- For the Red Dead Redemption variant, see Volcanic Pistol.
The Volcanic Pistol is a weapon featured in Red Dead Redemption 2 and in Red Dead Online.
Description
The Hutton & Baird Volcanic Pistol combines the stopping power of a repeating rifle with the portability of a sidearm. Although the accuracy is good, the slow firing rate and reload speed mean that you'd better hit your target with the first shot. This gun has an ammo capacity of eight rounds, and can use Regular, High Velocity, Split Point, Express and Explosive pistol ammo.
Acquisition
This pistol is available from all gunsmiths after completing the mission "Eastward Bound". Alternatively, it is free for players who purchased the Special or Ultimate editions of Red Dead Redemption 2.
In Red Dead Online, the pistol becomes available for purchase after reaching Rank 21.
