Which animals are required to craft the Improved Campfire upgrade?
The Improved Campfire upgrade in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a valuable addition to your camp, allowing you to craft more advanced items and cook better meals. To craft this upgrade, you will need specific animal materials, which require hunting and skinning certain animals. The key animals required are the Buck and the Beaver. Each animal provides unique materials that are essential for the upgrade.\n\nFirst, you will need a Perfect Buck Pelt. Bucks are commonly found in forested areas such as Big Valley, Cumberland Forest, and the area around Valentine. To obtain a Perfect Buck Pelt, you must hunt a Buck with a three-star rating. Use a rifle or a bow with improved arrows to ensure a clean kill, as using the wrong weapon can damage the pelt. Once you have the Perfect Buck Pelt, store it on your horse and bring it back to camp.\n\nNext, you will need a Perfect Beaver Pelt. Beavers are typically found near water sources, such as the banks of the Kamassa River near Butcher Creek or the area around Owanjila Lake. Like the Buck, you must hunt a three-star Beaver to obtain a Perfect Pelt. Use a varmint rifle for a clean kill, as this weapon is specifically designed for small game. After skinning the Beaver, store the pelt on your horse and return to camp.\n\nOnce you have both pelts, head to your camp and interact with the ledger near Dutch''s tent. Purchase the Leather Working Tools from the ledger for $225. These tools are required to craft the Improved Campfire upgrade. After purchasing the tools, speak with Pearson, the camp''s cook, to access the crafting menu. Select the Improved Campfire upgrade and provide the Perfect Buck Pelt and Perfect Beaver Pelt to complete the upgrade.\n\nA common challenge players face is finding three-star animals. To increase your chances, use Dead Eye to study animals from a distance and identify their quality. Additionally, applying cover scent lotion and wearing appropriate clothing can help you get closer to animals without spooking them. If you are struggling to find Beavers, try visiting Owanjila Lake at dawn or dusk, as these are peak activity times for Beavers.\n\nIn summary, crafting the Improved Campfire upgrade requires a Perfect Buck Pelt and a Perfect Beaver Pelt. Hunt these animals using the correct weapons to ensure clean kills, and bring the pelts back to camp. Purchase the Leather Working Tools from the ledger and speak with Pearson to complete the upgrade. With the Improved Campfire, you can unlock new crafting recipes and improve your camp''s functionality, making it a worthwhile investment for any player.
