All pistols and revolvers in Red Dead Redemption

One of the advantages of Red Dead Redemption being set in the Wild West is that players can enjoy the weapons of that era . And that means using revolvers, tomahawks, hunting knives, blunderbusses, dynamite and any weapon that Spaghetti Western lovers can imagine . Today, in this article we compile all the weapons in Rockstar ‘s game , also reviewing the statistics of each one so you can see which are the best.

All pistols and revolvers in Red Dead Redemption

We start with the simplest, but quite lethal firearms in this title: pistols and the different types of revolvers . First of all, you should know that these types of weapons will always be found at the top of the weapon selection menu. As a general rule, they have less range and firepower than long firearms, but their main advantage is that they can be used with one hand .

Therefore, they are excellent for use while driving . In addition, they have larger magazines and reloading is also faster compared to other firearms. Despite all this, they are not very recommended for hunting animals. Here is the list of all the pistols and revolvers:

All Red Dead Redemption repeating rifles and rifles

These types of weapons will always be found at the bottom of the weapon selection menu. Of course, they have a longer range and more firepower than pistols . In addition, rifles are excellent at long distances , making them ideal for hunting small prey.

Repeating rifles, on the other hand, shoot faster and have very large magazines , although they are less powerful. In short, they are very good for hunting on horseback . Here is the list of all the weapons of this type:

All Red Dead Redemption sniper rifles

Weapons of this type can always be found at the bottom right of the weapon selection menu. In addition, these rifles, ideal for snipers , have very precise sights. They have excellent firepower and a very long range. Although they will only be useful at long distances .

Keep in mind, though, that these are the only firearms in the game without auto-aim . Therefore, they won’t be useful if you’re riding a horse. Here’s the list of the two weapons of this type:

All Shotguns in Red Dead Redemption

All shotguns can be found on the right side of the weapon selection menu. They are very good weapons at short distances, as they do not fire a single bullet, but many pellets. They are also very fast weapons and reload quite quickly . Ideal for very direct confrontations. Here is the list with all the shotguns in the game:

All throwing weapons in Red Dead Redemption

Throwing weapons are found at the top left of the weapon selection menu. These are weapons that you throw and therefore do not function as shots. Many of them are ideal for dealing with ambushes or stealth kills . Here is the complete list of throwing weapons in RDR:

All Mounted Weapons in Red Dead Redemption

These weapons are stationary and cannot be moved by the player from where they are standing. However, they are extremely powerful and far superior to guns, aside from offering unlimited ammo .
