How do I unlock the Legend of the East satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2?

The Legend of the East satchel is one of the most sought-after items in Red Dead Redemption 2, offering the ability to carry 99 of each item type. To unlock it, you must craft all other satchels at Pearson''s crafting station in camp. This requires gathering specific animal pelts and materials, which can be time-consuming but highly rewarding.\n\nFirst, you need to unlock the crafting feature by completing the mission ''Money Lending and Other Sins - II'' in Chapter 2. After this, Pearson will allow you to craft satchels at his station. There are six satchels to craft before the Legend of the East becomes available: the Tonics Satchel, Ingredients Satchel, Kit Satchel, Provisions Satchel, Materials Satchel, and Valuables Satchel. Each requires perfect pelts from specific animals.\n\nTo craft the Tonics Satchel, you need a perfect deer pelt and a perfect buck pelt. Deer are common in areas like Big Valley and the Heartlands, while bucks can be found in similar regions. Use a rifle with a clean headshot to ensure a perfect pelt. For the Ingredients Satchel, you need a perfect badger pelt and a perfect squirrel pelt. Badgers are often found near Bolger Glade, and squirrels are abundant in wooded areas like Tall Trees.\n\nThe Kit Satchel requires a perfect elk pelt and a perfect panther pelt. Elk are found in the Grizzlies and Cumberland Forest, while panthers are rare and only appear in the woods south of Braithwaite Manor. Use a bow with improved arrows for the panther to secure a perfect pelt. The Provisions Satchel needs a perfect bison pelt and a perfect iguana pelt. Bison roam the Great Plains, and iguanas can be found on the islands west of Clemens Point.\n\nFor the Materials Satchel, you need a perfect beaver pelt and a perfect rabbit pelt. Beavers are found near water sources like Owanjila Lake, and rabbits are common in open fields. The Valuables Satchel requires a perfect cougar pelt and a perfect wolf pelt. Cougars are found in the Grizzlies and near Annesburg, while wolves roam the northern regions of the map.\n\nOnce all six satchels are crafted, the Legend of the East satchel becomes available. It requires one perfect panther pelt, one perfect bison pelt, and $22.50. This satchel significantly increases your inventory capacity, making it invaluable for long-term gameplay.\n\nA common challenge is finding perfect pelts. Always use the right weapon for the animal and aim for headshots. Study animals with your binoculars to identify their quality before hunting. If you struggle to find specific animals, use bait or wait at their spawn locations during the right time of day.\n\nPractical tips: Save your game before hunting rare animals like panthers or cougars to avoid losing progress. Use Dead Eye to ensure clean kills. Upgrade your camp''s provisions to unlock better crafting materials. Finally, prioritize hunting during the early chapters to maximize the benefits of the Legend of the East satchel throughout the game.
