Outfits in Redemption

Outfits in Red Dead Redemption are 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 nullifies changes to the player's Honor, and the Bandolier, which increases the amount of ammo they can carry, can be used in conjunction with outfits.

There are roughly 15 outfits in the game, but only 9 count towards 100% completion. Some outfits are rewarded for completing gameplay missions. Other outfits must be earned. They are initially unlocked by advancing through gameplay missions, and accumulating Fame and Honor. Once unlocked, players must track down various "scraps" by completing mini-games such as Five Finger Fillet and Arm Wrestling. Other scraps must be found, purchased or looted.

Some Outfits that do not contribute to 100% completion include the Duster Outfit, Gentleman's Attire, and Deadly Assassin.

Other Outfits like the U.S. Army Outfit require all the individual "scraps" to be found before it is considered complete.

Note that you may experience issues with certain Outfits (US Marshal Outfit and Rancher Clothing) not being completely in-sync between the Social Club page and your game. Rockstar Games is working to patch this very soon. Don’t worry, as progress earned in your save game will still be properly reflected there once this fix is in place.

Standard Outfits
These 13 outfits are available in all versions of the game.


 * Cowboy Outfit: This is Marston's main outfit, and the one he wears at the beginning of the game. It conveys no particular benefit.
