What’s the best way to upgrade your satchel for more ammo?

Upgrading your satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2 is essential for carrying more ammo, crafting materials, and other items. The best way to upgrade your satchel is by crafting the Legend of the East Satchel, which allows you to carry 99 of each item. To achieve this, you need to complete a series of tasks involving hunting, gathering, and crafting. Here’s a detailed guide to help you through the process.\n\nFirst, you need to unlock the ability to craft satchels. This is done by completing the mission ''Money Lending and Other Sins - III'' in Chapter 2, where you help Strauss collect debts. After this mission, Pearson, the camp cook, will offer to craft satchels for you. Speak to him at the camp to access the crafting menu. You’ll see a list of satchels, each requiring specific animal pelts and materials.\n\nTo craft the Legend of the East Satchel, you must first craft all other satchels. Each satchel requires perfect pelts from specific animals. For example, the Tonics Satchel requires a perfect deer pelt, while the Ingredients Satchel needs a perfect badger pelt. Hunting these animals can be challenging, so use a rifle or bow with improved arrows to ensure you get perfect pelts. Aim for headshots to avoid damaging the pelt.\n\nSome animals, like the panther and cougar, are more difficult to find and hunt. For the panther pelt, head to the woods south of Braithwaite Manor in Lemoyne. Use predator bait to lure it out, and be ready for a quick, deadly encounter. For the cougar, explore the area north of Annesburg in Roanoke Ridge. These predators are aggressive, so stay alert and use Dead Eye to land a clean shot.\n\nOnce you’ve gathered all the required pelts, return to Pearson and craft each satchel in order. After crafting all seven satchels, you’ll unlock the Legend of the East Satchel. This satchel not only increases your ammo capacity but also allows you to carry more of every other item, making it invaluable for long-term survival and exploration.\n\nA common challenge is finding specific animals, especially rare ones like the badger or moose. Use the in-game compendium to track animal locations and behaviors. Additionally, set up camp and sleep until the right time of day when the animals are most active. For example, badgers are nocturnal, so hunt them at night near Bolger Glade or the Heartlands.\n\nFinally, always carry the right weapons and ammo for hunting. Use a Varmint Rifle for small animals like rabbits and squirrels, and a Rolling Block Rifle or Bow for larger game. Stock up on ammo and crafting materials before heading out, as you may need to spend several in-game days hunting. Patience and preparation are key to successfully upgrading your satchel.\n\nIn summary, upgrading your satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires careful planning, hunting, and crafting. Start by unlocking Pearson’s crafting menu, then hunt for perfect pelts to craft each satchel. Focus on rare animals like the panther and cougar, and use the right tools for the job. Once you’ve crafted all satchels, you’ll unlock the Legend of the East Satchel, giving you unparalleled storage capacity for ammo and other items.
