Real Firearm Names – XML Edition V1.0

Red Dead Redemption 2 uses fictional or generic names for many firearms that are clearly based on real weapons.

This XML replaces those names with their real-world counterparts while keeping them short enough to fit properly in RDR2’s UI.

It currently contains 542 weapon-related string replacements across the game.

🔫 Included Renames

Unique and character-owned weapons are also covered where applicable.

✏️ Easy To Customize

One of the main advantages of the XML version is how easy it is to change the names yourself.
Open Real Firearm Names Translation.xml with Notepad++, VS Code or any text editor.
An entry looks like this:
Colt M1873 SAA
Simply change Colt M1873 SAA to whatever name you prefer, save the file and start the game.
Do not change the String ID.

📦 Requirement

Universal RDR2 String Translator
This XML does not work by itself.

⚙️ Installation

Install Universal RDR2 String Translator Place Real Firearm Names Translation.xml in your main RDR2 folder next to RDR2.exe Start the game

📝 Using Other URT XML Files

Only one * Translation.xml file should be active at a time.
If you already use another URT XML, merge the weapon entries from this file into your existing XML.
