The Barker Model 8 is by far the best rifle in the game. Though not necessarily the highest stats, it is well-rounded with a 4 out of 5 rating in every stat. This makes it an incredibly versatile rifle useful in both long and close-range gunfights. This gun can be purchased in Pasquale's Shop after Chapter 6.

Repeater as an Alternative until Chapter 6

Range 3 Bar 3/5

The most similar to the Barker Model 8 before Chapter 6 would be the Repeater. Decent for long and close-range fights, the Repeater is the first rifle you pick up in Chapter 2.

Barker Model 11 for Shotguns

Weapon Type
Barker Model 11Barker Model 11 Long Shotgun

The Barker Model 11 offers the highest damage and rate of fire you can get from a shotgun. This is a great choice for players who prefer gunning down enemies in close-range combat. This gun can be purchased in Pasquale's Shop after Chapter 6.

Pump-Action Shotgun as an Alternative until Chapter 6

Though the damage and rate of fire are a bit lower than the Barker Model 11, the Pump-Action Shotgun is a great alternative to get used to its close-range playstyle until you reach Chapter 6.

Vendetti for Pistols

Weapon Type

Ammo

Damage 5 Bar

Range 3 Bar 3/5

The Vendetti packs serious damage comparable to shotguns, making it the ideal secondary weapon. Its biggest drawback would be its 4-round cylinder, so make your shots count! This gun can be purchased in Pasquale's Shop after Chapter 6.

Vendetti Speciale in the Padrino Pack

Weapon Type
Vendetti SpecialeVendetti Speciale Pistol
Ammo

Damage 5 Bar
5/5

The Vendetti Speciale is actually better than the Vendetti due to its increased ammo capacity, technically making this the best pistol in the game. However, it can only be obtained by purchasing the Padrino Pack (Deluxe Edition).
