The Oxen is a species of animal found in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Description

The Angus ox and Devon ox are domesticated animals. They can be found in ranches. Often, they are kept in the ranch's cattle yard alongside cows. Occasionally, a rancher can be found leading an ox on pastures near a ranch. Both the Angus ox and Devon ox have their bull variants.

Oxen can become aggressive towards the player if they step into their cattle yard or bump into them. They will charge into the player if turned aggressive. Killing oxen do not result in a loss of honor.

However, as oxen are domesticated animals, killing them is considered Animal Cruelty, and witnesses can report the crime to local lawmen. Killing oxen also result in ranchers immediately turning hostile towards the player.

Tips

  • A rifle or a bow with improved arrows can be used to obtain a clean kill. A rifle shot or an improved arrow shot at the ox's head will kill the ox without damaging its pelt or carcass.
  • A more efficient way to kill an ox is to use the lasso. The player can restrain the ox, close in and kill it with a knife.
  • Players should note that skinning an ox takes more time, similar to any other large animals. During skinning, a nearby rancher or a civilian may come and investigate. If the player is spotted skinning the ox, the rancher or civilian may turn hostile towards the player or report the crime to lawmen.
    • To avoid this issue, the player can first lure the ox to a secluded area before killing and skinning it. The player can do this by bumping into the ox, then opening the cattle yard's gate to let it escape.
    • Otherwise, the player can kill an ox silently in its cattle yard at night, when ranchers and civilians are not present. The player can use a lasso and a knife, or a bow, to kill the ox silently.
