Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered not only delivers thrilling action gameplay but also offers extensive weapon and outfit customization. You can tailor one outfit for stealth missions around 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, 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 requirements to consider. Not all outfits are compatible with this method. 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 Merchant 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, as this mission can be tough. 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 it's only available in New Game Plus.

Once you have the second outfit, you're ready to proceed. You don't need to continue with the Frozen Wilds content if you don't wish 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 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, taking minimal damage. When you do take damage, 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.
