Unicorn
Unicornshave a1% chanceto replaceregular horseswhen spawning, including those ridden by Outlaws. They can be sold for$250 alive or $150 dead, making them valuable but rare. Obtaining aUnicornis required to complete certainEaster Egg challengesand earn aBadge. Players can increase their chances by searchinghorse groups, taming them in enclosed spaces, or stealing one from anOutlaw, though this risks theUnicorn’s death.
Horse
Horsesspawn across the map, usually in groups oftwo to six, and can also appear withOutlawsandZombie Soldiersas mounts. Horses are skittish and flee from players, but players can tame them by placing a saddle, which lets them travel faster and pull horse carts for extra storage. Although tamed horses provide great value, hostile entities often target them, and they do not regenerate health.Capturingwild horses iseasierinenclosed areasor by herding them toward structures. Players should keep multiple horses on standby for backup. They can store horses by welding them to the train. Although players can ride horses without a saddle, controlling them becomes significantly more challenging.
