Big Game Meat is an item available in Red Dead Redemption 2. It can either be in reference to the ingredient, which may be either sold to a butcher or cooked at a campfire, or the consumable provision, made by cooking the ingredient.
Description[]
This meat, after being cooked and eaten, will fully restore (+100%) all cores. Alternatively, the available seasoned variants include the Minty Big Game, Oregano Big Game and Thyme Big Game, which will additionally fortify either the health core, stamina core or dead eye core, respectively, for one in-game day.
Acquisition[]
The ingredient can only be obtained by hunting and skinning any large or massive predator; wolves, alligators, cougars, panthers, black bear or grizzly bear. The provision may only be acquired through cooking.
Trivia[]
- It's generally the riskiest meat to hunt, though it's also the most valuable and nourishing.
- Consuming a Minty Big Game Meat is equivalent to the $5 meals available at most saloons.
Tips[]
- The quickest and easiest way to acquire large quantities of this meat is by hunting alligators.
- They are found all across Bayou Nwa, usually near or in water, and generally lie quite still; while they can be very lethal, they won't attack unless threatened or provoked.
- Using a Bow with Improved Arrows is advisable when hunting large gators; a stealthy, clean kill, with recoverable ammo. However, the player may use Poison Arrows or a High-Powered Rifle as an alternative.
