Updated on August 12, 2025, by Gerardo Molina:It’s hard to pinpoint a single thing that Red Dead Redemption 2 does not do in the most extensive and complete manner possible. Whether it’s main and side quests, weapons, horses, NPCs, stores, or outfits, there’s always a lot for players to explore and discover. Another thing that makes Red Dead Redemption 2 outfits great is that while some of them are ideal for hot weather, others are much more efficient at keeping Arthur warm in cold areas. There are endless style choices regarding how players can dress Arthur, with some of them being appropriate for an outlaw running from justice, and others fit for a gentleman of the highest social circles in Saint Denis.
27The Nuevo Paraíso Gunslinger Outfit
A Special Outfit Reserved For Those Who Purchased The Special Or Ultimate Edition Of The Game
The Nuevo Paraíso Gunslinger Outfitis different from other outfits in the game for a simple reason—it cannot be purchased or unlocked through normal means, and is instead obtained by purchasing the Special or Ultimate Editions of the game.
This outfit is greatly inspired by the cowboys and outlaws of the time, specifically south of the border. The black and brown tones of the Nuevo Paraíso Gunslinger outfit give it a unique look that makes Arthur seem much more menacing than usual. Once players complete the Master Hunter Challenges, players can unlock the gun belt and holster that match this outfit.
26The Deauville
An Elegant Outfit For Those Into Fashion
Saint Denis is known for being one of largest cities in the American Wild West. Not only does it have several long paved streets, beautiful buildings, a ton of culture, and some of the most sophisticated individuals in the game, but it’s also home toThe Deauvilleoutfit, which is fit for a gentleman of the high society. The Deauville is made up of a shirt, a coat, fancy-looking pants, riding leather gloves and a pristine top hat-
Naturally, an outfit this posh would be very expensive, so players can expect to pay the whopping amount of $115.00 to get it at the Saint Denis tailor. This might not be a lot of money in the later stages of the game, but if players want to get it as soon as possible, they might come up short. Those who don’t feel like spending their hard-earned money but still want Arthur to look classy can introduce the “VANITY. ALL IS VANITY” cheat to unlock it. Players should note, however, that activating any kind of cheat in the game deactivates achievements and trophies, so if that’s something they don’t want to happen, they’ll have to start saving and rob a few people along the way.
25The Dolton
A Neat-looking Outfit With Leather Suspenders
The Doltonis by no means the best-looking outfit in the game. However, it works very well for areas that are really hot and gives Arthur a somewhat distinguished look thanks to its patterned pants, red shirt, and elegant leather suspenders that complement the rest of the outfit. The Dolton can be purchased in Strawberry from the General Store for the fair price of $61.75.
This might be a considerable amount of money if players want to buy this outfit early in the game, but once they progress further through the story, the outfit will even seem cheap, and it’s a great addition to Arthur’s wardrobe.
24The Rattler
Purchased From The Trapper
The trapper inRed Dead Redemption 2is a valuable character that players must find to sell off their valuable pelts for a pretty penny. Hunting in this game is quite fleshed out, and players will be rewarded for clean kills with the opportunity to let the protagonist wear some of thebestRDR2outfits, and the Rattler is one such outfit. This attire comes paired with a snazzy red jacket that looks great on the wearer.
One thing to keep in mind about this outfit is that players won’t be able to craft it until they reachthe epilogue of the game, since the Collared Peccary Pig resides in New Austin. However, players who wish to brave the law and want Arthur to wear this outfit at any cost can break into restricted territory and acquire this outfit using a covered wagon. It’s recommended to save after acquiring the pelt required for this outfit to prevent any unnecessary frustrations. To craft this great outfit, players will need x1 Perfect Ram Hide, 1x Perfect Pronghorn Hide, x1 Perfect Collared Peccary Pig Pelt, x1 Perfect Snake Skin, and they’ll need another set of the last two elements to make the Iguana Range Gloves.
23The Marauder
Hunting is quite an engagingRed Dead Redemption 2activity. This makesgrinding for outfits like the Maraudereasier, since hunting almost feels like a meditative act once players know the best method possible to find and take down their prey.
