Weapons

Published by Psy
Last Updated

There are 31 weapons to acquire in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare. Read all about their stats and how you can unlock them.

In Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, you'll permanently acquire a weapon once you've picked it up. Sometimes this will be by collecting the weapon as a pickup from the ground, however more often than not it will be given as a reward after completing specific tasks like Survivor side-missions or saving a town.

A few of the weapons are quite rare and you won't have a lot of chances to acquire them, however the majority will be earned throughout the story and side missions.

There's no 100% completion objective tied to owning any of the weapons, however you will need to own a number of them in order to complete some of the Undead Challenges - for example you'll need the Rolling Block Rifle to complete Rank 5 of the Undead Sharpshooter challenge.
