How do you complete the Survivalist Challenge 7 quickly?
Survivalist Challenge 7 in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to catch one of each type of small fish in the game. This includes the Bluegill, Bullhead Catfish, Chain Pickerel, Perch, and Rock Bass. To complete this challenge quickly, you need to know the best fishing spots, the right bait, and the mechanics of fishing in the game.\n\nFirst, equip your fishing rod, which can be obtained during the mission ''A Fisher of Men'' in Chapter 2. You will also need the correct bait. For small fish, use bread, cheese, or corn bait, which can be purchased from general stores or crafted. Bread is particularly effective and easy to obtain.\n\nNext, head to the best fishing locations. The Dakota River near Cumberland Forest is an excellent spot for Bluegill and Perch. The Kamassa River near Rhodes is ideal for Bullhead Catfish and Rock Bass. For Chain Pickerel, try the waters around Flat Iron Lake or the Dakota River. These locations are reliable and often yield the fish you need.\n\nWhen fishing, cast your line into the water and wait for a bite. Small fish tend to bite quickly, so be ready to reel in. Use the left stick to move your lure slightly and attract fish. Once a fish bites, press the right stick to hook it, then rotate the right stick to reel it in. Be careful not to reel too fast, as this can cause the line to break.\n\nA common challenge is identifying the fish you catch. To avoid confusion, pay attention to the fish''s appearance. Bluegill are small and have a blue tint, Bullhead Catfish are dark with whiskers, Chain Pickerel are long and slender, Perch have stripes, and Rock Bass are brownish with red eyes. If you catch the wrong fish, release it and try again.\n\nTo save time, focus on one type of fish at a time. For example, start with Bluegill at the Dakota River, then move to the Kamassa River for Bullhead Catfish. This method prevents unnecessary travel and ensures you stay organized. Additionally, use Eagle Eye to spot fish in the water, which helps you target the right species.\n\nFinally, remember that weather and time of day can affect fishing. Overcast days and early mornings are often the best times to fish. If you''re struggling to catch a specific fish, try changing your bait or moving to a different spot along the river.\n\nIn summary, to complete Survivalist Challenge 7 quickly, equip the right bait, visit the best fishing spots, and focus on one type of fish at a time. Use Eagle Eye to identify fish and adjust your strategy based on the weather and time of day. With patience and practice, you''ll catch all five small fish and complete the challenge efficiently.
