Fishing
Buy a Fishing Rod from Tackle Bait at the Docks for 150 Moola. Hold the mouse button to cast toward the cursor, then complete the reeling QTE when something bites. Rarer catches take longer to reel in. A shaking QTE can occur, and crocodiles can be caught while fishing.
Bait
Bait costs 10 Moola each or 150 Moola for 20 at Tackle Bait. It is used automatically when you cast: one Bait halves the wait for a bite and raises the Legendary chance from 0.1% to 0.2%.
Catches
| Rarity | Chance | Catches |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 81.7% | Cod (35 Moola), Bass (45 Moola), Snapper (25 Moola) |
| Rare | 16.25% | Chest with Moola or items such as cooked fish, Dynamite, Throwing Knives, Molotovs, Poncho Blueprints, Dogbane Herbs, and Meteor Shards |
| Epic | 2% | Rusty Mare's Leg, Rusty Snubnose, Poncho Blueprint, or Tackle Bait Can |
| Legendary | 0.1%; 0.2% with Bait | Arrow Shard |
Dogbane Herbs have a 4% chance inside a Rare chest. A Tackle Bait Can gives 10 Bait when used. You can also catch an Urn of Undead Ashes; using it gives 1–3 Undead Ashes.
Using your catch
Sell fish at the Docks, or cook them at a campfire. Cooked Fish restores a little health and gives a buff for about 20 seconds: Cod reduces damage taken by 15%, Bass reduces stamina use, and Snapper increases speed. Take fish off the fire before it burns; eating it raw causes vomiting and a brief stun.
Flint restores a Rusty Mare's Leg or Rusty Snubnose for 1,500 Moola. The restored weapon goes to bank storage. A rusted weapon sells for 225 Moola and is kept on death and departure.
