Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Costumes

In Ultimate each character will have on average 3 more costumes available over DOA5.

Tip To Get All Of The Costumes: You will need to compete both offline & online and win to unlock the entire selection. For example, you’ll be able to unlock costumes using points from online ranked matches.

Tip To Unlock Costumes Faster: Earn costumes by playing through Arcade / Tag Arcade and Time Attack / Tag Time Attack. New in Ultimate is that you’ll be able to unlock two costumes (one for each character) by playing these Tag modes. Not only do you unlock more costumes but it’s faster time-wise, because there are fewer stages to finish. — Note: Unlocking costumes this way via the Tag modes means you can only unlock costumes once for each difficulty level, so if you unlock a costume under “Rookie” difficulty you’ll have to play under “Easy” difficulty to unlock the next costume.

Here we’re going to highlight a few special costumes.

Which DLC Costume Packs Are Not Included In DOA5U?: As far as we know all Swimsuits, Cheerleaders, and Santa Costumes are NOT included. Go to the official game developer Team Ninja DOA5 DLC Website to get the full listing of pack names. These should be most of the DLC Costumes found in Costume Pack Rounds 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 & 10.
