Five Finger Fillet is a high-stakes mini-game in Red Dead Redemption 2, requiring lightning-fast reflexes and nerves of steel. Players must swiftly navigate a knife between their outstretched fingers, competing against an opponent for the highest score.
Beyond the thrill of the game, Five Finger Fillet offers an opportunity to earn money. However, the risk of losing your wager adds an element of excitement and challenge.
This guide provides essential tips and strategies to help you become a Five Finger Fillet champion in RDR2.
Five Finger Fillet Table Locations?
There are three locations where you can find the Five Finger Fillet table. The first is northeast to the New Hanover, a little west to Van Horn.
The second location is south of Valentine, just near the borders of Cumberland Forest. This is by far the easiest table to win.
The third and final location is south of Strawberry, near Hawks Eye Creek.
Besides these three locations, you can also play the mini-game at your main camp, but remember that it won’t always be available there as mini-games rotate between Poker, Blackjack, Dominoes and more. The Five Finger Fillet table in the town of Strawberry is permanent.
