If you’re really dissatisfied with how you look, try the salons and stores of Saint Denis or Blackwater to make sure that you can’t redefine yourself into something better.

Haircuts, facial hair, hats, clothes, masks, dentistry and more can all serve to vastly change a character’s appearance without having to pay the Gold Bars necessary to get into the character creation engine. Of course, you still have a lot of power to alter your character outside of the change appearance option. Red Dead Online allows players to customize their characters much more than Red Dead Redemption 2, and 2021 was rich with great results. Unfortunately, if neither of these is happening, you’ll have to pay the gold if it’s your third time or more in character creation. After that, any alterations will cost you ten Gold Bars, so make sure that you’re happy with the changes you made the first time! There’s no way to reduce the price normally, but Rockstar have occasionally released discounts or given out free appearance changes according to events or Season Passes. To change appearance in Red Dead Online is itself free… for the first time.
