Dynamite





Dynamite is a weapon and a projectile that appears in Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption. It is a versatile tool in the late period of the American west, and a powerful weapon in Red Dead Redemption. Used in demolition and mining, dynamite has also found use among outlaws to create improvised explosive weapons and cause carnage and chaos among enemies.

Marston can use dynamite as a weapon against groups of foes, to ambush stagecoaches and armed convoys and to assault enemy positions.



Combat
Dynamite is used as a thrown weapon in Red Dead Redemption. Due to its powerful explosion, it is best to throw from a certain distance or from behind cover to ensure you are not injured or killed from the blast. It will take 5 seconds to explode once the fuse has been lit. This can be used to time your throw to make it explode at different distances, or to do a suicide run near an enemy. The fuse will be reset once you stop aiming.

It is unlocked in Redemption Multiplayer at level 15.

When you suicide with Dynamite, it says "Player met a Nobel end". This is a reference to the inventor of Dynamite, Alfred Nobel.
