Holy poo poo I cannot for the life of me catch any of these tiny rear end songbirds needed for most of the Trappers hat decorations.

If you go back to the first campsite, horseshoe overlook or whatever it's called, there should be songbirds (Cardinals) perched on the 2 large rocks that are there. Once you pick up their corpses you need to enter your satchel and go to the bird and select "dismantle" or something to get the feathers.

I traveled all over the map where they are supposed to be but couldn't find a single one but in that location, during the day, I found 2.

Apparently, when I equipped my fancy new gator saddle. It ALSO unequipped my +stat stirrups and will not allow me to pick any :doh: So while the saddle apparently has slightly better core drain stats than a store bought one, that's no replacement for a +2 speed and acceleration.

Unrelated to horses, but still inventory. How do I get rid of Worn weapons? It's annoying having to scroll past a Worn Schofield Revolver before I get to my proper customized one.

Clearly "Just reset the game" isn't the answer, as I have the extra layer of my brother playing between when I got a worn Schofield and now.

Oh wait, you can actually polish up Worn weapons? Though that still leaves the whole "Now I need to scroll extra when I didn't want to" (See also, just realizing I have a Worn Cattleman), as mismatched sidearms has caught my fancy anyways when dual wielding.

I'm also so used to "No, no. I don't want a Worn Cattleman replacing my sawed off. Give me back my sawed off." being the norm of Worn Weapons.

So getting a free second schofield AND getting to upgrade it feels at odds with the rest of the game being waiting with baited breath for it to eventually delete my lancaster (My brother lost TWO lancasters at once).

Edit: So I just walked into the gunsmith and wouldn't you know it, neither worn weapon is listed to be customized :v: Attempting to manually clean them in a back alley to not alarm the cops also gets the prompt that I'm not ALLOWED to clean it.

So. Back to my previous question then. How do I ditch these Worn guns outside of the whims of the game maybe perhaps removing them someday? I have the sneaking suspicion that if I took the route of "Just buy a duplicate of every gun!", this will just happen again leading me to have THREE to scroll through, or eat my paid for second gun with "Whoops! looks like you grabbed a worn weapon again" (Fancy gunslinger guns are cool enough to warrant permanent inventory space).

The confusion here is that Worn is both a status of hosed up guns and then Worn the Far Cry 2 hosed up guns that are only temporary.

Don't know how to get rid of them though, sorry.

I expect the real answer will be "Once I stop wavering around $150-200 tops, buy a new blinged out gun every time the game fucks me on poo poo guns/deleted guns". Blowing cash on a fresh secondary does seem to ditch the Worn ones, if you only had a single legit gun yet.I've got a lucrative chapter 3 bank heist lined up for me as soon as I want it, but spending money as a WORK AROUND is always a drag.

I go in the back door of the Valentine general store every time to steal $20 and now the shopkeeper treats it like "oh lordy I should just sell this place" but doesn't really seem to panic that much. Then when I go shopping he acts super pissy but he knows he can't do anything about it because I'm basically trolling him.

So do the fence, Pearson and the trapper all share inventories or should I be more careful with what I'm selling? I noticed the fence needs legendary parts for trinkets and talismans and I've just been selling them all off to the trader and don't know if I can buy them back. Apologies if this has been answered already before.

I find it weird how they have so many of those false-start missions where the game tells you to go to one person for a mission, and then suddenly another character interrupts the conversation and now you're doing a mission with them.

Try Black Bone Forest in Big Valley, a little east of the trapper. Just walk around a bit until you hear them pecking wood.

They don't share inventories and so far as I know you cannot repurchase pelts/carcasses that you've sold or donated.


So I finished Geology for Beginners but apparently missed a brass pocket watch at Francis' home that can be crafted into a talisman. I'm not sure how since the entire time you're inside his house it's a cutscene and you can't go back inside later. Did I permanently miss this item somehow?

Oh, huh. If you manage to unlock an upgrade off hand holster at the Trapper you can just get one before Micah gives you one.

I kinda like that better, ha. Doesn't look like I can buy a duplicate gun, though. Guess that'll be later.

I did that and bought an off-hand holster and now I can dual-wield without any story mission unlocking it.

I just herded all the sheep into Valentine for that mission with John, but for some reason the mission report after the big shootout with the law and Strauss getting shot it showed as if I had not herded any sheep into the corral. I don't think I missed a sheep anyway. I wonder if I'm still getting paid for that job, especially since I had to pay off a 60 dollar bounty because of the mission. Dutch is now already talking about moving the camp from Horsehoe Overlook but nothing really happened. I guess I should first break Micah out of jail. That the only yellow mission I can see on the map. I think that will get me to chapter 3.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Though if it's not unlocked it looks like the game won'tet you buy two of the same gun until you do so.

Sure wish there was a way to get perfect pig pelts without an honor hit.

A few random questions:

1. If I sell or give the trapper or Pearson a pelt, do I have to craft the item just then, or will it stick around in their "inventory" and be available for crafting whenever I want?

2. Is there a way to fast travel and also get your horse to come with you? I took a train from St. Denis to Riggs, but after the little train cutscene, my horse was still back where I started.

3. Are there other shops like the Doctor in Valentine that you can turn into a little heist, or is that a one-off?

I’ve run into this several times now.

The correct answer is to drop the pelt (which shouldn’t respawn, and get the damsel. Park her a couple hundred feet from the pelt, then go jack a horse, load pelt. You either have to raise your new horse to level 1, or switch damsel and pelt, because you want to ride your horse with damsel, and have temp horse follow with pelt. (Or ride temp horse with damsel, and have your horse follow)

Why no, I’m not obsessive compulsive.

1.) It will be in their inventory forever til you craft something with it. Legendary parts also automatically make it to the fence for trinkets/talismans.

2.) Make sure your horse isn't hitched. I've always had it follow (with pelts intact) as long as I didn't hitch it. I recommend saving before you do this because sometimes the game will do something dumb like put your horse on the tracks for the "train arriving" cutscene and it'll get killed. Rockstar :toot:

3.) Yes.

Careful with this. Massive pelts can despawn really quickly as soon as you look and move away from them. Lost my first 3 star elk pelt because of this when I went maybe 50 yards away to get another horse, it was despawned when I got back. I searched everywhere. Legendary pelts *should* just go to the trapper/fence for crafting if that happens, and you just lose out on the $20 or whatever for selling, but apparently there's occasionally a bug about it. It's also possible that legendary pelts won't despawn as easily.

On the timed horseman challenges, does time when you’re paused count? I thought I nailed the Strawberry to Saint Denis 9 minutes, since I spent some of the 10 real life minutes it took rerouting on the map (default autoroute takes you through a river and won’t send you along rail routes), but it didn’t register when I passed the vaudeville theater.
