How To Get Rid Of Worn Weapons Rdr2

Alright, settle in folks, grab your coffee (or moonshine, I'm not judging), because we're about to tackle a problem that's plagued every Red Dead Redemption 2 player since day one: what in tarnation do you do with those rusty, busted-up weapons that are cluttering your inventory like a raccoon's hoard of shiny bottle caps?

Seriously, you're riding through the wilderness, feeling like Clint Eastwood on horseback, then BAM! You switch to your favorite revolver only to find it's about as effective as a wet noodle against a grizzly bear. That ain't a good look, partner.

So, let's get this sorted, shall we? Because nobody wants to be caught dead (or rather, more dead than they already are in this game) with a weapon that looks like it spent a week at the bottom of a swamp.

Option 1: The "Yeet It Into The Woods" Method

Okay, technically, you can't officially just chuck your unwanted weapons into the nearest ravine. Rockstar, bless their coding hearts, didn't implement a "Weapon Toss" button. Imagine the chaos! Arthur Morgan just littering the countryside with Schofield Revolvers. It would be beautiful, but also deeply irresponsible.

However, there's a sort of way to achieve the same result. If a weapon is in such terrible condition that you can't even clean it (we're talking "practically fossilized" here), and you pick up a better version of the same gun, Arthur will automatically replace it. The old one? Vanished into the ether! Consider it donated to the local ecosystem... where it will undoubtedly rust for another century.

It's not the most satisfying solution, I'll admit. You don't get the dramatic thunk as it hits the ground, but hey, out of sight, out of mind, right?

Option 2: The "Pawn It Off on Some Poor Sap" Strategy

This is where things get interesting. You can't technically sell individual guns back to gunsmiths. I know, I know, it's a glaring oversight. Why can't I offload my "slightly used" cattleman revolver to that poor guy in Valentine for a few measly dollars? The world may never know.

But! There's a workaround. If you happen to find a duplicate of a weapon you already own (maybe you looted it from a corpse, maybe you... liberated it from a lawman), you can swap out your less-than-stellar version for the fresher one. This leaves your old, beat-up gun conveniently on the ground. From there, simply walk away.

Technically, you haven't sold it. You've just... misplaced it. In front of a gunsmith's. Who will probably pick it up and repair it. And then sell it. To some other poor sap. It's the circle of life, Red Dead style!

Option 3: The "Ultimate Weapon Cleaning Ritual"

Now, let's talk about prevention. The best way to avoid having a collection of unusable firearms is to take good care of the ones you have. And by "good care," I mean obsessively cleaning them.

Seriously, treat your guns like they're made of gold (because, let's face it, some of them practically are). After every major gunfight, after every time you're caught in a downpour, break out the gun oil and get to work. Think of it as a form of meditation. A slightly violent, gun-centric form of meditation, but meditation nonetheless.

You can purchase gun oil from any gunsmith or general store. Keep a healthy stock of it on your person. Your horse probably appreciates the smell too, adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the overall equestrian experience.

Remember, a clean gun is a happy gun. And a happy gun is a gun that won't jam at the most inopportune moment, like when you're facing down a pack of wolves or trying to impress that saloon girl with your sharpshooting skills. No one's impressed by a misfire, trust me.

A Few Final (Possibly Useless) Tips

• Don't try to feed your worn weapons to your horse. I mean, you can try, but I guarantee you'll be disappointed (and possibly kicked).
• Do experiment with different weapon combinations. You might discover a new favorite that you never knew you had!
• Don't forget to upgrade your gun belt and holster! A good holster will slow weapon degradation over time. Think of it as a tiny spa day for your six-shooter.

So there you have it, folks! Everything you need to know about dealing with those pesky worn weapons in Red Dead Redemption 2. Now go forth, clean your guns, and maybe consider investing in a good poncho. After all, a little rain never hurt anyone… except maybe your firearms.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Cattleman Revolver to... strategically misplace.
