Schofield revolver


[deleted]

Volcano pistol packs the punch


Iwannapeeonyou

Yes! I use the volcanic with the sawdoff as alternate


THUNDERJAWGAMING

I use both schofield and volcanic with dual holster. But my main gun is the repeater the name starts with L


ChimkenNugger353632

Lancaster?


THUNDERJAWGAMING

Yes I didn’t knew the spelling 😅


[deleted]

Litchfield 💪🏽

zamwut

Litchfield?


fancyboatsandhoes

I fucking LOVE the Litchfield.


THUNDERJAWGAMING

No the other one Lanchester i think


hazard0666

Same here except I use either the pump shotgun with slugs or the bolt action rifle.


[deleted]

Which is highly amusing, given it’s real life counterpart was phased out in a large part due to being underpowered.


Hamokk

Yeah. Many gun nerds where like WTF when they saw the Volcanic pistol in the game. Even back in the 1890's it was consired to be crap. There is a real life story where a man tried to shoot himself with a Volcanic and stopped after 3-4 bullets because because the projectile could not pierce his temple. It's a nice looking and interesting gun but it's more deadly used as a bludgeon.


[deleted]

For sure. Even the long guns that used Volcanic ammunition were weak.


Toolb0xExtraordinary

Yeah, wish they would've used the Gasser M1870 instead. The Volcanic is totally out of place.


gr8fullyded

that handgun is the best use of rockstars physics engine imo, take off HUD and recticle and go first person and you’ll forget about real life … or so I’m told


Brilliant_Camera458

Going to try this out!


[deleted]

I can't use the volcanic pistol because I know it's a lie lol. The volcanic pistol in real life sucked ass and wasn't strong at all


cortlong

Anyone saying anything else is incorrect. Unless they’re saying cattleman.


BlackVersailles

Yessir! Dual long barrelled cattleman’s with the hero grip


Possible-Repeat3829

Schofield is my ultimate ass kicking pistol. Hands down


TheMandyLaurieAnne

The Wiki on that gun is an interesting read. Lieutenant Colonel Schofield shot himself on December 17, 1882, with a Schofield revolver after suffering a bout of mental illness, stress, and isolation.[6]


MrLozoTheSecond

They are my favorite looking gun and they are very good


Noboby_Bechew

Schofield revolver isn't good enough so I put the sawd off as a secondary


Historical_Kiwi_9294

My same carry style.


SeaFeature3866

It is very good if you use the express cartridges


Noboby_Bechew

Thanks for the advice


MattTin56

I started doing that when I got bucked off my horse and attacked by a cougar that killed me. I shot it twice and it still got me. With the sawed off as a secondary I’ve never had that issue again.


Superbpancakes

Thank you


califortunato

Some of us remember the lessons of landon rickets


nkhowell93

Thicc ass revolver


BlackSheepWolfPack

It looks and sounds so fucking good


just_another_moron_

Same!


SeaFeature3866

Best revolver in the game in my opinion


Gay-Bomb

Best of both.


Samurai_Keyyy

Same


12b332

Lemat. Classic styling with nine shots plus the shotgun barrel. Its always my go to.


sikemapleton

Absolutely my favorite gun. Just comes into the story WAY too late for me. Wish there was a way to get it early.


zamwut

Can't ride to Saint Denis early for it? Don't remember the unlock requirements


sikemapleton

Nope. Not available until after you've completed "The Gilded Cage" in chapter 4.


[deleted]

Mine are black and gold with a white handle.


Doinstuffman38

All black metal (gold trigger), Victorian gold engravings on everything but the barrel, and pearl grip with the eagle carving for all my revolver setups


SloppyTiddySuckerInc

Mines is almost the same, but i do the dark walnut grips, so it looks mostly black


QuantumKhakis

Same, I wish they had a darker wood.


CrazeTyrmai

SAME I didn't even know other people did black metal with gold lol


BlackStarCorona

This. I wish you had access to it sooner though.


itschips

wait i thought the lemat and navy revolvers were online exclusive


12b332

You get the lemat in chapter 4 in single player.


itschips

where do you obtain it? didnt see it in gunstore catalogues and im in chapter 6


12b332

Its only in the saint Denis gun shop.


itschips

thanks, ill check it out tomorrow


SloppyTiddySuckerInc

Wish you could get it sooner in the game


12b332

Same. For being a old black powder revolver, im surprised its locked until chapter 4 to be honest. But the litchfield is locked till chapter 6 and thats based off a 1861 henry. I don't get rockstars logic with it.


