How do I unlock all satchel upgrades in RDR2?

Unlocking all satchel upgrades in Red Dead Redemption 2 is essential for maximizing your inventory capacity and improving your overall gameplay experience. Satchels allow you to carry more items, such as herbs, provisions, and crafting materials, which are crucial for survival and completing challenges. To unlock all satchel upgrades, you must complete the ''Lote Satchel,'' which requires crafting all other satchels first. This process involves hunting specific animals, gathering materials, and working with Pearson at your camp.\n\nTo begin, you need to progress through the story until Chapter 2, when Pearson, the camp cook, becomes available for crafting upgrades. Speak to him at the camp to unlock the ''Leather Working Tools'' for $225. This purchase is mandatory, as it enables Pearson to craft satchels. Once you have the tools, you can start hunting for the required animal pelts and materials. Each satchel requires perfect pelts from specific animals, so you''ll need to hunt carefully and use the right weapons to avoid damaging the pelts.\n\nThere are seven satchels in total, each requiring different materials. For example, the ''Tonico Satchel'' requires a perfect deer pelt, while the ''Materials Satchel'' needs a perfect badger pelt. To obtain perfect pelts, you must study animals with your binoculars to identify their quality (poor, good, or perfect). Use the appropriate weapon for each animal—such as a bow with small game arrows for small animals or a rifle for larger ones—to ensure a clean kill. Headshots are highly recommended to preserve the pelt''s quality.\n\nSome animals, like the badger or panther, can be challenging to find. For badgers, check areas like Bolger Glade or the Heartlands during nighttime. Panthers, required for the ''Legend of the East Satchel,'' are found in the woods southeast of Braithwaite Manor. Use predator bait to lure them out, but be prepared for a dangerous encounter. Once you have all the required pelts, return to Pearson and craft each satchel in the correct order. The final satchel, the ''Lote Satchel,'' will unlock after crafting the previous six.\n\nA common challenge is finding specific animals or obtaining perfect pelts. If you''re struggling, use the in-game compendium to track animal locations and behaviors. Additionally, invest in the ''Buck Antler Trinket,'' which increases the chances of obtaining perfect pelts. This trinket is crafted by bringing a perfect buck pelt and a legendary buck antler to a Fence. Patience and persistence are key, as some animals may take time to spawn.\n\nOnce you''ve unlocked the ''Lote Satchel,'' you''ll have 99 inventory slots for most items, making resource management much easier. This upgrade is particularly useful for completing challenges, crafting tonics, and stocking up on provisions for long journeys. Remember to save your game frequently while hunting to avoid losing progress if something goes wrong. With all satchel upgrades, you''ll be well-equipped to tackle the challenges of the Wild West.\n\nPractical tips: Always carry the right weapons for hunting, use bait to lure rare animals, and study the compendium for animal locations. Focus on upgrading your satchel early in the game to benefit from increased inventory space throughout your playthrough. Happy hunting!
