00:00 - Introduction
00:12 - Rat Location 1
01:31 - Rat Location 2
02:33 - Rat Location 3
**Perfect Pelt Guide** Get a clean head shot on a three star Rat using a Bow equipped with Small Game Arrows.
A perfect Brown Rat or Black Rat pelt is required for the Hunting Requests 2 mission, which can be started by visiting any Post Office from Chapter 2 onwards, observing the first list posted on the notification board and progressing from there.
This video covers the three most reliable spawn locations (in my experience) for Rats in RDR2 story mode - also quite reliable for RDO / Red Dead Online as well. They are most commonly found at night, but can also easily be found during the day as well.
If you have trouble getting a Rat to spawn, I suggest setting up a camp a few clicks away from the spawn location and sleeping until the following day before riding back and trying again. If you hit bad RNG you may have to do this up to 5-10 times to get it to work for your desired purposes. Reloading your save and/or game can also be used to try and reset the animals in game.
Be sure to explore a small radius of the surrounding area thoroughly before resetting and trying again as it's exact location varies depending on conditions.
Also, be sure to clear out any legendary animals or random encounters in the area as they can mess with the spawns as well.
Good luck, animal hunting can be quite tricky sometimes, but be patient and you'll find one eventually. If you have any questions just drop them down below and I'll answer them when I can!
