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 are moments when you'll wish to harness the benefits of multiple outfits simultaneously. Fortunately, this is possible within certain constraints. 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'll need 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 have 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 requirements to consider. This technique isn't 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, so you won't be able to use this method at the game's outset. However, you don't need to finish the main 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 icon) and purchase the Banuk Werak Runner outfit.

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 for this challenging mission, or switch to Story mode for an easier completion. The process for obtaining the Adept version is identical, but it's 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 need. Enhance these stats with Weaves if necessary. Then, 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 method lets you 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'll be nearly invincible, taking minimal damage and benefiting from the healing perk when you do.

The Chieftain and Chieftain Adept outfits offer faster healing than the Banuk Werak Runner, so prioritize these if available.
