Fresh Leather is the very rare, uncured version of Leather. It can be used as a Material for crafting or repairing certain items once they have Cured into Cured Leather.
Overview[]
Fresh Leather can only be found at outside locations such as Poacher's Camp, The Ravine, and the Maintenance Yard, and may be cured into Cured Leather over 5 days. The "Fresh Leather" item is still present in The Long Dark, but is extremely rare that cannot be created in any way outside of world generation at game start. Fresh Leather also decays over time, like fresh animal hides and guts, making it even more difficult to find the already rare item before it decays to 0% condition inside a container and is deleted.
Fresh Leather is so rare of a find that many players mistakenly believe it is Cut/Discontinued Content. Most instances of this item will have already cured indoors at 76% by the time the player finds them, or will be outdoors at 0% if the player takes too long.
Early Game Builds[]
In early builds of The Long Dark (alpha/beta), Fresh Leather was a very common material obtained from Carcass Harvesting Deer. Instead of Fresh Deer Hide being produced, "Fresh Leather" would be harvested; this item could then be converted into "Cured Leather" by curing it indoors, and then used for repairing clothing. Cured Leather is the default form of Leather found in the game, and is found by Harvesting leather footwear, gloves, the Moose-Hide Satchel, finding it in the game world, and Beachcombing.
