Investing in some Red Dead Redemption 2 Satchel upgrades is definitely worth the effort, as if you've spent much time looting and foraging then you'll know that inventory space is initially limited, and nobody wants to abandon any valuables just because they don't have room to carry them. There are seven of these upgrades available in Red Dead Redemption 2, and each one you craft up will increase the carry capacity Arthur Morgan has for a particular type of item. While you progress through your journey you should make unlocking these Red Dead Redemption 2 Satchel upgrades your priority, to ensure that a lack of inventory space isn't an issue you run in to.

You can start working towards these upgrades as soon as you reach Horseshoe Overlook, though you'll initially have to purchase the leather crafting tools found in the Red Dead Redemption 2 Camp upgrades list as you won't be able to craft any of these satchels without them. Once you have the right tools for the job, scroll down our complete list of Red Dead Redemption 2 satchel upgrades the get all the information you need. We've included the benefits each provides, as well as everything required to craft them, to make the process simple.
