Plant Gathering is an activity the player can partake in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.

Characteristics[]

Various types of plants and herbs are found growing within the explorable regions of the game. They range from edible berries, mushrooms, tubers, orchids or flowers. While roaming, the player has the ability to study or collect plants, which can be used for crafting cooking recipes, donate it to camp or sell it for profit.

Plants and herbs can be crafted into seasonings for cooking, poison weapons, medicine, tonics and elixirs. This is achieved through crafting in a camp.

Eagle Eye can be used to locate nearby plants and herbs which glows with a yellow tinge. The player can collect any one type of a plant or herb in their satchel but they have to upgrade it to increase its carrying capacity.

Any Doctor will buy harvested plants for $0.25 each, except for orchids.

Types of Plants and Herbs[]

There are 43 collectable plants and herbs that the player can encounter when roaming, a list of which follows:

Berries[]

Mushrooms[]

Seasoning Herbs[]

Orchids[]

Red Dead Online[]

The Red Dead Online protagonist has the opportunity to pick exotic plants like American Wild Flowers. These plants can be sold to Madam Nazar if the player has the Collector Role. In addition, some plants can be used in Moonshine recipes exclusive to Moonshiners.

Trivia[]

  • In Red Dead Online, as part of the Collector role's progression system, the player's horse can pick plants for them if mounted and in proximity of a plant. The option to pick a flower will come up and the horse will do the animation of ripping the plant off its stem and the player will then take it from its mouth.
  • Orchids can be found anytime before activating the "Duchesses and other Animals" quest, but they will de-spawn before you can collect the full quantity eventually needed for completing. Essentially, you cannot collect the required quantity prior to the mission request. If some orchids are picked before this mission starts, they will respawn upon starting the corresponding request.
