Red Dead Redemption 2 Leather Working Tools Guide
By TJ Denzer ·
Maybe one of the most important provisions you can get for camp in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the leather working tools. This guide will tell you where to find them and what they'll do for you.
Red Dead Redemption 2 hosts a wild story over a vast western wilderness. You’ll need plenty of tools in your camp to survive whether you’re on missions or exploring the unknown. One of the best toolsets to help you with this is the leather working tools. With them you’ll be able to access a number of upgrades, but getting to them isn’t exactly a walk in the park. This guide will help you knock out the requirements for the leather working tools and get on your way to making things that much easier on the dusty trailer of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Getting The Leather Working Tools
Getting started on collecting the leather working tools will require that you get through a large portion of Red Dead Redemption’s Chapter 2, to the point where you finally make camp at Horseshoe Overlook. On the west side of the Horseshoe Overlook camp, you’ll find Herr Strauss with a side mission for you – Money Lending and Other Sins. This mission will require you to hunt down a number of folks that owe Dutch’s gang money and collect on their debts.
In the camp is a contribution box. Once you’ve collected enough money from the unfortunate debtors and deposited the mission earnings in the box, the camp ledger (behind Dutch’s tent) should update with the contribution. After that, the last page of the ledger should include Leather Working Tools as an option, which will cost $225. The money will come out of the camp’s earnings.
What the Tools Do
Once you’ve purchased the Leather Working Tools option, you’ll be able to gain access to new additions to your gear and the camp. The major addition is the ability to craft new satchels. Once you’ve got the option, be sure to check in with Pearson regularly and see what kind of new goods he has for your adventures and downtime in Red Dead Redemption 2’s journey.
