Schwoby's RDR2 Strategy Guide

Crafting Upgrades (Pearson's Camp Upgrades)

Although you don’t need to obtain any of the crafting upgrades to achieve 100%, or to even complete the story line, the upgrades will increase camp moral and earn you positive reputation. All of the upgrades are listed individually, along with each of their requirements. At the very bottom is a list of all requirements that you can use as a checklist and each column can be sorted by clicking on the column name.

Satchel Upgrades are part of the Crafting Upgrades that Pearson offers, but there is an entire page dedicated to them, so they will not be listed here.

All perfect animals yield perfect pelts (three stars). With the ‘Legendary Buck Antler Trinket’, you have a chance to get perfect pelts from less than perfect animals, too! To obtain a perfect pelt, a clean (single head shot) kill with the correct weapon must be made. Animal quality has no effect on antler gathering, so if you need a Moose Antler, for example, you can kill a poor quality moose and still get the antler you need.
