One of the very first item requests in RDR2 is from Dutch, who asks you to bring him a pipe. You need to visit Vetter’s Echo cabin west of Wallace Station to find it. Arthur Morgan and Dutch’s gang first settle in Horseshoe Overlook in Chapter 2. There are camp item requests that several gang members ask you for.
Let’s see how to find a pipe for Dutch and complete this request.

Where to Find Dutch’s Pipe in RDR2
To get that pipe for Dutch, saddle up, because it’s time to find a cabin named Vetter’s Echo. This cabin is west of Wallace Station, as marked on the map, just under Little Creek River and north of Big Valley.
As you can see, there’s this little cabin here in the middle of nowhere. When you get there, proceed with utmost caution. Why, you may ask? Because there’s a big fat grizzly bear inside the cabin waiting to end your cowboy soul.
The first time, I was oblivious to this fact and entered the cabin and got eaten alive by the bear. If you’re low on ammo, just let yourself get killed, then reload and enter the cabin to see that the bear is long gone and the cabin owner has been killed by him.
Anyway, there’s the pipe on top of the drawer. Pick it up. But don’t just leave yet. There are some goodies that you don’t want to miss out on.
There’s also a cigarette card with a black widow spider picture on it next to the typewriter. That’s not all. There’s a silver pocket watch that you can sell. And by the bed, there’s a health potion you can pick up.
How to Trigger Dutch’s Pipe Request
Dutch’s pipe request becomes available at Horseshoe Overlook during Chapter 2 after the gang settles there. So, to trigger his pipe request, you should interact with him several times. During one of those interactions, while Dutch’s smoking a cigarette, Arthur asks him, “How’s the cigar?” To which he replies, “Not bad, but sometimes I prefer a pipe.”
Then he proceeds to tell Arthur that he left his old pipe in Blackwater.
Then, when you open your log and look under your tasks, you can see that Dutch has asked for a pipe.
Dutch’s Pipe Request Reward: Vaquero Rider Spurs
When you’re done looting the cabin, it’s time to bring Dutch a pipe. Go to the camp and interact with Dutch and select “Give Request.” Dutch is so happy that, in return, he gives you the shiny Vaquero Rider Spurs.
FAQ
Can you get Dutch’s pipe before the request?
You can visit Vetter’s Echo before Dutch asks for the pipe, but the camp request can’t be completed until Dutch gives Arthur the task.
