Gamble With Your Friends: How to Unlock Every Cosmetic Without Touching the Casino Floor

Five minutes on the casino floor doesn't leave much room for browsing hats, but there's a way around that entirely.

Tickets are precious. They come from hitting the daily quota or clearing a Loan Shark challenge, and every single one of them is better spent on a Holy Statue or a Taser than on a plushie. A hat doesn't do much for you when the Money Wheel turns against you, and choosing between fashion and survival is a genuinely rough spot to be in a few floors up.

Thankfully, there's a quirk in how the game tracks saves that gets you out of that choice entirely.

Why the Cosmetic Shop Is Such a Trap

Cosmetic unlocks are tracked globally across the whole account, but starting funds get handed out fresh on a per-save basis. That mismatch is the whole trick. Every new save comes with a brand new wallet, and since the shop doesn't know or care how many times you've already spent that starting cash elsewhere, it just keeps selling to you.

The Loop, Step by Step

Here's the sequence that actually works, and skipping a step tends to just waste time in the lobby for nothing.

  1. Start a completely new save and load into the neighborhood.

  2. Walk straight to the clothing and accessory shop and spend every bit of your starting cash there.

  3. Hit ESC, quit out, and immediately rejoin that same save file.

  4. Head back to the shop. Funds should be refreshed or new stock will have rotated in, so buy whatever's left that you don't already own.

  5. Once the wallet's completely dry, quit the game, delete that save entirely, and start a fresh one.

  6. Repeat the whole loop until the shop's empty and your account owns everything.

Doing it this way means every single ticket you actually earn on a real run stays reserved for things that keep you alive, which matters a lot more once you're facing down a billion dollar Loan Shark challenge.

Why This Is Worth Doing at All

Climbing all four floors already asks for a lot of focus and more than a little luck. Worrying about a pair of sunglasses on top of that tends to push people toward bad bets, tossing money at the Money Wheel when a safer Street Craps table would've done the job. Clearing the cosmetic grind out of the way up front means every future run can just be about the tables themselves, whether that's chasing bigger money milestones or working toward seeing every ending the game has to offer.

Loopholes like this one tend to have a shelf life too. Small developer teams are usually pretty quick to patch things once people start finding creative ways around their systems, so if a fully stocked wardrobe sounds appealing, it's worth setting aside twenty minutes for this sooner rather than later.
