The last DLC for Red Dead Redemption added additional Gang Hideouts that rewarded the highest scoring player with an Explosive Rifle holding five rounds that could not be replenished by ammo boxes and were lost if you died, unfortunately many players used glitches and exploits that enabled them to have an Explosive Rifle with ammo every time they respawned which was a nightmare for clean players because the Explosive Rifle had the range of a sniper rifle and the impact radius of a stick of dynamite. I am a tad worried by the inclusion of explosive ammo, I'm hoping it can only be used in singleplayer.

Just checked this old one and it was giving me 150... There's the problem...

Does anyone know if the buffalo rifle will be in the game?

Very true. The problem with GTAV:O IMO was that it forced players who want to build businesses, do the missions with friends, etc. into a free-for-all environment that quite frankly gave griefers a drastically unfair advantage. Players doing the missions had everything to lose (sometimes 100's of thousands of dollars) while the aggressors risked nothing, could engage with anything they wanted to in their arsenal, could respawn limitlessly, etc. It essentially painted a target on players who simply want to play the game and created a buffet for trolls. I get that some folks like that but I think they can make modes that better suit a PvP play style. HOWEVER, they also should create a mode for players who prefer a more cooperative experience where they don't force those players to have to join public free-for-all session to take advantage of activities, build businesses, perform related missions, etc. At the very least I believe they should make aggression toward other players an act with great risk as to discourage it and (rather) encourage cooperative gameplay.
