About this weapon

The Lancaster Repeater is a lever-action rifle in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. Its fast lever system chambers the next cartridge quickly, and it holds fourteen rounds of Repeater Ammo. Regular, High Velocity, Split Point, Express and Explosive repeater ammunition can be loaded into it. Its listed price is $135, and it can carry up to 400 rounds of ammunition.

Among repeating rifles, the Lancaster has the lowest damage. It compensates with high accuracy and a rapid rate of fire, making it a flexible weapon for sustained shooting. Its reload is slower than the Carbine, despite the quick cycling action between shots. The game uses it as a repeater for firing the available repeater ammunition types in quick succession.

Micah Bell gives the Lancaster Repeater to Arthur during "An American Pastoral Scene". After that mission, it is sold by gunsmiths if Arthur loses it. Another Lancaster can be taken from a weapon case in the Rhodes gunsmith's basement after the kidnapping victim is seen through the basement window on the right side of the store and the basement is robbed. In Red Dead Online, it is available from gunsmiths or through the Handheld Catalog, with catalog orders collected from a horse, Post Office or Camp.

Trivia

◆The rifle is based on the Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" carbine.
◆Though the Model 1866 might seem to be an odd choice in 1899, the rifle was extremely popular and produced in high volume from its introduction until 1898.
◆Customizing the gun at the gunsmith in-game to give it an iron frame makes the rifle look like a Winchester Model 1873.
◆In 1899, John Marston can be seen with a unique version that is iron-plated and has a Rosewood varnish. It is often strapped over his left shoulder, and he can be seen using it in combat at various times. However, the weapon is omitted from his inventory when he is playable, except during the mission "Jim Milton Rides, Again?". The customization appears to be a nod to the Winchester Repeater from Red Dead Redemption, where John was the protagonist.
◆In some cases, the player may be able to get two Lancaster Repeaters in their inventory. If they acquire the weapon prior to the mission "An American Pastoral Scene", the player can end up with two Lancaster Repeaters stored on their horse as a result of a glitch.
◆This glitch can be exploited by the player to have both Arthur's and John's individual Lancasters in the Epilogue by simply customizing one of the two Lancasters to look like John's.
