AnswerEnshrouded
Can you change your character's body proportions in Enshrouded 1.0?
Short answer
Yes. Keen's 1.0 changelog on Steam says you can pick the classic or the new, more realistic proportions when you create a character, and switch an existing character either way at the Barber. According to the Enshrouded Wiki's pre-1.0 Barber page, the Barber is Elio Ricci, a survivor you rescue in the quest Illuminate The Night.
Two body types in 1.0
Enshrouded 1.0 offers two sets of character proportions: the classic ones and new, more realistic ones. You choose between them when you create a new character. Version 1.0 went live on PC on 15 October 2026.
Switching an existing character at the Barber
Keen’s 1.0 changelog says the Barber can now switch a character you already have from the classic proportions to the realistic ones. The changelog says the switch works the other way too, so you can go back to classic. That means you don’t have to start a new character to change body type.
Who the Barber is and how to reach him
The Enshrouded Wiki’s Barber page, from before 1.0, names the Barber as Elio Ricci, a survivor you rescue during the quest Illuminate The Night. Destructoid says that after you complete that quest, he can be called to your base.
Those guides describe the Barber as the place to change your appearance, with hair, beard, eye and skin options and no mention of body proportions. The wiki adds that those changes don’t affect your stats or abilities.
Version and platform notes
Keen posted the 1.0.0.0 changelog on Steam on 14 October 2026, the day before launch. The body type details above are from that changelog.
Keen’s changelogs for hotfixes 1.0.0.1 to 1.0.0.3 (15 to 21 October 2026) don’t mention body proportions or the Barber. The Barber’s name and how to unlock him come from 2025 guides written before 1.0.
