I’d love if you guys could give us cotsumes instead of reskins in the future, I think people would appreciate it more than just adding more skins.
Someone made a thread showing some so they exist, just not for the beta I guess "I found an awesome skin" the thread
Thanks for the link, but far as I can tell those are skins, great skins by looking at them but skins nontheless.
I guess that’s the best we’ll get in the future, it’s not bad, but I guess I’m used to have different costumes for characters in fighting games, was hoping GBX could do the same.
Montana in that thread has a completely new costume, and I am assuming he is not the only one 
This has been discussed in other threads, but…
I think the problem they are running into with costume changes is that it changes the hit box for characters. Therefore, certain costumes are ultimately going to have an advantage (potentially) compared to others. So its no longer just a cosmetic change.
Although from what I’ve heard they are working on it, if they haven’t already developed them.
Or at least unlockable skins that aren’t just one flat color.
As is I feel like when I unlock stuff “why would I ever use that? Its just one solid color from head to toe”.
No, it’s not a new costume, it’s simply a great skin, a costume would have meant his 3D model would be different.
Hm, well maybe we disagree on what counts as a costume. If it adds something new and doesn’t only change the colors I don’t count it as a skin recolor anymore. But as mentioned, changing characters 3D models also change their hitboxes. I do hope for more interesting costumes though, or at least higher color recolors (With some more thought put into the color palette)
I’m hoping the same, but it makes me sad that I only get to see how great the skins are outside of combat and taunting, or using an ultimate. With Battleborn being designed as First-Person View only, I feel like skins are just fan service.
Three tiers of skins:
Tier 1: reskin
Tier 2: costume with identical hitbox (zombie skin, bald eagle benedict)
Tier 3: Hitbox changing.
I believe this has been confirmed (or at least confidently stated a lot)

The Kleese in the third picture of the original post is more than just a recolor. His chair is made of two giant brains and he has sort of green mars attacks brain instead of hair. So I think we can expect some decent skins in the future for the game.
If that ends to be true then it would be awesome.

Would they really do that? I mean, changing Montana so he’s bigger or smaller anywhere on him by any degree could have some pretty dramatic gameplay implications.
I doubt they will be dramatic changes to hit box, but who knows.
nah, that’s not a problem. They can easily re model the characters within the same hitbox, look at how drastically some of the smite gods change with skins.
