Outfits in Redemption

Outfits in Red Dead Redemption influenced by historical events and reflect the fashions of the era. Some outfits give John Marston bonuses or special abilities when worn. Additions such as the bandana, which helps to reduce the player's wanted level, can be used in conjunction with outfits.

It has been confirmed that there are 13 outfits in the game. Although the current max is either 15 (Xbox 360 version) or 16 (PlayStation 3 version), should the player acquire the appropriate exclusive and downloadable bonus outfits. Some can be bought from stores, while others have to be earned through activities such as shooting vultures circling over carcasses.

The earned outfits, such as the different gang "uniforms" and the US Army outfit, must be "made" by collecting the five or six scrap pieces required to put the outfit together.

Standard Outfits

 * Cowboy Outfit: This is Marston's main outfit, and the one he wears at the beginning of the game.


 * Duster Coat: Identical to the Cowboy Outfit, the player dons a dark-gray oilskin duster. This is achieved once the player receives the honor level "peacemaker".


 * Elegant Suit: Bought from the tailor in Thieves' Landing. It is possible to cheat at poker while wearing this outfit. Obtaining this outfit will score the player the He Cleans Up Well! achievement.
