ast486: I finally got to the monk temple and now I find out that I lose my clothes... for no reason! :-E

Clothing in W2 serves no purpose other then aesthetic and now, for NO positive reason, that is completely destroyed.
I haven't seen a single clothing shop in the entire game thus far, so no way to replace them.
How could someone think destroying my characters aesthetic was a good idea?!?
This is a huge contrast from the rest of the game, which is a lot of fun.

I can't believe anyone thought this shit was a good idea!
GRRRRRR!

Belsirk: I lost my gorilla costume like that :( sniff sniff
By the way, in the Monk Canyon there is a cowboy who sell clothes.

Pangaea666: Steam pipes can vaporise clothes too. But not on party members who join you, like Angela and so on. A workaround is to remove your clothes if you see that a monk will blow up in your face, then put them back on later.

ast486: I helped that military group take over the valley; is that cowboy still accessible?
I didn't find him when I went through, so no idea where he is.

Belsirk: Nope, the cowboy is only available before you do any of the quests related to the big nukes.

Socratatus: Hmm, I did see all my team`s clothing vanishing during the monk stage and I wondered what the heck was going on there, but later they were all back. But then all my custom team are men (I`ve heard the problem is greater with custom females).

p,s, there are no clothing shops, but you can buy and find bits of clothes. just don`t expect them all to work, like Fedoras which are completely useless for no logical reason.
