Fishing

Fishing is a universal activity that gives XP, Moola, fish, and a chance at rare items.

How fishing works

Buy a Fishing Rod for 150 Moola from Tackle Bait at the Docks.

Hold the mouse button to cast. When a fish bites, complete the QTE to reel it in. Rarer catches have longer QTEs.

Fish can be cooked at a campfire. Eating one raw makes the character vomit and briefly stuns them.

Bait

Bait is sold at Tackle Bait:

• 1 Bait — 10 Moola
• 20 Bait — 150 Moola

It is used automatically; it does not need to be equipped. Each cast consumes one bait, halves pull time, and raises the Legendary chance from 0.1% to 0.2%.

Catch chances and loot

Rarity	Chance without bait	Chance with bait	Possible catches
Common	81.7%	81.7%	Cod, Bass, or Snapper
Rare	16.25%	16.25%	A chest containing cooked fish, Moola, Dynamite, Throwing Knives, Molotovs, Poncho Blueprints, DogBanes, or Meteor Shards
Epic	2%	2%	Rusted Mare's Leg, Rusty Snubnose, a Poncho Blueprint, or a Tackle Bait Can
Legendary	0.1%	0.2%	Arrow Shard

DogBanes have a 4% chance to appear in a Rare chest. A Tackle Bait Can gives 10 Bait when used. An Arrow Shard guarantees a Stand.

Fish

Sell Cod, Bass, and Snapper to the Fisherman at the Docks, or cook them at a campfire. Cooked fish restores a small amount of health and grants an effect for about 20 seconds:

• Cooked Cod — 15% damage reduction
• Cooked Bass — reduced stamina consumption
• Cooked Snapper — speed boost

Do not leave fish on a campfire too long; it burns.

Restoring fishing weapons

Rusted Mare's Legs and Rusty Snubnoses are Epic catches. Both cost 1,500 Moola to restore at Flint, the blacksmith behind the bridge before the city. After payment, the restored weapon is sent to bank storage.

Item	Restored weapon	Weapon slot	Rusted version
Rusted Mare's Leg	Mare's Leg	Secondary	Sells for 225 Moola; does not drop on death or leave the inventory
Rusty Snubnose	Snubnose	Primary	Sells for 225 Moola; does not drop on death or leave the inventory
