Speaking about western-themed movies or games, one of the first things that come to mind is blowing stuff up. So, while playing Red Dead Redemption 2 you might be wondering where to buy dynamite.

I won’t ask if you are looking for it for a train robbery, to blow up a horse or just for fun, it’s none of my business and after all, Red Dead Redemption 2 dynamite is a must have for any guy free from the rule of law like Arthur Morgan. So if you want to know where you can get it, you are in the right place.

Where to Buy Dynamite in RDR2

Unfortunately, dynamite doesn’t grow up on trees so you have to buy it and in this guide, we’re going to tell you which traders sell it to you (but first you have to complete the main story mission named “Who the Hell is Leviticus Cornwall?” in Chapter 1 ).

Once completed you will unlock fences that are the only kind of merchant that sells dynamite (just think about it: if you work for a general store or another reputable establishment, would you be happy to keep high explosive in your inventory?). Going along through the game you will unlock more fences but we suppose you’re looking for this dangerous explosive pretty early on in the game.

Fences are a bandit’s best friend

If you are a beginner, we have just one more tip before sending you into the wild west. Look for the fences in either Rhodes or the city of Saint-Denis: if you buy dynamite from them you’ll be pretty near to the starting position in chapter two.

If you are not, we can tell you that the other fences are in Emerald Ranch and in Van Horn Trading Post. You could also be able to loot it or get it as quest reward but remember: even if you can buy it for a single dollar per stick, you can’t carry more than eight sticks at a time.

Now go and make everything explode.
