the right weapon (a rifle or bow with improved arrows) to get perfect pelts.\n\nOne of the most important upgrades is the Leather Working Tools, which cost $225 and are purchased from the ledger. These tools allow Pearson, the camp cook, to craft satchels and other items. To unlock the Legend of the East satchel, you’ll need to gather perfect pelts from specific animals, such as a perfect wolf pelt, perfect cougar pelt, and perfect badger pelt. These pelts can be found in specific locations: wolves in Big Valley, cougars near Roanoke Ridge, and badgers in the Heartlands.\n\nAnother key upgrade is the Chicken Coop, which costs $325 and provides a steady supply of eggs and feathers. This upgrade improves the camp’s food supply and morale. Additionally, upgrading the camp’s lodging (for $400) improves the gang’s overall morale and unlocks fast travel from Arthur’s tent. Fast travel is particularly useful for quickly moving between locations to gather materials or complete missions.\n\nTo ensure you have enough money and materials, prioritize hunting and exploring early in the game. For example, in Chapter 2, you can hunt legendary animals like the Legendary Buck, which provides a pelt that can be sold for a high price or used to craft trinkets. Additionally, complete side activities like fishing, robbing trains, or clearing out gang hideouts to gather extra cash and resources.\n\nFinally, keep an eye on the camp’s morale and needs. Regularly contribute food, medicine, and ammunition to keep the gang happy and healthy. If you notice the camp’s morale is low, donate more funds or complete camp chores like chopping wood or carrying hay bales. These small actions can have a big impact on the gang’s overall well-being.\n\nIn summary, fully upgrading Arthur’s camp by Chapter 6 requires a combination of financial contributions, material gathering, and strategic upgrades. Focus on donating money, hunting for perfect pelts, and purchasing key upgrades like the Leather Working Tools and Chicken Coop. By prioritizing these tasks early in the game, you’ll ensure the camp is fully upgraded and the gang is in good spirits as the story progresses.
