Red Dead Redemption 2: No, Your Guns Are Not Lost

During you time with Red Dead Redemption 2, you may occasionally notice that weapons that you had equipped previously may not show up in protagonist Arthur’s inventory. This may happen after you have died, or after you jump back into the game after turning it off for a while.

I lost my scofield revolver after I died, had it customised nice too, and no, it wasn't on my horse either.

[Kabaneri]

I lost a legendary bear skin just for leaving it on the floor and walking too far away from the base camp.

[milohighclub]

It isn't lost. Go to the place where they craft from legendary items, it will still be there.

[DaMist]

I seemed to have lost my legendary bear skin as well. Packed it on top of the horse, headed to town, placed the game on cinematic mode while I step into the kitchen and when he arrived to town, bear skin was gone.

[milohighclub]

DaMist. If you go to saint denis there's a dude that still allows you to craft using it.
It's the icon next to the fencer, in a little market type area, his stores covered in animal pelts.

[DaMist]

Thanks! @milohighclub I'll check it out once I get there.

[milohighclub]

@DaMist no worries man, i was in the same boat!

[CitizenFour]

can confirm with DaMist. If you lose it, the trapper still credits you for the pelt, allowing you to craft the items that require it. You just miss out on the $60 or whatever you would normally get for selling it to him.

Worse when you get off your horse and realise you've lost your weapons only to remember the game has an awful system where you need to keep managing your loadouts on your horse.

Sometimes being too realistic is bad in terms of overall fun

You're complaining about minor systems in this game all over n4g just dont play the game homie. Yes its a lot at first but once you grasp the systems you realize how much control you have over the smallest details. Take different loadouts for different activities, leave my guns on the horse when i go swimming so they stay dry. AC odyssey is a great game if you want something more streamlined and arcadey, this game is not really for everyone

[Gh05t]

Saying how much control you have while the complaint is that the game takes the control of your items from you automatically is a contradictory statement.

[moomoo319]

@Gh05t
I understand if getting off the horse and not having all your weapons frustrates you, but i enjoy having to think about my loadout and storing certain things on the horse. My guess is that rockstar knows how cumbersome the systems are at first, but for a game that will be played for years all of this detail will give it legs, despite being hard at first. we'll see

[No Way]

Why do some of you consistent N4Gers always post the same comment on every article?

If it's that big of deal, sell it and pick up something else. A lot of games force you to pick a load out before a mission..

[BadElf]

I love that system! I like Arthur doesn't have EVERY weapon on his person

[Nu]

Good elf. This game is outstanding. Hopefully Nintendo takes notes of this game and puts them in the next Zelda

[Gh05t]

I don't think people are complaining that you don't carry every weapon on you at all times. The issue I and many other people have is let's say I'm walking around with my pistol and rifle. I jump on my horse, ride a little bit, see something interesting, and jump off to shoot it. Only to find that while I was riding the game took the opportunity to place my rifle back on my horse. I didn't tell it to change load out. It does it automatically and it is extremely frustrating.

“Sometimes being too realistic is bad in terms of overall fun”

It may not be fun for you but you can’t speak for other people. I for once find this game fresh and fun which is different from the hundreds of open world games out there.

[chiefJohn117]

I thought I lost a gold revolver I got for killing a famous outlaw but then I realized when in the inventory you switch within weapon classes.

The one thing they should've left unreal is the weapon wheel/loadout system.

[Smokehouse]

I searched all over the Internet with no luck trying to find out where my weapons went. Before I just said screw it and went on with no weapons. I was pissed until I realized I had to do the beginning horse mission to get them back. They do a poor job explaining the systems, it just seems glitchy to me.

[Elda]

Dumb.

[pyroxxx]

You can loose stuff I am pretty sure people are not lying about it,. The whole wheel system is a living mess to begin with and I am not just saying forgetting your loadouts,.. need to press more damn strange and buton combinations inputs just to select and use an item ( and I am never 100% sure it worked every time) than flying in a flight simulator,.. I am sure I'll get used to it by the hour 40,.. but it is unintuative as all hell ) Lost great skins for dying,( but that one I can actually rationalize (though they were glued to my horses arse,.. so why.?). I am pretty sure people lost even more important things,..You can mitigate all this with manual saving,.. but the game is so huge,.. I want it to stay consistent,.. and don't want to loose 3 hours of building my stamina and focus,.. because I decided to have too much fun,.. for some odd reason,..got face blowed off

[Smokehouse]

How do you save manually?

[mkis007]

Pause>>>story>> >save game

[ArmrdChaos]

You can also end up losing your preorder Warhorse when you die. It was replaced by a standard horse. I had to go back to the stable in Valentine to acquire it again. The only crappy thing was any health or stamina I built up was gone. The bright side was I sold the replacement horse for some cash. I recommend saving often so you have some means of recovery.

[boing1]

I died a lot of times and never lost my War Horse. It was always there when I respawned.

[BrettAwesome]

I lost mine because it was shot right before I died. It sucks. I loved that horse
