As is the case in most games with combat elements, choosing the right armor in Horizon Forbidden West can make a world of difference; particularly when playing the game on harder difficulty settings. Choosing the best outfits is even more important in The Burning Shores, as a lot of the machines that Aloy encounters in the DLC expansion will be the more powerful Apex variants.
The best armor sets in Horizon Forbidden West are classed as Legendary outfits and there are six of them in the base version of the game. The Burning Shores adds four more of them; five, if the pre-order bonus outfit is included. Getting them all can be rather costly, so players may want to check out their stats and skills to decide which one is best for their style of play.
