How to get the Legend of the East outfit in Red Dead Redemption 2
Complete all RDR2 challenges and get a brand new outfit.
Want 100% completion in Red Dead Redemption 2? Then you'll want to make a start on the game's many challenges.
There are 90 challenges available in Red Dead Redemption 2, split into nine categories. If you complete all ten challenges in any of the categories you'll gain better attributes, money and, best of all, reinforced equipment you can acquire from the Trapper.
As an added incentive, you'll also unlock the Legend of the East outfit if you complete every single challenge in RDR2. Here's all the outfit and clothes rewards available to you when you complete challenges in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Outfits and Clothes explained
In order to receive reinforced gear from the Trapper in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must complete the first, third, seventh and tenth challenges in each category. This will help you unlock the best gear and outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Having a full set of gear will unlock additional bonuses to your stats, such as increased health, more ammo capacity or a reduced weapon degradation rate.
Attributes can also be improved by completing challenges. Once you've collected a complete set of gear, you get a permanent bonus tank to your main attribute bars. Complete all the sets and you'll get a second bonus tank linked to that attribute.
Health, Dead Eye and Stamina are each tied to three categories of challenge:
- Health: Horseman, Sharpshooter and Weapons Expert
- Stamina: Bandit, Gambler and Master Hunter
- Dead-Eye: Explorer, Herbalist and Survivalist
Once you've collected a complete set of gear, you can add two permanent bonus tanks to your main attribute bars.
After you've completed every challenge you'll unlock the Legend of the East outfit, which comes with a tonne of bonuses, but before you can get your hands on it, you'll need to work your way through all of these challenges.
Red Dead Redemption 2 challenges
Most of the challenges in Red Dead Redemption 2 are fairly straightforward, and almost act as tutorials for all the things you can do in Rockstar's version of the Wild West, such as picking herbs or finding a treasure map.
You must complete the challenges in order, so complete the first task to unlock the second, then the second to unlock the third and so on.
You can attempt these challenges at any time throughout Red Dead Redemption 2. It would be wise to start working on them early in the game to minimize the grind later on as you'll need to finish them all if you want to reach 100% completion.
A lot of these challenges involve hunting, so it would be a good idea to check out our hunting guide on where to find legendary animals and how to make the perfect pelts.
