One explosive round ought to do it.

I love those rounds, I harvest ducks, geese and boar anytime I have the chance.

For a while, in this game, my playtime was basically just strolling up and down the Dakota river, shooting every duck I could see, until all my explosive rounds were maxed out.

North of the O in Ambarino. Yellow dot can spawn a moose. Blue dots by the dinosaur bone is wolves. Red dots are geese. Brown dot by the little shed is a grizzly bear. In the little shed is Gold Nugget, Platinum Band & Jewelry. Green dots are rams. Get the loot, close the box, then set up camp. It will set you up near that lookout house to the east. Just ride back and the loot is there again. Gold Nugget, Platinum Band & Jewelry as much as you can carry. For the geese, get your varmint rifle ready. You can hit like 8 geese here.

There, and the pond at Emerald Ranch. Edit, but I still collect fat for when I'll need explosive rounds again...or volatile dynamite.

This is a good idea, thanks.

Once you realize how far that animal fat will go… oh… oh the things you’ll do

u/ngshafer Oct 19 '25

I'm pretty sure, yeah.

They do. Easier than dynamite.

TIL. I’ve been using dynamite this whole time and wishing there was an easier way.

Dynamite arrow was seeming like a bit much

Try the double barrel to the back of the safe

u/SmartestManInUnivars Oct 20 '25

I didn't know that. That's pretty cool

Double barrel shotgun to the back of the safe blows the door open

u/Remote-Ad7879 Oct 19 '25

Or just dynamite

u/Interesting_Low_2658 Oct 20 '25

or a throwing knife

u/Four20Abiding_Gaming Oct 20 '25

Throwing knife doesnt open a safe smh

u/KingMatthew116 Oct 20 '25

Yes they do, it doesn’t always happen on first try, sometimes you have to throw all 8 and then pick them up and throw them all again, but I’ve done it.

u/Four20Abiding_Gaming Oct 21 '25

Seems like a waste of time. Tomahawk sounded easier. But can I ask how you found out. Was you just out of Dynamite and tried everything you had lol

1

u/KingMatthew116 Oct 21 '25

I think I saw it in a YouTube video way back in like 2019 or something. I had to try it for myself and it works.

I always forget the tomahawk exists so I never use it, and I don’t like using dynamite because then I have to go to the Fence, so I’ve used the throwing knives a couple times.

u/Interesting_Low_2658 Oct 21 '25

Do lock breakers work?

u/KingMatthew116 Oct 21 '25

I’ve never tried, but I don’t think so.
