Plant Gathering in Redemption

Plant Gathering is an activity in Red Dead Redemption. While roaming the west, Marston has the ability to find and collect plants, which he can later sell to vendors for cash.

The mechanics of plant gathering are still unconfirmed. At this moment, it is unclear how much plant variation there will be and if there is any difference in price value. It also has been rumored that plants could be made into usable items like medicine.

There are also challenges that make you collect specific plants, Collecting the correct plants will improve your 'survival' skills as been said in a hands on review. However what that means or what bonuses it gives is still unclear.

Multiplayer
While in Free Roam it is also possible to find rare plants, what the use or reward for it is is still unknown. This entailed the multiplayer Survivalist Challenges. Upon completion, these challenges earn the playing experience points
