What are the confirmed armor sets and outfits in Ghost of Yotei?
I'm a big fan of the Traveler's Attire making a return. It's the best set for exploration, as it reveals more of the map and makes your controller vibrate when near collectibles. I also love the variety in the "heavy" armor category. There's the classic O-Yoroi for pure tanking, but also the Oni Armor which trades some defense for a perk that occasionally causes your attacks to terrify surrounding enemies. There's really a set for every possible playstyle.
Confirmed armor sets include: - Wolf Stalker Set: boosts stealth and wolf synergy - Mountain Sentinel Armor: increases defense in harsh environments - Spirit Hunter Set: enhances elemental attacks against mystical foes Additionally, cosmetic outfits unlocked via mythic tales or side quests allow for unique visual customization.
The armor system in Ghost of Yotei is actually a bit different and way more interesting than Tsushima! Armor is divided into two parts: body armor (which has perks) and vanity pieces (masks/headgear) that grant a set bonus when paired with the matching body armor. There are eleven collectible body armors in the game, most tied to Mythic Tales, Side Tales, or specific bounties. Some of the most talked-about ones include: * Onryō Armor: This is Atsu's starting armor. Its core perk focuses on Spirit Attacks and terrifying nearby enemies, fitting her vengeful spirit persona. * Armor of the Undying: A combat-focused set, likely obtained from a Mythic Tale. Its unique perk revolves around the new weapon-alignment system, restoring health when you stagger an enemy with the right weapon type. * Spider Lily Armor: This one is a brawler's dream, enhancing your stagger damage and giving you a chance for enemies to drop throwable weapons. Great for crowd control. * Bounty Master Armor: A high-risk/high-reward set for parry masters—it disables regular parries but dramatically increases the window for Perfect Parries and Dodges. And for all the completionists out there: collecting all sixteen Hot Springs will reward you with a special, non-stat-altering outfit—the classic Fundoshi! Gotta keep the tradition alive!
There are a ton of armor sets, each with unique perks and visual styles. Here are some of the confirmed ones we've seen in trailers and previews: Yamabushi Garb (Atsu's Default): Boosts spirit gain and stealth detection time. Ronin Attire: Increases melee damage and reduces enemy detection speed. A classic returning set. Kitsune's Guise: A new stealth set that enhances assassination damage and allows you to chain more assassinations together before being detected. Samurai Clan Armor: A heavy armor set that massively reduces damage taken and increases standoff streak. Emishi Hunter Garb: Earned in the northern regions, this set improves bow damage and highlighting of resources and animals. Onryō Armor (Mythic): This is the "endgame" Ghost-style armor. It terrifies enemies after a successful assassination, causing them to freeze or flee, and provides major bonuses to your Kami Techniques.Each set can be upgraded at a tailor and visually customized with different dyes you find in the world. The IGN gallery is keeping a running list as more are discovered.
There are also seasonal and event-based outfits that may be released post-launch. Some provide minor gameplay bonuses, but most are for style and immersion.
To expand on the armors, I think the Crimson Kimono deserves a mention for stealth players. It's the go-to if you want to embrace the 'Ghost' playstyle. The Crimson Kimono drastically reduces your detection radius and, even cooler, it enhances your Kusarigama chain assassinations, allowing you to take out more targets in a single sequence. You unlock it relatively early by pursuing a specific side tale, so it’s a good set to rush if you want to clear out enemy camps undetected right from the start. Finding the different dyes for each set is also a major part of the cosmetic chase—they really let you customize your look!
