Costume 2 - White-and-green vest with matching pants, a sheer fabric shirt, a pair of boots, red-and-gold wristbands, a matching necklace, and a white turban.
Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 versions[]
For the Dreamcast versions and the Japanese PlayStation 2 version, Leon has two default costumes, and over time gains just two new costumes.
On the Japanese Dreamcast version, there are four ways to get each costume. Two are quick but difficult to do, while the other two take time but are easy to complete. If the player uses the UPS options, the costumes will be saved to the UPS and not the system file. This means that if the system file is copied, the costumes will not be, as the UPS is not transferable.
