RDR2 Online Weapons Variants and Accessories – CI V2.2

RDR2 Online Weapons, Variants & Accessories – CI expands Catalogue Improvements 1.3 to make it much more comprehensive for Story Mode. It brings selectable Red Dead Online weapon variants, brand new Online weapons, tools, weapon wraps, horse masks, and wearable accessories seamlessly into the game.

The mod includes 14 selectable variants for 13 different weapons, multiple new weapon wraps, numerous additional weapons/tools, expanded wearable accessories (masks, helmets, eyewear, eyepatches, rings, bracelets), and brand new horse equipment including the Upland Saddle set and Horse Masks. The weapon variants and wraps are seamlessly integrated directly into the Gunsmith’s menu, feeling like an original part of the game. Furthermore, a fully functional No Variant option has been perfected, allowing you to revert to your original weapon appearance seamlessly whenever you want.

Additional Weapons, Tools, Accessories & Where to Buy Them

Here is where you can find the new items included with the mod:

Left Hand Rings
“No Rings” Reset Options

Purchasable from the Stables (Horse Equipment):

Horse Masks (9 different families with various colors)
Upland Saddle Set (Upland Saddle, Saddlebags, Stirrups, Bridle, Blanket, and Bedroll)

(Note: All added items have their own catalogue entries, prices, and ownership states in the game. Unique items cannot be purchased repeatedly after you already own them.)
IMPORTANT: Wardrobe, Masks, Rings & Horse Masks Mechanics

The Rings: The camp Wardrobe only lists accessory items that your player currently owns. To easily remove rings from your character, you must first purchase the Right Hand and Left Hand “No Rings” reset items from the Trapper. Once purchased, both “No Rings” options will permanently become available in your camp Wardrobe for easy outfit management.
Masks & Hats: Masks and hats can be worn together deliberately to allow for more outfit combinations. If you prefer not to wear a hat with a mask, you can remove it manually.
Horse Masks & Manes: The included HorseMasks.asi plugin automatically restores your horse’s mane when a mask is equipped (fixing the game’s default “bald horse” issue). If you stable a new horse, ride it for a few seconds without a mask first so the plugin can “learn” its mane.

Variant Features
A native-style Variants menu added seamlessly to the Gunsmith. A variant is now one single choice, exactly as it is presented in Red Dead Online.
Functional “No Variant” option working perfectly on all supported weapons. Clicking “No Variant” restores your weapon’s exact previous normal component configuration without any loss.
Complete models, correct materials, and real physical weapon parts.
Flawless appearance at the Gunsmith counter, while held, holstered, or carried on the shoulder.
The Gunsmith menu safely disables incompatible customizations (like normal components and styles) while a visual weapon variant is active to prevent glitches.
Dual wielding works properly; applying a variant to one revolver leaves the weapon in your other hand alone.
Clean character transitions and save states. Variants are strictly tied to the individual character and their own inventory record. Loading a different save will no longer carry over parts where they do not belong.
Variants are applied only to your character; standard weapons used by NPCs are unaffected.
