Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare lets players gradually unlock the firearms from the base game to use against the monsters in the expansion. However, the DLC adds one of the best and most powerful weapons, the Explosive Rifle, into the game, letting players take out hoards of zombies with a single bullet. It's a fun weapon to run around the game and shoot enemies, causing a huge blast taking out everything nearby.

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

Players can get the best weapon in Red Dead Redemption Undead Night, the Explosive Rifle, by liberating the Rathskeller Fork settlement from the zombies. If you haven't visited the town before, all you need to do is head up the Gaptooth Ridge located on the northwest (top-left) side of the map.

After reaching the settlement, the prompt to fight off the hoard of zombies to make the town safe will pop up. All you need to do is take down all the zombies in the vicinity. One of the best ways to do this is by riding on your horse and taking out zombies on the move. Or, you could climb up onto one of the buildings where other NPCs are firing at zombies to be safe.

Once all the zombies are taken care of, you'll unlock Rank 1 of the Exploding Rifle challenges and the weapon itself. It has 30 max capacity with one bullet in the chamber and 29 in the mag. Players can replenish the weapon's ammo from loot containers and looting corpses.
