Ain't ya never seen a man in a barrel before?

Cooper, when selected in Showdown Mode


Cooper is a minor character in Red Dead Revolver.

Cooper can be unlocked as a playable character in Showdown Mode by completing the mission "Rogue Valley" with a Good rating. He can also be unlocked by purchasing the Large Barrel, however it is not available until the mission "Fort Diego" by which point the player may have already unlocked Cooper via "Rogue Valley." His special ability is to lift a barrel overhead and throw it towards opponents, knocking them off the ground.

Background[]

Not much is known about Cooper's background, other than that he is an outlaw and that he is rumored to have been the only survivor of a gunfight with the Cornet Brothers. He survived by taking cover in a wooden barrel. Ever since then, he has worn the barrel suspended by two shoulder straps around his body as protection and a barrel's lid as a hat. He has advised other criminals to do the same. Sometime before the events of the game, he started working for Bad Bessie at Rogue Valley, but left her gang once Red Harlow started chasing her down.

Interactions[]

Cooper is not encountered in story mode. However, there are voice files of him found on Sounds-Resources.com which proves that he was originally supposed to be the mini-boss during the mission "Rogue Valley", defending Bad Bessie.

Sheriff Bartlett's Journal[]

Cooper is listed in Sheriff Bartlett's Journal on pages 112 - 113 under the Outlaws in Twelve States section. The pages are unlocked by unlocking his showdown character by either of the methods noted above.

Trivia[]

  • "Cooper" is a term used for someone on board a ship who repairs wooden barrels.
  • If he is shot in the back, a piece of his barrel will break away, exposing his back. Likewise, if he is shot with a shotgun in the torso, his chest will be revealed once the barrel breaks.
  • He shares the same Showdown Mode quotes as Sam, however he is voiced by Christian Tanno, who also voices Bloody Tom.
  • Him and Rico Pedrosa are the only Showdown mode characters not be encountered in story mode. However, both of them did appear in beta versions.
  • Since he uses a barrel as a shield, it is hard to harm him by shooting him in the body in the Showdown mode, so it is better to always just aim at his head, as it is unprotected.
  • He is the only male character in the game to wear a pink outfit.
  • When he dies, his barrel lid falls off his head, exposing a small pompadour-like hair.
