Evans Repeater

The Evans Repeater is a unique type of repeater rifle featured in Red Dead Redemption, employing an unconventional mechanism to eject and replace a fired cartridge. It does considerably high damage and has the highest ammo capacity of any weapon that you can carry in the game at 22 rounds, which also means it gets a "faster" reload with reloading with 2 rounds at a time, however this seems to only happen when the magazine is either empty, or if it's nearly empty.

The Evans Repeater uses Repeater Ammo.

Single Player

 * In the singleplayer, the Evans Repeater can be purchased at the Gunsmith in Blackwater for $1000, or $500 if player has reached maximum honor.

Multiplayer

 * In Multiplayer Free Roam, the Evans Repeater is located in Pike's Basin, in a crate inside a tent, but it can also be picked up from some NPCs. It is unlocked upon reaching rank 43.
 * The Mexican Army carries a lot of these.

Tactics

 * The Evans Repeater has the largest magazine size of any gun in the game, making it ideal for use with Dead-Eye Targeting to maximize the amount of kills in a single sequence.


 * Although the Evans has relatively high damage and accuracy compared to pistols and other repeaters, you'll find it requires multiple torso shots to kill enemies where the Springfield Rifle or Bolt-Action Rifle often kill with a single shot.However in many cases in singleplayer (more often than not) it can appear to be more powerful than the Henry Repeater despite the stats saying that the gun has more power,but this is thought to be because of the range from which you are firing the shot rather than the power.
 * It is best not to try to reload this weapon in the middle of a firefight while it is empty since the weapon's enormous ammo capacity means it will require a considerable amount of time to finish loading the gun. So it is best to "top off" the magazine whenever you can.
