Where can I find the Trapper to craft unique outfits?
The Trapper is a key NPC in Red Dead Redemption 2 who allows you to craft unique outfits, gear, and accessories using animal pelts and other materials. To find the Trapper, you need to visit one of his several locations scattered across the map. The most accessible Trapper location for new players is in Saint Denis, the bustling city in the southeastern part of the map. You can also find him in the wilderness near Riggs Station, northwest of Blackwater, and in the Grizzlies East region near O''Creagh''s Run.\n\nTo craft unique outfits, you must first hunt specific animals and gather their pelts. The quality of the pelt matters, so aim for perfect pelts by using the right weapon and targeting vital organs. For example, to get a perfect deer pelt, use a rifle or bow with improved arrows and aim for the head or heart. Once you have the required pelts, visit the Trapper and interact with him to access his crafting menu.\n\nThe Trapper offers a variety of unique outfits, each requiring specific materials. For instance, the Legendary Bear Head Hat requires the pelt of the Legendary Bear, which you can hunt during the mission ''Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego.'' Other outfits, like the Bison Gambler''s Hat, require perfect bison pelts, which can be found in the Great Plains or Heartlands. Always check the crafting requirements before hunting to ensure you gather the correct materials.\n\nOne common challenge players face is locating the Trapper in the wilderness. If you''re having trouble finding him, use your map and look for the paw print icon, which marks his location. Additionally, the Trapper''s inventory is shared across all locations, so you can drop off pelts at one location and craft items at another. This is particularly useful if you''re far from a specific Trapper but need to craft an item urgently.\n\nAnother tip is to store pelts on your horse if you''re unable to reach the Trapper immediately. Pelts stored on your horse will remain there until you sell or use them, but be cautious of losing them if your horse dies or you fast travel. To avoid losing valuable pelts, prioritize visiting the Trapper after a successful hunt.\n\nFor experienced players, the Trapper also offers upgraded satchels, which increase your carrying capacity for items like herbs, tonics, and ammunition. These satchels require perfect pelts from rare animals, such as the panther or cougar, so be prepared for challenging hunts. Always save your game before attempting to hunt dangerous animals to avoid losing progress.\n\nIn summary, the Trapper is essential for crafting unique outfits and gear in Red Dead Redemption 2. Visit his locations in Saint Denis, Riggs Station, or the Grizzlies East to access his crafting menu. Hunt specific animals for perfect pelts, and always check the requirements for each outfit. Use your map to locate the Trapper and store pelts on your horse if needed. With these tips, you''ll be able to craft the best outfits and upgrades in the game.
