Accessing Cosmetics, Outfits, and Face Paints
DLC cosmetics from pre-order, Deluxe, and Ultimate editions appear immediately and can be equipped on any body type.
Step-by-Step:
- At Game Start: During character creation, go to the Outfits, Accessories, or Paint tabs. Scroll to the bottom of the lists to find DLC items like Forma Face Paint (left/right/both eyes), Lavish Kimono, Mad Swordsman cloak, Cyber Ninja hood/mask, or Code Vein legacy costumes.
- Post-Creation: Fast travel to MagMell (your home base). Head to the hot springs changing room. Interact with the dressers to open Adjust Appearance (same as character creator). Equip DLC options here anytime.
Forma Face Paint adds intricate forma designs to your eyes for a fierce look.
Obtaining DLC Weapons
Weapons like Twin Fangs of the Lone Wolf (pre-order), Ame-no-Habakiri Greatsword (Deluxe), and others are not free drops. They cost a small amount of in-game currency.
Step-by-Step:
- Reach MagMell: Complete the prologue tutorial with Noah. You'll arrive at the MagMell mansion hub automatically (early game, ~15-30 minutes in).
- Locate Jadwiga: She's the weapon vendor in her workshop. From the mansion entrance, it's the closest room on the right (marked on your map).
- Purchase: Each DLC weapon costs 10 Haze. Select and buy (e.g., Twin Fangs for agile bleed attacks with lunging slices).
Farming Haze Quickly:
- Exit MagMell and defeat nearby Revenants or Raiders. Each drops 1-5 Haze. You'll have plenty after a few fights.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- Bonuses Missing? Verify DLC ownership in your platform's library (PS Store/Steam/Xbox). Restart the game, reload your save, or start a new game to check character creation. Link the correct account if physical copy.
- Upgrading Editions: Buy Deluxe/Ultimate Upgrade Packs from stores for missing content.
- Mask of Idris: Auto-downloads when released; no manual access needed yet.
