What is the best way to track the Legendary Coyote?
Hunting the Legendary Coyote in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires preparation, patience, and a solid understanding of the game''s mechanics. The Legendary Coyote is one of the 16 legendary animals in the game, and its pelt and other materials can be used to craft unique items at the Trapper. To begin your hunt, you must first locate the Legendary Coyote''s territory, which is found in Scarlett Meadows, south of Rhodes and east of Braithwaite Manor. Look for the coyote icon on your map, which appears after you''ve discovered the area or received a clue.\n\nBefore heading out, ensure you are well-equipped. A high-powered rifle like the Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle is ideal for taking down the Legendary Coyote in one clean shot. Alternatively, a bow with improved arrows can also work if you prefer stealth. Stock up on health tonics, as the coyote is fast and can deal significant damage if it attacks. Additionally, bring along a horse with good stamina to chase the coyote if it flees.\n\nOnce you arrive in the area, activate Eagle Eye to search for clues. The Legendary Coyote leaves three distinct clues: tracks, fur, and droppings. Follow these clues carefully, as they will lead you closer to the animal. Be cautious, as the coyote is highly alert and will flee if it detects you. Move slowly and use cover to avoid spooking it. If you lose track of the clues, Eagle Eye can help you reorient yourself.\n\nWhen you finally spot the Legendary Coyote, aim for a clean headshot to ensure a quick and humane kill. Missing your shot or hitting it in non-vital areas will cause it to flee, and you''ll need to track it again. If the coyote escapes, don''t worry—it will respawn after a few in-game days. However, persistence is key, as the Legendary Coyote is one of the faster and more elusive animals in the game.\n\nAfter successfully hunting the Legendary Coyote, skin it immediately to collect its pelt and other materials. These can be sold to the Trapper or used to craft unique items like the Legendary Coyote Range Gloves. Be sure to store the pelt on your horse and avoid fast travel, as it can sometimes cause the pelt to disappear. If you encounter any issues, such as the coyote not spawning, try reloading your game or leaving the area and returning later.\n\nFor new players, it''s important to note that legendary animals can only be hunted once per playthrough, so make your shot count. Experienced players can use Dead Eye to ensure precision and increase their chances of a successful hunt. Remember to save your game before attempting the hunt, as this allows you to retry if something goes wrong. With the right preparation and strategy, the Legendary Coyote hunt can be a rewarding and memorable experience in Red Dead Redemption 2.
