How to Add Cosmetic Skins to Umbra in Towerborne
Cosmetics can be added to Umbra through Towerborne's loadout screen. Select the Umbra you'd like to customize, then hold the space bar or hold your mouse on the Umbra or the Cosmetics button at the bottom of the page. This will open a page showing all the cosmetics you own for that Umbra.
Cosmetics are equipped in the same way that gear is. Select the cosmetic you'd like and press the space bar or double-tap it with your left mouse button to equip it.
How to Get Umbra Skins
Players can get unique cosmetics for the Umbra by purchasing them from the Writs Shop or the Curios tab. The Writs shop will sell skins outright, which players can find by selecting the Umbra Skins tab on the left side of the screen. You'll also find Umbra skins matching different sets in other Writ Shop tabs, so check each one carefully to find your favorites.
The Curios shop contains a variety of themed Curios with gear cosmetics and Umbra skins. To get Umbra skins in the Curios shop, players will need to unlock the skin's tier in a specific Curio by buying everything in the tiers before it. They will be able to purchase their desired skin as soon as its tier is unlocked.
There are a handful of skins that players will only receive by purchasing the Gold Founders Pack or Silver Founders Pack.
