#RDR2 SILENT SNIPER RIFLE SERIES#

Rifles: Springfield - The Springfield rifle offers a good balance of damage and accuracy, only slightly outperforming the Bolt-Action. The Semi-Automatic is another solid choice. The Volcanic's sheer damage output might make it the winner, but fire rate and reload speeds put others above it. Pistols: Volcanic - Pistols are the hardest category, since many weapons are good for different situations. Some of the other revolvers surpass the Schofield in one stat or another, but none are this well off in all of them at once. Revolver: Schofield - The Schofield offers good balance in terms of stats, and is fairly cheap at $84.

Nonetheless, here are those guns that are numerically a cut above the rest. Ultimately, some stat differences are so minimal that you can just pick whatever gun suits your playstyle the best and stick to that instead of our suggestions. Weapon stats cover various different aspects, meaning that there isn't any one specific 'best weapon' in every category. Viking Hatchet - Found in some ruins at the bend of the river north of Annesburg, the hybrid melee-throwing weapon rests on an altar. Hunter Hatchet - Whacked into a stump and left there next to a house you find north of the trail running through the Grizzlies. Again, this is a weapon with a different Wrap but stat-wise the same as its regular counterpart.Īncient Tomahawk - This weapon is sticking out of a broken target north-east of the Calumet Ravine. Rare Double-Barrel Shotgun - Dropped by a settler in a house right under the 'a' on the map's Manito Glade inscription.

Identical stats to normal Shotgun, but it has a special Wrap. Rare Shotgun - Dropped by a hermit in a cave northwest of Big Valley. Rare Rolling Back Rifle - Rare Sniper Rifle eared when completing the 'Magicians for Sport' story mission. Stone Hatchet, Double-Action Revolver - See this article for the Hatchet and this article for the Revolver. After all, a good gunslinger is good with any gun, but needs to be stylish. Stat-wise, none of the three are winners, but they are unique keepsakes and are designed with looks, not performance, in mind. If you defeat them in a gunfight, your reward will be their signature weapon.

Midnight's Pistol, Flaco's Revolver, Granger's Revolver - A series of side missions called the Gunslinger missions send Arthur after a few of the West's most famed duelists. We'll take a look at how you can get each unique weapon first, then move on to a breakdown of best weapons by category. Now, the game's unique weapons aren't necessarily the best. The others can improve reload speed, range, handling and accuracy, so investing in them is definitely a good way to spend your hard-stolen cash. The Wrap is just the weapon's skin, how it looks and doesn't affect stats. Five components - Stock, Barrel, Sights, Scope and Wrap - can be upgraded.

Upgrading weapons can make them stronger as well. Ammo capacity upgrades are also available as the Bandolier and Gunbelt. Upgraded Holsters decrease weapon wear by 20% and buying/looting gun oil will let you do a quick fix out in the field. Keep in mind that Red Dead Redemption 2 features a weapon degradation system, so you need to clean and maintain your guns if you want them to perform to par.
