Legendary Animal Bug in Red Dead Redemption 2: Fixes and Frustrations

Red Dead Redemption 2 has a bug that really annoys players trying to finish everything in the game. It affects players who are hunting legendary animals and trying to collect their special pelts. Because of this glitch, the game does not count the pelts even after players hunt and skin the animals. Why is this happening?

This problem shows up when the game refuses to record the legendary pelt in a player’s progress. Because of that, the player cannot finish the in-game compendium fully. This also blocks the ability to create items and stops someone from getting 100% completion.

Common Issues and Attempts to Fix:

Many people share their stories of the same issue. Some say their pelt disappears when they put it on their horse. Others mention that if they die while carrying the pelt, it is gone after that. When this happens, the pelt can’t be found at the trapper’s shop or in a player’s inventory, causing big setbacks.

A common idea is to check the trapper’s stock. Some believe pelts could show up there if lost. Sadly, this tip usually doesn’t help with this specific problem. One suggestion involves reloading a previous game save or backup before the bug happens. This might work for people who save often, but for those who don’t, it leaves them stuck.

PC players who deal with this can turn to mods or tools that edit saved games, letting them fix the issue or get the lost pelt back. Console gamers seem to have fewer choices and might have no real solution available.

Frustration for Completionists:

Some players feel really upset with Rockstar Games for not fixing the issue after so long. Even after spending hundreds of hours in the game, many cannot complete their goals due to the bug.

Final Options:

People trying to avoid starting the game over again have a few choices. They could wait a few in-game days, hoping the pelt shows up at the trapper. Maybe try crashing the horse or even “mercy-kill” the horse to see if the pelt appears.

Conclusion:

Rockstar Games has still not given an official fix, but players in the r/reddeadredemption2 community keep sharing ways to deal with the glitch and talk about their experiences. For now, players should save the game manually and be very careful during legendary hunts to stop the bug from happening.
