The double-action revolver was unlocked in GTA 5 for Red Dead Redemption 2. But now it cannot be collected. What’s the reason?
With a treasure hunt, a great adventure started in GTA Online. Long before the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5 players were supposed to go on a scavenger hunt that ended with a golden revolver.
The special thing about the revolver: Players could then use the revolver in GTA Online. Additionally, Rockstar promised that the weapon would also be available in Red Dead Redemption 2 and that the treasure hunt would unlock it.
However, many players cannot collect the Colt. A bug is interfering.
