The Red Dead Redemption 2 releasing this month seems to focus on the various weapons. According to the latest information, there are supposed to be over 50 weapons this time.
It won’t be long until players can venture into the Wild West of Rockstar in Red Dead Redemption 2 again. The developers apparently place a great emphasis on the various weapons, of which there are rumored to be over 50 in the game. Players are also expected to interact significantly with their firearms.
More Weapons, Special Interactions
How many weapons will there be? According to information from RockstarINTEL, there are supposed to be over 50 different weapons in Red Dead Redemption 2. It is unclear whether this only refers to the guns in singleplayer mode or if this also applies to the multiplayer part.
While the singleplayer of RDR2 releases on October 26, multiplayer fans will have to wait until November. The mode will then be activated as a beta.
How many weapons were there in the predecessors? RDR2 will offer more firearms with over 50 weapons than its predecessors. Red Dead Revolver from 2004 offered a total of 28 different weapons. Red Dead Redemption from 2010 then had 36 weapons, albeit with just one DLC.
What interactions are possible with the weapons? Players are expected to be able to interact with the weapons in Red Dead Redemption 2. For instance, special shooting techniques like “revolver fanning” that is often seen in western films will be possible. This technique involves holding the trigger while repeatedly striking the hammer with the other hand.
Additionally, players should also be able to spin the cylinder of a revolver or toss their weapon around.
What else should be considered with the weapons? Rockstar wants players to engage with their weapons like with their horses. Only the weapons that players carry can be used, and larger firearms will be stored on the horse.
Furthermore, players must pay attention to their weapons. External influences such as water or mud have a direct effect on the guns and can influence their effectiveness in combat.
