Madam Nazar in Red Dead Online is one of the most helpful and interesting NPCs you'll meet in the game, allowing you to grab some unique new items and take on quests that will earn you extra XP and money.
Needless to say, working with Madam Nazar is well worth your time as an outlaw. However, not all of Madam Nazar's collectibles, like Arrowheads, are easy to find. In fact, it can be quite complicated to understand where to look for these collectibles without understanding how the game's collectible locations function.
In this guide, we'll explain how to find Arrowheads in Red Dead Online so you can add this to your Madam Nazar Collection and complete the weekly challenge.
Where To Find Arrowheads In Red Dead Online
Most of Madam Nazar's Collectibles move based on cycles. There are 6 cycles in Red Dead Online. The cycle in Red Dead Online changes each day at 12 am GMT (8 pm ET / 5 pm PT).
The Arrowheads also move based on cycles; however, they work a little differently. There are 12 Arrowhead dig locations scattered around the map.
Rather than the Arrowhead locations just moving when the cycles change, the Arrowheads found at each spot are randomized. For example, if two different players tried to dig up an Arrowhead in one location on the same day at the same time, they would dig up a different type of Arrowhead.
What this means is that the Arrowhead you need could be located in one of many different locations around the map depending on its random spawn. You'll likely need to search multiple locations in order to find the Arrowhead. Unfortunately, this means that you won't be able to use the interactive Red Dead Online map to pin down the current location of the Arrowheads; instead, you'll only be able to see all of their potential spawn locations depending on the current cycle.
