For the Red Dead Redemption variant, see Sawed-off Shotgun.


The Sawed-off Shotgun is a weapon featured in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.

Description[]

The Peeters & Janssens Sawed-Off is a versatile shotgun that can be used easily with one hand or dual wielded to great effect. Rough and deadly, but widely inaccurate, this weapon is ideal for close quarter combat on foot or on horseback. This gun has an ammo capacity of two rounds and can use Regular Buckshot, Incendiary Buckshot, Slug and Explosive Slug shotgun ammo.[1]

Dual-wielding it with another sawed-off shotgun is highly effective, allowing the quick and brutal elimination of anything that stands in your way, man or beast.

Acquisition[]

In Redemption 2, it is provided by Javier Escuella during the mission "Enter, Pursued by a Memory". A second one can be bought from any Gunsmith, for the price of $85.

Alternatively, a second shotgun can be acquired from the bartender at Keane's Saloon in Valentine. There is a bottle of gin on one of the tables, and if the player picks it up, the bartender will attack the player, meaning that the player can obtain the weapon from him after defeating him.

In Online, this shotgun is available for purchase at all gunsmiths after reaching rank 19. A unique skin is also available for online players in the Moonshiner role.

Letter from a customer[]

"My poor old mama and papa are afflicted by rheumatism, and while I was away a year at school happened to come across a medicine man by the name of Nigel Dickens. They received an earful about all manner of wonderful cures that his bottles of dopes would cure and accomplish. Every penny they had in that house went to his nostrums. I suspect laudanum or opium was the base of that tincture, for they were suddenly rabid in possessing more of the cure. I returned home in the autumn to find them taking more and more doses of that vile concoction, mama pounding the hymnal with her crooked hands and singing to the ceiling Psalms of one kind or the other. When that foul medicine man came around the next week with crates of the stuff and a big smile on his face, I revealed your sawed off wonder from underneath my knitting and boy did he holler out like a chicken stuffed in a flour bag headed for the butcher's block, and that's right where I was about to take him. Thanks to you and your families for your hard work making such fine instruments that outdo in strength and quality of shooting any other gun I have ever used."

Yours, T. Bernadette Moncrief, Annesburg.

Trivia[]

  • This is notably the weapon of choice for Charles Smith. He has a custom model, featuring a white varnish and a black, steel barrel. Additionally, Charles is the only member of the gang to wield a shotgun as their primary weapon in place of a revolver.
  • Unlike other shotguns, this one occupies a holster/handgun slot, in contrast with the previous game's version.
  • John Marston uses this shotgun in a reference to the Red Dead Redemption cover image in the mission "Jim Milton Rides, Again?".
