Red Dead Online has a lot of the same weapons that are found in Red Dead Redemption 2, but the method of getting these weapons is quite different. Instead of earning weapons through story missions, in Red Dead Online you unlock new weapons as you progress in rank and then you have to purchase them in game with either gold currency or the dollar currency you earn while playing.
All guns are unlocked in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online by ranking up
You’ll start unlocking new weapons at Rank 5 and will unlock new weapons periodically across the course of 100 levels that are available. Below you’ll find a list of different gun unlocks for Red Dead Online and the requirements that need to be met to get them.
