Pre-Order Red Dead Redemption with GameStop to Get the Deadly Assassin Outfit

Posted March 5, 2010 at 12:05pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

The people have spoken - and the Deadly Assassin has won the Rockstar Games and Gamestop Red Dead Referendum by a landslide - beating out The Savvy Merchant and The Expert Hunter to be the top vote-getting outfit and officially making it the exclusive Gamestop pre-order bonus for Red Dead Redemption.

The Deadly Assassin Outfit causes your Dead Eye meter to regenerate at twice the speed. With more Dead Eye, you have more time to place each shot with total accuracy, making you the deadliest gunslinger in any fight. Watch the video above to see the Deadly Assassin in action and visit www.gamestop.com/reddead or read on below to get more info on the outfit and its special gameplay advantages.

People that pre-order from Gamestop will be able to unlock the Deadly Assassin outfit via the following in-game challenges:


Win a duel in Armadillo
Travel to the town of Armadillo, and accept any challenge to fight a duel. Just make sure to win.


Capture or kill Mo Van Barr
While in Armadillo, find the wanted poster for Mo Van Barr, accept the Bounty Hunting mission, and bring this notorious member of the Walton Gang to justice, dead or alive.


Solve the mystery of the missing townsfolk
People have been disappearing for weeks from the outskirts of Armadillo. Track down the clues, solve the mystery and live to tell the tale.


Search Coot's Chapel
Find the ruins of Coot's Chapel in the wilds of Cholla Springs, and search for treasure.


Complete the Twin Rocks hideout
Find the legendary criminal hideout of Twin Rocks, located North of the town of Armadillo to complete this final challenge.

Of course, our friends in the UK can also get the Deadly Assassin by pre-ordering through Game.  For a roundup of pre-order deals available across the US and UK, check out www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption/preorder.

I love RDR, but I do have 1 complaint. I don't think it's fair to the rest of us that the Deadly Assassin's outfit is available to only those that pre-ordered the game. Those of us that can't get the outfit have no way of defending ourselves against those that do have it. It just isn't right. If anything, make it available via more work.. double the work if you have to. At least, that way, we will be able to defend ourselves against those that have the outfit. Other than that, thank you for another great game!

I got the Limited Edition and couldn't wait for the extra dlc but the MO VAN BARR challenge is bugged. I dont seem to be having the same problem as everyone else where he doesn't appear in armadillo, I can accept the bounty just fine. Its when I actually capture or kill him and complete the bounty it doesn't tick off the challenge for the deadly assassin outfit. So basically I can do the bounty but it doesn't complete the outfit. I payed good money just like everyone else for this dlc and I expect it to work. ROCKSTAR instead of only taking note of your site problems howabouyt give a word to the people with the GAME problems? Help/support and customer service is diabloical.

I have this version of the Special Edition, and the outfit has never worked. It tells me with a message in game I've unlocked it, it tells me on the Downloadable Content screen I have it installed, and the outfit requirements page has never showed up. It isn't that Van Barr isn't there, the outfit literally does not appear in my outfit list. I've cleared my cache, I've restarted my game, I've done everything suggested, and nothing has worked. Yay for exclusive content, boo for paying for exclusive content and never being able to use it.

YO ROCKSTAR
First off Great game. Looks good feels good and muey muey fun. Really only one beef, well two kinda, but one you can help with. The Deadly assassin outfit. Mo Vann Barr bounty wont appear for me im too far into the game to restart and read on other random forums that other ppl are having the same prob. I tried a kind of hot fix posted by what was claimed to be one of your employees on a forum that involved making a new save playin up to the point of the lasso then killing the walton gang guy for the marshel not capturing him then reloading my original save. It was a no go mo vann bar popped on the new save but not the one i had played into a ways. PLEASE RELEASE some kinda update to fix this it you know you can do it and Im sure are looking into it..
Oh yea WTF ppl you shoulda voted for the hunter outfit. and rockstar how come no warhorse and guns for us violence loving Americans. Keep up the good work Rockstar

Cartman28279March 15, 2010 at 10:04pm

Wow I really like the side missions for unlocking the Deadly Assassin Outfit. I like working for my prizes! Makes them all the much better when you get them :)
Mog4deathMarch 10, 2010 at 12:06pm
Question- are there in game chalenges to unlock the golden gun and warhorse, and can you lose them or store the like puting the horse in a stable and the gun in your luggage for example, because teir is not point getting the golden gun for example if you have to replace it for a mission and lose it because of this plus i would like the option to use the extras or not without losing them.
jackfischer102March 8, 2010 at 9:50pm
i think the challenges look cooler than the outfit
GeorgeOscarBluthMarch 8, 2010 at 12:48pm
my person who i voted for didn't win but i guess thats ok i like this one and ill be assassinating everyone lol
Adigta4March 8, 2010 at 12:32pm

@ Jojo_Jojovich

How about releasing the Special Edition in the US? I'd pay more to get the one that has the outfit, the horse, and the guns. Why haven't you announced this for the US yet, and only for Europe? What gives?!
Hemisrt6.1March 6, 2010 at 6:44pm
Will gamestop pre-order come with a code to put in and then complete the challenges to unlock the outfit?
kobrak1ngMarch 6, 2010 at 4:57pm
10/10 AWESOME R*!

Looking forward to the `inventions` article. The aeroplane was invented around the time of RDR, I hope we`ll something like the Bleriot Monoplane, which Texan LL "Shorty" Walker replicated and flew over the state in Sep 1910

I had some more trouble posting yesterday, wonder if it`s something to do with the date of birth fields on the official site now that comments can be posted there too. I get a message saying `required fields not entered`
