Deadly Assassin Outfit

The Deadly Assassin Outfit is an outfit for John Marston in Red Dead Redemption.

While wearing this outfit, the player will regenerate Dead-Eye targeting twice as fast.

The Dead Assassin Outfit is the winning outfit of the Red Dead Redemption Referendum Outfits Trailer along side the Expert Hunter Outfit and Savvy Merchant Outfit. It's unknown if the losing outfits will or will not appear in the game.

The player will be able to unlock the Deadly Assassin Outfit via the following in-game challenges:


 * 1) Win a duel in Armadillo
 * 2) Capture or kill Mo van Barr
 * 3) Solve the mystery of the missing townsfolk
 * 4) Search Coot's Chapel
 * 5) Complete the Twin Rocks hideout.

Known issues

 * A common problem for Xbox360 and Playstation 3 owners is that the preorder code from Gamestop does not work. It is unknown if Rockstar is fixing this or not. The downloadable content list displays the deadly assassin outfit but it does not show up in game and as of now cannot be obtained. The outfit only appears to work for the profile that activated it, disallowing other profiles on the same system to use the code.


 * Other Issues stem from Mo Van Barr not appearing in the bounties in game at all for some gamers, as well as some people having killed Mov van Barr before activiating their pre-order codes, thus 'glitching' the game and not allowing the player to obtain the outfit, despite having killed him previously.

Trivia

 * The hat and the jacket incorporated in the outfit bear a striking resemblance to the costume worn by Lee Van Cleef's antagonistic character in the 1966 Western film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. In the same film, Eli Wallach's character can see seen wearing an eye patch while disguised as a Confederate soldier.


 * The slate-blue vest is identical to the costume worn by Russel Crowe's anti-hero character in the 2007 remake of the Western 3:10 to Yuma.


 * The eye patch is an allusion to the Dead-Eye Targeting system, used throughout the game.
 * In the GameStop advertisement trailer, this suit is used as a reference to Naked Snake or Big Boss, of the Metal Gear series.