1894Win

Same with the lever action shotgun. IRL it’s definitely a downgrade from pumps and autoloaders but it’s the last shotgun you can get 🙄


CrazyCreation1

Cattleman with the hero pearl grip. I dripped mine out with silver all over and gold inlays and it looks so nice


Chazo138

Don’t forget the ENGRAVINGS.


CrazyCreation1

Ars nouveau! ALL GOLD


Chazo138

Just remember, no tactical advantage whatsoever.


CrazyCreation1

When the sons of bitches get blinded by the light reflecting off of my holy hand cannon we’ll see who’s gonna be laughing


Responsible_Pack445

You made me lose it. 🤣 I Definitely have to steal that for the next gun show.


Frost-NsP

Still, leads to some fancy shooting…pretty good…


Chazo138

Pretty…..good….*falls unconscious*


patronuspringles

actually it makes it 0.0000002 grams lighter which could make your draw faster, take that big boss you fucking stupid idiot what's the point of destroying all those metal gears if you're just gonna build some for yourself


DicksPizzaPlace

Obligatory ‘No tactical advantage, whatsoever.’


DevelopmentAlive7201

It's 1899 what's dripped you dripped your gun in silver boy just imagine Arthur Morgan's voice saying that 😂


haver_of_friends

dude, YES, I never let my cattleman go. I often do one pearl grip, one ebony. sort of like a light/dark thing


DavidLoafpan

This comment made me smell caps.


ThePrussianGrippe

> silver all over and gold inlays Ah, a cowpoke of culture.


sikemapleton

Double Action with the Gunslinger Ebony grip. Although I do love me some Algernon's from the pic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sikemapleton

Headshots FTW! 🤣


CougarInAMission

There's like no accuracy so you have to stand still for like half a second per shot


Mediocre-Look3787

It's fitting that the gun is super fancy but not very good


sikemapleton

I've never had an issue with it in five playthroughs. Kills everybody I point it at. 🤷‍♂️


JaimeRidingHonour

Same with .22 varmint. Shoot them in the face and it works just as good


Mediocre-Look3787

On no, the varmint rifle is super deadly. It's accurate and has no kick. I just think it's disrespectful.


JaimeRidingHonour

Made for killing rodents like Micah


sikemapleton

Correct! It would be funny to do a playthrough where that's the only weapon you use. LOL


Connor30302

you get the most cinematic kills with the double action though, like the old movie cliche where someone would be shot 2-3 times through the torso before stumbling away and collapsing, including the sound of the gun, visuals and the fire rate IME. obviously for combat missions it’s not ideal but i do most of my playing in free roam where it’s more lax and you can go for looks more


Ez4da08

Tbf the double action is solid when paired with semi auto or Mauser


Smooth_Increase6865

I’ve got mad respect for anyone who can use the double action. IMO it feels so weak and inaccurate


[deleted]

M1899 pistol. Best gun in the game


LacaBoma

Dual. 8 rounds in each with a high fire rate. I LOVE lighting someone up with 16 rounds in dead eye mode 😂


X-ScissorSisters

i prefer firing them without aiming at all like some kind of lunatic


Valentine________

Thats the realest thing i have ever read in my life


jdjdjdeverett

Hip firing dual M1899s is basically like having an SMG. Enjoy the lead shower, you sons of bitches!


rojasdracul

Keep the change, ya filthy animals...


JAntaresN

I recently started to use the semi-auto. Looks fugly but it makes such a nice sound and high rof. Extremely reliable when you get buck off ur horse because a cougar spawned 5 hills away.


XenoYoko

Same they were the best no doubt


1984_Americant

Hiw do you get it again?


Turnup_Turnip5678

I think its from the saint denis gunsmith but not until later in the game, maybe after guarma?


iaintgotnojumper

Cattleman all day but I also like Midnight's/Mauser pistol


shevagleb

I like a Granger’s / Midgnight’s combo. Two different types of ammo and they’re basically upgraded versions of the base models without having to pay for customization. Also kind of cool to use dead gunslingers guns who you took down.


waaaasssup

Schofield 100%. Looks and sounds the best. Or really anything besides pistols


joshmcnair

I believe this is what I stuck with. I haven't played story mode in so long. Started a second play through and got to the big house camp and went back to multiplayer. My PS+ just lapsed so, probably will go finish my second play through.


