How to Get the LeMat Revolver
The LeMat Revolver is renowned for its accuracy and high attack damage, making it one of the most deadly weapons in Red Dead Redemption. This revolver can kill an enemy with a single headshot, making it indispensable in combat.

However, if you have a high honor level, the gunsmith will offer you a discount, allowing you to buy the revolver for just $625. To obtain this revolver in multiplayer, you need to reach level 46. After that, the gun will appear in your inventory. Additionally, you can acquire it by killing another player who already has the revolver and taking it for yourself.
How to Get the Semi-Automatic Shotgun
