Can you get Leon’s jacket back in Resident Evil 4 remake – Answered

Give it back!

If you’re brand new to Resident Evil 4 and the 2023 remake is the first time you’ve played the game in any form, you might be horrified to learn that the cool jacket Leon “Suede” Kennedy is wearing in the beginning is taken from him at the end of the first chapter. You may be panicked, wondering how you can get this sick jacket back. I’ve got bad news for you.

Are you sitting down?

You can’t get the jacket back – however, there’s a “but” to this. Search as hard as you want; Leon’s jacket isn’t with the rest of his stuff. He’s going to have to deal with goosebumps from the autumn cold for the rest of the game.

Here’s the “but.” Once you complete the game, a few costumes get unlocked in the bonus store. Among these is one simply called “jacket.” Select these from the extras menu before you start a new game or load an existing one, and Leon will have that jacket glued to his biceps for the entire runtime. No amount of abduction will separate him from it again.

It sucks that you can’t keep it for your first playthrough, but at least you get there eventually.
