This is a sub-page of LEGO City Undercover (Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch).

Unless otherwise noted, these characters can be modded back in by adding the names to the COLLECTION.TXT file.

Unused Characters#

Buddy Characters#

Earlier designs for the second player. The other Buddy disguises do end up in the final game as the second player Chase designs.

They also have unused icons in the files.

A terrifying clown that's the last character in the CHARS folder. It seems like the worst case was him being in the game.

An older version of Mayor Gleeson with bling. Playable if you replace an existing character.

CIVILIAN_NATALIAKOWALSKI_HAIRDOWN#

An alternate Natalia with her hair down. She has an associated broken icon in the files.

Dunby without his hat, with a 2D face texture.

NPC_HARBOURCOP01 and 02#

Harbor Cop 1 is used as a pedestrian in the city, but he has an icon that goes unused, which could mean he was originally playable.

However Harbor Cop 2 is a completely unused character, that also has an unused icon.

A slightly earlier version of Chase with his hairpiece from 2011. Playable if you replace an existing character.

CIVILIAN_CHASEMCCAIN_UNDERWEAR#

A version of Chase in his underwear, for unknown purposes. Playable if you replace an existing character.

CIVILIAN_JOURNALISTNATALIA#

Appears in the 3DS game and in the pre-rendered intro cutscene. She's playable if you replace an existing character.

E3 2011 Chase#

Leftover textures from Chase McCain's 2011 design, which can be seen in this video (0:11): Watch on YouTube

Female Cop#

Textures that could have been used for Grace Makepiece, meaning she originally had a uniform much closer to Chase's.

Textures for a version of Mayor Gleeson without her sash, called "MayorBumbles". Leftover from this 3DS picture:

"BODY_MAYORBUMBLES"	"BODY_MAYORGLEESONSASH"

Sand Jacket#

An unused torso piece from the Cloud City outfit for Luke Skywalker.

Icons#

Museum Animatronics#

All of the animatronics from the LEGO City Museum level have unused icons, implying that they were going to be playable, or that the icons were batch re-rendered and they forgot to exclude them.

Astronaut Chase McCain#

Astronaut Chase without a helmet is a cutscene only character so the icon goes unused.
