Across Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy will have the opportunity to find new gear to better prepare her for new challenges. This includes finding new outfits, which offer bonuses to skills, as well as better protection and also just the chance to look more stylish.
We've combed through the game, finding all the different post-apocalyptic fashion styles available for our red-headed heroine. Here's a list of all outfits in Horizon Forbidden West, separated out by rarity.
Horizon Forbidden West - How to choose the right Outfit
Aloy's adventures in Horizon Forbidden West will bring her in contact with countless new deadly threats. From tracking down the cause of a mysterious blight to tangling with the new machines of Horizon Forbidden West, danger is everywhere. As such, one of the best investments you can make while playing is grabbing a new outfit.
Outfits are roughly divided into four color-coded tiers: Uncommon (Green), Rare (Blue), Very Rare (Purple), and Legendary (Orange). In general, armor from a higher ranking tier is going to be better than anything in the prior tier. You can use rare upgrade materials to further improve a set however, so be sure to compare your equipment before decided to spend some hard-earned shards.
In addition to being able to purchase new outfits, you'll also get a handful doled out through side quests, so don't neglect your optional objectives forever! This is a great way to ensure you still get new armor without spending shards at the various merchants.
