DirtCheap Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 So while debt collecting in Chapter 3, I did the mission with Holmes (the one where Arthur says his infamous ledger quote) where you have to hunt a "rare white cougar" and then sell it's pelt to repay his debt. However, while the game claims that this is the only rare white mountain lion in the game, I keep seeing many white pumas around the map. This is odd as the game classifies them as regular cougars, despite having the exact same appearance as the white mountain lion we saw in the mission. Not only that, but since when are pumas white (the ones in the forests, not the "rare" one)? They have a more tawny coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Gonna need pics of those white cougars you're seeing round the map, I don't recall seeing any. The one you hunt for the mission is white and gives a white pelt but the others around the map are idk, beige (whatever colour cougars are lol) and give a beige coloured pelt Deadman2112, Mach1bud and TableTennisChamp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video is pretty funny too. https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/9vjcp0/when_you_time_that_last_second_shot_purrfec/ Edited November 26, 2018 by DirtCheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 That's the normal looking cougar I believe. The white one is more albino, at least it gives a completely white pelt. Deadman2112 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a mountain lion had a more tawny coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Looking at real pics of them they seem spot on? Lighting may make then seem lighter or darker in certain situations I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 This is the colour they are IRL and in Red Dead, excluding the white/legendary cougars which are unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtCheap Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I know what color they are, don't worry. I'm just kind of confused on why there's grey-white pumas in the game. Also, while playing the game for a bit today, I saw that the ones in the desert have the tawny color while the ones north of Annesburg look grey. By the way, this is the closest I could find to a grey mountain lion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopalongCasidy Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 They are elder cougs with poor quality pelts, much like the elder bucks, and they are not as white as the special coug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mountain lion I keep referring to is grey I found an image of this feline in a YouTube thumbnail ^ That is the white puma I keep talking about @Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
