This Red Dead Redemption 2 mod gives John Marston a classic outfit from the first game, complete with a wolf belt buckle, vest and pants.
It’s funny to think that before Red Dead Redemption 2’s release, fans of the first game were upset that they were manipulating Arthur Morgan instead of John Marston. By the time players finally got to play as Jon in the sequel, it was a bittersweet feeling considering how attached we all are to Arthur. It was made worse by the fact that it didn’t look like it should have.
As outlined in this video from Codez’s YouTuber Lab, John’s model in the epilogue has details that make him look nothing like himself, such as the way he buckles his belt, the color of his hair, and how he does it. There are many. his clothes suit him. This has led some players to start petitioning Rockstar to tweak his appearance to resemble the John we know and love from the first game. .
Take NexusMods modder GuiCORLEONEx794, for example, he’s tweaking Red Dead Redemption 2’s cowboy outfit to bring it closer to the state of the first game. The cowboy outfit itself is already included in Red Dead Redemption 2, but this mod tweaks it significantly to make it look like it should.
According to GuiCORELEONEx794, this mod has better hat textures that are more accurate and higher quality for Red Dead Redemption 1, and features the same vest, shirt, boots, spurs and neckerchief as the first game, and John Marston’s NPC version also wears the cowboy outfit starting in Chapter 3, but wears less than the game’s epilogue, which is a nice touch.
Funny enough, this mod was actually originally created in 2021.It was recently updated by modders Gui and SgtJoe. Add scripts to belts and improve the textures of hats, pants, shirts, and other outfits. If you’re wondering how much Jon’s wrong costume is bothering people, it’s proof enough that he’s still working on mods two years later.
