Rolling Block Rifle

Rolling Block Rifle The  is a very accurate and powerful sharpshooting rifle appearing in Red Dead Redemption, able to take down targets at longer ranges with more ease due to the scope. Although the one-shot ammo capacity plus the engaging of the scope each time one aims with it limits the weapon's use in close quarters combat to even picking off multiple enemies in a quick long range session in this case. Even though it is a powerful weapon, it is inferior to the Carcano Rifle because the Carcano has a higher magazine capacity of 5, a faster reload speed and a faster rate of fire.

It is based on on the Model 1867 Remington Rolling Block. It is the first and only mission-obtained scoped rifle and also uses Sniper Rifle Ammo.



Singleplayer

 * Alternatively, the Rolling Block can also be obtained from the mission "Must a Saviour Die?", given by Luisa Fortuna. It is located at the top of the fort, directly ahead of where the player climbs over the wall.

Multiplayer

 * is unlocked upon reaching rank 20.

Multiplayer Tips/Tricks
The Rolling block rifle in multiplayer is easy to use, but hard to master, due to it's very low ROF and ammo capacity. It is a one-shot-kill in the head, but due to aforementioned characteristics, this can be quite difficult. Since the weapon has a VERY high effective range, you will only have to take cover if the other player has a similar rifle, since other weapons do not have such high range. With this weapon, it is very easy to take down enemies behind low cover, or taking out enemies that are taking cover if you are in an elevated position. But always remember that you will want to maximize the distance between you and your target.
