Rdr2 How To Get Perfect Snake Skin

So, You Want Perfect Snake Skin in RDR2, Huh?

Let's talk about snake skin. Not just *any* snake skin. We're talking perfect snake skin. The kind that makes Pearson sing your praises. The kind you brag about to your online buddies.

I'm going to say something controversial. Something that might get me banned from the Red Dead Redemption 2 forums. Ready?

The "Perfect" Method Nobody Talks About

Forget dynamite. Forget running them over with your horse. Those methods are... barbaric. And, frankly, usually end up with ruined pelts. We're aiming for perfection, remember?

My secret? Small game arrows. I know, I know. You're thinking, "But those are for squirrels!" Hear me out.

First, find your snake. Copperheads, rattlesnakes, garter snakes... They're all candidates for Operation: Perfect Skin.

Now, the crucial part. Deadeye. Engage it. Paint that little X right on the snake's head. Boom.

One clean shot, every time. At least, that's the idea. Sometimes they wiggle. Sometimes my aim is just awful. Hey, nobody's perfect (except maybe that snake skin, eventually!).

But Wait, There's More! (Slightly Unethical Tips)

Okay, this is where some of you might judge me. But desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

See a snake that's *almost* perfect? Like, 2-star quality? Don't despair! There's a little trick.

Kill it anyway. I know, it sounds counterintuitive. But stay with me!

Now, ride away. A good distance. Like, out of render distance. Sleep. Go rob a train. Whatever.

Come back. Sometimes – and I emphasize sometimes – the game gods will be smiling upon you. And a new, 3-star snake will have magically appeared in its place.

Is it cheating? Maybe. Am I ashamed? A little. Does it work sometimes? Absolutely.

The Ultimate Snake Skin Hack: Accept Imperfection

This might be the biggest secret of all. You ready for it?

Sometimes, a 3-star snake just isn't going to happen. You'll spend hours searching. You'll lose your sanity. You'll start talking to your horse.

And then you'll realize... it's just a game. That 2-star snake skin? It's probably good enough.

Pearson won't judge you *too* harshly. Your camp will still look vaguely rustic. And you can move on with your life.

So, go forth, my friends. Hunt those snakes. Skin them with (relative) ease. And remember, even if you don't get that perfect skin, you're still a legend in my book.
