Swords are melee weapons featured in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Description
Swords are long-bladed, pointy weapons that are good in close-quarters combat. They are similar to machetes, but differ in that they are typically thinner and double-edged to allow for an easier stab.

Broken Pirate Sword | This appears to have belonged to a pirate at one point, and is the only usable sword in any of the games, though it functions identically to the machete. It can slash, hack into a person's shoulder, or impale a person if they are on the ground. |  Can be obtained at any time from a boat near Saint Denis with a skeleton on it. |

Fussar's Sword | This is purely cosmetic, and not used by Fussar at any point. It is fully modeled and textured inside the sheath, but the player can never see this. | Cannot be obtained. |

Trivia
- The sword cannot be customized, though it appears this may have been intended at one point in Redemption 2.
- If the player customizes their guns at the gunsmith, the pirate sword will appear on their belt which is not normally possible; It usually disappears when unequipped.
