sory that is for online yes online there is a lvl you need to clear to buy certain items
if you mean in the story , than you need advance further in the story to unlock the weapons
chapter 1- chapter 2 etc but it's kinda strange you can see them in the shop and not be able to buy them but i think that is just since they reused those files also in online and than you need to be able to buy every gun if every shop
was that easy to change , yes i think by adding couple line code it would been easy to hide them in story but now at least you are able to see what you can buy in the future
some weapons i never bought in story and waited for the better weapons ,
but that was also not realy needed i just wanted to be cheap and safe some $ :p

Its Rockstar's "progression" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It doesnt make any sense for them to be locked behind story moments when theyre literally in the store. They couldve make them all available from the get go and lock their decorated and unique variants to story progression. There shouldve added decorated variants for each gun in the game and locked them instead.

Not really, most of them unlocks earlier than you would see in story. What annoys me most is the fact that you don't even need to buy most of those weapons since they are handed to you for free in missions. Bought one sniper rifle earlier and fully kitted it out, only to play one more mission where i got one for free which then replaced my current one for the mission.

The reason Rockstar did that is so that even if the player uses cheats to get Money in Single Player Mode, they would still need to level up with Story progression. Imo it's a smart thing that Rockstar did that. Most of the players would say other wise ( If they Cheated to get the Money ) is just ticked off cause they can't get a powerful weapon from the getgo even if they have the funds.

least that's what i think when it comes to Some users complaining about weapons being locked

[gangster1979]

agree 100% kuroneko , but they also could have hide them when you are not able to buy them + you can chose yourself when you progress the story so it might be possible to do a lot of selling hunting items (etc) and legaly earn the money needed to buy those weapons before you progress the story , Rockstar didn't wanted ppl running around with a automatic pistol in chapter 2

Quote : "but they also could have hide them when you are not able to buy them"

Yes that would have been a better decision by Rockstar, but i think that ( at the time when the game was about to come out or in development ), they did not count on the severity of cheats & other issues cause by some other players to cheat in the game.

But who know's if they will eventually ( Someday ), fix that Oo?

Why hide them?
Plus it's a Order Catalog, doesn't make sense to have things missing or pages missing based around "locked" items.

Also if playing RDR2 Story, make sure you visit the Gun Store in Saint Denis at some point. As it's the only one that actually has ALL the guns for sale. Other stores in the game only have some of the guns and ammo available, not all.

In RDO however this doesn't matter as all the shops (based on type) have the same catalog.

So in RDO all the gun stores have the same catalog.
General Stores have the same Catalog for that stuff; etc.

In RDR2 Story the catalog for any store is specific for that store.

[Razorhunter]

I dont really get the excuse with the cheats. Who cares if a player cheats items in a singleplayer game? 95% of players will never cheat anything and you lock all of them out of fun. Seller drops ALL the weapons in the catalog right on the table some centimeter in front of your nose. And if you wanna buy it just says "locked". Nothing more. Thats hillarious imo. Why would it matter if you run around with sniper and auto pistol in chapter 2? Its just logical. Why wouldnt you be able to buy stuff from a lore point of view, you worked for the money and want to spend it. It just makes me not want to play the game anymore as does the awful sidequest system.

Well no see the joke is on the player because all those weapons you can simply just go find and gain for free within the game world.

yeah, that was the stupidest part, I bought a shotgun for a hundred dollars before getting to a point where u get stupid amounts of money, and then i found it ten minutes later on the ground in a story mission...
