Cosmetics are a form of virtual currency that can be used to change the appearance of your character in Aliens: Fireteam Elite. They can also be used to unlock cosmetic items for your character, such as outfits and weapons.
You may design your own character when you first start Aliens: Fireteam Elite. But what if you later decide you want to alter your appearance? Fortunately, the developers at Cold Iron Studios considered this and included the feature directly into your Loadout menu.
Pause the game -> go to “Loadout” -> choose one of the two choices above “Change Base Appearance” to change outfit cosmetics. You’ll be able to change your clothes or add new hats/helmets/etc. here. For Rep Scrip, you may purchase any of these from the Armory, Park’s Special Stock.
Pause the game -> go to “Loadout” -> click “Alter Basic Look” at the bottom of the “Appearance” section to the right of “Consumables” to change your base appearance.
You’ll be brought to the character creation menu after clicking that option (seen in the header image for this article). There are 10 face presets, seven skin tones, seven eye colors, 16 haircuts, eight facial hairstyles, 18 hair colors, and six voices to select from.
After you’ve finished tweaking, click “Save Changes.” Though it should be self-evident, you can only do this while on the UAS Endeavor and not during a mission.
It’s worth mentioning that storing your basic appearance seems to be broken. Even if you choose to “Preserve Changes” in the Change Appearance menu, hitting B, Circle, or Spacebar to exit the menu may not save your work. If this happens, press: to leave the menu.
- On the Dualshock 4/DualSense, there are a variety of options.
- An Xbox Controller’s menu
- On the keyboard, press ESC.
Even if you do this, your progress may be lost if you leave the game. The same is true when it comes to changing out cosmetics. There are two methods to ensure that your progress is preserved, and you can learn more about them in our saving guide.
That’s all there is to it when it comes to altering your look and cosmetics in Aliens: Fireteam Elite. If you need assistance locating information, secret caches, or anything else, check out our other tutorials.
