How to unlock Leon Must Die skins in Re9
Unlocking Leon Must Die skins for everyone's favorite RE9 protagonist allows you to enter Wolf Mode or gain a deadly glare
It might not be Cat Leon, but one of the Leon Must Die Forever skins in Resident Evil 9's minigame turns the horror hunk into a wolf - complete with a cute, fluffy tail - so you might be wondering how to unlock this furry favorite.
This Resident Evil Requiem minigame takes on a roguelike format, as you defeat enemies in different 'rooms', moving between areas via glowing red doors, before finally beating Victor at the end - all, hopefully, before your timer hits zero. With the Leon Must Die Forever skins below, you can then restart again with a new challenge, thanks to varying starting equipment - and a new look to boot. Here's how to unlock them all.
How to unlock the Leon Must Die Forever wolf skin
To unlock the Leon Must Die Forever Wolf Mode skin, you just need to complete the minigame once - AKA Rank 1. From here, head into the Special Content section from the LMDF main menu, where you'll be able to equip your new costume.
Leon's wolf skin starts you off with a powerful SMG, the Stiri REVO3 SA1, as well as your usual hatchet, making the next Rank that much easier to complete. You'll also start with Surveyor, one of the many Leon Must Die Forever enhancements.
How to get the Leon Wolf skin with different effects
Leon Must Die skins aren't just to look pretty, they also grant special starting gear for an easier time or an increased challenge. However, if you don't want flashing lights on your head (see below), you can equip one skin but still have Leon look like a wolf by unlocking the Accessory Appearance upgrade.
Unlock this by completing Leon Must Die Forever in Forever mode, Rank 4. Then you can equip any of the other costumes for their effect and press the left and right buttons on your controller to scroll through all unlocked skins in-game - including cat, I mean wolf, Leon.
Other Leon Must Die Forever skins
Aside from the obvious choice, there are three other Leon Skins in Leon Must Die Forever. They're a bit daft, but they do have unique effects that you might want to consider.
- Turbo GT - Turbo GT headgear
- Start with the MSBG 500 and a hatchet
- Start with the Strategist enhancement
- Complete LMDF on Forever - Rank 2
- Hot Fuzz - Flashing light headgear
- Start with a Classic 70 and a hatchet
- Start with the Big-game Hunter enhancement
- Complete LMDF on Forever - Rank 3
- Axe-orcist - Glowing red eyes
- Start with just a Hatchet
- Start with the Maverick enhancement
- Complete LMDF on Forever - Rank 5
Again, once you've unlocked the Accessory Appearance upgrade, you can equip any of these while wearing any unlocked costumes, but you'll have to beat the mode a few times first!
