If there's one developer that never seems to miss when it comes to creating transcendent video games that captivate millions of players worldwide, it's Rockstar Games. Ever since the first GTA came out more than two decades ago, it's hard to find one of this studio's releases that doesn't deliver on the hype it creates.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Horse Tier List
Red Dead Redemption 2 has almost 20 different horse breeds, and while all of them can be useful mounts, some are certainly better than others.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of Rockstar's best games in their long history, as the story is very rich, the main and side quests always feel fun, the world design is superb—not to mention that almost every member of the Van der Linde gang is likable, and the voice acting is stellar. Throughout the game's story, Arthur can collect a series of outfits that, besides looking great, serve specific purposes. However, some outfits, due to their requirements and rarity, are tough to obtain.
5 Legend Of The East Outfit
A Fair Reward For Completing Single-player Challenges
- Suitable for all temperatures
- Reward for completing all single-player challenges
It's undeniable that as far as games that deserve 100% completion go, Red Dead Redemption 2 is among the top spots on the list. It's estimated that, to fully complete the game, players will need about 48 hours, and it's likely that a good part of that time will be specifically spent on single-player challenges. Sometimes, said challenges aren't too hard, but a few are, and if players want the Legend of the East outfit, they'll have to put some elbow grease into Rockstar's western masterpiece.
There's a total of 90 challenges that players must complete in order to get this outfit, which makes it one of the easiest to miss in the game, either due to lack of patience, or lack of knowledge. Other than looking great, this attire doesn't really do much else. However, the utmost sense of achievement from obtaining it is well worth the effort required to do so.
4 Nuevo Paraiso Gunslinger Outfit
Only Available To Some Players
- Suitable for hot temperatures
- Exclusive to Special & Ultimate Editions of the game
In all honesty, unless players are huge fans of a franchise, buying the Special or Ultimate Edition of a game is rarely worth the extra money. A few years ago, when almost every Ultimate Edition contained physical collectables, it was easier to justify splurging a little bit of extra money, but these days, it's hard to make this decision without a bit of remorse.

When it comes to Red Dead Redemption 2's Special & Ultimate Edition, players can expect to get a wide variety of weapons, outfits, and other bonus content, including the Nuevo Paraiso Gunslinger Outfit. This outfit is exclusive to said editions of the game, so it can be easily missed simply by purchasing the Standard version instead. Overall, the outfit's black tones look great on Arthur, giving him that Western villain look everyone wants— a great match if players' honor is low, and they want to look intimidating while playing through every chapter of the game.
3 The Death Roll Outfit
Reserved For The Brave
- Expensive, as it costs $167.00
- Players beware, as the required pelts come from deadly animals
Hunting dangerous prey is one of the most exciting, yet spine-chilling activities in Red Dead Redemption 2. Whether players are stalking a massive crocodile in the middle of a swamp outside of Saint Denis, or using snow to camouflage themselves while preparing to get a legendary bear pelt, it's undeniable that the chase is thrilling.
While hunting rabbits and other unsuspecting herbivores can sometimes be fun and fill Arthur's wallet, the real reward lies with the most deadly animals in the land. To get The Death Roll outfit, players will have to collect:
- 3 Legendary Alligator Skins
- 2 Legendary Panther Pelts
- 2 Perfect Snake Skins
- 1 Perfect Gila Monster Skin
This is easier said than done, as every animal these pelts can be obtained from is ready to kill. That said, the outfit looks amazing. In fact, it's one of those attires that would compliment any character.
2 The Ghost Bison Outfit
Ideal For Cold Weather
- Suitable for cold temperatures
- Costs a whopping $133.00
As far as hard-to-obtain outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2 go, The Ghost Bison is probably at the bottom of the list, as it has few requirements and half of the pelts needed to craft it come from animals that cross Arthur's path very often. That said, this outfit has a high price, as it costs $133.00—mere pennies to players who are already in the last chapters of the game, but a fortune to those who are just getting started.
Red Dead Redemption 2: The Most Powerful Weapons, Ranked
Players won't last long in Red Dead Redemption 2's wild frontier without some adequate firepower. Here are the game's most powerful weapons.
To get The Ghost Bison outfit, players will have to be very patient and hunt down:
- 3 Legendary Elk Pelts
- 2 Legendary White Bison Pelts
- 1 Perfect Goat Hide

With enough care and experience, it's relatively easy to hunt down most of these animals and collect their pelts undamaged. This outfit works well for camouflage in the snow and has a strange, yet interesting look about it that most players will certainly love.
1 The Huntsman Outfit
Made For The Ultimate Hunter
- Sold by the trapper for $123.00
- Requires 8 different types of pelts
While some players hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 for fun, money, and a few outfits, others take the activity to the next level, perfecting their craft and becoming the ultimate predator. Such players can get access to many different outfits as they hunt and skin various animals throughout the land, and The Huntsman outfit is one of them.
To craft this outfit, players will need:
- 2 Legendary Coyote Pelts
- 2 Legendary Pronghorn Pelts
- 1 Perfect Cow Hide
- 2 Perfect Fox Pelts
- 1 Perfect Goat Hide
