Where can I find perfect pelts for crafting the Legend of the East satchel?
To craft the Legend of the East satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need perfect pelts from specific animals. The satchel requires seven perfect pelts, each from a different animal: deer, buck, badger, squirrel, rabbit, beaver, and iguana. Obtaining perfect pelts requires careful hunting, the right tools, and knowledge of animal locations.\n\nFirst, you need the right equipment. A rifle or bow is essential for larger animals like deer and buck, while a varmint rifle is ideal for smaller animals like rabbits and squirrels. Always aim for a clean, one-shot kill to ensure the pelt remains perfect. Use Dead Eye to target vital areas like the head or heart. Additionally, equip the Buck Antler Trinket, which increases the chances of obtaining perfect pelts even if your shot isn’t perfect.\n\nFor deer and buck, head to the Heartlands or Big Valley. These areas are teeming with deer and buck, especially near water sources. Use a rifle with high-velocity ammo for a clean kill. For badgers, check the areas around Rhodes or the Heartlands at night, as badgers are nocturnal. Use a varmint rifle to avoid damaging the pelt.\n\nSquirrels and rabbits are common throughout the map, but the forests near Valentine and the Heartlands are particularly good spots. Use a varmint rifle and aim for the head. Beavers can be found near water sources like the Dakota River or Owanjila Lake. Use a varmint rifle and approach quietly to avoid scaring them.\n\nIguanas are unique as they are only found on the islands west of Rhodes. You’ll need a boat to reach these islands. Once there, use a small game arrow or varmint rifle to hunt them. Be patient, as iguanas are small and can be hard to spot.\n\nCommon challenges include scaring animals or damaging pelts. To avoid this, use cover scent lotion to mask your scent and crouch while approaching animals. Always study the animal first to determine its quality. If it’s not a three-star animal, don’t waste your time. Use binoculars to scout from a distance and plan your approach.\n\nFinally, store your pelts on your horse and take them to Pearson at camp. He will craft the satchel once you have all the required pelts. Remember, the Legend of the East satchel significantly increases your carrying capacity, making it worth the effort.\n\nPractical tips: Always save your game before hunting in case something goes wrong. Use Dead Eye to ensure a clean kill, and don’t rush your shots. If an animal runs, track it using Eagle Eye to avoid losing it. With patience and the right strategy, you’ll have all the perfect pelts you need for the Legend of the East satchel.
