How do you unlock the Horse Fence for selling stolen horses?
Unlocking the Horse Fence in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a key gameplay feature that allows you to sell stolen horses for profit. This feature becomes available during the course of the game''s story, specifically in Chapter 3. To unlock the Horse Fence, you must complete a specific mission called ''Horse Flesh for Dinner,'' which is part of the main storyline. This mission introduces you to the mechanic and sets up the location where you can sell stolen horses.\n\nTo begin, progress through the main story until you reach Chapter 3. During this chapter, you will receive a mission from the gang''s camp leader, Dutch van der Linde. The mission ''Horse Flesh for Dinner'' involves stealing horses from a wealthy family and selling them to a shady character named Clay Davies. This mission serves as the introduction to the Horse Fence mechanic and unlocks the ability to sell stolen horses at the location near Clemens Point.\n\nOnce the mission is completed, the Horse Fence becomes a permanent feature in your gameplay. The location is marked on your map as a small icon near the Rhodes area. You can bring stolen horses here to sell them for a profit. It''s important to note that the Horse Fence only accepts horses that are not bonded with you. This means you cannot sell your own horses or horses you have bonded with. Instead, you must steal horses from NPCs or wild horses and bring them to the fence.\n\nTo maximize your profits, focus on stealing high-quality horses such as Arabians, Thoroughbreds, or other rare breeds. These horses fetch a higher price at the Horse Fence. Additionally, ensure the horse is in good condition before selling it. A horse with low health or stamina will sell for less. You can improve a horse''s condition by feeding it, brushing it, and keeping it calm during the journey to the fence.\n\nOne common challenge players face is avoiding law enforcement while transporting stolen horses. To minimize the risk of being caught, avoid towns and populated areas. Stick to off-road paths and use the cover of forests or hills to remain undetected. If you do attract law enforcement, try to lose them by breaking their line of sight and hiding in bushes or behind large objects.\n\nAnother tip is to use the lasso to quickly tame wild horses. This method is faster than calming a horse and bonding with it. Once you have the horse, immediately ride it to the Horse Fence to avoid complications. If you encounter hostile NPCs while stealing horses, use stealth or non-lethal methods to avoid raising your bounty.\n\nIn summary, unlocking the Horse Fence requires completing the ''Horse Flesh for Dinner'' mission in Chapter 3. Afterward, you can sell stolen horses at the designated location near Rhodes. Focus on stealing high-quality horses, keep them in good condition, and avoid law enforcement to maximize your profits. This mechanic adds a lucrative layer to the game''s economy and provides an engaging way to earn money.
