2. 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.

it has it's fan's, not me

High Power, Incredible fire-rate and large mag make this a weapon
of choice for anyone. While the High-Power Pistol is more powerful,

an Expert Targeting situation

7. 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

Rockstar, for a great game. And for many other great games.
And You for reading
I used MTV Gaming guide to the multiplayer ranks, and added the DLC
weapons info, what little there was.
And RedDead.Wikia.com for various weapon tips and real-life weapon basis
details. Really don't know how people figured out what the real guns were.
That's some detail....
