The '''Raiden Skin''' is one of the unlockable [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Outfits|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' Outfits]], 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. Also if the player is not in a memory, the player cannot die from falling.

==How to Obtain==
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.


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. Once this is done, it will appear under the outfits sub-menu in your inventory and can then be equipped.
==Trivia==
 
*While wearing the Raiden skin, no [[Hidden Blade]]s are ever visible.
==Notes==
*Since the Raiden skin has no visible sheath for Ezio's weapons, all of his equipment will appear to float in midair at roughly three to four 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 alters several characteristics:
*The Raiden skin appears to have a more fluid movement style while climbing and a much blockier style while running. This is most likely the result of movement-conservation techniques used by animators that carried over between character models, since very little of Ezio's legs are visible with his default outfit.
* While wearing the skin, no [[Hidden Blade]]s are visible whatsoever.
*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.
* Since the Raiden skin has no visible sheath for Ezio's weapons, all of his equipment will appear to float in midair at roughly three to four inches from his body. Additionally, 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.
*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.
* While not necessarily a change in style, the Raiden skin appears to have a more fluid movement style while climbing and a much blockier style while running. This is most likely the result of movement-conservation techniques used by animators that carried over between character models, since very little of Ezio's legs are visible with his default outfit.
* 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.
* Whilst wearing the Raiden skin, same as the Altair Robes, Florentine Noble Attire, and Desmond skins, the dagger is in a different position, on top of/under the sword, when you draw your dagger it will travel down the length of Ezio's leg then appear in his hand. This will happen even if you have no sword equiped.

The Raiden Skin is one of the unlockable Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Outfits, and is a tribute to the Metal Gear Solid series' Cyborg Ninja character 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. Also, if the player is not in a memory, the player cannot die from falling.

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.
