But which suits are the best to obtain in Red Dead Redemption 2? Here is a guide to the best outfits and what they do in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Spoiler warning for Red Dead Redemption 2 ahead.
The Gunslinger
Morgan’s default outfit in the game is also one of his best attire. Since this is the character’s original appearance at the start of the game, the player will not need to fulfill any requirements to obtain it. It also comes with two different variations for the summer and winter.
For the default Gunslinger outfit, it is best worn during hot and average weather seasons. The summer and winter versions are best suited for their titular seasons. No matter the season, the Gunslinger is the suit that best represents Morgan’s character.
The Bear Hunter
The Bear Hunter is one of the most unique outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2, and one of the more costly to collect. Players can collect this outfit at the Saint-Denis Trapper after possessing the following collectibles: three legendary bear pelts, a perfect bison pelt, a perfect bull hide, a perfect boar pelt, and two perfect rabbit pelts.
This outfit will be made up of different parts and collecting the right animal pelts will help players craft the different components that make up the suit at the Saint-Denis Trapper. One of the parts, the legendary bear pelt, can be acquired during a story mission with Hosea where players will hunt the Legendary Bear. What makes the suit great to wear is the fact that players will get to wear a bear for a hat and the outfit is not limited to one or two seasons.
The Saint-Denis
The Saint-Denis is one of the game’s more fashionable attire that helps Morgan blend in with the locals of Saint-Denis. This outfit can be acquired from the Saint-Denis Tailor for a little over $98. It can be worn during average and hot weather.
Thanks to the outfit, Morgan can appear as a Saint-Denis local; he can blend in with the crowds of the city and not worry about people looking at him for his cowboy attire. It gives him a break from wearing his cowboy attire and something cleaner to wear without alarming anyone to his outlaw nature.
The Faulkton
Available to purchase at the Strawberry General Store, the Faulkton outfit lets Morgan sport a long overcoat that can be worn during average and hot weather. It definitely does not hurt Morgan to wear something long and fashionable. Costing around $84, it is also one of the cheapest attire to acquire in-game.
Additionally, players will not need to worry about their honor rating to obtain this outfit. This outfit will be readily available for the taking when players decide to purchase it. So there is no need to worry about prerequisites in collecting this costume.
The Beast of Prey
Like the Bear Hunter, the Beast of Prey is one of the more expensive and time-consuming outfits to obtain. It’s available from the Saint-Denis Trapper after players collect the following to create the suit’s various components: three legendary cougar pelts, two turkey feathers, two legendary wolf pelts, one perfect goat hide, two perfect boar pelts, and two perfect bull hides.
The Beast of Prey is made up of different parts that can be crafted with the mentioned collectibles at the Saint-Denis Trapper. This outfit can be worn in any climate but is more beneficial to wear thanks to the aesthetic it gives off. It portrays Morgan as a cowboy not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Legend of the East
The Legend of the East outfit is Red Dead Redemption 2‘s most valuable. Players can acquire this outfit after completing all the game’s numerous challenges. Unlike the other outfits on this list, this legendary attire comes with numerous stat bonuses for Morgan, including decreased melee damage from enemies and increased money obtained from looting.
Aside from gameplay perks, the outfit is also very fashionable. Morgan will sport a nice coat and pants when wearing this outfit. But players can only acquire the Legend of the East if and only if they accomplish all the game’s challenges.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
