Dumpster Gang hats and cosmetics

Updated · Cosmetics

Quick answer

Dumpster Gang's cosmetic system has hats with unique abilities, raccoon skins and emotes. Official screenshots show a top hat, a traffic cone, a hard hat, a gladiator helmet and a wizard hat. The demo only offers a small selection; the full game unlocks more as you play.

What the cosmetic system includes

The store page says: “Return home after every mission to customize your raccoon, unlock hats with unique abilities, and decorate your hideout with every ridiculous item you’ve stolen.”

So there are three layers:

  1. Hats — wearable items with unique abilities.
  2. Skins and emotes — appearance and expressions. The demo announcement mentions “a choice selection of dashing skins and evocative emotes”.
  3. Hideout decoration — the stolen junk becomes furniture for your base.

FAQ

Do hats do anything in Dumpster Gang?

Yes. The store page says hats have unique abilities. The demo does not list the abilities, so we have not assigned effects to individual hats.

How do you unlock hats?

By playing and completing missions. The demo has a small selection; the full game has more hats and cosmetics.

Can you change your raccoon's skin?

Yes. The demo has a selection of skins and emotes, and screenshots show pink, white, brown and grey raccoons.

Are cosmetics paid?

No paid cosmetic store has been announced. Hats are described as unlocks, not purchases.
