    How to find Vultures?

    Vultures being a skill that the 'guns for hire' people have (i know some people dont care for guns 4 hire), they each have 2 skills, the first is revealed once you recruit them and they rack up 5 kills, the 2nd after they get 12, they have some skills that can come in handy like hoarder that allows you to carry more ammo, or skills that revive you but the best is vulture, if they have this skill they can also loot bodies, and they usually find around double what you find (unless ubi has updated it out i havent updated my game in a while), i basically recruit people, get them on the mounted gun then drive them upto cultists until they rack up the required number of kills, then if they have vulture i keep them, if not, i ditch them and recruit another. My last game i had a vulture, and another who was a hoarder, and with these 2 i made some serious $$$ very quickly, even ended up with 2 g4h that both had vulture & hoarder as skills, but i started a new game and lost them, and i have searched high & low and wasted so much time, about 5hrs daily for the last few weeks but eventually only found 1 vulture, still not a single hoarder. How do you find vultures? Does the game generate the g4h skills randomly or do the same ones have the same skills each game? I have noticed the g4h names are recycled and some even have the same full names but i am not sure if the skills are randomised also, has anybody noticed?

    I completed faiths region and was forced to liberate her compound (i think if i remember correctly) but i have killed both the other 2 and not freed my friends from their compounds, so now i use faiths region as a safe space then drive into the others and its a slaughterfest, but i am hardly able to rack up any $ because i only have 1 vulture and if he gets killed i have to wait 8 minutes til i can recruit him again and you can kill alot of cultists in 8 minutes! Anybody do this also? How you find vultures?

    It's random. If you want to make money, here's my method:

    I recommend using Jess Black, a Gun for Hire with a bow and/or a Gun for Hire with a melee weapon. Collect bait and spawn in cougars, bears and/or wolves; order your Guns for Hire to kill them 'cleanly'. You will get twice the amount of skins. You will get four skins if you have the Harvest Master perk. On New Game+, spend at least 8 perk points on 'Throwable Bag' and 50 perk points on 'Journey Pack' if you want to maximize profits. 15 baits is enough to collect 60 skins. Hopefully the Guns for Hire are not using fire arrows or throwing knives.

    You can harvest baits by hunting other animals. If you have some 'The Fast' and 'The Furious' homeopathics, start punching moose and bisons for 4 skins and 2 baits each. It also helps if you have Boomer following you around since Boomer can highlight enemies and animals.

    Here's the math:

    Alpha Skunk $400(60) = $24,000
    Alpha Wolverine $400(60) = $24,000
    Alpha Hare $350(60) = $21,000
    Alpha Caribou $350(60) = $21,000
    Alpha Deer $300(60) = $18,000
    Alpha Moose $300(60) = $18,000
    Alpha Black Bear $300(60) = $18,000
    Hare $300(60) = $18,000
    Cougar $225(60) = $13,500
    Wolf Leader $225(60) = $13,500
    Bison $200(60) = $12,000
    Moose $200(60) = $12,000
    Caribou $190(60) = $11,400
    Elk $190(60) = $11,400
    Black Bear $185(60) = $11,100
    Grizzly Bear $185(60) = $11,100
    Deer $180(60) = $10,800
    Pronghorn $180(60) = $10,800
    Boar $170(60) = $10,200
    Skunk $170(60) = $10,200
    Wolf $170(60) = $10,200
    Wolverine $170(60) = $10,200
    Feather $100(60) = $6,000


    Imagine if you have 60 bison skins, 60 moose skins, 60 grizzly bear skins, 60 black bear skins, 60 cougar skins and 60 wolf leader skins. If you sell them all, you would accumulate a lot of money over time.
