Code Vein Crafting Materials Locations
You can’t upgrade or transform anything until you have the required crafting materials. These can be found all over the game and even dropped by enemies as loot.
Once you have the required amount for a specific upgrade, bring them to Rin Murasame. The full list of crafting materials and where to find them is below.
Tips
There Is Very Little Cosmetic Armor, but…
Code Vein has a very deep character creator. That’s good, because you don’t really pick up or craft new armor throughout the game. Your weapon, Blood Codes, and Blood Veil (a magical jacket that does actually change the appearance of your character a bit) are all that change. But don’t fret too much about how your character looks.
Once you beat the first boss, and reach your new headquarters, you can change almost anything about your character’s looks – just like if you were starting the game for the first time. The only things it seems like you can’t change are your gender and in-game name. Once you select those, you’re locked in for the whole playthrough!
