Prickly Pear (Opuntia littoralis) is a vendible cactus in Red Dead Redemption. They are a type of plant that the player can harvest and sell to merchants for money, or can be used by the player to create other valuable and useful items such as medicines. They can be found in deserts and scrublands of the game world. They are the most abundant plant in Nuevo Paraiso.
Characteristics
Prickly Pear appears as a type of cactus. It is short, wide, and light green in color with the appearance of long black thorns and displays orange-red flowers on the ends of its stems. The bright green and red coloration makes this plant easy to spot by eye.
