![]() ![]() It’ll take a few hundred shots or several real-world minutes in water or mud to completely degrade a weapon. Weapons degrade when you fire them or when they’re submerged in water or mud. Over time, your weapons’ condition will degrade, and that will affect their condition - and impact the Damage, Fire Rate, and Reload stats. There are no stats for you to check here, but weapons that you use a lot - your favorites, you might say - will eventually give you a buff to accuracy, range or damage. You can track this by going into your menu and choosing Progress > Compendium > Weapons, then selecting the weapon. Favored weaponsĪs you use a weapon more, its Favorite Weapon Ranking will increase. You can see how far a stat can be improved when you compare the filled-in white part of the bar with the gray portion.You can’t improve a gun beyond the gray part. Some of the modifications you can make are purely cosmetic, but others - barrel length, rifling, sights and scopes - will improve your guns’ stats. More importantly, you can buy new Components for your guns. You’ll go to them to pretty up your guns or buy new ones. There are four Gunsmiths you can visit in Red Dead Redemption 2 - there are shops in Valentine, Rhodes, Saint Denis and Annesburg. This means two things: You’re probably not going to notice a difference between two (similar) guns, and, when comparing two guns, you’re only looking for very small differences. The other thing about the stats is that a lot of the weapons, especially similar weapons, have stats that are only fractionally different. The short answer is bigger numbers - or more filled-in bars - are better. How long does it take to reload this gun? 73. The numbers, though, don’t mean that much. The stats that your weapons have are presented on a 100-point scale. Weapon ammo capacity by type A note on gun stats Red Dead Redemption 2 weapon ammo capacity Type Even when you’re not in Dead Eye, it’s still good to know how many shots you’re working with. Capacity (or lack thereof) will come up while you’re using Dead Eye, since it determines how many bad guys you can shoot at once. The big thing you can’t see when looking at a gun’s stats is its capacity. You can see this stat reflected in the size of that gun’s targeting reticule. Accuracy, as you’d expect, means how often you hit what you’re aiming at. Just know that a low Reload stat means it’s a process that could cost you valuable time during a firefight. This is another stat tied to ammo capacity - which you can’t actually see without equipping and drawing that weapon. This is how long it takes to put one cartridge back into your gun to replace one you’ve fired. That means you can (kind of) use this stat as a proxy for ammo capacity. For guns with an ammo capacity of one like a Bolt Action Rifle, this will be low, while for guns like pistols, this will be high. This one is pretty self-explanatory as well - it’s basically a measure of how often you can shoot your gun. (The short version is Sidearms have a lot less Range than Longarms.) Even if you don’t use (or don’t think about) Aim Assist, Range will still tell you a little about a gun’s effectiveness at a distance. Range refers to locking on to an enemy - effectively, the maximum distance from you an enemy can be that will trigger the game’s Aim Assist mechanic. If you’re aiming for the body instead, you’ll have to also consider Fire Rate and Reload time (to get closer to a DPS calculation) when you think about Damage. If you’re using Dead Eye a lot and only landing perfectly placed headshots, Damage basically isn’t a factor at all. Damage works like you’d expect - more damage is more good - but there are some extra factors here. They’re all pretty much what you’d expect, but there’re a couple nuances we’ll point out. There are six stats for every gun, but only five we’ll talk about here - we’ll go into more detail on Condition below. We’re only going to focus on those 28 in this guide. That brings the number down to a much more manageable 28. Second, 21 of those are throwables and various bladed weapons like knives and axes, one is your bow (of which there is only one), and another is just your fists. Which we recognize is over 50, but is still worth pointing out. So, let’s talk about that “over 50” number.įirst, it’s 51. We’ll review how to read their stats and the basics of guns, then talk about the various types, where to buy or find them, and how to know what gun is right for you. This guide is here to break down everything you need to know about weapons (specifically, guns). Each weapon serves a purpose and comes in useful in different situations.īut with so many to choose from, lots of stats, and each gun’s own quirks, knowing what weapon to use when (and if it even makes a difference) is a daunting task. With over 50 weapons to choose from, Red Dead Redemption 2 gives you a lot of options for causing damage and mayhem.
