In the Wild West of Red Dead Redemption 2, there are few things that are more important than the money in your pocket. One of them is when you want to choose your close-quarters firearm. A shotgun is your best choice. Here are the top three shotguns in RDR2.

3. Pump-Action Shotgun
The Pump-Action Shotgun is a fantastic all-rounder which unlocks fairly early in the game. Once you’ve completed Pouring Forth Oil in Chapter 2, you can buy this weapon from any gunsmith in the game. It hits hard with 2.6 damage.
| Damage | Range | Fire Rate | Reload | Accuracy | Ammo Capacity | Buy Value | Can It Be Customized? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.6 of 4 | 1.4 of 4 | 1.8 of 4 | 2.4 of 4 | 1.6 of 4 | 5 | $148 | Yes |
2. Repeating Shotgun
The Repeating Shotgun stands out as it holds 6 shells, which is the most ammo capacity of any shotgun in the game. However, you should wait a little bit before you can get your hands on this beautiful piece. After the mission Visiting Hours in Chapter 6, it unlocks at all gunsmiths for $185.
| Damage | Range | Fire Rate | Reload | Accuracy | Ammo Capacity | Buy Value | Can It Be Customized? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4 of 4 | 1.4 of 4 | 2 of 4 | 2.4 of 4 | 1.4 of 4 | 6 | $185 | Yes |
1. Sawed-Off Shotgun
It’s crazy that one of the top shotguns in the game is unlocked right off the bat. You can buy the Sawed-Off Shotgun from any gunsmith in the game as soon as Chapter 2. Its blistering 2.4 fire rate and 2.6 damage make it one hell of a shotgun. You can also dual-wield and double its efficiency.
| Damage | Range | Fire Rate | Reload | Accuracy | Ammo Capacity | Buy Value | Can It Be Customized? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.6 of 4 | 1.2 of 4 | 2.4 of 4 | 2 of 4 | 1 of 4 | 2 | $85 | Yes |
