The first direct link between Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 appeared in the form of a minor cross-promotion, where players of the former could unlock a golden revolver weapon skin for the latter.
Originally announced as a GameStop exclusive, the playable skin of Resident Evil 5's Albert Wesker and the powerful Magnum Revolverweapon received such massive demand, Capcom decided to give them to everyone who purchased the game.
