The Red Dead Redemption 2 Beaver is a medium-sized mammal featured in the video game published by Rockstar Games for PS4 and Xbox One.
Unlike other mammals, such asAmerican Badgers or Armadillos, for example; theNorth American Beavers are quite important when it comes to crafting; because the parts obtained from skinningcan be used for a large number of items.
Inhabiting only several locations from the game (as shown on our map below), theBeavers can be found near rivers where they build shelters.
Red Dead Redemption II also includes a legendary variation of this animal species. Our hunting guide below explains what weapons and ammo you should use when hunting this animal.
You can attempt to hunt your first Beaver, as soon as you reach Horseshoe Overlook at the beginningof the second chapter.
Furthermore, you can see the complete list of crafting materials you can gather from a North American Beaver, and how to use them properly.
Description
“The North American Beaver can be found along the Kamassa River in Roanoke. Its herbivorous diet consists of tree bark, cambium, roots, buds, and water plants. A Varmint Rifle is the ideal weapon for hunting beavers. Beaver scent glands, skin and fat can all be used for crafting.”

Hunting Tips
The first Beaver location you should check when trying to hunt a perfect (3 stars) exemplar is Lake Owanjila. Approach the lake’s shore slowly and activate Arthur’s Eagle Eye to spot the animals around you.
If you can’t find any Beaver, try usingHerbivore Bait.
By far, the Varmint Rifle is the best weapon for Beaver Hunting in Red Dead Redemption 2. A headshot using Dead Eye will guarantee a perfect kill, and if the exemplar has 3 stars, a perfect pelt.
