InRed Dead Online, players get a chance to explore the world ofRed Dead Redemption 2a year before the single-player story begins. Similar toGrand Theft Auto Online, this multiplayer component has received improvements and fixes since launch that make it more than just an online reskin. While the latest update gives players a chance to be an up-and-coming Naturalist, they can also decide to hunt some mythical creatures instead.
Gus Macmillian is a retired professional hunter introduced alongsideHarriet Davenportwhen players visit the Welcome Center in Strawberry. In stark contrast to Harriet’s nature-loving personality, Gus talks about the opportunity to make money from hunting animals and says to keep in touch if players are interested. While there are no missions directly given by Gus, he does offer to trade some powerful items for the parts of certain animals.

Gus Macmillian’s Location
Players should note that Gus Macmillian doesn’t stay in one spot. Instead, he moves around through many locations on the map which are marked by a paw and dollar sign symbol. If players are still having issues locating him, the Gus tag within the map index can also be used to find his closest spot.
Hunting and Skinning Legendary Animals
The legendary animals that Gus wants are encountered during Harriet’sNaturalistAnimal Missions. However, players need to track them down and eliminate some pesky poachers before they can claim the prize.
Red Dead Onlineplayers should know that they can’t ruin a legendary animal’s pelt even if it takes several shots to bring the creature down. For this reason, it’s recommended to use the most powerful weapons including the recently-added Elephant Rifle to get the job done.
Unique Garments and Trinkets
Once a specificlegendary animalpelt is brought to Gus, the corresponding garment and trinket will be unlocked. Note that this only opens up the items for purchase and players will still need enough money plus materials to get them. While the garments are purely cosmetics, each trinket will have a different beneficial effect.
Red Dead Onlineis available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
