How to Get the Best Weapon in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare

As a seasoned cowboy who’s been through the dusty trails of New Austin and the rugged mountains of Blackwater, I can confidently say that Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare is a wild ride like no other! The Explosive Rifle, that bad boy packs a punch that sends the undead flying six feet under.


In Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, players gradually gain access to the weapons from the main game for battling monsters in this expansion pack. Yet, the DLC introduces one of the most potent and formidable weapons, the Explosive Rifle, which allows you to obliterate hordes of zombies with just a single shot. It’s an enjoyable weapon to roam around the game, blasting enemies, creating a massive explosion that eliminates everything in its vicinity.

How to Get the Explosive Rifle in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare

In Red Dead Redemption Undead Night, players can acquire the top-notch Explosive Rifle by clearing out the zombie infestation at Rathskeller Fork settlement. If you’re not familiar with the area, simply travel to Gaptooth Ridge, which is positioned on the northwest corner (top-left side) of the map.

Upon arriving at the town, a message will appear instructing you to fend off the horde of zombies to secure the town’s safety. To accomplish this task, simply eliminate all nearby zombies. An effective strategy is to ride your horse and engage zombies as you move along. Alternatively, you can ascend a building where other NPCs are already firing at the zombies for added protection.

After dealing with all the zombies, you will gain access to Rank 1 of the Exploding Rifle challenges, as well as the rifle itself. It boasts a maximum capacity of 30 rounds, with one round already chambered and 29 more in the magazine. Players can refill their ammo supply by searching loot containers and fallen enemies.
