Billy Midnight Pistol

[RedDeadAddict]

Hi,

Long story short - I did the gunslinger mission "Billy Midnight" in Rhodes. Got to the part where I had to duel him on the track but kept dying a few times, so I kept restarting the checkpoint. Finally killed him and picked up his dropped pistol. However, because I kept restarting, my horse spawned on the train (I read online this was happening to alot of players). When I jumped off the moving train, the horse somehow died and I couldn't revive it.

Thinking the horse is more important than the pistol, I reloaded my most recent save. Sadly, the last save was after I killed "Billy Midnight" and I re-spawned with the horse alive. But the unique pistol is gone?? Not on my horse or in the gunsmiths.

Have I lost this gun forever now? Any answers would be appreciated.

It's difficult to say.  The gun is a one-time pickup, so it's a very real possibility that you lost the pistol in a save you didn't intend to load.  Unless you're in the habit of manually saving your game often, the game will only auto-save after events that affect progress, and we don't know what that save actually saved.

You may have. I have done this by accident myself and was unable to find it anywhere. Once you save the game or the autosave triggers, you likely lost the point between having it and not having it for good.
