Mafia Definitive Edition: Appearance - how to change? Mafia Definitive Edition guide, walkthrough
Last update: 25 September 2020
This page of the Mafia Definitive Edition guide concerns character customization of the protagonist, Tommy. You will find out when costumes are changed automatically, when you can do it yourself, and what types of clothing are available in the game.
When and how to change Tommy's outfit?
Free Ride Mode gives you the option to change Tommy's outfit and the general assumptions of this mode are described in a separate section of the guide. In order to change the main character's costume, you must visit the room on the upper floor of Salieri's bar. You will find the clothes cabinet shown in the picture – all the clothes unlocked up to that point are stored here.
By the way, it is worth noting that the change of outfit in Mafia does not affect the gameplay. The available clothes don't have any stats, nor they help in various elements of gameplay, e.g. sneaking.
You can't freely change Tommy's appearance while you're doing the main storyline for the very first time. The hero's costume is imposed on each of the main missions. In addition, Tommy will automatically change clothes in several missions, e.g. in Fair play mission, where he wears a race car driver's suit.
Mafia's plot takes place over several years and you can observe Tommy's "transformation". For example, in the initial missions, he wears a cheap taxi driver's outfit, but after joining Salieri's gang and rising through its ranks, he wears increasingly expensive suits and coats.
The costume change option in the main missions only appears when they are being replayed, that is, by using the Chapter Replay option from the main menu. This also applies only to those missions that start at Salieri's bar. In case of Free Ride mode, Tommy has to reach gray marker on the first floor of the bar.
