    Red Dead Redemption 2 Hunting

    Red Dead Redemption 2 Hunting is an engrossing feature in the game, from animal quality to kill quality and even all the materials they drop that can be crafted into various items.

    How Do I See the Animal Quality?

    While near or within proximity of an Animal focus it by Holding L2/LT either through a Scope or Binoculars, Then hold R1/RB to study it.

    QualityRank
     Poor ★
     Good ★★
     Pristine
    (Best)
     ★★★

    Now for the other two factors that determine the quality of the kill when Red Dead Redemption 2 Hunting.

    Best Weapons For Hunting are dependent on animal Size.

    • Small – Varmint Rifle
    • Moderate – Varmint Rifle, Repeater
    • Medium – Bow, Pistol, Repeater, Rifle, Sniper
    • Large – Rifle, Sniper, Bow
    • Massive – Rifle, Sniper, Bow

    The Best Body Parts to aim for better Animal Kill Quality.

    • Fatal Shot = Heart, Brain
    • Critical Damage Shot = Organs, Lungs, Stomach

    Keep in mind the better your hunting method, the higher the quality of loot you will receive from the kill and skinning.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 Skinning

    Red Dead Redemption 2 Skinning is part of the hunt and will require you to have space to carry on the back of your Horse. With the exception of Massive Animal Carcass as they can only be skinned and NOT carried.

    The Materials you can obtain from hunting and skinning animals in Red Dead 2 are as follows:

    • Pelts

    • Legendary Animal Parts
    • Meat
