10 Bizarre Secret Alternate Costumes In Video Games

7. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - Raiden

Assassin's Creed is a pretty serious franchise revolving around various serious points in history, and often these are reflected pretty accurately. Enter alternate costumes.

Specifically, we're talking about dressing up as Raiden in AC: Brotherhood. Yeah, that Raiden. In one of the few cases that feature a character moseying across publisher lines, Ezio can be reskinned to look just like the iconic Metal Gear cyborg. You can grab the costume by completing all the training sessions in the Animus Virtual Training Program with at least a Bronze Medal.

It's a little time consuming, but if you're super keen for Raiden's signature futuristic getup complete with admittedly unusable SOCOM pistol and armour that leaves extraordinarily little to the imagination, it's all yours.

Though you can't actually use any of his wildly anachronistic weaponry, you can still enjoy looking hilariously out of place in 16th century Italy.
