Red Ryder

The Red Ryder is a firearm which can be obtained by opening Presents during Christmas. Functionally, it is vare similar to the Musket, although it does significantly less damage. Despite being uncommon, it can be obtained by killing any enemies, and is therefore an excellent way to get the Arms Dealer early on in the game, which then allows the player to purchase powerful weapons and ammunition before going to the Corruption or Crimson.

Trivia

 * The Red Ryder is a reference to the "Red Rider BB gun" from A Christmas Story. The tooltip is a reference to this as well, referring to the most repeated line in the story, "You'll shoot your eye out!"
