Master the Art of Dual Outfit Effects in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
While Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered prioritizes action gameplay, its weapon and outfit customization is substantial. You can tailor outfits for stealth, melee, or ranged combat. This guide explains how to combine the benefits of multiple outfits, though with limitations.
Remastered Version is Essential
The dual outfit effect is exclusive to Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. A recent patch introduced transmog, letting you retain one outfit's stats while visually wearing another.
Outfit Requirements
This technique isn't universal. While your primary outfit is flexible, the secondary (for visual appearance only) must be one of these:
These outfits are located in the Frozen Wilds DLC, accessible even without completing the main game.
Acquiring the Banuk Werak Outfits
Reach the Frozen Wilds, defeat the initial machine (adjust difficulty if needed), and buy the outfit from any Bluegleam Merchant (blue merchant icon).
Resource | Normal Cost | Ultra Hard Cost |
---|---|---|
Metal Shards | 1000 | 5000 |
Desert Glass | 10 | 20 |
Slagshine Glass | 10 | 20 |
Complete the "For the Werak" quest (Frozen Wilds' third main quest). Consider lowering difficulty for easier completion. The Adept version requires New Game Plus.
Combining Outfit Effects
This preserves your chosen outfit's stats while adding the auto-healing effect of the Banuk Werak outfit. The Chieftain and Chieftain Adept offer faster healing than the Runner. Combining this with the Shield Weaver outfit creates near-invulnerability.
