What’s the quickest way to complete the "Hunting Requests" achievement for all five requests?

The ''Hunting Requests'' achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to complete all five hunting requests from the Stranger mission ''The Noblest of Men, and a Woman.'' These requests involve hunting and delivering specific animals in perfect condition. To complete this achievement quickly, you need to plan ahead, understand the game''s hunting mechanics, and know where to find the required animals.\n\nFirst, you must unlock the Hunting Requests by finding the poster in Valentine, Rhodes, or Saint Denis. Once you pick up the poster, you can start the quest. Each request requires you to hunt specific animals, and they must be in perfect condition. This means you need to use the correct weapon and aim for a clean kill. For small animals like birds or squirrels, use the Varmint Rifle or Small Game Arrows. For larger animals, use a rifle or bow with improved arrows.\n\nTo ensure the animals are in perfect condition, study them with your binoculars or aim at them with your weapon. This will reveal their star rating. Only three-star animals will yield perfect pelts or carcasses. If you accidentally damage the animal, reload your save to avoid wasting time. Always save your game before attempting to hunt a rare animal.\n\nFor the first request, you need a perfect rabbit, squirrel, and small bird carcass. Rabbits are common in the Heartlands, while squirrels can be found in wooded areas like Big Valley. Small birds, such as sparrows or robins, are often seen near water sources like rivers or lakes. Use the Varmint Rifle for rabbits and squirrels, and Small Game Arrows for birds.\n\nThe second request requires a perfect opossum, woodpecker, and rat. Opossums are nocturnal, so hunt them at night in areas like Lemoyne. Woodpeckers are found in forests, and rats are common in urban areas like Saint Denis. Use the Varmint Rifle for opossums and rats, and Small Game Arrows for woodpeckers.\n\nThe third request involves a perfect skunk, toad, and bat. Skunks are found in grassy areas like Big Valley, toads near water sources, and bats in caves like Elysian Pool. Use the Varmint Rifle for skunks and toads, and Small Game Arrows for bats.\n\nThe fourth request requires a perfect cardinal, chipmunk, and frog. Cardinals are found in forests, chipmunks in wooded areas, and frogs near water. Use Small Game Arrows for all three.\n\nThe final request is the most challenging, requiring a perfect oriole, robin, and blue jay. These birds are rare and often found in specific locations. Orioles are common in Tall Trees, robins near rivers, and blue jays in forests. Use Small Game Arrows and be patient, as these birds can be difficult to spot.\n\nTo speed up the process, use Dead Eye to target small animals accurately. Equip the Buck Antler Trinket, which increases the chance of obtaining perfect pelts. If you''re struggling to find a specific animal, consult the in-game compendium for hints on their habitats.\n\nFinally, store the carcasses in your satchel or on your horse, and deliver them to the post office. Once all five requests are completed, the achievement will unlock. This process can take several hours, but with careful planning and patience, you can complete it efficiently.
