In Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, players face hordes of zombies and other creepy creatures. Among the weapons available to fight these enemies, the Explosive Rifle stands out as one of the most potent tools in your arsenal. Unlike the standard weapons from the base game, this rifle allows you to eliminate large groups of zombies with a single shot, causing massive explosions.
Here's how you can acquire this powerful weapon and use it to your advantage. How to Obtain the Explosive Rifle To get your hands on the Explosive Rifle in Undead Nightmare, you first need to liberate the Rathskeller Fork settlement from the zombie invasion. This area is located in the top-left section of the map, near Gaptooth Ridge.

Take out the zombies in the area to make the settlement safe again.
You can approach this task in several ways. One option is to ride your horse through the settlement, taking down zombies while on the move. Alternatively, you can climb onto one of the buildings where other NPCs are already fighting the undead, offering a safer vantage point.
After clearing the area, you will unlock Rank 1 of the Exploding Rifle challenges and gain access to the weapon itself. The Explosive Rifle has a capacity of 30 rounds, with one bullet in the chamber and 29 in the magazine. To restock ammo, simply loot containers or the bodies of the undead.
