The best repeaters in Red Dead Redemption 2 are going to carry Arthur Morgan through the early game, especially with their high ammo capacity, accuracy, and moderate damage.

- How to Get the Carbine Repeater: Purchased from a Gunsmith for $90 after Old Friends (Chapter 1)
The Carbine Repeater is one of the first repeaters players will have access to, and despite its popularity and ease of access, it’s not the best. The Carbine Repeater has an average amount of damage, and its range and fire rate don’t really compliment it as decent competition against other repeaters, especially when there is an army to push through.

As the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur has made some powerful statements that resonate with players.
The lack of bullets with a total of 7 in a magazine makes the Carbine Repeater a tad annoying to reload, even if the reload speed is fairly fast. What players have with the Carbine Repeater is a decent enough starting gun that won’t let them down, but can definitely be left behind for superior guns.

- How to Get the Litchfield Repeater: Purchased from a Gunsmith for $145 after Goodbye, Dear Friend (Chapter 6)
The Litchfield Repeater shouldn’t be underestimated, as its 16-bullet capacity makes it an easily wielded weapon for putting bullets in gang members. However, the Litchfield Repeater may boast of its highest damage stat across the repeaters, but it also suffers from a slow reload speed and an even slower fire rate.
The Litchfield Repeater might be more accurate due to the slow fire rate, but in that case, maybe try out a rifle instead. It’s a decent and pretty enough repeater that is definitely worth trying out due to its ammo capacity and damage, perfect for hunts and shootouts, but there are better options.

- How to Get the Evans Repeater: Purchased from a Gunsmith for $140 after American Distillation (Chapter 3)
The Evans Repeater isn’t exactly the most deadly, especially since it’s a weird gun that might have players miss a few shots here and there, but that really doesn’t matter. In the end, the Evans Repeater is going to hit the target, since this repeater has an ammo capacity of 26, which is truly diabolical when compared to other repeaters.

- How to Get the Lancaster Repeater: Purchased from a Gunsmith for $135 after An American Pastoral Scene (Chapter 2)
The Lancaster Repeater is the best repeater in Red Dead Redemption 2 for a few reasons. Not only does it have a fair ammo capacity of 14 bullets, or a balanced damage output, but it boasts of a high accuracy and an easy amount of handling for each shot to make for a weapon that will truly kill everyone that is facing the barrel.
The Lancaster Repeater is easily the greatest, and with its accuracy and fast reticle, aiming at anyone in the vicinity will turn Arthur Morgan into death incarnate as he unleashes a deadly fury without the need for Dead Eye to lay waste to his foes.
