Guide to Outfits in Red Dead Redemption

Among the many unlockable items in Red Dead Redemption are a series of outfits that not only allow you to change your appearance, but also offer gameplay bonuses. These bonuses, ranging from making certain factions treat you better to increasing your Dead Eye ability, are more than worth the trouble it takes to unlock each set of clothing.

Most of these outfits are unlocked through a specific process. You must first complete a single specific event to start the process, then find "scraps" of clothing by satisfying certain conditions within the game world. Read on for full details on each outfit.

You can begin working to acquire the Army Outfit after you complete the "An Appointed Time" mission. While wearing it, you will appear to be an enlisted member of the U.S. army, but the disguise won't stand up to careful scrutiny.

To unlock it, the following conditions must be satisfied:

•

  Find Scrap 1 inside a cabin near the lake in Aurora Basin.
• Earn Scrap 2 by winning at arm wrestling at the Pacific Union Railroad Camp.
• Scrap 3 is yours when you eliminate all other players in a poker game in the city of Blackwater.
• Get Scrap 4 when you finish the "Lights, Camera, Action" stranger's task.
• Scrap 5 is obtained after the successful completion of a Nightwatch job in the city of Blackwater.
• Finally, Scrap 6 can be purchased from a tailor in Blackwater.

The Bandito Outfit acquisition process is unlocked the first time you defeat a member of the Bandito gang. While wearing it, Banditos and Mexican outlaws will be friendly toward you until you perform an aggressive act.

To dress like a Bandito, you must find six scraps.

• Successfully complete a Nightwatch job in Chuparosa to unlock the second Scrap.
• Scrap 3 is yours if you can defeat all other Liar's Dice players in Casa Madrugada.
• Get Scrap 4 when you claim a Bandito bounty alive.
• Defend Mexican residents against Bandito attacks to unlock scrap 5.
• Finally, Scrap 6 can be purchased from the general store in Chuparosa.

Like the Bandito Outfit, the Bollard Twins Outfit makes members of the Bollard Twins gang act in a friendly manner toward you. To begin the process of unlocking it, you must first defeat a member of the Bollard Twins Gang.

Afterward, there are six scraps to be collected:

  Scrap 1 is found inside a Thieves' Landing warehouse. The same warehouse where you find and rescue Shaky during the "On Shaky's Ground" mission.
• Get Scrap 2 for completing a Nightwatch job at the Macfarlane ranch.
• Scrap 3 is the reward when you win a game of Horseshoes at Macfarlane's Ranch.
• To obtain Scrap 4, you must claim a Bollard Twins Gang bounty alive.
• For Scrap 5, Defend the residents of Hennigen's Stead from an attack by the Bollard Twins gang.
• The sixth and final scrap can be bought from the Thieves' Landing tailor.

There are no scraps to collect the Bureau Uniform. Instead, all you have to do is reach 100% game completion. No small task.

While wearing the Bureau outfit, you will enjoy complete immunity from all law enforcement. Be as bad as you like, your bounty will never increase and no one will ever pursue you.

The Deadly Assassin Outfit is only available to those who pre-ordered Red Dead Redemption from a participating store like Gamestop. While wearing it, your Dead Eye will regenerate twice as fast as normal.

There is still a process to go through to accomplish it, though. You'll need to find five scraps to complete it.

• Scrap 1 is found inside a chest in Coot's Chapel.
• Scrap 2 is yours after you clear out Twin Rocks Hideout.
• To get Scrap 3, you'll have to capture or kill the New Austin Bounty target Moe Van Barr.
• Scrap 4 is won in a duel in Armadillo.
• Finally, Scrap 5 is unlocked after completing the stranger task "American Appetites."
