VERSION HISTORY [VERHS] ============================================================================== xxx Started this Guide on 18 September 2010. xxx Sep 18, 2010 - Version 0.50 - Started Guide. Compiled most info, Basic formatting ripped from my Far Cry 2 Weapons Guide Sep 19, 2010 - Version 1.00 - Tweaked the formatting. Adding info to all weapons, fixing things all round. Considered finished (for now) 3. INTRODUCTION [INTRO] ============================================================================== This Guide is a Guide for all weapons and similar information of the Rockstar Game, Red Dead Redemption. It is a sandbox game based on the Old West, in the flavour of GTA, but with more The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The game has great voice acting, a good script, and great gameplay. The Old West is a under-used setting for video-games, thankfully in many regards, and Red Dead Redemption captures the spirit and atmosphere of the Old West. The vastness of the game world delivers a feeling of wonder. And dread, in it's own way. I really felt for the people that lived in those ages, for it was not a pleasant existence. Many characters lament on the fact that the Old West is dying, and it was. You get that feeling from RDR. The Value of your life was balanced with the weight of the bullet in your gun, and bullet's weren't too valuable. If you have any interest in the Old West, from books to Film, this is really a treat. I love a good western, and thankfully, there isn't the saturation that WWII games/film has experienced. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is another Western game available, but it does not capture the real spirit of the West. It does, however, have some great gun-play, so it is certainly a good buy if you haven't got it already. And go watch some westerns after this. Oh yeah! If you find something missing, please contact me via email. If this Guide helps, or you just enjoyed it, recommend it to all your fellow players. This is my second guide, but have been a user of a few years, and am ready to upgrade from lurker status. I will include all the DLC weapon and equipment info when applicable and if I can. I will say, I have not all played the DLC's so, if the info is incorrect, blame various forums. I take no responsibility for the validity of the information contain herein. If you loose money, a contest or anything else, it's not my fault you trusted a pseudo-WIKI. Cheers! 4. Weapons and Equipment [WEAPN] ============================================================================== In Red Dead Redemption, it pays to have the best weapons. You will be shot down, murdered and gored many times, so make sure you can defend yourself properly. Rockstar has been kind enough to include an stockpile of weapons for us, so it can (not really) be confusing when deciding on what to carry into a battle. I am including multiplayer unlock ranks in the main details of the weapons, be sure to look to section 5 for a concise list of the required rank to unlock. Weapon Details Format --------------------- *EXAMPLE* *EXAMPLE* NAME == DESCRIPTION: //Real Life Basis WEAPON SLOT: //Slot WEAPON CLASS: //Type of ammo used FIRE MODE: //Single-Shot/Semi-Auto/Full-Auto/Bolt-Action WEAPON COST: //How much is it gunna set you back?

Weapon-Based Achievements/Trophies [ACHIV] ============================================================================== EXQUISITE TASTE (10gs)(Bronze) Purchase a rare weapon from a gunsmith. - The weapons that unlock this are: - Carcano Rifle - Evans Repeater - LeMat Revolver - Mauser Pistol - Semi-auto Shotgun BULLSEYE (20gs)(Bronze) Get 250 headshots in any game mode. - It's 250 enemies in Multi- OR Single-Player. Not both. So grind away in only one mode for it. They do not stack. Try replaying a hideout many times. Dead eye if your aim sucks. And this counts to your "IN A HAIL OF BULLETS" and "LONG ARM OF MARSTON" achievements, so do this first. IN A HAIL OF BULLETS (20gs)(Silver) Kill 500 enemies with any pistol or revolver in any game mode. - It's 500 enemies in Multi- OR Single-Player. Not both. So grind away in only one mode for it. They do not stack. Thieves Landing is a good place to spam. Just save often. Check your stats in Main Menu, Stats, Combat and tally your Revolver/Pistol kills. That's how many you have. LONG ARM OF MARSTON (20gs)(Silver) Kill 500 enemies with any rifle, repeater, or shotgun - It's 500 enemies in Multi- OR Single-Player. Not both. So grind away in only one mode for it. They do not stack. Twin Rock's is good, or Solomon's Folly. Check your stats in Main Menu, Stats, Combat and tally your Rifle,Repeater and Shotgun kills. That's how many you have. MOWING THEM DOWN (20gs)(Silver) Kill 500 enemies with a mounted weapon in any game mode - It's 500 enemies in Multi- OR Single-Player. Not both. So grind away in only one mode for it. They do not stack. Replaying a story mission with a mounted gun does NOT add to the tally. So for multiplayer, just grind a private server or something. For single-player, the safe-house in El Matadero has a mounted gun on its roof. Shoot away! Beware, too many dead bodies can cause a slowdown, and ultimate game crash. Save often. THE GUNSLINGER (5gs)(Silver) Get a headshot while in Expert Mode in Single-player. - Switch over to Expert Mode in Main Menu, Options, Controller and shoot someone in the head. Expert mode has NO aim assist, so it can be difficult at first. If you just suck, hogtie a bounty, switch to Expert Mode, then execute the poor guy. Guilt Guaranteed 8. Frequently Asked Questions [FAQS] ============================================================================== If you have a question, refer here, then the tips on the weapons themselves (Above) then email me. And I might add it here if I can see this is a commonish problem Q: Is there a way to check the name of a weapon that you have just picked up? A: When you pick it up, it will display the name. Usually, just check it in the weapons select radial menu Q: Is the bandolier really useful, and when should I buy it? A: Tell the truth, before I bought it, I rarely hit the ammo cap, after I bought it, I never hit the ammo cap. Unless you are very trigger happy, you don't REALLY need. It adds to your character model, so its certainly worth it Q: How do I hogtie? RDR has told me to lasso this bounty, but I can't? A: This pissed me off for a while. RDR will allow you to take on Bounty Missions with the option to take the bounty alive, but does not give you the ability to actually take them alive. You HAVE to have the Lasso, given to you by Bonnie in her story mission, "Tamed Horses, Wild Passions", despite having you hogtie someone in an earlier story mission, sans Lasso. To actually take someone hostage(hogtie) just shoot them in the leg, and while they aren't shooting you, get closer and lasso them. Then go over to them and push the hogtie button. By the way, NOT AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLAYER 9.
