Red Dead Redemption 2: where to find the pirate sword and tricorn hat

It seems like there’s more melee weapons hidden around the wild west than revolvers.

One of the coolest weapons we’ve found is the Broken Pirate Sword. It’s handy in a fight and makes a change from all those hatchets. It’s almost as cool as the viking axe that you can find elsewhere on the map.

To find the Broken Pirate Sword you’ll want to head to Saint Denis, in particular look out from the long train bridge to the southwest towards a small cluster of islands.

You’ll find the sword in a boat on this cluster of islands.

You’re going to be looking for a dilapidated boat. But before you go, be sure to hitch your horse somewhere safe. There are a lot of alligators here, small and large, and they will scare your horse until it bucks you off. And the last thing you want is for your trusted steed to become gator food.

Make sure you’re armed with something like the shotgun too, because if they attack they’re quick and deadly. Your best bet is to avoid them altogether.

Head down through the swamp from island to island and you’ll find the boat, with a skull of its previous owner, sticking up from the floor.

Now, to complete the look, you’re going to want to get the pirate’s tricorn hat. For this you need to row out to the large island in Flat Iron Lake. You need to have a boat purchased through the camp, which will cost you $360.