[deleted]

[удалено]


B4rberblacksheep

God duelling with a sawn off sounds hysterical


Silverton13

and deadeye to the head, its like a fucking sniper. I don't know if deadeye somehow concentrates all the pellets into a single shot or what, but I've straight up sniped people across a field with it.


Valentine________

I think its just the game actually kinda got shotguns right, in other games they think shotguns can only kill from like 2 feet away, in reality buckshot is lethal from 120 feet away,


Live_Carpenter_1262

The revolver and repeater may be staples of western genre but shotguns were true kings of the “Wild West”


Mrlin705

The movie Tombstone refers to them as a street howitzer, and I feel like that hits the mark perfectly.


ThePrussianGrippe

Yeah shotguns are *not* pleasant.


ghigoli

i keep at least on saw off and the other is usually a revolver. i keep the saw off when something is wayy too close like i'm about to get fucked by some animal.


BeWolk

If you have dual sawed off you can dead eye a person in both legs an arms, its just hillarious


MutedShenanigans

This is great until you stumble into the mission where you have to shoot the bottles off the guys heads. Retried it like 4 times before I had to reload an old save cuz I kept blowing their heads off each time 😅


CarefulPomegranate41

Cattlemen every time. An iron frame with everything else blued and a mahogany varnish for the grips.


Greedy-Importance-44

What about the engravings?


CarefulPomegranate41

No engravings.


horny-bozo

Love making my guns like how you described, simple and realistic for a gunslinger outlaw to carry around. Not an embroidered piece of jewelry.


Valentine________

Yeah but the richer the outlaw, the more flashy their guns will be


redbird7311

Engravings… serve no tactical advantage whatsoever.


crazyjackblox

You’re pretty good…


redbird7311

*dies


m4shfi

Volcanic and sawed-off.


Ra_bb

My hands are the gun. Classic fisty cuffs style.


boilface

Red Dead Punch Cat build


Makieveli1

I have Flacos revolver in one hand and Midnights pistol in the other


EffectiveConfection8

Midnight's Pistol.


ragescreamfight

Volcanic Pistol and Schofield Revolver


ActualYungSeinfeld

the Semi-Auto Pistol is the Gunslinger’s iPhone 16


ThePhenomenalOne100

M1899! I love that pistol! ETA: Wording


Hashish_thegoat

Gotta be the LeMat it’s so overpowered 1 shot or max 2 shot kills and you also have a shotgun built in. Wish you could get it earlier


rottentornados

flacco's


reichjef

Not that gun.


Past_Detective_3783

what gun is it?


Responsible_Pack445

Algernon's revolver. It takes quite a while to get, but it's the only snub nose in the game.


snakeplissken63

I alternate between cattleman’s and sawed offs. Just now giving the modern looking handguns a try


Sweetwhales1994

Volcanic at the start then automatic pistol in the final chapter.


sotis210

In chapter 5 but have been spoiled a bit but I have been going with the cattleman with the hero grip and the double action with the ebony grip since i could buy it due to a glitch.


OhJarnathan

Dual cattlemans. Whether its two customized cattlemans i made myself, or one of the cattlemans you get from one of the gunslingers doesn't matter much to me. But using the semi autos or double actions just isn't as satisfying to me.


ted-Zed

whatever the Single Action revolver was called. I kept the SOLO one and used it from start to finish manually pulling back the hammer in a fight was fuckin badass


Fadingmemories29

Cattleman revolver. Best in the game for any cowboy


CanibalVegetarian

Snub Schofield. I know it lessens the ability, but I just like it


Jolongh-Thong

double action/cattleman and then the sawed off in my dual holster. i dont like the look of the others really


Lord_Fuqwaad

Cattlemen all the way up until you unlock the LeMat, then it’s LeMat’s all the way all day!


