The '''Raiden Skin''' is one of the unlockable [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Outfits|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' Outfits]], and is a tribute to the [[w:c:metalgear:Metal Gear Solid series|''Metal Gear Solid'' series]]' Cyborg Ninja character [[w:c:metalgear:Raiden|Raiden]]. While the skin appears to be full-body, [[Ezio Auditore]]'s hair and face remain unchanged, possibly a move by animators to avoid needing to make an entirely separate set of facial expressions for one skin.

The Raiden skin can be unlocked in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' by finishing all the training sessions in the [[Animus Virtual Training Program]] with at least a Bronze Medal.

==Trivia==
*While wearing the Raiden skin, no [[Hidden Blade]]s are ever visible. although if you look closely Ezio's fingers extend and are blade like when using the hidden blade.
*Since the Raiden skin has no visible sheath for Ezio's weapons, all of his equipment will appear to float in midair at roughly two inches from his body.
*Just as in [[w:c:metalgear:Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots|''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'']], Raiden's SOCOM pistol can be seen in the hip-holster, despite the fact that it cannot be used.
*The Raiden skin appears to have a more fluid movement style while climbing and a much blockier style while running.
*In the loading screen after unequipping the Raiden skin, the character model will flip back a cape that isn't there yet, since the idle animations load faster than the skin itself.
*Similarly to some other outfits, whilst wearing the Raiden skin, the dagger is sheathed in a different position, overlapping the sword. Also, when it is drawn, it will travel down the length of Ezio's leg, then appear in his hand. This will happen even if no sword is equipped.
*The image of the outfit in the menu shows Ezio holding Raiden's sword, and that there is a sheath. But in gameplay, the sword is not usable and the sheath is unseen.
