Ghost of Tsushima presents us with a game focused on melee combat or stealth. Here, our clothes will influence our style.
To finish a certain mission, you cannot go without spectacular armor. Sometimes, your light camouflage clothes are necessary for direct combat.
That is why we will tell you how to get all the outfits and what you should do to improve them.
How to Change the Outfits
Once you have a new outfit, you have to go to Options> Gear> Outfit. Once there, you can select the helmet, mask, and armor that you will wear.
All Known Armors and How to Upgrade Them
To improve an armor, you must go to any blacksmith and deliver the corresponding materials.
The armors are ways to increase your stamina and health, in addition, to grant some special effects. These are all the armor you can get in the game, not including reserve bonuses, DLC, etc.:

2. Samurai Clan Armor

Kudos to you guys for providing the most comprehensive guide to finding all the armors and masks/gear for Ghost of Tsushima. I’m just getting into the game and it’s awesome to play, wasn’t expecting to like it so much.
Do they tell you where to get these helmets and masks in Ghost of Tsushima? Or are you supposed to figure it out yourself? I haven’t played the game yet, but I was just wondering.
