Where can I find perfect pelts for crafting the Trapper’s outfits?

To craft the Trapper’s outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need perfect pelts, which are obtained by hunting animals with a three-star quality rating. The key to getting perfect pelts lies in using the right weapon, aiming for clean kills, and targeting specific animal species. Each outfit requires pelts from different animals, so knowing where to find them is crucial.\n\nFirst, you need to identify the animal required for the outfit you want. For example, the Legendary Bear Outfit requires the pelt of the Legendary Bear, while the Bison Outfit needs perfect bison pelts. Use your binoculars or the Eagle Eye ability to study animals and check their quality. A three-star animal will yield a perfect pelt if killed correctly.\n\nNext, ensure you use the appropriate weapon for the animal. Small animals like rabbits and raccoons require small game arrows, while medium-sized animals like deer and wolves need a rifle or bow with improved arrows. Large animals like bears and bison require high-powered rifles like the Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle. Using the wrong weapon can damage the pelt, reducing its quality.\n\nOnce you’ve identified the animal and equipped the right weapon, aim for a clean kill. Headshots are the most effective way to preserve the pelt’s quality. Avoid shooting the body multiple times, as this can degrade the pelt. For example, when hunting a perfect deer, use a rifle and aim for the head or neck to ensure a clean kill.\n\nNow, let’s discuss specific locations for finding perfect pelts. The Heartlands is an excellent area for deer, pronghorns, and rabbits. The forests near Valentine and Strawberry are ideal for wolves and bears. For bison, head to the Great Plains or Heartland Overflow. Smaller animals like beavers and muskrats can be found near rivers and lakes, such as Owanjila or the Kamassa River.\n\nOne common challenge is tracking elusive animals like the panther or cougar. These predators are found in specific areas, such as the woods south of Braithwaite Manor for panthers and the forests near Annesburg for cougars. Use cover scent lotion to mask your scent and approach slowly. Patience is key, as these animals are highly aggressive and will attack if they detect you.\n\nAfter obtaining the perfect pelt, take it to the Trapper to craft your desired outfit. The Trapper has several locations, including Saint Denis, Riggs Station, and near Owanjila. Be cautious while traveling, as losing the pelt due to an ambush or accident will require you to hunt the animal again.\n\nFinally, here are some practical tips: Always save your game before hunting rare animals. Use Dead Eye to ensure precise shots. Carry plenty of ammunition and healing items in case of unexpected encounters. If you’re struggling to find a specific animal, try changing the time of day or weather conditions, as some animals are more active during certain periods.\n\nBy following these steps and tips, you’ll be able to gather perfect pelts efficiently and craft the Trapper’s unique outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2.
