Outfits in Redemption

Template:Spoiler

Outfits in Red Dead Redemption are influenced by historical events and reflect the fashions of the era. Some outfits give Marston bonuses or special abilities when worn. Accessories such as the bandana, which nullifies changes to the player's Honor, and the Bandolier, which increases the amount of ammo the player can carry, can be used in conjunction with outfits.

At the start of the Abigail Marston mission "The Outlaw's Return" when the player obtains the Rancher Clothing, the player won't be able to change outfits again until having completed the Jack Marston mission "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed".

Overview

John Marston1 — Cowboy Outfit with Bandolier

Rdr hecleansupwell05 — John Marston wearing the "Gentleman's Attire"

There are 13 outfits in the main game and an additional 5, which can be obtained through various DLC. 9 outfits are needed towards 100% Completion (DLC outfits do not count). 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, or by downloading them from DLC or pre-orders. Once unlocked, players must track down various "scraps" by completing mini-games such as Five Finger Fillet and Arm Wrestling. Other scraps must be discovered, purchased or looted.

Over time, outfits will get dusty. Dust transfers over to other outfits when the player changes clothes. Dust can be washed off by wading in water. Apparently, the only outfit that does not gather dust is the Gentleman's Attire. The Duster Coat seems to gather dust quickly.
