There are two exclusive Red Dead Redemption 2 weapons you can unlock in Grand Theft Auto: Online — the online, highly profitable multiplayer portion of Grand Theft Auto 5. I’m insanely hyped for RDR 2, and if you’re like me, you might just want to unlock everything possible in that game. The two weapons are; the Stone Hatchet, and the Double-Action Revolver. They’re both kind of secret, and you have to take extra steps to unlock them in RDR 2. Let’s break down everything you need to know in the guide below.
The Stone Hatchet is a melee weapon that can enable a special powered-up state called Rampage. While rampaging, you’ll take less damage and heal faster. Sounds pretty sweet — the Double-Action Revolver is exactly what it sounds like — an olde timey revolver. The “Double-Action” means that the revolver’s trigger both cocks and releases the hammer. Basically, it’s better than your standard wild west revolver because you only need to pull the trigger to shoot. That’s your daily dose of boring gun history.

[NOTE: By unlocking these weapons in GTA:O, you’ll also unlock them in RDR 2.]
Both the Stone Hatchet and Double-Action Revolver can be unlocked in RDR 2. The Stone Hatchet comes with the “Rampage” ability. There’s a shoot countdown between ability activations. Ramage makes you tougher, and heal faster.
