There are a lot of things for players to do in Red Dead Online to kill time. This guide shows players how to find all the Desert Habitat animals.
Players looking to rank up the Naturalist role will eventually have to look for animals from the Desert Habitat in Red Dead Online. There are about 14 types of Desert animals players can encounter and collect samples to give Harriet Davenport. While locating all of them without knowing their location prior can be time-consuming, it can be made easier if players use the precise locations below.
Many of the Desert animals are quite deadly; however, players must refrain from killing them as they won’t be able to collect samples afterwards. To rank up the Naturalist role, players must put them to sleep using the Varmint Rifle in Red Dead Online. This rifle can be bought from Harriet, after which players can head out to collect samples from animals that live in the desert.
All Desert Animal Locations In Red Dead Online
Since there are 14 different animals to encounter, collecting samples from them will be a bit more time-consuming than collecting samples from Farmland animals in Red Dead Online.
