Duster Coat

The Duster Coat is an outfit found in Red Dead Redemption.

Description

“	A worn-out old duster. The coat protects your clothing from trail dust, but not much else.	„
	—In-game description

It is a worn, dark brown, oil skin duster. This type of coat was usually worn by deputy lawmen of the time, likely the reason for its requirements, seen below. It was also a popular choice for bounty hunters.

Acquisition

This outfit is obtained after reaching the honor rank of "Peacemaker". The Duster Coat makes you fire-proof, and appears to simply be worn over John Marston's standard Cowboy Outfit.

Trivia

• Even when playing as Jack Marston, John's Cowboy attire is still worn underneath the duster coat.
• The Duster Coat bears a strong resemblance to the Legend of the West Outfit, albeit in a different colour.
• Dusters have a long history in the West and Western movies, so there is likely no single inspiration for this outfit.
• The simulated cloth of the coat is very buggy and is known to fall through objects or stick inside the player during moments such as when Marston sits on something.
• It gathers dust very quickly.
• When wearing this outfit, players may be fired upon by gang members in Thieves' Landing, likely for its high honor requirements.
• This outfit is available from the start in the Undead Nightmare DLC pack.
• There is a slight error in the outfit. While it is called the Duster Coat, a true duster would be open in the back, allowing one's legs to be protected while on horseback. The outfit seems more like a hybrid between a duster and a trenchcoat in reality. However, it does affect how quickly dust gathers on Marston's trousers.
