📋 About This Mod
Have you looked at Red Dead Redemption 2's weapon options and thought; "Man, I wish there were several unnecessary variants available to buy!" Worry not, you silly bitch! This mod is the answer to your overly specific dilemma.
This mod adds over 200 new weapons to the game, well, I say new, but they’re just variants of other guns. You get the gist.
This is a modified version of More Pretty Gun by AnRanWuShi, as well as using a small amount of code belonging to wickedhorseman. Credit goes to those two, as well as Dare To Game on YouTube for the designs of many of the factory finish variants. Other weapon variants come from movies or games, from FunniBunni, Swoopy, or Caper.
If the mod doesn't work for you 9 times out of 10 you didn't install it correctly. Install it how this page tells you to, or how the attached file tells you to. Do not assume you know better, don't assume it will be fine to have a file be below this one in the ModManager load order unless there are ZERO conflicts. I'm not going to be running tech support here, this is all you'll get.
HEAVILY recommended you install this!
Feel free to send in your own screenshots! I look forward to seeing them!

Smoak's Mega Arsenal adds over 200 weapon variants to Red Dead Redemption 2, including Red Dead Online exclusives, available at gunsmiths from the start but requiring the original weapon to unlock the rest at the fence. It's a modified version of More Pretty Gun, with credits to original authors. The mod is semi-functional and compatible with Pardon Letters Restored, but installation must be done exactly as instructed.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive content drop with 200+ variants, so you'll never run out of gun flavors
- Community-approved with 1,247 endorsements and 60k downloads, so it's proven
- Gunsmith availability from the get-go means you can start collecting early, but you still need the originals for the full set
⚠️ Cons
- Author admits it's only 'semi-functional', so expect some jank or missing features
- Installation is strict; if you mess up load order or file placement, it won't work and the author won't help
- Variants are just re-skins, not new mechanics, so if you want gameplay changes this isn't it
For RDR2 players who want a huge variety of gun skins without messing with complex mods. If you're a collector who loves showing off rare finishes, this is your jam. Skip if you're looking for new weapon types or gameplay overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Follow the installation instructions exactly as written—don't improvise or you'll break it.
- Make sure the mod is placed correctly in your mod manager's load order, and avoid conflicts with other mods unless you're sure they're compatible.
- To unlock all variants, you need to own at least one version of the original weapon first, then buy the rest at the fence.
