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

Description[]

Location[]

Rats are most numerous in the eastern regions, with scattered pockets in the central regions, and a greater concentration between Owanjila and Strawberry in Big Valley. They are very rare in the Grizzlies and almost non-existent in New Austin, with the exception of Armadillo.

Many can be found in the cave under the waterfall to the north of Elysian Pool, but they are all mangy, so it's impossible to get perfect pelts there.
Groups of them can be found in random encounters with the barman to the east of Saint-Denis, whose saloon is infested with rats.
A good spawning location is Copperhead Landing, on the coast between Saint Denis and Van Horn.

Challenges[]

Tips[]

  • A Perfect Rat is needed for the second request from the Wildlife Art Exhibition.
  • Ten Perfect Rats are needed to make the Rat Flat Cap at the Trapper.
  • Use a Bow with Small Game Arrows for a clean kill.

Trivia[]

  • There are two random encounters in Doyle's Tavern in Saint Denis where Doyle will ask you to clear his bar of rats. If done correctly, this will give you the required amount of rat pelts the trapper needs for all items.
  • During "American Venom", a rat can be seen exiting Micah's cabin when John is approaching.
  • If the player kills rats in towns, they will get a positive honor for it.
