Now that the Naturalist update is available for the players to experience, many players are wondering how to become a Naturalist in Red Dead Online. Thankfully, it’s not very hard to do, as players simply need to go to Strawberry and pay 25 gold bars. However, the Naturalist update does add new content for players like new cosmetics and new legendary animal missions. Now, Rockstar has announced that it will be adding two more legendary animal missions to the game in the form of new alligators.
The new legendary alligators being added are called the Teca Gator and Sun Gator. The Teca Gator can be found in the Kamassa River in the dark when it’s rainy or stormy, while the Sun Gator can be found in the Lannahechee River on foggy mornings. Players will have the option to sedate the animals during the Red Dead Online missions or kill them. The NPC Gus can give Naturalists special items and cosmetics for rare animal pelts and skins.
However, it should be warned that Harriet, the other Naturalist helper NPC, does not like killing animals and will punish players for hunting before visiting her. It’s also noteworthy that Harriet will be the one giving Naturalists many of their legendary animal missions. Harriet will give players animal guide information and experience for sampling the gators, while Gus will give players a hat and gloves for the Teca and Sun Gator’s skins, respectively.
Naturally, players in the Naturalist roles will spend a lot of their playtimes away from notable towns and cities like Saint-Denis while out in the wild hunter and tracking wildlife. The Naturalist update, while maybe not being entirely what Red Dead Online fans have been asking for, is still a very interesting update. It certainly adds a brand new way to experience the beautiful world of Red Dead Online that players haven’t been able to experience so far.
Red Dead Online is available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
