How Perks, Trinkets and Talismans work in Red Dead Redemption 2

To earn Perks, you have to collect Trinkets and Talismans. These are crafted at Fences, the illegal shopkeeper found dotted through Red Dead Redemption 2's map.

Provide them with the relevant item and some cash, and you'll walk away with your item. Most of them require items of significant rarity, such as tracking down Legendary Animals through to items earned from collecting entire lines of collectables.

Once you have a Trinket or Talisman, its effects will be on your character for good. To view what has been unlocked, press pause, then select Player, then Arthur to see them listed.

Meanwhile, there is a Trinket and Talisman for owners of the Special / Ultimate Edition. You'll find these in the clothing chest at the foot of your bed at camp from the start of Chapter 2 - there's no other steps required.
