Kit Items
There are 24 special "Kit Items" you can acquire in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, including maps, ammo and other useful goodies.
Kit items are typically special items you'll acquire in game which provide benefits or allow you to craft ammunition. Once acquired, they're permanent and can be viewed and used from the Kit section of the satchel.
