Red Dead Redemption 2

General

• You get a brush for your horse from the early story quest "Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego" given by Hosea in camp. If you start getting warnings about your horse's health core decreasing because it's dirty, its not a HUGE deal, but that quest is how you get the option to brush your horse clean.

• If you want to get serious about hunting for perfect pelts, get the legendary buck talisman first, it gives you higher quality pelts from hunting.

• Don't worry too much about the side activities until chapter 3, that's when you are done up with most of the introductory 'here's how you do this activity'-type missions.

• It's probably best to prioritise the missions with white icons. It is possible for the yellow icon missions to progress the storyline beyond a point where you can do the white icon missions.

Hunting

• You have to sell perfect/Legendary pelts to the Trapper NPC in order to buy special outfits. If you donate a pelt to your camp, the Trapper won't be able to make clothing with it.

• The Trapper has a set location in a certain town, but be can also be found in random places on the world map. His icon is a bear paw.

• If you lose a Legendary pelt by getting killed while carrying it, the pelt will be added to the Trapper's inventory automatically as if you had sold it to him. All you lose out on is the money you would've made from selling it to him.
