The Gatling Gun is a weapon featured in Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption.
Description
The Gatling Gun is one of the best known early rapid-fire weapons and a forerunner of the modern machine gun. It is one of two such weapons in Red Dead Redemption, the other being the Maxim Gun.
Red Dead Revolver
A Gatling gun features in several missions, the first being Carnival Life.
Red Dead Redemption
In Red Dead Redemption the Gatling gun has unlimited ammunition. It is first used in the mission "The Assault on Fort Mercer", mounted in the back of Nigel West Dickens' stagecoach. Gatling guns also appear in several other missions thereafter including:
- "Mexican Caesar"
- "The Great Mexican Train Robbery"
- "The Gates of El Presidio"
- "An Appointed Time"
- "And The Truth Will Set You Free"
At least one Gatling gun can always be found mounted inside El Presidio. This gun is commonly used by both the Mexican Army and the American Army because it was often considered a Government-issued weapon.
Undead Nightmare
A Gatling gun can still be found in El Presidio and doctors often use them for protection out in the wilderness. A new Gatling gun has been mounted on one of the buildings in Rathskeller Fork. When confronted by an undead horde, John Marston can apply Phosphorus Coating to the gun's ammo supply to make it an even more potent weapon. In Undead Nightmare, the unlimited ammunition of the Gatling Gun is beneficial due to the relative scarcity of other types of ammunition.
Multiplayer
In Multiplayer Free Roam, only three Gatling Guns can be found, two at El Presidio and one at Fort Mercer. Various Free For All and Gang maps as well as Stronghold have Gatling guns available to players. Some co-op missions also include Gatling guns.
The Heavy Weapons Challenges allow the player to collect XP and Titles for obtaining kills with the Gatling gun.
Trivia
- For information on the real world Gatling gun that the in-game weapon is modeled after, please see the Wikipedia Gatling gun article.

- The Gatling Gun stopped being used in 1911, the same year in wich the main storyline takes place.
- There is a very rare glitch in which you use the Gatling Gun immediately after the Bolt-Action Rifle, and the Gatling will only fire one bullet every time the firing handle is turned.
