The Armadillo is a species of animal found in Red Dead Redemption.
Description[]
Armadillos are small mammals, covered by a hard shell. If shot with a large caliber weapon (some rifles or shotguns) the armadillo may explode. This will render it unable to be skinned, so the player must use caution. Revolvers or pistols are recommended when hunting armadillos for this reason.
Armadillos are passive animals that will run away when Marston approaches them. They will never fight back with their claws or teeth, even if provoked. This was meant to be a feature, but it was scrapped before the game was released.
Location[]
- New Austin
- Hanging Rock
- Odd Fellow's Rest, on the road adjacent to the cemetery where the Stranger side-mission "Let No Man Put Asunder" concludes.
- West of Armadillo, just east of Pleasance House in the hills of the area. Seem to be in abundance around 6 PM. Many can also be found around 8 AM.
- South of Twin Rocks.
- Gaptooth Ridge.
- On the cliff above Riley's Charge.
- Nuevo Paraíso
- Directly south of Crooked Toes along the main trail, mainly during the day.
- Just north of Ojo Del Diablo and at Alta Cabeza near El Matadero during the day.
Challenges[]
Rank 4 of the Master Hunter Challenges requires that the player skin five boars and three armadillos.
Tips[]
- Armadillos killed before unlocking the Master Hunter Rank 4 challenge do not count towards it.
- If hunted in areas with bushes or many rocks, they are quite good at blending in with their surroundings. To counter this, listen carefully. Whenever you approach an armadillo, it will make a pig-like sound.
- Armadillos are very easily spotted at night, as the white sand texture contrasts well with the mostly black armadillos.
- If you use large caliber weapons, such as shotgun and high-powered rifles on armadillos, they will destroy the animal, and the player will be unable to skin the armadillo.
Trivia[]
- "Armadillo" is Spanish for "little armored one".
