In Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), the vast and untamed wilderness offers a wealth of opportunities for hunting and gathering. Whether you’re a seasoned outlaw or a budding entrepreneur, pelts from various animals can be a lucrative source of income. But where do you sell these pelts for the best price? Enter the enigmatic Trapper.

This guide details all the Trapper locations in Red Dead Redemption 2, helping you turn your spoils into hard cash. We’ll also explore what the Trapper offers and how to get the most out of your interactions with him.

Who is the Trapper?

The Trapper is a solitary figure who travels between established camps, setting up shop to trade with hunters. He’s particularly interested in high-quality pelts, which he transforms into useful and stylish garments.

What Does the Trapper Offer?

The Trapper’s wares cater to the needs of both aspiring gunslingers and outdoorsmen. Here’s what you can expect to find:

Crafting Materials: Perfect pelts can be sold to the Trapper for a good price. He also buys less-than-perfect pelts, though at a lower price.

Clothing: The Trapper’s real specialty lies in his unique clothing crafted from the pelts you bring him. These garments offer not just warmth and protection from the elements, but also enhance your character’s aesthetic.

Crafting Recipes: As you progress through the game and build your reputation with the Trapper, he’ll unlock new crafting recipes for you. These recipes allow you to craft your own clothing and satchels from the pelts you acquire.

The Trapper’s Locations: A Hunter’s Map

The Trapper doesn’t have a permanent location.  He sets up camp in five different regions throughout the game world. Here’s a detailed breakdown of where to find him:

1. Saint Denis

This is the easiest Trapper location to find, as Saint Denis is a major city.

Head to the eastern part of the city and look for the Trapper’s stall within the market district. It’s right next to the “S” in “Denis” on your in-game map.

2. Annesburg

Located north of Saint Denis and west of Elysian Pool in the New Hanover region.

You’ll find the Trapper’s camp nestled in the woods, southwest of Annesburg, between the “V” and “E” of “Hanover” on the map.

3. Riggs Station

Situated northwest of Blackwater and Flat Iron Lake in New Hanover.

The Trapper has set up camp just outside of Riggs Station, slightly east of it and upon a small hill. Look for his camp west of the “Rs” in “Riggs Station” on the map.

4. Big Valley

Nestled within the wilderness of West Elizabeth, northwest of the Wapiti Indian Reservation.

Finding this Trapper requires venturing off the beaten path. His camp is located near the western border of the map, directly west of Big Valley. Look for the Dakota River and Upper Montana River inlets for reference.

5. Tall Trees

Another West Elizabeth location, situated northwest of Blackwater and Strawberry.

This Trapper camp is slightly trickier to find. Go quickly to Strawberry and then take the road past Lake Owanjila in a northwest direction. You’ll eventually find the camp deeper in the woods near the western edge of the map.

Remember: The Trapper’s locations won’t be marked on your map until you discover them yourself.  Explore the regions mentioned above and keep an eye out for his distinctive camp – a tent with animal pelts hanging around it.

Trapper Tips and Tricks

Here are some additional pointers to maximize your interactions with the Trapper:

Perfect Pelts Matter: The quality of the pelt significantly affects the price you receive. Always strive for clean kills using appropriate weapons for the animal you’re hunting.

Study Animals: Use your binoculars to study animals before hunting them. This will reveal information about their pelt quality, helping you prioritize targets with perfect pelts.

Upgrade Your Satchel: As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock the ability to upgrade your satchel, allowing you to carry more pelts at a time. This is crucial for maximizing your profits on hunting trips.

Don’t Sell Everything: While the Trapper offers good prices, some pelts might be better used for crafting specific clothing items you desire.
