How do I unlock and upgrade the Hunting Wagon?

The Hunting Wagon is a valuable tool in Red Dead Online, allowing players to store and transport large quantities of animal carcasses and pelts. To unlock and upgrade the Hunting Wagon, you must first reach Rank 10 in the Trader Role, which is part of the Frontier Pursuits update. The Trader Role is unlocked by purchasing the Butcher''s Table from Cripps at your camp, which costs 15 Gold Bars. Once you have the Butcher''s Table, you can start building your Trader business by hunting animals and donating their pelts and carcasses to Cripps.\n\nTo progress in the Trader Role, you need to complete Supply Missions and Resupply Missions, which are essential for generating Goods. These Goods are then sold to buyers, earning you money and Trader XP. As you level up in the Trader Role, you will unlock the Hunting Wagon at Rank 10. The Hunting Wagon can be purchased from the Wilderness Outfitters catalog at your camp or directly from the Stable for $875. It is a significant investment, but it greatly enhances your hunting efficiency.\n\nOnce you own the Hunting Wagon, you can summon it from the Player Menu under the Vehicles section. The wagon can store up to five large carcasses or pelts, or a combination of both. This makes it ideal for hunting trips where you want to maximize your haul. However, the Hunting Wagon is not indestructible. If it takes too much damage, it will be destroyed, and you will lose its contents. To avoid this, drive carefully and avoid hostile areas where NPCs or other players might attack you.\n\nUpgrading the Hunting Wagon is not possible in terms of storage capacity, but you can improve its durability and appearance. The Brawny Build upgrade, available at Rank 10, increases the wagon''s durability, making it more resistant to damage. This upgrade costs $350 and is worth the investment if you frequently hunt in dangerous areas. Additionally, you can customize the Hunting Wagon''s appearance with different paint jobs and lanterns, which are purely cosmetic but allow you to personalize your wagon.\n\nA common challenge players face is managing the Hunting Wagon''s limited storage. To maximize efficiency, prioritize hunting large animals like deer, elk, and bears, as their pelts and carcasses provide the most materials for Cripps. Smaller animals, like rabbits and birds, can be stored in your satchel and donated separately. Another tip is to hunt in areas with high animal density, such as Big Valley or the Heartlands, to minimize travel time between kills.\n\nIn summary, unlocking and upgrading the Hunting Wagon requires progressing through the Trader Role, completing missions, and investing in-game currency. Once unlocked, the Hunting Wagon is a game-changer for hunters, allowing you to store and transport large quantities of materials. Drive carefully to avoid losing your haul, and consider upgrading the wagon''s durability for added protection. With these tips, you can make the most of your Hunting Wagon and dominate the Trader Role in Red Dead Online.
