Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered not only delivers thrilling moment-to-moment action but also enriches your gameplay with extensive weapon and outfit customization. You can tailor one outfit for stealth missions against machines, while another might be optimized for melee or ranged combat.
There will be times when you'll wish to harness the benefits of multiple outfits simultaneously. Fortunately, this is possible, albeit with certain limitations. The following guide will walk you through the process.
Remastered Version Of Horizon Zero Dawn Required
To enjoy the dual outfit effects in Horizon Zero Dawn, you must play the Remastered version. A recent update introduced the transmog feature, allowing you to retain the stats and effects of one outfit while adopting the appearance of another. This means you no longer need to compromise on style for the sake of stats.
Pre-Requisite For The Two Outfit Method
To utilize the effects of two outfits, there are specific prerequisites to consider. The method described here is not universally applicable to all outfits. While you can choose any outfit for one slot, the second must be one of these three:
- Banuk Werak Runner
- Banuk Werak Chieftain
- Banuk Werak Chieftain Adept (available only in New Game Plus)
These outfits are exclusive to the Frozen Wilds DLC area, meaning you can't employ this technique at the game's outset. However, you don't need to finish the base game to access the DLC.
How To Get Banuk Werak Outfits In Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Banuk Werak Runner
Start by reaching the expansion area after defeating the new machine. If you find this challenging, consider lowering the difficulty or upgrading your gear. Once in the area, find a Bluegleam Merchant (marked by a blue Merchant icon) and purchase the Banuk Werak Runner outfit.
Resources | Normal Cost | Ultra Hard Cost |
---|---|---|
Metal Shards | 1000 | 5000 |
Desert Glass | 10 | 20 |
Slagshine Glass | 10 | 20 |
Banuk Werak Chieftain & Banuk Werak Chieftain Adept
For the superior Banuk Werak Chieftain outfit, complete the "For the Werak" quest, the third main quest in the Frozen Wilds DLC. Equip your best gear, as this mission can be demanding. Alternatively, switch to Story mode for an easier completion and quicker access to the outfit.
The process for obtaining the Adept version is identical but is only available in New Game Plus.
Once you've acquired the second outfit, you're ready to proceed. You don't need to continue with the Frozen Wilds content if you choose not to.
What To Do To Get the Effects Of Two Outfits
First, equip your preferred outfit, focusing on the stats you desire. Remember, you can enhance an outfit's stats with Weaves. After selecting your primary outfit, use the transmog feature to apply the appearance of one of the three Banuk Werak outfits. Although these outfits don't add extra stats, they provide automatic healing after sustaining damage for a period.
This technique allows you to maintain the stats of your chosen outfit while benefiting from the auto-healing perk of the Banuk Werak outfits. If your primary outfit is the Shield Weaver, you become nearly invincible, rarely taking damage. When you do, the Banuk Werak outfits' healing perk activates after a brief delay.
The Chieftain and Chieftain Adept outfits' healing perk activates more quickly than the Banuk Werak Runner's, so prioritize these if available.
