Rare Masks

Then there are 4 rare masks that you need to search for in the map to find.

Pagan Skull Mask
This mask is relatively easy to find. It is at north-west of Owanjila, close to the edge of the map. It will be in the middle of some Pagan marks.

Pig Mask
This mask can be found hanging outside a butcher’s shop in Butcher Creek, south of Annesburg.

Cat Skull Mask
This mask can be found in Lakay, in one of the sunken shacks. It is hanging above a wooden box.

Ram Skull Mask
This mask can only be found once the main story is completed, as it requires access to the entire map. Once you finish the story, travel to Rathskeller Fork. The mask will be in a sheep pen.

Hat Locations

There are 6 rare hats currently available in RDR2. These hats can only be found at the following locations.

Tricorn Hat
The Tricorn Hat is a bit tricky to get since it is located on the island to the west of Rhodes. Jump in a boat and head there. Look for a shipwreck, the hat will be found in the back of the ship.

Miner’s Hat
To find the Miner’s Hat, look at your map and head to the space between ‘Big’ and ‘Valley’ in the Big Valley. Here, search for an entrance to a mine (remember to bring a light source). Inside the mine, blow up the rocks using the plunger and go through the hole.

Turn right and you’ll enter a room that contains the Miner’s Hat, coupled with a unique knife.

Morion Helmet
The Morion Helmet is located at the top of Mount Hagen. It is very easy to find; just put your waypoint marker on the ‘M’. Once there, you can find the helmet on a skeleton.

Nevada Hat
The Nevada Hat is located behind the waterfall adjacent to Window rock. Be very careful while getting this hat. Slowly make your way around the center of the waterfall and go inside the cave to find this hat.

Civil War Hat
The RDR2 Civil War Hat can be found in an old Civil War-era house located next to the Kamassa River, directly west of the Van Horn Mansion. When you enter the house, go to the basement using the ladder. Here, you will find the hat, and also some other loot.

Scarecrow Hat
The Scarecrow Hat can be found south of Heartland Overflow (west of Emerald Ranch), on a Scarecrow. Shoot the hat off the Scarecrow to get it. If you do this in the middle of the day, without a mask, you will piss off the farmers. So, it’s best to be cautious with this hat.
