Optional costumes are nothing new in video games. Unlockable outfits have been a part of the gaming experience for almost as long as the concept of unlockables. So far, the Resident Evil remakes have been killing it with their special outfits, and Resident Evil 4 Remake continues this trend.
As you play through the game, Leon S. Kennedy and Ashley Graham go through several costume changes. You can make these alternate outfits permanent if you want, but you have to purchase their requisite skins first. Resident Evil 4 Remake also includes some more special costumes players can switch out for Leon’s and Ashley’s normal duds, in addition to accessories that change things up (and we don’t just mean in terms of Leon’s style).
Here are all of the costumes you can obtain in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Resident Evil 4 Remake: How to Unlock Every Leon Costume
Jacket
Leon starts his adventure wearing a jacket, but he loses it partway through the game. If you want him to keep his jacket for the entire journey, you can purchase this costume in the Extra Content Shop for 500CP after finishing the main story.
Jacketless
The flipside of Leon’s Jacket costume, Jacketless is just Leon without said jacket. As previously stated, Leon eventually loses his jacket during the campaign, but if you’d rather start the story without one, you can purchase this outfit in the Extra Content Shop for 500CP after finishing the main story.
Pinstripe
It’s not easy pulling off the 1920s gangster look, but Leon does so with style. And if you pair this costume with the Chicago Sweeper weapon after unlocking its infinite ammo drum, Leon will pull off his best Michael Jackson impression when trying to reload it. This costume will run you 2,000CP in the Extra Content Shop, but you have to finish the main story before you can buy it.
Resident Evil 4 Remake: How to Unlock Every Ashley Costume
Jacket
As with Leon, Ashley first appears with a jacket, but she eventually loses it. If you want her to keep the jacket throughout the game, you can purchase this costume for 500CP after finishing the main story.
Jacketless
Ashley eventually loses her jacket (like bodyguard, like damsel in distress). If you would rather she never wear one in the first place, you should buy this outfit for 500CP after completing the main story.
Suit of Armor
While most outfits in Resident Evil 4 Remake are merely cosmetic, the Suit of Armor is fashionable and functional. Well, it might not be the height of fashion, but it still makes Ahley immune to all attacks and impossible to kidnap, which makes the escort missions infinitely easier. To acquire this Easy Mode cheat, you have to complete the game on Hardcore with an A rank, then buy the armor in the Extra Content Shop for 2,000CP.
Resident Evil 4 Remake: How to Unlock Every Cosmetic Accessory
