In Red Dead Redemption 2, crafting and acquiring top-tier gear is essential for survival and success in the unforgiving frontier.  The Trapper plays a vital role in this system,  purchasing your hard-earned pelts and crafting materials  in exchange for unique outfits, crafting supplies, and other goodies.

But where exactly do you find these elusive trappers?  This comprehensive guide will reveal all the Trapper locations in Red Dead Redemption 2, ensuring you never have to travel far to turn your hunting triumphs into tangible rewards.

Always Appreciated: A Trapper’s Currency – Perfect Pelts

Before embarking on your Trapper-finding journey, it’s crucial to understand what these merchants value most: perfect pelts.  Don’t just go on a hunting spree –  use the right weapons and hunting techniques to preserve the quality of the animal’s hide.  Poor quality pelts will only fetch meager rewards from the Trapper.

Here’s a quick rundown on how to acquire perfect pelts:

Use Appropriate Weapons: For most animals, using bows with improved arrows or varmint rifles are ideal for clean kills that preserve pelt quality.

Aim for Vital Organs: Focus on headshots or heart shots for a quick and clean kill.

Study the Animal: Use your binoculars to study an animal before hunting. This unlocks information about its pelt quality and recommended weapons.

Traveling west of Blackwater?  Keep an eye out for the Trapper near Riggs Station.  He’s located slightly northeast of the station,  on a small hill overlooking the surrounding plains.  Look for the paw symbol to guide you.

Bulk Selling: Don’t be afraid to accumulate pelts before selling them to the Trapper. This can save you time and allow you to negotiate better prices (although the game doesn’t have an actual negotiation mechanic).

Crafting Materials: The Trapper also sells various crafting materials you’ll need to upgrade your satchels, camp, and craft certain useful items.
