What RDR2's Guns Reveal About The Van Der Linde Gang
Rockstar's western epic Red Dead Redemption 2 is renowned for its attention to detail, and that extends to the Van der Linde Gang's weapons of choice. Every gunslinging member of the gang has unique weapons, some more impressive than others. The developers didn't just add them for show, though, and most of the custom weaponry in RDR2 are reflections of their individual owners.
The only exception is Red Dead Redemption 2 protagonist Arthur Morgan, who has an extremely varied arsenal as the player character. Although Arthur uses plenty of guns throughout the game, the gang tends to have a few favorites. Cattleman Revolvers are by far the most common weapon of choice for the Van der Linde Gang, with the Schofield a distant second.

Charles, for instance, is seen using a tomahawk, a bow, throwing knives, and a variety of firearms, but only has one unique weapon. From Dutch to Sean, every violent criminal in the Van der Linde gang has spent some of their blood money on a personalized gun.
Dutch's twin custom Schofields are by far the most ornate weapons in the gang. The two revolvers are colored mostly black, with elaborate gold engravings and pearl grips. Just like Dutch having the nicest tent in RDR2's camp, his Schofields show how hollow the Van der Linde Gang leader's words of equality are. Dutch uses his charisma to cultivate followers, promising an outfit that's more of a family, as long as he gets the lion's share and has all the nicest accessories.
