About this weapon
The Carbine Repeater is a repeating rifle in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. Also called the Buck Carbine, it holds seven rounds in its stock-mounted tube magazine and uses Repeater Ammo. It accepts Regular, High Velocity, Split Point, Express and Explosive varieties. Its iron sights suit close and medium-range shooting, while a scope can be fitted for marksman use. The rifle is used for hunting and for fights at medium distance.
Arthur Morgan receives the Carbine Repeater free during "Old Friends" in the opening tutorial missions. After that mission, every gunsmith sells it for $90, and it can also be taken from slain people encountered in the world. In Red Dead Online, the protagonist is given one at the start of the game. It can also be ordered through the Handheld Catalog and collected from a horse, a Post Office or Camp.
The Carbine Repeater is built as a balanced repeater rather than a specialist weapon. It has medium damage, a solid firing rate and better accuracy than a standard pistol. Among repeaters, its damage is second only to the Litchfield Repeater, but its seven-round capacity is lower than the Lancaster Repeater and Litchfield Repeater. The tube magazine reloads all seven rounds at once, giving it one of the fastest reloads in the game.
Trivia
- โThe Buck Carbine Repeater is based on the Spencer Model 1860 Carbine.
- โThis is the most common longarm to be used by various NPCs. In real life, however, it was considered fairly obsolete compared to newer models by the time of Red Dead Redemption 2.
- โIt also appears to be the standard longarm for the Van der Linde gang along with the Lancaster Repeater, with those on camp guard duty always using those weapons. Sadie Adler has a custom version in blackened steel with a yellowish wrap around the stock. Sheriff Thomas can be seen using the same repeater in "A Quick Favor for an Old Friend". Uncle can also be seen holding the repeater at the end of "The Tool Box".
- โGiven that the weapon is given to the player from the start, it is impossible to โViewโ the weapon from Gunsmith catalogue and hear their dialogues.
- โIn Red Dead Online, Bonnie MacFarlane can be seen holding this weapon as she is sitting down and wiping it with Gun Oil.
- โIt is possible to hear Gunsmith's unique dialogue for the Carbine Repeater during the mission "The Wheel" if you choose to go to any gunsmith before delivering the goods to Pronghorn Ranch.
