What’s in the Box: The ‘Metal Gear’ Closet Cosplay
Don’t regret your past- make cosplays from it. It’s the Metal Gear closet cosplay breakdown!
The Metal Gear series is one of the most iconic shooter games of all time. It’s a series of sneak-around, shoot-em-up, and escape-in-a-hurry tactics. As video game technology develops through the years, the games become more elaborate as the story unfolds.
At its heart, there are some hilarious moments that make the games memorable. With this list, we’re tackling the tactics behind the perfect Metal Gear closet cosplay.
Metal Gear Closet Cosplay: The Box
What’s in the box? YOU are. This cosplay is all about the bit, to be honest. Whether you have a box big enough to actually hide in for this, or you get one and use it as a prop, it’s still hilarious. Any box will do- repurpose what you have on-hand.
Metal Gear Closet Cosplay: The Bandanna
Invincibility can be yours with this simple headband. The second most iconic accessory from Metal Gear is the red bandanna. It grants unlimited ammo to the wearer, and in the games, that’s saying something. Never run low on boom-juice again if you wear this with your cosplay!
Metal Gear Closet Cosplay: The Camo Shirt
You can’t have a Metal Gear cosplay without the camo. It’s a military game, after all. Regardless of what types of camo you have on hand, throw it together and add the bandanna and box, and you’ll read as Solid Snake.
Metal Gear Closet Cosplay: The Camo Pants
With your camo shirt goes the camo pants. Something with tons of pockets and room to stretch (and crawl around on the floor under a box) is the perfect angle for this cosplay.
Metal Gear Closet Cosplay: The Boots
These boots are made for ass-kicking! Go with any combat boots, paratrooper boots, or sneakers in a pinch. As long as they’re black or brown, they will fit right in and complete this look. Boots are the staple of any wardrobe and can be used many different ways- maybe we should do an article on all the cosplays you can do with a simple set of black boots!
Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. These closet cosplays can be put together with only items in your house, but if you’re looking to build inspiration, we have options for that too! Thanks for supporting BoLS and sharing your creativity!
