There are 4 known eggs which are bugged (when you try to shoot them down from the ground, the nest is destroyed, but the egg is stuck in the air):

1. Hawk egg - cycle 6 (video)
2. Egret egg - cycle 1 (video)
3. Egret egg - cycle 4 (video)
4. Spoonbill egg - cycle 5 (video)

It wasn't always this way, and apparently these four eggs are always bugged only on PC (though some of them can be sometimes bugged for console players as well).

After some investigation and testing different things I found working solutions to this problem:

1. Shoot them down from the roof of a wagon - if you come close to the tree with your prison wagon (or stolen coach), climb on the roof and shoot it from there, it can make the egg fall to the ground.

It works almost 100% on consoles, but on PC it's unfortunately not enough in most cases (for me it worked only with egg ② - Egret egg from cycle 1 in Bluewater Marsh). Also, there are indications that it doesn't always work on consoles -one Xbox player told he couldn't shoot down Spoonbill egg ④ even from the roof of the wagon, but It was the only report like that, all other feedbacks I received from console players were positive.

2. PC - temporarily change some of your graphics settings.

There were strong indications that on PC this bug has to do with graphics /physics, so I performed a number of tests to find the key settings to try and fix the issue, and I found them!

A. Lock your FPS to 30 (For example: Refresh rate - 60, Vsync - half).

This allowed me to shoot down eggs ①, ② and ③ even from the ground, with no need to use the wagon!

B. Tessellation - Low.

This one was necessary only for Spoonbill egg ④, along with 30 FPS and the wagon, It wouldn't fall to the ground unless I changed both of those settings and used the wagon as well.

I played with other settings, but nothing affected this bug except FPS and Tessellation, I can keep all other settings on High/Ultra with all the bells and whistles enabled, 4K resolution with DLSS on or off, and I can still shoot the egg down with 30 FPS and Tessellation set on low.

When you come to one of the bugged eggs, simply open your graphics settings and change Refresh rate, Vsync and Tessellation, collect the egg and change those settings back.

You can try the wagon and/or the graphics settings I mentioned, it's possible in your case different solutions will work on different eggs, I suspect it doesn't have to be exactly as it works for me.

I hope it will help you with these bugged eggs. I will really appreciate your feedback in the comments!

I’ve spent the last two weeks topping off my collector sets. I’ve been missing just one coin and one arrowhead for the entire time.

Multiple times, I’ve cleared the entire map of potential locations.

I should have spent that time collecting bottles and wild flowers over again multiple times and would have been worth the time and energy.

This is so deflating.

i’ve found every card except for eight and ten of wands, i’ve had a look on youtube for help but haven’t found them anyone have some locations i could try please.

i have everything the metal detector the binoculars the shovel and it lets me do every other dig related thing but the fossils ive gone to every cycle and nothing has spawned ive got the maps and thats the only way ive been able to collect them is there any way to fix this??

I learned it wasn't always this way, and apparently these four eggs are bugged only on PC (though there are some indications it can affect console players as well).

And later someone taught me to shoot them down from the roof of a wagon - if you come close to the tree with your prison wagon (or stolen coach), climb on the roof and shoot it from there, it can make the egg fall to the ground.

But this method helped me only with egg ② (Egret egg from cycle 1 in Bluewater Marsh), all other 3 eggs were still stuck in the air no matter what I tried to do...

Although, later I learned that people I played with indeed can't collect eggs ③ and ④ same as me, but they can get egg ① (Hawk egg from cycle 6 on the slope above O'Creagh's run), this egg is bugged only for me... Other players could shoot it down from their wagons and when I did the same it remained stuck on the tree. Even when the egg was shot down by someone else just before I was coming to this spot, unlike other eggs I didn't see it on the ground, it was still stuck in the air...

But yesterday I asked about it on the RDR2 Collector Map Discord, and the contributor told me he tested this and maybe lowering my FPS could fix this issue, since apparently too high (or sometimes too low) framerate can break interaction with an object... I had my Vsync ON locked on 60 FPS (my monitor refresh rate), so today I temporarily lowered it by half to 30 FPS.

And IT WORKED, I shot the egg and it fell to the ground!!! And I didn't even had to climb the wagon, I jumped on the rock floating above the ground near the tree and shot the egg with my varmint from there... This is the first time since I started playing (2,000+ hrs. since 2021) I got this specific egg!.. Unbelievable... %)))

Maybe this will help some of you too, but I'd like to investigate this thing a bit further, so please, answer the poll! Thanks!

Also, please, share in the comments how your personal experience with those four eggs has been.

Is there any place where it will always spawn, or is there any way of finding it other than going to all coin and random dig sites. Because I can't find it for shit, I have multiple of every other coin, and some I have 10 of. It's the damn 1800 gold quarter I am never able to find. Any help is appreciated :)

It would really help to be able to share snippets of the map, for example... I don't really understand why this option was disabled here in the first place...

Thank you!

P.S. I also sent a message about it to the moderators of this subreddit.

I am farming collectors and i cant find any digspots even though i have the shovel and am over lvl 8 in collectors. Any fix? (dont mind the name, very old account)

hi idk if anyone will see this but when collecting items can you collect multiple of the same item within the same cycle? for example could i collect more than one gosselin white necklaces whilst being in the same day cycle? thank you

I can not for the life of me find the damn 1800 gold quarter, I have every other coin, and some I have duplicates of. Is it a rare coin or something?

I'm on mobile, sorry for any confusion in my formatting.

I was looking through here and other RDR2 communities and couldn't find a helpful forum for how to get this bracelet.

I use the Jean Ropke Collectors Map to help me gather as many collectables as possible quickly since I can get so much money from the full sets.

https://jeanropke.github.io/RDR2CollectorsMap/

The top left corner of the map either displays real time, in game time, or completion/collection percentage. You ca tap/click it to change what it displays.

This bracelet only spawns once every 24 hours in real time when all item spawns reset.

It has a set spawn inside of the Rio Del Lobo House in New Austin, Southwest of Lake Don Julio.

It is inside the wardrobe at the foot of the bed.

Edit: specifying which corner to check for the next reset.

Here's an Art of my favourite character (not in games or movies but anywhere) Arthur Morgan 🤠. It took me 17 hours and 3 coffee mugs. Hope this was worth it.
