Can't buy Butcher's Table

[Smithy]

Trying to start the trader role but the Butcher's Table does not show up at my camp? Apparently this has been an issue for over a year since I'm seeing reddit posts from last year with this same issue

1. Yes, I have read the letter from Cripps.
2. Yes, I have met him at the general store
3. I tried buying the table as a solo player
4. I tried buying the table as part of a posse

I'm guessing it's glitched from when I viewed the cinematic but didn't pay the gold bars immediately. Is anybody else still having this issue, or know a way to fix it?

How? Did you try to buy? By walking over to Cripps sitting next to the wagon (or just near the wagon will do), and pressing on the E key when the prompt comes up?

[Smithy]

yes

[Jed Clampet]

So, it's in the list after pressing the E key? But blanked out? Or not in the list at all?

[Smithy]

It does not show up at all

I thought I saw something somewhere about being on an active mission - not sure I have one active at all, but maybe this is the cause of the issue. I'm gonna have to try to look around more, but nothing is showing up as of right now

[Smithy]

also - I can't buy the collector role either

[Jed Clampet]

No, when you exit the game any active missions are lost/terminated, is my understanding.

I just checked, it does not show up in my list because I've already bought it. But the only place you can buy Cripps' Butchers Table is via the E key, then selecting Equipment...

I'd give you my 5 off Gold for Butcher Table coupon but they won't let me. I think it was a twitch prime coupon.

There is a post from last year regarding this. I remember them having to create a new character. TBH, it might be quicker just to do that vs waiting for 2 to 3 weeks for Rockstar to try to fix. Took me that long for free bounty hunter license fix.

then it's a glitch that's been unfixed for months, I saw a reddit post from 10 months ago with this same problem that went unresolved

how demoralizing. I'm just not going to bother playing online anymore - I'm thankful I didn't buy this gold, just wasted hours of my life grinding for it.

thanks anyway

[Jed Clampet]

You must check the post office and read the letter from Cripps before the Butcher's Table will appear in the Equipment list.... try that?

I was able to buy the Butcher's Table only last week, so no "glitch" there, try google (not reddit).

[Smithy]

I have done that, like I said - I met him in the general store, but just did not pay him the gold needed to start the role (because it was the first day I played online and didn't know what gold was/how to get it). I've tried everything I could think of, everything I saw when I googled the issue. The game even tells me to buy the butcher's table from wilderness outfitters to start the role, but it's not there

I saw you edit your post Dr. Peeper - not really interested in starting over a new character. just gonna steer clear of online.

OK, problem solved.

[Shadowzilla]

Same issue here except I've been playing Online for awhile, once the new update came out the option to buy it vanished and now I can't get started on it.

[ahahahahahah]

Hey man, same issue for me. I started recently and was able to get Bounty Hunter and Collector before this week's update. Pretty sure it's a glitch from the new update. I can buy Moonshiners though from the Progress menu so that's weird. Anyways, super frustrating that there are still major bugs like this but I'd recommend playing once they're fixed.

Moonshine Shack is different, that's a property that you purchase. This would be more like purchasing the Distiller Upgrade for your moonshine shack. Both Table and Distiller are purchased at a "store" within your property/camp. Post a Screenshot of the Western Outfitters store. I wonder if anything else is missing.
