How to change outfit in Dead Island 2 with character packs

If you're trying to work out how to change outfit in Dead Island 2, then you've most likely bought a special edition of the game and are now trying to find the character packs, as they provide the only suggestion that you can actually alter how your Slayer looks. If you purchased the digital Deluxe or Gold edition of Dead Island 2, or the Hell-A edition physically, then you'll have been promised two character packs featuring fresh weapons and outfits for Jacob and Amy, but it isn't clear how you go about redeeming that bonus content now the game is available. To help resolve any confusion, here's an explanation of when and how you can change your Dead Island 2 outfit.

How to use character packs to change outfit in Dead Island 2

If you're struggling to work out how to change outfit in Dead Island 2, then we have both good and bad news for you. The good news is that there's a solid explanation as to why you've not been able find this option yet, but the bad news is that the character packs won't be delivered until at least the summer, despite them being offered as a bonus for players pre-ordering or purchasing the special editions of the game.

When these character packs do eventually launch, hopefully in the summer, you can access the following Dead Island 2 outfits:

• Character Pack 1: Jacob - Rodeo Sunset skin
• Character Pack 2: Amy - Neurunner skin

There may be more outfits announced at a later date as part of the Expansion Pass or future DLC, but for now those are the only skins we know about. We also don't know exactly how you'll be able to change outfit in Dead Island 2 when the new skins become available, though it's likely you'll do this from the Slayer page within the player menu.

Of course, being a first-person view game means that the outfit you have equipped will make very little difference to you personally as you only see yourself in an occasional menu screen, but if you team up with others in Dead Island 2 multiplayer then your appearance becomes much more important. We'll update this guide when a release date for the character packs is confirmed, or if any more Dead Island 2 outfits are announced.