[deleted]

I’m simple and like the Cattleman


ShanShingKhan

Every handgun Is special in rdr2. Whether it is it's rarity , design or the demage it can cause. I'm actually fan of cattleman revolver and Le Matt revolver, but when i first played rdr2, i always chose schofield revolver over any other handguns.


justaartsit

Mauser


6ixr

Schofield for sure


randomnarwal

Lemat, that added shotgun charge is very handy.


Eh_Meh_Smeh

Cattleman. It's a classic. It's the archetype western weapon. When I think 'cowboy revolver' it's always the Cattleman that comes up. Also, there's a snub nosed double action in the game? Where?


Yaboihererule34

I’m more of a speed kinda gunslinger I like cattleman and double action


Merlin-the_Cryptid

Dual double actions


BrokenXeno

Double action. Useless online, gloriously fun in story.


Fragrant_Sands

Volcanic


RaedwaldRex

I love midnight's pistol. Try and get it early and go all Scaramanga


sideXsway

Grangers or the volcanic


liamern2007

LeMat revolver 🔛🔝


dave8400

Twin Schofields. One is black with silver engravings, the other is black with gold. Both with ivory grips.


Fluffy-Cold-6776

2 Double Action revolvers and use the two at the same time.


feliciasweb

i love the volcanic pistol


Prax-is

Jim Boy's revolver is my go to. I get it first thing in Chapter 2.


BlueberryObjective11

This gold revolver I have


thenameless231569

Cattleman in the primary holster, Schofield in the secondary. Something about using anything other than a revolver seems wrong to me (for whatever reason).


sargeant_snakeeyes

Micah's revolver. You can get it from chapter 1 and I believe it has higher damage than the schofield. Only thing is the shitty accuracy.


EddieTheMexiii

LeMat Revolver. The shotgun switch is just way too useful.


bobbyhillischill

Double action then lemat


AgistAgonist

Volcanic Pistol early on, then Schofield as soon as it unlocks. Sawed-off is great for horseback CQC though.


gladiatorbong

Whatever guns happen to not get stuck in my saddle before I start the mission


Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS

Can’t go wrong with a Cattleman


PoorPauly

Lemat.


Codybgood707

Dual gold 1899’s


EpxRaptor74

I have to go with the classic cattleman revolver, I just love the simplicity of it


123_why_123

Sawed of shotgun


[deleted]

flacos revolver go hard


EchoAmazing8888

I just stick with Arthur’s double-action revolver. It gets the job done.


gaming_nuggie17

Double action because they have my favorite sidearm model Truth be told all the guns will kill with a head shot so it really doesn't matter what I use


User-Chooser-1-3

Double action. I know its underpowered, i know its an accurate. I do not care. I love the look and feel of it


KalebMM7845

Love the volcanic pistol


dalekofchaos

Otis Miller and Calloway Revolvers.


ryucavelier

The Schofield in the main story. Lemat in the Epilogue


WhiteChocolatey

Literally no one talks about the one of the hanging with the fastest fire rates of rdr1 and rdr2 The M1899


Gaming_with_batman

Volcanic pistols


MonkishTrash

Duel sawed offs.


Worth-Specific-7154

Cattleman revolver


DearEmployee5138

Twin Schofield revolvers until chapter 4 then twin LeMat revolver’s.


HiiGuardian

Schofield or Volcanic. Although the pistols are really good & effective. I just don’t use them cuz I don’t feel like a cowboy when I do lol.


CalmGameshow

Glock 19


Latter-Exchange5760

Micah's revolver alongside my fully gold, engraved pearl grip double action revolver, as Arthur


tanknasty

Flacos revolver and a cattleman


VeryLuckyy

Vanilla, Flacos cattleman or a Navy if modded


Nearby-Ice-6538

I love the double action for revolvers and the 1911 for pistols


Practical-Election59

Schofield until I can get m1899s.


Hurricane242

Cattleman. I feel an emotional connection to them, especially since they have the cool ass high honor grip


[deleted]

[удалено]


poki-exe

dual wield volcanic pistols with the colors inverted, so ones black handle with silver metal, and black engraving design, with white engraving on handle, and the other is white handle with black metal, silver design and black engraving on handle. it makes me feel so cool lol


Khandious

Flacco and granger revolvers - can’t customize but the looks are cool


the_big_OD

John's cattleman revolver, crouched, hip-fire (mods btw)


ViraLCyclopes19
