GRIMWORKS skins transform the game's playable Attractions—the killer animatronics—with custom 3D models, independent chase themes, dedicated menus, and unique animation sets rather than simple texture recolors. In puliltz's asymmetrical survival horror Roblox title, cosmetic variants are tied directly to match progression, player levels, and in-game currency rather than forced paywalls.
The development team has confirmed that skins are treated almost like standalone characters. While an Attraction's active abilities remain consistent with its core kit, equipped skins feature distinct lobby and kill animations, match introductions, voice lines, and custom user interface layouts.

Detailed Breakdown of Confirmed Attraction Skins
The Leader
The Leader (the game's primary Freddy-inspired Attraction) currently features the largest collection of revealed skins.
- Splinks: Based on the iconic Garry's Mod and Source Filmmaker community model created by Splinks. The skin equips The Leader with a blue top hat and void-black eye sockets containing pinpoint white pupils. In addition to a dedicated chase theme, the developers revealed that Splinks uses a specialized killer UI referencing MLG memes.
- Bear5: A tribute to the viral community meme. The model gives The Leader a distressed, blue casing, longer shoes, and a handheld knife. The head features a glowing CRT-style display playing static alongside Bear5's facial texture. It also includes an independent soundtrack and Last Man Standing (LMS) music theme.
- Redbear: Designed around classic "cursed game" and .EXE creepypastas, specifically drawing inspiration from Red Freddy in Zajcu Archiv. The model features an organic, burned-flesh texture covered in tendrils, human-like teeth, hollow eye sockets, and extra mouths protruding from the torso. The developers originally revealed this skin through a downloadable interactive ARG teaser that replaced the player's desktop background with Redbear's texture.
- Golden Leader: The crowning milestone skin for The Leader. The model represents a heavily decayed golden suit with exposed endoskeleton wiring on the left ear and hand, torn black garments, and a broken top hat. Because the initial build was deemed too basic by the developers for a maximum-tier cosmetic, it entered a remodeling phase to ensure its visual impact matches its high-level status.
The Savior
The Savior (the Marionette/Puppet counterpart) serves as the second killer playable during the game's launch period.
- Reaper: Inspired by the Reaper Puppet from the fan game Final Nights 3. This cosmetic features a darker, distorted frame tailored to match the game's claustrophobic lighting mechanics, complete with its own layered chase music.
- Additional Savior cosmetics, including darkened teaser variants, remain in development and are scheduled for release across future testing phases.
Bling Skins and Alpha Game Passes
On the official Roblox game page, developer support tiers allow players to access "Bling" cosmetics for the four primary Attractions (The Leader, The Savior, The Lucid, and The Revenant):
- Game Pass Unlocks: Purchasing the Giant Donation (1,000 Robux), Big Support Donation (2,000 Robux), or Lucid-Sized Donation (5,000 Robux) grants the Bling skins on Alpha release, alongside bonus reserves of Grim-Coins (up to 6,000).
- Free-to-Play Availability: The developers have explicitly confirmed on the game pass listings that Bling skins will also be obtainable using standard in-game currency (Grim-Coins) upon the arrival of the public Beta release.
How to Unlock Skins: Progression and Milestones
GRIMWORKS avoids microtransaction-locked gameplay advantages. Skins are designed to reflect match experience, survival performance, and character grinding.
Level Milestones
Players earn experience points and level up by playing matches, hitting survivor objectives, and securing takedowns as an Attraction:
- Level 10 Rewards: Intended as entry-tier skins (such as Splinks for The Leader) to give active players early visual variety.
- Level 50 Milestones: Mid-tier unlocks. Level 50 skins feature entirely unique 3D character models while retaining the base Attraction's standard animation rig.
- Level 100 Milestones: The highest prestige rank. Level 100 skins (such as Golden Leader) receive both an original 3D model and a completely new set of custom attack, walking, idle, and kill animations.
Currency and Level Boosts
- Grim-Coins: The primary in-game currency. Earned by finishing rounds and performing well in matches, Grim-Coins can be saved to unlock cosmetics and future store items without spending real money.
- Roblox Plus Benefit: Official Roblox game data confirms that players with an active Roblox Plus membership receive an automatic +5% boost to earned Grim-Coins and Killer Leveling speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do skins alter Attraction stats or hitboxes?
No. Skins are strictly aesthetic overhauls. While they provide custom UI themes, unique music tracks, altered voice lines, and distinct animations, an Attraction's damage, movement speed, and ability mechanics remain identical to the default model.
Can survivors use custom skins?
Yes. Pre-alpha and gameplay showcases confirm that survivors play using their own standard Roblox avatar appearances. The developers have also noted plans for earnable survivor outfits, such as security guard uniforms, unlocked via gameplay milestones.
Will every Attraction have skins at launch?
The Alpha phase launches with two playable Attractions: The Leader and The Savior. Both characters will have select skins ready (such as Splinks and Reaper). The remaining two core Attractions—The Lucid and The Revenant—are scheduled for release alongside their respective cosmetic catalogs in subsequent beta updates.
