Summary

• Hunting in Red Dead Redemption 2 is interactive and vast, with animals to kill, skin, and sell for resources.
• Some animals, like the Little Brown Bat, are rare and tricky to find, requiring specific locations and techniques.
• Understanding where to find animals in the game makes hunting less frustrating and contributes to achievements/trophies.

One of the most interactive activities you can do in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Red Dead Redemption 2 is hunting in its vast wilderness. As most players notice in their first few minutes of open-world exploring, this game's map is teeming with a wide variety of animals that can all be killed, skinned for pelts, sold for meat, and sometimes plucked for feathers.

However, there are maജny animals in the game that are either tough to locate, or incredibly dangerous to hunt. No matter which animal you decide to take on, you should fully understand where each of these animals is located, as it will make hunting these creatures a lot less frustrating.

Animals exclusively found in Guarma ๊will not be included as they are not needed for achievements/trophies.

Updated April 11, 2024, by Dominic Allen: Red Dead Redemption 2 has dozens of animals to discover and the thing is you don't just hunt them for bragging rights. You must study and skin nearly all the animals for achievements/trophies, and some of them are ridiculously hard to find. There were definitely some big omissions previously, and some added details could have been put in. With Red Dead 2 still being incredibly popular, an update was needed.

13 🌟 Little Brown Bat 🌳

The Most Elusive Small Game

One of the rarer and more annoying animals to find is the Little Brown Bat. To complete all the hunting requests, you'll need a perfect Bat carcass, and there are two big spots you should look for.

One is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the hidden Elysian Pool caves at night, where you should spot some Bats. They're hanging on top from the sort of window to the outside of the caves.

Another great place is south of Moonstone Pond, where you can find a destroyed house with Bats in it. Due to their location, it's nearly impossible to get a stealthy kill on them, so you're best off spooking them, quickly finding the three-star Bat, activating Deadeye, and killing it with a small game arrow.

12 🔯 Virginia Opossum 🧸

The Nighttime Exclusive Marsupial

There are a c🀅ouple of animals you can only find at night, and one of the more tricky has to be a Virginia Opossum. Unlike most other hard-to-find animals, you can spot an Opossum in a variety of places, from Little Creek River to Lagras to Ringneck Creek.

You'll likely be able to find an Opossum in most places at night, but it's still hard to spot because there's not a lot of consistent spawn locations like there are with another more deadly nighttime-only animal.

Make sure to use a Varmint Rifle, as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it's the best weapon here, and aim ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚfor the head if you 🦋want that three-star pelt or carcass.

11 Sonoran Desertꦦ Toad

An Animal You Have To Use A Guide For

After completing Arthur Morgan's section, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:you switch protagonists and unlock two big areas of the game map. In New Austin, you can find some exclusive animals to that region, and the one that's nearly impossible to spot on your own has to be the Sonoran Desert Toad.

The location it's at is a spot that basically nobody would look for. Between the B and R in Rio Bravo, head south until you reach a small island close to the New Austin shoreline.

You'll likely have to use your horse to get across. Once there, you'll spot tons of Sonoran Desert Toads. Why in the world couldn't Rockstar put some up north instead of this small tucked-away corner of the map?

10 Iguana

The Sneaky Reptile

♎Even though Red Dead Redemption 2 is set far from the tropics, the invasive Iguana species can be found in one small spot on the game map. Travel to Rhodes, then head due west ꦉuntil you reach Flat Iron Lake.

There is a large, hook-shaped island directly across the water. Swimming to this place from the mainland may stretch your horse's stamina to its limit so make sure to choose the most direct route possible.

The bright green Iguanas will b൩e pretty easy to spot. Mostly, they gather in twos or threes near the waterline.

Use the Varmint Rifle for a clean kill and, for a perfect pelt, it's best to shoot the Iguana in the head. Grab as many skins as possible to maximize your crafting potential.

9 Muskrat

Quite A Bit Harder To Find Than The Regular Rats

The Muskrat is easy to find only if you know where to look. Though they can be found in several areas across the game map,🧔 their small size makes them difficult to spot.

You also need the right equipment to get one of the many perfect Muskrat pelts that are required for uniꦐque items from the Trapper.

Always look for Muskrats along the edge of rivers or lakes. One of the most com🎐mon places to find them is along Dewberry Creek, or even along the river that leads into Owanjila Lake.

They look like tiny brown Rabbits or Squirrels that can be easily missed or 𝓰completely ignored. To get a c𒅌lean kill, use the Varmint Rifle, and try to get a headshot if possible.

8 Squirrel

Such A Tiny Head To Aim For

You may think a Squirrel would be incredibly easy to hunt, but that's far from the case, especially if you want that perfect pelt. While the Squirrel will certainly never harm anyone, this animal is incredibly tricky to hunt down, due to its size and skittish behavior.

Furthermore, since larger bullets may completely ruin the animal's pelt, you will need to ensure that you always aim for the head whenever you spot one of these anxious critters. The best way to hunt Squirrels is to lure them out of their trees and towards you, by using the correct bait and lying in wait to ambush them.

7 🐻 Silver Foxไ

An Uncommon Fox Type

Silver Foxes are tough to spot because they're small and always travel completely alone. Plus, they're skittish, so they'll run and hide as soon as they detect an approaching player.

There are two approaches to hunting the Silver 🍰Fox: either charge it on horseback before it can run away or use some cover scent lotion and stalk it.

To get a perfect pelt, use a repeater and shoot the Fox in one of its red 'critical' zones. Perfect Fox pelts from the rare Silver Fox are used to craft many unique apparel items at the Trapper.

6 Moose

The Hardest To Find Animal In The Game

By far, the hardest to spawn animal in Red Dead 2, has to be the Moose or Western Bull Moose. This solitary, majestic animal can be found in several smౠall spots across the map🦩.

The first area is on the edge of O'Creagh's Run. The Moose likes to swim across this small lake, so to spot it, grab your binoculars, and sit on top of the middle island.

Another prime Moose location is northeast of Donner Falls in the Grizzlies East, specifically next to the 'I' in Ambarino on the game map. It actually spawns high up in an out-of-bounds area, so spook him first to make him come down. Use a powerful scoped rifle if you want a clean kill; a Moose is tough to take down with a single shot and may charge directly at you when injured.

5 Bald Eagle ꦬ

One You Don't Want To Shoot Over A Flowing River

Eagle feathers can be used to craft several unique trinkets and accessories. They're a lot harder to track because, obviously, they can either be on the ground or in the sky.

Luckily a clean kill isn't required to get an Eagle feather. However, using a Varmint Rifle from a distance will increase the chances of getting more than a single feather from this bird.

One of the Bald Eagle's most frequent spawn locations is on the bridge of Bard's Crossing. Try not to let the bird take flight before shooting; it's a long way down from the top of the bridge to the river below.

Good luck finding the Eagle's carcass in there.

4 ꧙ American Robin ꦑ

These Small Birds Are The Worst

If you think some of the smaller animals in the game are hard to hunt down, then you clearly have never encountered an American Robin. These classic red birds are incredibly tiny, but can also fly away at the first sign of🌞 dan🍌ger.

Surprisingly, the easiest way to kill these birds without ruining their feathers is to utilize your lasso after luring the birds in with bait. However, you must be extremely accurate while aiming your lasso, since the Robin needs to be tꦡied up and immobile before you can finish the j🌃ob and collect the materials you need.
