How do I unlock the Trapper’s outfits?

Unlocking the Trapper’s outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a rewarding but time-intensive process that requires hunting specific animals and gathering their pelts. The Trapper is a unique vendor who crafts special outfits, hats, and accessories using perfect pelts and other materials. To unlock these outfits, you must first locate the Trapper, hunt the required animals, and deliver the pelts to him. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, including tips for efficient hunting and overcoming common challenges.\n\nFirst, you need to find the Trapper. There are several Trapper locations across the map, including one near Saint Denis, another in the wilderness west of Strawberry, and one near Riggs Station. These locations are marked on your map with a paw print icon. Once you’ve located the Trapper, interact with him to view his catalog of outfits. Each outfit requires specific pelts, such as perfect deer pelts, wolf pelts, or even rare pelts like the legendary panther pelt. Note that some outfits require multiple pelts from the same animal or pelts from different animals.\n\nTo hunt the required animals, you’ll need the right tools and strategies. Use a rifle or bow for larger animals like deer, elk, or bears, and a varmint rifle or small game arrows for smaller animals like rabbits or raccoons. Always aim for a clean kill to ensure the pelt remains in perfect condition. A headshot with the appropriate weapon is usually the best way to achieve this. For legendary animals, which are required for some outfits, you’ll need to track them using your Eagle Eye ability and prepare for a tougher fight. Legendary animals are marked on your map once you’ve discovered their clues.\n\nOne common challenge is finding specific animals, especially rare ones like the panther or moose. For example, the panther can be found in the woods south of Braithwaite Manor, but it only spawns at night. Use cover scent lotion to avoid being detected and approach slowly. For moose, check the northern regions of the map, such as near Lake Isabella or Cairn Lake. Patience is key, as some animals may take time to spawn. If you’re struggling, try setting up camp nearby and sleeping to reset the area’s wildlife.\n\nOnce you’ve gathered the required pelts, return to the Trapper to craft your desired outfit. Keep in mind that some outfits require additional materials, such as feathers or claws, which can be obtained by hunting birds or predators. The Trapper will store any pelts you bring him, so you don’t need to carry them all at once. This is especially useful for larger animals like bears or bison, whose pelts take up significant space on your horse.\n\nFinally, here are some practical tips for unlocking Trapper outfits efficiently. First, always carry the right weapons for hunting and keep them clean to ensure accurate shots. Second, use your Horse’s cargo space wisely by prioritizing larger pelts and storing smaller items in your satchel. Third, plan your hunting trips by focusing on specific animals and regions to save time. Lastly, don’t forget to upgrade your satchel at Pearson’s camp to carry more materials, as this will make the process smoother.\n\nBy following these steps and tips, you’ll be able to unlock the Trapper’s unique outfits and enjoy the benefits of their special bonuses, such as increased stamina or improved weather resistance. Happy hunting!
