Red Dead Redemption Outfits Guide

In Red Dead Redemption, there are a total of thirteen outfits (not counting the PS3 exclusive) that John Marston can wear.

Acquiring these outfits will take some time as there are certain conditions that are needed to met before it can be unlocked or purchased. It’s possible to get all of them but it will require a little patience as some will take hours to get. Some outfits are easy to unlock, while others will require you to do a lot of things. Each of the outfits in Red Dead Redemption will have its own benefits while Marston is wearing them.

Below is the complete guide for Red Dead Redemption’s Outfits. If typos and errors are found, please leave us a comment and we’ll fix it right away. Thank you for your support!

  1. are you blind or what he already stated how to get the deadly assassin outfit look again with your glasses on make sure you clean them. lol

  2. this really is not a guide. its a list of how to unlock the ability to have the ability to complete quest to get the costume/outfits. i have most of the already and some of the locations can be difficult to find do to possible action going on or the spread of the location marker. please for our sake do not post anything like this and call it a guide, its just makes you look dumb.

  3. It shows i downloaded the assassin outfit but its not appearing in my outfit list.I have 15 outfits, 1 for joining social club.If its there its as undiscovered outfit and shows no challenges.Any ideas?

  4. Hey Guys, I had a free downloadable assassin outfit with my game and when i entered the code it says unlocked but how do i access it. i’ve tried through costume, campsite and outfitters but i cant find it. is it just for ps3 i have an xbox.

  5. In the game there is two outfits with a long coat; The first is the duster coat which you get automatically. But what of the outfits posted above is the other long-coated outfit? I haven’t discovered it yet but i want it bad :P

  6. @Perry P-the other long coat outfit is the legend of the west outfit,you unlock if you get rank 10 on all challenges.

  7. I don’t think the original outfit has “no benefit”. I think that outfit actually doubles the max amount of repeater ammo. I’ve had upwards of 190 ammo for the repeater carbine and the winchester repeater, but if I switch to a different suit, it always goes down to 100.

  8. No joke to complete this game I had to constntly look for tips and minute information like this but honestly every little piece of information helped, so I say thanks to the forum.

  9. I got all the Reyes’ Rebels Scraps except for the one I’m supposed to buy at the General Store in Escalera. When I get there, it says the item is unavailable for purchase. Is there a delay between the completion of the tasks and the final scrap’s availability at the General Store? Or is this possibly a glitch?

  10. can’t get the stranger mission “california” to come up, I finish the women and cattle like the guide said.

  11. could anyone tell me how to get waltons gang outfit coz in the walkthrough book it just says defeat a waltons gang member……

  12. ive attained rank 10 in all four challenges no legend of the west outfit why ne1??????

  13. I looked in the chest at Coot’s Chapel, but nothing happened. Im looking for the Deadly Assassin outfit.

  14. @Jbest; you have to of pre-ordered the game to get it. If you did, then I’m not sure what the issue could be. If you didn’t, you can’t get it.

  15. May be a different mission,, but I’m pretty sure US army outfit should read “Appointed” not “Appointment” :)
