Red Dead Redemption offers players an immersive experience where completing every aspect of the game, including collecting all outfits, can be quite fulfilling. Outfits in the game serve more than just a visual purpose; many come with specific benefits that aid players in achieving full completion and earning the 100 percent completion achievement.
Players can obtain outfits in various ways, with only one available for purchase outright from a store. Most outfits require collecting “Scraps,” which players must gather to unlock specific outfits. In total, there are 22 outfits to collect, spanning the main game and the *Undead Nightmare* DLC. Some outfits also have alternate versions.
John Marston’s Standard Cowboy Outfit
John Marston’s default outfit, known as the Cowboy Outfit, is unlocked at the beginning of the game. This outfit is recognizable as Marston’s iconic look. Following the final main story mission, “The Last Enemy Shall Be Destroyed,” the design of this outfit changes. However, reverting to the original Cowboy Outfit requires starting a new game. The Cowboy Outfit does not offer any gameplay benefits.
The Duster Coat and Honor System
The Duster Coat is linked to the game’s honour system, which tracks Marston’s moral choices. Marston’s honour level affects shop discounts. High honour provides discounts at most locations but results in higher costs at Thieves Landing. Conversely, low honour offers a discount at Thieves Landing but increases costs elsewhere. To earn the Duster Coat, Marston must achieve the Peacemaker rank, the second highest honour rank.

Acquiring the Mexican Poncho
The Mexican Poncho is tied to purchasing a safehouse in Nuevo Paraíso. Safehouses allow players to save their game and change outfits, and they also provide ammunition. This outfit, which has no additional perks, is the only one that can be bought along with a safehouse.

The Walton’s Gang Outfit
The Walton’s Gang Outfit requires collecting five or more “Scraps.” Once all Scraps are gathered, this outfit is unlocked. Wearing the Walton’s Gang Outfit prevents Walton Gang members from attacking unless provoked.
