I even get sidetracked from the side missions. Hunting is the worst, I know the skins are worth jack shit compared to story missions and other things, but I just gotta get that perfect pelt anytime I see one.

The fishing mission is late in Chapter 2. I wouldn't worry yet.

I got the last satchel Pearson makes just at the end of Chapter 2, and it has made playing so much better. I don't have to worry about my tonics being limited at the cost of space for valuables or other crafting materials or hair pomade, I pick up whatever I want and go on my merry way.

I think I may have killed a hooker.

For beating up a digital suffragette in a video game where you can kill humans and animals at will. It's just kids on college campuses.

Let's keep the video game threads out of the politics section.

Thank you. It wasn't anything extravagant. I just blew her head off at the bar.

It's actually not as daunting a task as you think. Every satchel he makes requires a perfect deer pelt and one other pelt, I think, so that really limits the varied amount of pelts you need to find. Three of the animals whose pelts you need have nests surrounding the campsite in Chapter 2 (Badger, Squirrel and Raccoon, I believe), and a few others cluster around Lake Owanjila to the West of Strawberry.

The toughest time I had was in understanding how weapon/ammo and animal type come together to determine pelt quality. Took me forever to figure out how to make Small Game Arrows and to realize I actually needed the Varmint Rifle. But once you have those down as well as a grasp of using Eagle and Dead Eye to hunt, it shouldn't be that bad. The extra space is definitely worth it.

Got the guide book yesterday. Holy shit, it's bigger than a law school text book. Started reading it yesterday, already finding some interesting stuff in there I didn't know about in terms of just the basic controls.

Seeing the mission structure flow chart helps a lot. Now I can tell how much more I have to do in chapter 2.

Took a quick glace at the maps in the book that show all the collectible locations. Holy shit, there's like a million of them. Not gonna use the guide for that as I'm gonna try to find stuff organically first, but just seeing the sheer number of stuff to find is quite impressive.


Later today I'm gonna tackle the mission with Javiar. It's the only mission I have left that's available, but I see that I should've done it earlier cause it should trigger a few other chapter 2 missions.

If Micah's mission in Chapter 2 is up be sure to do it. It gives you an extra holster so you can dual wield pistols and small shotguns.

I did not know any of that. You've been helpful. I won't wish you to DIAF for at least the next week. Thanks.

still taking my time through Chapter 2. Not getting a lot of playtime this week with work, hockey and my obsession with watching college and NBA basketball. Been reading the book, lots of good info in there.


Do you guys know if you can get credit for doing challenges out or order or do you need to complete each stage before getting credit for things you do relating to different stages? For instance, I'm in challeng 2 of the Gambler, I think it has to do with the 5 finger game. Later on there is a gambler challenge where you have to bust out a poker player at 3 different locations. If I go play poker now and bust someone out do I get challenge credit for that or do I have to first complete all the stages that come before the poker bust out stage?

I think it needs to be done in order based on my lack of progression on new tasks I'm pretty sure I would have previously done

Made my way to chapter 3 last night. But, still haven't crafted anything or done any real hunting or fishing. I did go out and buy the varmit rifle so gonna take a break from the story and try and get a bunch of perfect pelts so I can start crafting some things.


Here is a question: To craft stuff do I need to first donate the supplies to Pearson at camp or do I need to keep the stuff in my possession to craft?

_________________

You need to donate the pelt to Pearson first, then it will be available to use in crafting. The guide you bought should have a nifty chart that shows you what kind of weapon you need to use for each pelt. I recommend going to the big lake West of Strawberry. It's where you'll be able to find smatterings of a bunch of animal types you need. But watch out, the Elk will charge you.

got into some hunting this weekend. Crafted an upgraded satchel. Been playing a month and still haven't been to St. Denis.

next up I'm gonna try and find an Arabian horse.

The hunting has really side tracked me. Just need to go grab the cougar pelt though and I’ll be done with the satchels and then I’ll progress the story. Or I’ll go hunt all the legendaries and make the trapper gear.

I can't get a perfect Panther pelt. The only place I can find them...every time it is only one Panther and it is a 1* or 2* Panther, and I never get the lucky upgrade to 3* pelt from the trinket.

I went looking for the Arabian and screwed it up. Treked out to the far northwest corner of the map. Got there and immediately ran face to face with a 3 star moose so I decided to kill it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the Arabian in the distance running around. Killed the moose, tagged and bagged the pelt and then turned around to find the Arabian and it was gone. Looked everywhere in the area, nothing.

drove all the way back to camp and dropped off the pelt.

Question about hunting.....

Can i only store one pelt at a time on my horse? If so, is there anyway to work around that or do you have to return back to camp every time you have a perfect pelt? Is there a faster way to get to camp? I can fast travel from camp to places that are close to hunting grounds, but to get back it's a 10 minute ride sometimes. Anyway to do that quicker that I'm not thinking of?

_________________

You can only store one 'big' pelt on your horse at a time. I believe you can store unlimited pelts of the ones that you unfold and lay out as 'blankets' on the rump of your horse. You can take a stage or train back to a town near your current camp. Since pelts count as "horse storage" you shouldn't lose them as your horse comes with you back to where you travel to.

I personally just go to cinematic camera and auto-follow the trail back to camp. I try to remain close to the controller in case a random event pops up.

You can also steal a second horse while hunting it to carry two large animals or carcasses. Your owned horse will follow your whistle while you ride the stolen one. Kind of a pain but I did it once when some guy mouthed off to me when I said hello and I antagonized back and he pulled s gun.

I guess I should stop head shotting all the horses after I rob and murder their riders. Been killing the horses too so I can loot the saddle bags easy and also cause I'm allergic to horses so fuck them.

This seems to be my cougar situation as well

gonna try and load up on deer pelts, seems like you need a lot of those for crafting.


you guys tried online yet? Online isn't for me, but it sounds pretty cool. Know some guys on a different site who are putting together a posse tonight to go rob a train. Also heard that if you kill or get killed by the same person 3 times online the game forces the two of you to have a parlay. how funny is that?
