📋 About This Mod

-INFO-

I have added all the online variants to the single player to spawn with the SP grizzly bears. These bears now have working skinning animations with even correct coloured pelts. This is another way to add more content to your game and still have it blend into the world. Be aware that this does not now effect the legendary grizzly bear. There is a main version that adds the 3 online variants to the world of RDR2 with correct legendary bear as well as a version that unlocks an extra bear from MP wearing an escaped bear collar. Also this is a simple mod that requires no textures or swaps or anything like that just follow the install instructions and you're good to go.

-UPDATE-

I actually got how this file worked wrong and also the main version will also spawn online bears by Wallace Station. I was unaware of this because I didn't realise there's actually more then one main grizzly bear but they spawn in a sort of pattern were the Wallace station bear does change in the pattern. Having learnt this I realise the Wallace station version wasn't needed as the same main version worked just as well so more bears just weren't needed to be added. Also I have learnt a lot from these mods now and I think I can easily do them. The main version needed to be updated because it changed the order were the legendary bear changed, I have now fixed this so you get the right bear for that, other then that all bears seem to spawn in a mixed pattern it's just luck. As a sort of an apology for this I made a version were I added or unlocked should I say, an extra bear from MP not sure if from a mission, with a bear collar (I think it's like an escaped circus bear, not sure). This bear will also spawn random in the world of RDR2 but none of the added bears or unlocked bear have been given there own spawn point they just appeared in a pattern so they're not as frequent as they have to get their order from the main bears in game, so hopefully you don't get loads of bears with collars but very unlikely it will happen for that version.

Sorry last second appendments were made same version is kept and only one bear with collar added so you can experience more variety in the order they spawn.

-VERSIONS-

Online Bears Unlocked for SP - This contains the main 3 online bears to spawn also in the world of RDR2.

Online Bears Unlocked for SP (Bear Collar) - This contains online bears and an extra MP bear wearing a bear collar to spawn also in the world of RDR2.

The bears spawn in a sort of a set order, if you say for example, save near the bear spawning point by Wallace station, every time you load in and go there the bear that always spawns there will change each time in its cycle to the next variant, it goes through each bear in the order it seems they are in the list, so you do get to experience them all it's just luck at the time. The game does this with it's ow
