Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered not only enhances the thrilling, moment-to-moment action gameplay but also enriches the experience with extensive weapon and outfit customization. You can craft one outfit perfect for stealthily navigating around machines, while another might be optimized for excelling in melee or ranged combat.
At times, you might wish to harness the benefits of multiple outfits simultaneously. Fortunately, this is possible, albeit with certain limitations. Let’s dive into how you can achieve this.
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.
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:
These outfits are exclusive to the Frozen Wilds DLC area, so you can't employ this method at the game's outset. However, you don't need to finish the base game to access the DLC.
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 |

Desert Glass | 10 | 20 |
Slagshine Glass | 10 | 20 |
To obtain 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 acquiring 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 choose not to.
First, equip your preferred outfit, focusing on the stats you desire. Enhance these stats with Weaves if needed. Then, use the transmog feature to overlay 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 become nearly invincible, taking minimal damage. When you do take hits, 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.
