How do I unlock all the satchel upgrades from Pearson?

Unlocking all satchel upgrades from Pearson in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a rewarding process that significantly increases your inventory capacity. Pearson, the camp cook, offers these upgrades through the crafting system, but you must first unlock the Leather Working Tools and gather specific materials. Here’s a detailed guide to help you achieve this.\n\nFirst, you need to unlock the Leather Working Tools. These are available for purchase from the ledger at the camp for $225. The ledger is located near Dutch’s tent and becomes accessible after completing the mission ''Blessed Are the Meek?'' in Chapter 2. Once you’ve purchased the tools, Pearson can craft satchel upgrades for you.\n\nTo craft satchel upgrades, you’ll need to gather specific animal pelts and other materials. Pearson offers seven satchel upgrades, each requiring different combinations of pelts. For example, the Kit Satchel requires one perfect deer pelt, one perfect buck pelt, and one perfect boar pelt. To obtain perfect pelts, you must hunt animals and ensure a clean kill using the appropriate weapon. For deer and bucks, a rifle or bow with improved arrows is ideal. For boars, a rifle or repeater works best.\n\nHunting can be challenging, but there are strategies to improve your success. Use Dead Eye to target vital organs and ensure a clean kill. Study animals with your binoculars to determine their quality before hunting. Perfect pelts come from three-star animals, so focus on those. Common locations for deer and bucks include the forests near Valentine and the Heartlands. Boars can be found in the swamps near Saint Denis or the forests of Big Valley.\n\nOnce you’ve gathered the required materials, return to Pearson at the camp. Interact with him and select the ''Craft'' option to view the available satchel upgrades. Each satchel upgrade increases your carrying capacity for specific items, such as herbs, tonics, or provisions. For example, the Tonics Satchel allows you to carry more health tonics, while the Provisions Satchel increases your food storage.\n\nAfter crafting all seven satchel upgrades, Pearson will offer the Legend of the East Satchel. This ultimate upgrade increases your carrying capacity for all items to 99, making it a game-changer for inventory management. To craft it, you’ll need one perfect panther pelt, which is one of the rarest materials in the game. Panthers can be found in the forests south of Braithwaite Manor, but they are extremely dangerous. Use a rifle with high damage and Dead Eye to ensure a clean kill.\n\nPractical tips for this process include saving your game before hunting rare animals like panthers, as they can be difficult to find and kill. Use bait to lure animals if they are not spawning. Additionally, upgrade your camp to improve Pearson’s crafting efficiency and unlock other useful camp upgrades. Finally, always carry the right weapons for hunting to avoid damaging pelts.\n\nBy following these steps and tips, you can unlock all satchel upgrades from Pearson and significantly enhance your gameplay experience in Red Dead Redemption 2.
