Red Dead Redemption/Weapons

There are many weapons in the multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption. They can be unlocked by ranking up.

Cattleman Revolver
The Cattleman Revolver is a general-purpose revolver available to the player from the start of multiplayer.

Volcanic Pistol
The Volcanic Pistol is a pistol available to a player at Rank 5. It is a fairly weak pistol compared to others, and has a low fire rate, but causes sufficient damage to be able to kill enemies in two or three shots.

Schofield Revolver
The Schofield Revolver is a single-action six-shot revolver, available to a player from Rank 9. It fires a powerful .45 round and is effective at killing enemies quickly.

Double-Action Revolver
The Double-Action Revolver is a revolver available at Rank 17. It can fire at a much faster rate than a standard revolver, but at a reduced accuracy. It has a medium clip-size.

Dynamite
Dynamite is an explosive available to the player from Rank 15. A player can carry a maximum of two sticks at a time. When using dynamite, the fuse is automatically lit whilst the player is aiming the projectile, leaving it prone to explode in the player's hand if it is not thrown within a time limit. It has a moderate blast radius and is useful for killing many enemies in one place, for example those entering through a door.

Fire Bottle
Fire Bottles are projectiles which explode into flames on impact. They are unlocked to a player at Rank 22, and a player can carry a maximum of two of them at a time. They do not kill a player, instead knocking them to the floor for several seconds and reducing health. They are often used by reinforcement NPCs when clearing a gang hideout.

Throwing Knife
Throwing Knives are available to the player from Rank 3. They are small knives which can kill a player in two hits. A player can carry twenty of them at a time.

Rifles
Rifles are single-shot weapons which are fairly accurate and have moderate range.

Repeater Carbine
The Repeater Carbine is the first rifle the player unlocks in multiplayer mode, at Rank 2. It is a short rifle which is effective when the player is on horseback.

Winchester Repeater
The Winchester Repeater is a reliable rifle which the player unlocks in multiplayer at Rank 8.

Springfield Rifle
The Springfield Rifle is a highly accurate and powerful rifle which is effective at a medium to long range. It is unlocked to the player at Rank 13, but it can also be gained by playing the Gaptooth Breach hideout. It is often used by NPCs from towers and cliffs where it can be extremely deadly.

Hunting Knife
The Hunting Knife is a melee weapon available from the start of multiplayer. It inflicts major damage to animals and can be used in combat to seriously damage another player.
