How do I unlock the Missouri Fox Trotter in the game?
The Missouri Fox Trotter is one of the best horses in Red Dead Redemption 2, known for its speed, stamina, and calm temperament. To unlock this horse, you need to progress through the game and meet specific requirements. The Missouri Fox Trotter becomes available in Chapter 2, but the most reliable method to obtain it is during the Epilogue or through a specific random encounter in the wild.\n\nTo unlock the Missouri Fox Trotter during the Epilogue, you must complete the main story and reach the Epilogue Part 2. Once you have access to Blackwater and the surrounding areas, you can purchase the horse from the Scarlett Meadows Stable in Lemoyne or the Blackwater Stable. The horse costs $950, so ensure you have enough money saved up. This method is straightforward and guarantees you a high-quality Missouri Fox Trotter without relying on random encounters.\n\nIf you want to obtain the Missouri Fox Trotter earlier in the game, you can try to find it in the wild. One of the most reliable locations is near Moonstone Pond, north of Annesburg. Look for a random encounter where a woman is being attacked by wolves. If you save her, she will offer you a ride on her Missouri Fox Trotter. You can then tame the horse or bond with it to make it your own. However, this method is less predictable and may require multiple attempts to trigger the encounter.\n\nAnother method involves exploiting a glitch during the Albert Mason mission in Chapter 2. During the mission ''The Veteran,'' you can track and tame the Missouri Fox Trotter that appears in the mission. This requires precise timing and patience, as you need to follow the horse after the mission ends and tame it before it despawns. While this method is more challenging, it allows you to obtain the horse much earlier in the game.\n\nWhen attempting to tame or bond with the Missouri Fox Trotter, be prepared for its high stamina and speed. Use calming techniques, such as pressing the left stick to soothe the horse, and approach it slowly to avoid spooking it. Once you have the horse, focus on bonding by feeding, brushing, and riding it regularly. This will increase its stats and make it a reliable companion for your adventures.\n\nIn summary, the Missouri Fox Trotter can be unlocked by purchasing it during the Epilogue, finding it in the wild near Moonstone Pond, or exploiting a glitch during the Albert Mason mission. Each method has its challenges, but the Epilogue purchase is the most reliable. Regardless of how you obtain it, the Missouri Fox Trotter is a valuable addition to your stable and will serve you well throughout the game.
