Red Dead Redemption 2: 26 Mods That Make It A Completely Different Game
Already seen everything Red Dead Redemption 2 has to offer? Then try out these mods!
It is worth noting that the game features over one hundred clothing items, but only complete attires can be considered outfits. Finding out what the best outfit in RDR2 is can become frustrating, as many of them are unlocked only after completing specific missions or side quests, while some are found only in specific places. However, despite their large numbers and their various looks, some of the best RDR2 outfits have become fan favorites in the eyes of many.
Updated on March 11, 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.

The Nuevo Paraíso Gunslinger Outfit
A Special Outfit Reserved For Those Who Purchased The Special Or Ultimate Edition Of The Game
- Cost: N/A
- Temperature Considerations: For hot temperatures
The Nuevo Paraíso Gunslinger Outfit is 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.
26
The Deauville
An Elegant Outfit For Those Into Fashion
- Cost: $115.00
- Temperature Considerations: For hot temperatures
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 to The Deauville outfit, 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.
25
The Dolton
A Neat-looking Outfit With Leather Suspenders
- Cost: $61.75
- Temperature Considerations: For hot temperatures
The Dolton is 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.
24
The Rattler
Purchased From The Trapper
- Cost: $77.00
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in average weather
The trapper in Red Dead Redemption 2 is 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 the best RDR2 outfits, 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 reach the 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.
23
The Marauder
Purchased From The Trapper
- Cost: $77.00
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in cold weather
Hunting is quite an engaging Red Dead Redemption 2 activity. This makes grinding for outfits like the Marauder easier, 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 of RDR2‘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.
22
The Wrangler
Purchased From The Trapper
- Cost: $108.00
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in average weather
A good hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 goes 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 of RDR2‘s best outfits that can be acquired by diligent hunters who make it a point to execute the perfect hunt.

10 Creepy Encounters Found In Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 may not be regarded by many fans as a horror game, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some horror elements.
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 with the hunting mechanics of the game, but the end result makes the grind worthwhile.
21
The Death Roll
Purchased From The Trapper
- Cost: $167.00
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in cold weather
There are many legendary animals that Arthur can hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 to 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:
- x1 Legendary Alligator Skin
- x1 Perfect Snake Skin
- x1 Legendary Panther Pelt
- x2 Perfect Gila Monster Skin
Some of these animals are extremely dangerous, so players must tread carefully in their quest to unlock this outfit.
20
The Huntsman
Purchased From The Trapper
- Cost: $123.00
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in cold weather
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.
19
The Stalker
Purchased From The Trapper
- Cost: $108.00
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in cold weather
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 players having to sneak around quite a bit to even get a chance at killing these two skittish animals.

Brawler’s Outfit
Unlocked After Completing The “Eastward Bound” Mission
- Cost: N/A
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot weather
There are many outfits that Arthur can wear during his adventures in Red 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 outfit is 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.
17
The Ruffian
Unlocked After Completing The “Eastward Bound” Mission
- Cost: N/A
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot weather
Arthur Morgan is a man who can be honorable if the player makes him carry out noble tasks instead of being a scoundrel, but he’ll always be a criminal in the eyes of the law. Nothing can change that, so players likely won’t mind looking the part in an outfit that makes Arthur seem rugged and world-weary at the same time.
The simple yellow vest complements this ensemble perfectly, making Arthur stand out without looking too conspicuous. It’s a great garb that players can try out if they’ve already exhausted the many other looks that Arthur can flaunt in the game.
16
The Rebel
Unlocked After Completing The “Eastward Bound” Mission
- Cost: N/A
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in average weather
Most of the more notable outfits that Arthur wears in Red Dead Redemption 2 feature a coat that makes the protagonist look larger than life. This makes it easy to see why the Rebel outfit that players can unlock is so appealing.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Estimated Ages Of The Van Der Linde Gang Members
Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn’t reveal many of the Van der Linde gang members’ exact ages, but various in-game clues lead us to some solid assumptions.
The only negative about this outfit is the fact that it’s only suitable in pleasant weather, which means that players will have to change Arthur’s garb in hot or cold climates if they don’t want him to slowly waste away after failing to bear the pressure of these extreme elements. Thankfully, extreme temperatures only rear their head in a few select locations, which means that players shouldn’t face too many issues while exploring the world in this outfit as long as they know what the weather is going to be like.
15
The Legend Of The East
Unlocked By Completing All Challenges
- Cost: N/A
- Temperature Considerations: None
Undoubtedly, the Legend of the East outfit stands out as the most fashionable and desirable set of clothing in Red Dead Redemption 2. Its superiority stems from the fact that it can be worn in all types of weather without any negative effects, and it is obtained by completing every single challenge in the game.
However, the outfit’s drawback is that it can only be worn by John Marston, the game’s second protagonist. Nevertheless, for players who wish to wear it with other characters, cheats are available to circumvent this restriction.
14
The Gunslinger
Unlocked After Completing The “Eastward Bound” Mission
- Cost: N/A
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot or average weather
The default outfit is a solid choice for players who prefer a classic look for their character. Designed as Arthur Morgan’s regular choice of clothing, this outfit is available from the start of the game and comes in two variations: Summer Gunslinger and Winter Gunslinger.
The lack of any extra frills or accessories makes it a simple yet stylish option that can be worn in any weather condition. It is also a cost-effective choice as it doesn’t require any in-game purchases or completion of challenges. Last but not least, it’s the look that’s synonymous with Arthur’s character, making it a great outfit choice for players who want to see Arthur look his very best in every situation.
13
The Summer Gunslinger
Unlocked After Completing The “Eastward Bound” Mission
- Cost: N/A
- Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot weather
The Summer Gunslinger features a blue long-sleeved shirt with rolled sleeves and suspenders. The outfit also includes a black neckerchief and a wide-brimmed washed-out hat, and the stained pants are tucked into tall black boots.
