Savvy Merchant Outfit

In-game description
"You have quite the reputation from working the docks. Gunsmiths will charge you half price on their goods."

How to Obtain

 * Scrap 1: Win $1000 total from Gambling
 * Scrap 2: Buy or sell item at every Gunsmith
 * Scrap 3: Gather $200 worth of herbs
 * Scrap 4: Execute 20 people
 * Scrap 5: Complete "The Prohibitionist" Stranger side-mission

Tips & Tricks

 * $1000 winnings from gambling may seem like a challenge, but it can easily done by playing Five Finger Fillet at Armadillo. Once the 4th contestant sits down, wager $100. The combination for both rounds is "A-B, A-Y, A-X, A-B, A-Y" (Xbox 360) or "X-O, X-Triange, X-Square, X-O, X-Triange" (PS3). Keep repeating this, wagering $100 each time, and within 10 or so goes $1000 should be earned.


 * The gunsmiths are located at Blackwater, Thieves Landing, Armadillo and Escalera. At each gunsmith, simply buy Bait, as it only costs around $10. Buying items from Gunsmiths prior to downloading the outfit will not count towards this patch of the outfit.


 * To execute someone, simply walk up to them and press the fire button. A mini-cutscene should play, confirming the execution.

Trivia

 * This outfit was a candidate in a vote for pre-order bonuses along with the Expert Hunter Outfit but was beaten by the Deadly Assassin Outfit by a landslide as such it was originally unobtainable in the game.
 * Rockstar released an unfinished version of the DLC for PS3 on the 1st of September in Europe and on the 2nd of September in other countries except for the United States. This version was reported to be untested and full of bugs. R* recommends to anyone who downloaded this version to delete it from your console and wait for the tested and finished version, which came out on the 12th of October.
