Here are the best weapons for “Call to Arms” in RDO.
If you’re an outlaw in the Wild West, you already know how necessary guns are in the game. No cowboy is complete without a quality gun loaded with power. Choosing the best one is a matter of life and death. It doesn't matter if players are hunting, playing PvP, or taking down NPCs because, at the end of the day, a player with an inferior weapon is bound to get the shorter end of the stick more often than not.
10. Sawed-Off Shotgun
Price: $111
Unlock level: 19
A lightweight shotgun that is easy to use and conceal, as many situations in modern times require. The safety and durability and, above all, superior penetration of this fine shotgun cannot be matched. This one’s a freaking sidearm and you can dual-wield, too. FOR THE MAN THAT ENJOYS WIELDING AN HONEST SURPRISE.

It can be purchased from all gunsmiths or via the Handheld Catalog.
9. The Mauser Pistol
Price: $600
Unlock level: 34
The Mauser Pistol is based on the German-made Mauser C96 and unlocks at Rank 34. If an outlaw decides to buy this stylish semi-auto sidearm, it comes with a hefty price tag. There are indeed better semi-auto options available. Yet, the Mauser is still a reliable and fast sidearm that is made even more effective by dual-wielding.
The Mauser also pairs well with other weapon combinations like the Sawed-Off Shotgun. This gives players a well-rounded, powerful combo for their sidearm selection, even if it is one of the most expensive in Red Dead Online. In PvP, you can use Mausers because of their high fire rate.

8. Carbine Repeater
Price: $90
Unlocked from the start
Just because players start off with this gun in Red Dead Online doesn't indicate in the slightest that this beast should be underestimated. After all, if a cowboy invests time and money into the Carbine Repeater, it can save them a lot of money in the long run.
When paired with Express Ammo or Split Point Ammo, a single headshot can take down even the toughest of players with ease. The fact that so many things in the game can be accomplished with the starter weapon is an indication of just how player-friendly RDO really is.

7. Evans Repeater
Price: $300
Unlock level: 1
The Evans Repeater has the highest ammo capacity in Red Dead Online. It can hold 26 rounds at a time. It is also extremely accurate. A minor downside of this weapon is its low damage and reload speed, especially when compared to other weapons in the same category like the popular Lancaster Repeater.
However, the extended ammo capacity kind of nulls this downside. It is extremely useful in PvE but it’s also good for PvP. It might almost seem like you’re never even reloading this bad boy. This is why Evans made our top 3 list beating the Litchfield.

6. Carcano Rifle
Price: $456
Unlock level: 50
RIFLE OF CHOICE FOR BOTH HOLY AND UNHOLY AMBITION. It has been said that discretion is the better part of valor, and no more valor is exhibited than that of a man hiding behind a rock and taking out his enemies when they least suspect it. You can find no better rifle than the Carcano Rifle.

5. Rare Shotgun
Price: $258
Unlocked from the start
Handcrafted, elegantly designed, and unique in every way, it will soon become your most cherished possession after the Good Book and faithful dog. Surely those on the business end of it will blush and stammer at the honor of being threatened with such a masterpiece of artistry.

4. The Semi-Automatic Pistol
Price: $537
Unlock level: 22
The Semi-Automatic Pistol has a blazing fast fire rate perfect for pumping your enemies full of lead. However, you can only hold 100 rounds of pistol ammo. The limited ammo sucks but the Semis are good with every ammo type; even regular. With these, you’ll also hip fire faster.
What the Semi-Automatic Pistol is missing in Damage, it makes up for with speed. It is modeled after the Borchardt C-93 Pistol. The Semi-Automatic pistol has the highest fire rate and reload speed in the game.

3. Navy revolver
Price: $275
Unlock level: 1
Well, The community announces this beast as the top revolver in RDO. So, how can we not put this in the number one position? It earns about 58% of votes on average. It’s the deadliest revolver in the game as it deals the most amount of damage. It has a relatively slow reload speed but it matters less when you can kill a guy with 3 shots even if you aim blindly. Even though it’s the most accurate revolver in the game, it costs less than the LeMat. This one will always give you an edge in PvP.

Unlock Level: 7
Look downrange through the sights. Feel the gunstock. Friend, there is no better Bolt Action Rifle in any store or outfitter available than the B.D & Co. Rest assured that it will not hesitate to fill the recipient full of equal amounts of lead and dread.

1. Lancaster Repeater
Price: $135
Unlock Level: 12
Without a doubt, Litchfield is the best on paper but the Lancaster is the real answer. It deals high damage, snaps on target really quickly, and you can cycle this beast so fast you might just think that it’s semi-auto. The Lancaster Repeater is considered by most veteran players as one of the most versatile guns in the Wild West. With this repeater, you can hunt anything from Timber Wolves to wild ducks just by simply changing ammo.
The Lancaster Repeater’s ammo capacity and reload speed make this weapon perfect for taking on a multitude of enemies at once. Express Ammo is ideal to pair with the Lancaster Repeater, which can turn this weapon into a force to be reckoned with in battle and one of the best weapons to carry around in the Wild West.
