While Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered prioritizes action gameplay, it also offers substantial weapon and outfit customization. You can tailor outfits for stealth, melee combat, or ranged attacks. But what if you could combine the benefits of multiple outfits? It's possible, though with limitations. This guide explains how.
Remastered Version of Horizon Zero Dawn Required
The ability to combine outfit effects is exclusive to Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. A recent patch introduced a transmog feature, letting you retain one outfit's stats while visually wearing another. No more sacrificing style for superior stats!
Pre-Requisite for the Two Outfit Method
This technique isn't universal. While your primary outfit can be anything, the secondary outfit must be one of the following:
- Banuk Werak Runner
- Banuk Werak Chieftain
- Banuk Werak Chieftain Adept (New Game Plus only)
This method isn't available early in the game; these outfits are found within the Frozen Wilds DLC. However, you don't need to complete the main game to access the DLC.
How to Get Banuk Werak Outfits in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Banuk Werak Runner
Reach the Frozen Wilds expansion area (defeat the new machine if necessary; adjust difficulty or upgrade your gear if needed). 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 Frozen Wilds). This quest can be challenging; consider lowering the difficulty to Story mode if needed. The Adept version is acquired the same way, but only in New Game Plus.
Once you have your secondary outfit, you're ready to proceed. You don't need to complete any further Frozen Wilds content.
What to Do to Get the Effects of Two Outfits
First, equip your desired outfit—the one with the stats you want (remember you can enhance stats with Weaves). Then, use the transmog feature to apply the appearance of one of the three Banuk Werak outfits. While these outfits don't offer additional stats, they provide automatic healing after taking damage.
This combines the stats of your chosen outfit with the auto-healing perk of the Banuk Werak outfit. If your primary outfit is the Shield-Weaver, you'll be incredibly durable, as the Banuk Werak's healing will quickly compensate for infrequent damage. The Chieftain and Chieftain Adept outfits offer significantly faster healing than the Runner.
