To upgrade your satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need to craft upgrades at Pearson's crafting table in camp using specific materials like Perfect Pelts. Different upgrades require different materials, so focus on hunting and gathering the necessary items to unlock enhanced satchel capacity.
Locating Pearson
To upgrade the satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2, players need to find Pearson, the camp's cook, who also happens to be the camp's upgrade provider. Pearson is responsible for crafting various items, including upgraded satchels, which offer players more carrying capacity for various items in the game.
Completing the "Paying a Social Call" Mission
Before players can ask Pearson to upgrade their satchel, they must first complete the "Paying a Social Call" mission. This mission is part of the game's main storyline and takes place in Chapter 2 of Red Dead Redemption 2. Once this mission is complete, Pearson will set up his crafting station in the camp, allowing players to access his services.
Gathering the Required Materials
Once players have unlocked access to Pearson's crafting station, the next step in upgrading the satchel is to gather the necessary materials. Pearson will require specific materials to craft the upgraded satchels, such as perfect animal pelts or other resources that can be found throughout the game world. It's essential to pay attention to the materials needed for the specific satchel upgrade the player is aiming for.
Interacting with Pearson
Players can interact with Pearson at the camp to view the different satchel upgrades available. By selecting the upgrade they wish to craft, players can see a list of the required materials and whether or not they currently possess these materials. If the player has all the necessary materials, they can ask Pearson to craft the upgraded satchel for them.
Crafting the Upgraded Satchel
Once players have gathered the required materials and requested the upgrade from Pearson, he will begin crafting the upgraded satchel. Depending on the complexity of the satchel upgrade and the materials needed, the crafting process may take some time. Players can check back with Pearson later to collect their newly upgraded satchel.
Utilizing the Upgraded Satchel
After Pearson has completed crafting the upgraded satchel, players can equip it from their inventory menu. The upgraded satchel will provide additional carrying capacity for specific items in the game, such as more ammunition, supplies, or other resources. This enhanced carrying capacity can be incredibly useful during missions and while exploring the vast world of Red Dead Redemption 2.
