That's just a lighthearted joke for our PVP expert around these parts of western frontier: Ektope.

 

This and it's rumored you need roughly 200 kills to max out the weapon affinity

Guys don't forget, there's 1 more RDR 1 repeater waiting to be reintroduced, also a fan favorite: Henry Repeater. That's was main weapon in Bag matches in Armadillo. I still remember where it would spawn and how everybody would run over there. All i can remember is high magazine and really good for PVP.

 

The Henry Repeater is the Litchfield Repeater my guy

I just murdered some guy trying to ruin my hideout with slippery bastard and hip fired evans. I can recommend that tactic. Spray and pray.

He was very obviously suffering from suppression and couldn't hit a thing.

Its pretty much Support role in bf4

Henry Repeater = Litchfield in RDR2. Winchester 1866 = Lancaster, and Spencer Carbine = Carbine Repeater.

I thought one was modeled after the 1873 Winchester.  I may have my dates messed up.

Nope, Lancaster is '66 Winchester. I very much want the '73 Winchester, a magnificent weapon. So we could get an even better Lancaster at some point.

Cool. I thought there was 2 models.  That would be awesome.

I barely even use my Lancaster so this'll be a pass for me unless some truly compelling info emerges.

Yeah, Bolt Action FTW as far as I'm concerned... very versatile.

 

But I love the sound of the Lancaster--very satisfying; much like the pump-action sound (which I think got nerfed/changed recently)?

I have had far better performance out of my Lancaster than I ever expected.  The bolt action is my high power long arm of choice (unless buffalo rifle makes a return). The springfield is okay, but I prefer the larger clip.

I didn't know until a few weeks back, I was actually reading the pages with all the advertisements for the weapons and saw that it said something like "the army were supplied with these henry repeating rifles".

Also +1 for the LeMatt, we need that one back !

One shot, one kill and perfect pelt for large animals (deers, alligators)?

Agreed. After a couple days with it, it got to a point where I couldn't rely on it in PvP/chance skirmishes. I had to put a lot of shots on target it seemed. I'm not a good head-shot player at all. I stay on my horse, zig-zag and kill from afar with my Springfield. Closer in, the Lancaster and even closer in, the shotgun pistols. I just don't feel good about the Evans in any of those situations. For clearing hideouts though, I love it.

After having gotten it and used it, I have to admit I like it a lot. I like the look, sound & feel of it. It's something different; and for a gun enthusiast it's a must-have. I've already customized it to make it my own.

i've been thinking about buying the evens repeating rifle to combat griefers and to use in game modes and challenges, so should i just pass on the evens and stay with my bolt action rifle or get something else?

A Man Deprived

So now that it's been out for a good 3 days, has any other customization enthusiast gotten the chance to personalize theirs? I'd love to see what you guys have come up with. Here's mine: (Browned Steel, Cocobolo Varnish, Walnut Leather Wrap, Victorian Engravings minus the barrel)

Anyone find anything worth hunting with the Evan's rifle?

Each weapon type works as a perfect kill for a particular animal type, some examples are rifles for medium/large game (bolt action/springfield/rolling block/carcano, varmint is too small caliber) such as deer, wolves, elk, cougars/bears, repeaters work on small/medium animals such as pigs and coyote/foxes, bows for the tiniest birds/animals like songbirds and squirrels/chipmunks but it also requires small game arrows.

 

Any of the examples above will reduce the pelt/carcass quality if shot with the wrong weapon even if it was a clean one shot kill.

 

So I apologize if I'm making assumptions here but if you're using the Evan's repeater to kill anything other than the correct animal type it will drop in quality.

It's a good hideout clearer.

It's probably better than 20 rounds of dual Mausers so hmm.

I've never gotten a perfect kill on a fox or coyote with a repeater. Bow with normal arrows are way easier.

To be honest I could be wrong about those two and they're instead bow kills, certain animals I admittedly haven't checked the info on in a while.

They're both. Alot of medium animals are.

When you Show Info on animal you'll see how to perfect kill

as i've previously mentioned in this thread i've been thinking about buying a evens repeater to use in game modes and missions, even to help fight griefers, is the evens repeater worth the $300 expense?

Different guns for different situations. Up close I usually use a shotgun, but I love my schofield too. Lancaster is great for pvp, but for range I may go with the bolt action, especially hunting medium to larger game. The Evans is useful too, great for pve, but it also has aesthetic value for me. I don't regret buying the Evans repeater.
