They allow you to produce ammunition, food, medicine and baits.
How to start crafting?
In Red Dead Redemption 2, for start crafting you have tostop.
Unlike other games, you could’t craft ammunition or food on the run or on horseback.
In addition, it is not enough to merely stop; you have torestor set upthe camp.
It depends on what you want to create.
Some items require a bonfire.
a few meters away from your horse.
If you are already at a suitable distance, hold down the triangle for PS4, Y for XBOX.
Your character will then crouch on the ground.
You will see 3 possible options:Set up the camp, Crafting and Stand Up.
If you smack the “craft” option, a crafting window will appear.
Setting the camp
you’re able to set up a camp in RDR2 in two ways.
When you hit it, the character will set a camp.
By the bonfire you cancraft ammunition, weapons, food, medicines, baits and horse-care items.
