Has anyone level 15 or higher encountered a legendary animal in free roam then? I have only encountered one in free roam and it was at level... two?

Nothing since rank 3 or 4.

I don't think so. But there's so little difference in speed between even the very slowest and quickest horses that I stopped paying attention long ago.

Yesterday at level 20 i encounted 2 legendaries, but that was a private lobby and had been searching for hours and hours before that and nothing. Well, 3 people were searching for hours and nothing.

Then suddenly 1 friend (level 20) shortly before I saw mine saw one.

Everyone else left and after that 1 did my 2 sightings.

 

Earlier in that lobby I went by a spot, and boar didn't spawn. 2 minutes later while I was still nearby a posse member rank 10 naturalist spawned the boar. This was during a trader sell while we were all possied up and 3 of us in same area. Trader sells and other missions are known to boost animal spawns, eh?

 

I think why we saw more legendaries as low levels was because servers were fresh from update so the legendaries spawned (like everytime after an update you get ambushes to spawn everywhere and then when servers get more tired/they have been triggered you get less and less)

 

It's always the same thing with R* games, when you are looking for something, it doesn't spawn, but when you go about your business suddenly one appears. I would need to learn ro be patient about this, but since I've now done most else now it's time for legendaries, so can't help myself from looking, lol

As always this new role events appear very rarly. Within around 20-25 hours gameplay i have done the sedating mission two times, and the one where you protect the animals only one time.


I felt off a small cliff and rolled into a rock slowly, then died the first minute in the Protecting animal event... (Rage pushed psbutton and turned off the ps4) 😅

What's up with these poacher missions? I choose a mission about a legendary bighorn in Cholla Springs, then the location of the poachers is in Hennigan's Stead, and there are 2 caged bisons instead of a legendary animal. Happened a similar thing the other 2 times I tried these missions: standard animals to be freed, not legendary. :sarcasm:

The poacher missions are separate from legendary missions. Are you sure you're selecting the correct one you want?

Hold square to get "missions", then 2 options appear (legendary animals), I choose one.

Hmm I'm not sure then. When you're in that menu screen there's the button on the right side to select a poacher mission so maybe you're hitting that instead of selecting one of the legendaries?

Holy sh*t the game does not like you killing sedated animals, not only does your honour tank per kill you also can't skin them.

The extra benefits you earn come from Trinkets that Gus can make for you.

10% slower weapon degare

10% faster horse bonding, etc.

 

At least, that's my feel for it.

Still looking for the Onyx ring & Turquoise earrings for the trinkets, anybody have any luck or tips?

You can get some different legendary animals playing the tagging free roam event

 

What is the best gun to get a perfect grizzly bear pelt? Carcano rifle? Elephant gun?

Definitely not a bolt action or double barrel shotgun, thats for sure. Even tried with explosive ammo, just shrugged it off and took 3 bullets to kill, rendering it a 1 star

I've ruined a fair few pelts, but I got the 4 3* bear pelts for the coats with a bolt action.

 

The key was to let them charge and head shot them when they got close, but not that close that my horse spooked.

Yep. Use a poison arrow, it's the easiest way to get a perfect grizzly pelt.

Should I turn in samples 1 by 1 or get a full category done then hand all them in together? Does that make a difference?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Gus has any saddles, only saddlebags

So does anyone know where the hell I can find Southern Copperhead snakes? Northern was no trouble and its the last animal before I can 100% it

Actually I found mine next to the confederate fort north of san denis. Sorry about the mis-direct earlier, that was where the cotton mouth was.

Legendary animal hunt missions and Poacher missions are different things. The way you select them is quite weird. I’ll use PS4 buttons.

 

When you see Harriet, you hold square to go into missions. At that point, you’ll see Legendary animal hunts listed on the left. You can select those with X (provided you’re above level 5 Naturalist. If you want to do a Poacher mission instead (you don’t BTW), then there’s a prompt on the right telling you to press square.

 

I suspect you have the legendary animal hunt selected, but are pressing square (to start a poacher mission) instead of X to start the legendary. Either that, or you’re not level 5 yet and so the legendary missions are greyed out. Hope that helps.

Bolt action, express rounds, headshot.
