In modern multiplayer shooters, cosmetics have become a big part of the experience. Instead of focusing on stats or “pay-to-win,” many games — including DICE’s Battlefield 6 bot Lobby service— treat cosmetics as purely aesthetic customization. For players who enjoy personalization, showing off unique outfits, or simply distinguishing themselves from the crowd, understanding how the cosmetic system works is key. Here’s a breakdown of how character cosmetics work in Battlefield 6: how to access them, how they’re unlocked, and what they actually change about your soldier’s appearance.

✅ Where to Access Cosmetics — The Loadout Menu

All character cosmetics in Battlefield 6 are managed through the Loadout menu. From the Main Menu, select Loadout.

• Then choose Appearance — this opens the available skins/outfits for your soldier. 

• You’ll see a list of available skins (for the faction, unit, and class you are using), and you can equip any skin you’ve unlocked. 

A key thing to note is that “skin” in BF6 typically means a full preset outfit/appearance — you don’t mix and match helmet, vest, pants, etc., as independent items. 

This system differs from some older or other-franchise games where you might choose headgear, gloves, body, legs separately. In BF6, when you pick a skin, you get the whole look as one package.
