If players are going to survive the dangers and enemies of Horizon Forbidden West, it pays to know which Legendary armor is best. After all, one of the most significant changes in Horizon Forbidden West from Horizon Zero Dawn is the approach to armor and how it can apply to gameplay. While Zero Dawn had various armor sets ranging from light and heavy to adept and master, the priority was always stats with the highest numbers. The same is far from true in Forbidden West, wherein players are free to experiment with whichever Legendary armor sets they feel best suit their unique playstyle.
The Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC, which was released in April 2023, introduced five new Legendary armor sets into the game, bringing the total up to 11. Of course, the massive expansion didn’t only include a wardrobe change for Aloy; a fresh area to explore, a new cast of characters (and enemies), exciting quests, and even a potential love interest spruced up the base game considerably. However, it’s hard to deny that the Legendary armor sets in Burning Shores are one of the best upgrades to Horizon Forbidden West.
Visually, the Nora Lookout armor from Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores may be the best-looking set, due to its clear inspiration from Horizon Zero Dawn’s Aloy. Unfortunately, for what the outfit has in nostalgia, it lacks in power. It grants the player buffs in powers such as Low Health Regen and Medicine Capacity – which aren’t necessarily bad to have around – but as defensive skills, their value is highly situational.
The Nora Lookout set only makes itself useful in times when Aloy has made a mistake and taken damage, which makes it the worst armor set in Horizon Forbidden West. Still, players can unlock it for 2,000 Metal Shards and 8 Brimshine at the Stitcher in Fleet’s End.
The Quen Deadeye set is a great Legendary armor in Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC, at least for those who enjoy a slower, stealthier playstyle. The outfit grants Aloy additional points in Low Profile, Concentration, Stealth Tear, and Stealth Ranged, which will certainly be a welcome upgrade for stealth archer builds.