Players will need to hunt down four rabbits, a muskrat, a cow, a deer, a bull, a boar, and a snake in a perfect manner to skin them for their valuable resources and unlock one ofRDR2’s best outfits. It seems like a lot of work, but all of these animals can be encountered organically in the open world and downed easily with a recommended weapon. Moreover, if players have engaged in enough hunting to have leftover pelts, they can also use them to make money and not just to craft this outfit. So, in any case, hunting is always convenient.
22The Wrangler
A good hunt inRed Dead Redemption 2goes a long way in helping Arthur stock up on cash and acquire good-looking outfits that he can show off during gameplay and in cutscenes. The Wrangler is one ofRDR2’s best outfitsthat can be acquired by diligent hunters who make it a point to execute the perfect hunt.
Players need to execute the perfect hunt and get pelts from a buck, goat, moose, panther, pronghorn, and sheep. This can take a while and may seem like an annoying task for those who haven’t spent too much time interacting withthe hunting mechanics of the game, but the end result makes the grind worthwhile.
21The Death Roll
There are many legendary animals that Arthur can hunt inRed Dead Redemption 2to skin them for their valuable pelts. The trapper will purchase said pelts for a high fee, giving Arthur more dollars to burn through during his adventures in the Wild West. Not only that, but players can purchase special outfits once they’ve hunted certain legendary animals, too.
Once players manage to hunt down the Legendary Alligator and Legendary Panther, they’ll have the opportunity to get their hands on The Death Roll outfit. It’s great when a video game recognizes a player’s hard work, and with this outfit, gamers are free to flaunt their accomplishment. It should also be noted that players will also have to hunt down a snake and a Gila monster to get the outfit’s hat and the range gloves. And while this might seem inconvenient, hunting down these last two animals will be a breeze compared to their two legendary counterparts.
The full list of components needed to craft The Death Roll are:
Some of these animals are extremely dangerous, so players must tread carefully in their quest to unlock this outfit.
20The Huntsman
Two more legendary animals that players can hunt down are the Legendary Coyote and the Legendary Pronghorn. Unlike most other legendary predators that pose significant problems to the player, these two animals are relatively simpler to kill, but gamers shouldn’t let their guard down regardless. It still takes a bit of effort for players to skin their hides and sell them to the trapper.
Doing so unlocks the Huntsman outfit, which looks pretty great barring a hat that is in poor taste. Still, that’s a small negative for what is otherwise a pretty cool-looking set that players can wear to show off the fruits of their labor. In addition to hunting the Legendary Coyote and the Legendary Pronghorn, players will also have to get: x1 Perfect Moose Pelt, x2 Perfect Fox Pelts, x1 Perfect Goat Hide, and x1 Perfect Muskrat pelt, making great hunting skills extremely important to this outfit.
19The Stalker
When it comes to legendary herbivorous animals who generally run away from conflict, it’s important for players to be as sneaky as possible to ensure that their target doesn’t get the chance to escape. This is what makes hunting down the Legendary Moose and Legendary Ram quite challenging, with playershaving to sneak aroundquite a bit to even get a chance at killing these two skittish animals.
The reward for selling both their pelts to the trapper is the Stalker outfit, which many people consider to be one of the best-looking outfits in the game. Players who want to boast about their hunting exploits will love wearing this set and seeing it come to life during themany amazing cinematicsthatRed Dead Redemption 2has to offer. In addition to these Legendary animals mentioned beforehand, players will also have to hunt down a boar, a wolf and a cow to complete the outfit.
18Brawler’s Outfit
Unlocked After Completing The “Eastward Bound” Mission
There are many outfits that Arthur can wear during his adventures inRed Dead Redemption 2, and all of them are pretty stylish in their own way. However, after a while, some people wouldn’t mind if this dashing protagonist wore something normal and unremarkable for a change.
Such is the case with the Brawler’s Outfit, which is perfect for Arthur if players want him to cosplay as a run-of-the-mill ruffian.Picking fights while wearing this outfitis rather fitting, as the name would suggest. It’s a very different garb from Arthur’s usual choice of clothing, so it might not be for everyone.
