Obtainable Vinnie Skins
These skins were added during the January 1, 2026 update and can be accessed directly through the in-game shop rotation.
Kung-Fu
Kung-Fu pays homage to Kung Fu Man from the fighting game engine M.U.G.E.N.. This skin dresses Vinnie in a traditional white gi tied with a black belt, accompanied by a white headband wrapped across his forehead. In addition to the cosmetic wardrobe change, Kung-Fu gives Vinnie a custom idle stance where he stands posed to deliver strikes.
Kiryu
The Kiryu skin is based on Kazuma Kiryu from Sega's Like a Dragon series. Vinnie wears Kiryu's signature white suit jacket and slacks over a red button-up shirt with a brown belt.
Beyond visual changes, the skin introduces significant presentation upgrades:
- Combat Style Halo: Vinnie's floating halo shifts into a tri-color blaze of blue, pink, and yellow, representing the different fighting styles from the Yakuza series.
- Custom Sound Effects: Kiryu replaces default sound cues with unique voice lines and impact audio when executing abilities, taking damage, or dying.
- Duplicate Stacking Quirk: Because PURSUITCORE applies stacking penalties when multiple players select the same User, Kiryu triggers his custom damage audio immediately at round start if more than one Vinnie is in the match.
Dudley
Dudley dresses Vinnie as the British boxer from Capcom's Street Fighter series. Vinnie trades his usual gear for long black overalls with yellow side stripes over a crisp white dress shirt, accompanied by oversized light blue boxing gloves. His idle animation changes to Dudley's characteristic boxing guard stance.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius draws directly from the highblood troll Equius Zahhak in Homestuck. Vinnie's skin turns completely gray, his tattoo turns bright blue, and his halo turns pitch black. He gains a pair of orange-and-yellow horns, with his right horn visibly broken into a stub. His attire includes a gray tank top stamped with the Sagittarius zodiac symbol, fingerless gloves, and gray shorts.
Sagittarius features two specific mechanics:
- Indigo Blood: It is the first skin in PURSUITCORE to alter a character's blood particle color, swapping normal red effects for indigo.
- Custom Callout Formatting: In-game communication wheel callouts use Equius's typing quirk, prefixing spoken phrases with "D-→" (such as referencing highbloods when warning the team about incoming threats).
Seasonal and Special Crossover Skins
Certain Vinnie cosmetics were introduced during limited-time promotions and community milestones.
Cookout
Cookout debuted during the July 19, 2026 PURSUITCORE: KILLER SUMMER seasonal event. Vinnie trades combat attire for backyard barbecue gear, featuring a tall white chef hat, a pink floral Hawaiian shirt, and an apron bearing the phrase "HISS THE COOK" alongside a snake emblem. The apron features front pockets stuffed with condiment bottles, and two cooking utensils dangle from his waist.
Karma
Karma is a total conversion skin celebrating developer Hejjj's birthday, made available for a one-week window. Rather than styling Vinnie's normal model, Karma transforms him into the titular character from the indie project Miniventure: Showdown:
- Model Redesign: Karma appears as a white anthropomorphic animal wearing a black cap with a red band, baggy trousers, a crossbones shirt, a bionic right arm, and a coat with red accents.
- Shield VFX: When Vinnie uses Popup Block, Karma activates an expanding red bubble shield that displays a visible countdown timer indicating how long the block remains active, accurately matching Miniventure: Showdown's defensive UI.
Upcoming Vinnie Skins and Milestones
According to developer changelogs and official data:
- Milestone Skins: Milestone cosmetics are planned for reaching Levels 25, 50, 75, and 100 on Vinnie. The specific visuals and models for Vinnie's milestone progression tiers have not yet been publicly revealed.
- Heavy: An upcoming skin inspired by the Heavy Weapons Guy from Valve's Team Fortress 2 is currently planned for a future update cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Vinnie skin has unique voice lines and sound effects?
The Kiryu skin includes unique sound effects for ability usage, receiving damage, and dying.
Does any Vinnie skin change blood effects in PURSUITCORE?
Yes. The Sagittarius skin replaces standard red blood particles with indigo blood, matching the blood caste of Equius Zahhak from Homestuck.
What happens when two players use Kiryu Vinnie in the same lobby?
Due to survivor stacking penalties implemented in the game, multiple Vinnies in a single match take a baseline penalty adjustment at spawn, which causes the Kiryu skin to play its unique damage sound effect right as the round begins.
Can you still purchase the Karma skin for Vinnie?
The Karma total conversion skin was released as a limited birthday celebration skin available for one week following the July 19, 2026 update. Once its promotional purchase window closes, limited event skins cannot be bought normally in the shop until developers choose to re-release them.
