Want to know how to change appearance in Trepang2? Though not relevant to your combat proficiency, the ability to customise your outfit in Trepang Studios’ FPS action-shooter is a neat slice-of-life feature that adds some personalised flair to the game.

We’ll go over how to change appearance in Trepang 2, explaining the simple mechanic and how it works. Once your style is on-point though, make sure you’ve got all the intel you need to handle all of the Trepang2 bosses, and that you know how to unlock all weapons and throwables.

How to customise appearance in Trepang2

To change appearance in Trepang2, you need to interact with the locker back at home base. You’ll find this locker in the central room that connects the target range, the combat simulator room, and the mission selection room. It’s not far from your station where you can customise guns before a mission.

When you interact with this locker, it’ll bring up the outfit selection screen. From here you’ll be able to change the following parts of your outfit:

  • Gloves
  • Pants
  • Shirt
  • Shoes

You’ll be able to alter each of these separately, selecting different colours and patterns, and mixing and matching to your heart’s content. What you wear shouldn’t affect your stealth capabilities though, so if you’re trying to figure out how to use stealth in Trepang2 you don’t need to worry about your neon blue crocs having any effect.

Weapon skins are now in Trepang2. Though not a feature when we played through the game for our Trepang2 review, the September 2023 patch has added in a few different skins for your weapons, to further develop your ability to customise. You can equip these skins from any workbench, whether at your home base or in a level.

How to unlock outfits

These outfits and sets will unlock as you complete main missions and sometimes side missions, though some require you to complete a mission at a particular difficulty. If you’re unsure how to unlock an outfit or accessory, hover over it in the customisation menu. As long as you have the required mission unlocked from the mission selection table, a popup of text will tell you which mission and difficulty you need to complete to unlock the given item.

That’s everything you need to know about how to change appearance in Trepang2. It’s one of many features in-game that flesh out your home base and add a little something to the experience. If you’re wondering how Trepang2 cheats can work to this end too, check out our guide explaining them all.
