The Nuevo Paraiso gunslinger outfit, Blackrose Bounty hunter outfit, and the Copperhead Enforcer outfit can all be found in the Outfit tab of the Wardrobe.

With that said, if you don’t like having the bonuses active, you can change them under the General settings menu. These buffs can be toggled on and off as you want from this menu.
