Where can I find perfect pelts for crafting high-tier outfits?

To craft high-tier outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need perfect pelts, which are obtained by hunting animals with a three-star rating. The quality of the pelt depends on the animal''s condition, the weapon used, and the precision of your shot. Always aim for a clean kill to preserve the pelt''s quality. Use the right weapon for each animal type: small animals like rabbits require a Varmint Rifle, while larger animals like deer or bears need a rifle or bow with improved arrows.\n\nTo find perfect pelts, you must first locate three-star animals. These are more common in specific regions of the map. For example, the forests near Valentine and Big Valley are excellent for deer and elk, while the swamps of Lemoyne are ideal for alligators and boars. Use your binoculars or Eagle Eye ability to study animals from a distance and identify their star rating before engaging. This saves time and ensures you only hunt high-quality targets.\n\nOnce you''ve located a three-star animal, approach it carefully to avoid spooking it. Crouch and move slowly, using cover like trees or rocks to stay hidden. Wind direction also matters, as animals can smell you if you''re upwind. Check the wind indicator on your mini-map and adjust your approach accordingly. For long-range shots, use Dead Eye to ensure a clean, one-hit kill. Aim for the head or heart to maximize your chances of preserving the pelt''s quality.\n\nAfter successfully hunting a three-star animal, skin it immediately to collect the perfect pelt. Store the pelt on your horse, but be cautious: pelts can degrade if your horse is injured or if you fast travel. To avoid losing valuable pelts, prioritize delivering them to a Trapper or Camp as soon as possible. The Trapper can craft unique outfits, while Pearson at your camp can upgrade satchels and other items.\n\nSome animals are more challenging to hunt, such as cougars, panthers, or legendary animals. These require advanced strategies and better weapons. For example, the Florida Panther, found south of Rhodes, is one of the most dangerous animals in the game. Use a Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle with high-velocity ammo to take it down efficiently. Legendary animals, marked by golden paw prints on the map, always yield perfect pelts, but they are tougher to kill and require careful preparation.\n\nA common challenge is maintaining the pelt''s quality during transport. If you die or your horse is killed, the pelt will be lost. To mitigate this, save your game frequently and avoid dangerous areas like gang hideouts or predator-infested regions. Additionally, consider using the Hunting Wagon from the Trader role in Red Dead Online, which allows you to store multiple pelts safely.\n\nFinally, remember that some outfits require specific pelts from rare animals. For example, the Legendary Bear Coat requires the pelt of the Legendary Bear, found near the Grizzlies East region. Plan your hunts carefully and use the in-game compendium to track animal locations and behaviors. With patience and practice, you''ll master the art of hunting and crafting the best outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2.
