How to Unlock Cosmetic Items in Soulbound: Online

Cosmetics Are Separate From Gear Stats

Soulbound uses separate cosmetic slots from your stat-bearing gear, so collecting hand-animated pixel-art armor sets, rare cosmetic drops, and companion pets never forces a trade-off against your build's power. You can mix and match cosmetics freely to look how you want, independent of whatever gear you're actually running for stats.

Ways to Get Cosmetics

• Cosmetic Vendor: found right at the start in Beginner's Bay, selling simple cosmetic items for gold alongside the Gear Vendor.
• Achievement rewards: completing the tutorial dungeons (Bulkatron, Scrapclaw) and later achievements grant gold you can put toward cosmetics.
• Rare dungeon drops: dungeon runs can drop rare cosmetic items on top of regular loot.
• Demo participation rewards: players who took part in the Steam Next Fest or Bullet Fest demos received exclusive cosmetics (an outfit and a backpack cosmetic) that carry into Early Access even though character progress resets.
