Discover how to unlock every costume for Leon and Ashley in Resident Evil 4 Remake, including the powerful Armor costume for Ashley.
Alright, so you're looking to spice up Leon and Ashley's outfits in Resident Evil 4 Remake? Unless you grabbed the Deluxe Edition, you'll need to earn these. The good news is that most of them are pretty straightforward to get – just beat the game!
The table below breaks down exactly what you need to do. Keep in mind that the DLC costumes are only available if you purchased them separately; there's no way to unlock them through gameplay.
| Costume | Unlock Condition | CP |
| Jacket (Leon) | Complete the game on any difficulty | 500 |
| Shirt (Leon) | Complete the game on any difficulty | 500 |
| Pinstripe (Leon) | Complete the game on any difficulty | 2000 |
| Casual (Leon) | DLC | – |
| Romantic (Leon) | DLC | – |
| Hero (Leon) | DLC | – |
| Jacket (Ashley) | Complete the game on any difficulty | 500 |
| Jacketless (Ashley) | Complete the game on any difficulty | 500 |
| Armor (Ashley) | Complete Hardcore with an A Rank | 2000 |
| Casual (Ashley) | DLC | – |
| Romantic (Ashley) | DLC | – |
| Hero (Ashley) | DLC | – |
Once you've unlocked a costume, you'll need to head to the Extra Contents Shop to purchase it using your hard-earned CP (Combat Points). After that, you can change outfits anytime from the main menu. It's purely cosmetic for most characters, but Ashley's Armor costume is a whole different ballgame.
Ashley's Armor Costume: The Real Game-Changer
This one's a bit tougher: you need to beat the game on Hardcore difficulty with at least an A Rank. If you're aiming for all the trophies or achievements, this is a must-have.
Why? Because Ashley's Armor costume makes her completely invincible! Enemies can't damage her, and they can't grab her to run off with her, which is a lifesaver in certain sections like the Water Room puzzle in the Castle. The best part? This bonus doesn't mess with other challenges, so you can still go for those no-bonus-weapon runs with Ashley being totally safe.
Seriously, if you're planning on tackling Professional mode, get this costume unlocked. Not having to worry about Ashley getting snatched or hurt in intense firefights is a massive relief and can genuinely save your run.
To get it, your best bet is probably a New Game Plus on Hardcore, especially if you've got powerful bonus weapons like the Primal Knife or Special Rocket Launcher to help you out. Good luck!
