This page contains all the Armor Sets & Outfits in God of War 2018 on PS4, complete with a showcase, stats and image gallery. Armor can be crafted at the every Blacksmith’s Shop. Most armor sets are automatic story unlocks and merely take hacksilver (the game’s currency) to be crafted. A few high-level sets require materials, mostly found in Muspelheim and Niflheim. There are also sets you find in red chests in the game world and a few from side quests (favors).
You never have to farm for materials, more than enough are dropped by simply completing all the game has to offer. During the Muspelheim Trials and Niflheim Labyrinth you’ll get lots of Materials and Hacksilver. It’s also important to note that unique crafting materials are unmissable. They cannot be sold in the shop and if you forgot to pick them up, they will be placed in the “Lost Items” section of every shop. Therefore, nothing is missable.

That’s all the armor in GOW!
What’s your favorite Armor Set in the game? My personal favorites are the Valkyrie Set and Protection Set. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
Chris Trahan says
What about the world serpent set? I have the world serpent gloves. Do you know how to get the rest of the set?
PowerPyx says
It has been added now with a link to the locations. The parts are all in red chests in Tyr’s Temple.
rsf says
what sets do i need to have to get trophies?
PowerPyx says
Only the Ancient Set and Traveller Set give a trophy.
Malachi says
Great guide. My favorite set is Sindri’s. But Tyr’s set looks better.
Armegis says
I like both Brok and Sindri’s armor sets it would have been awesome if they would have made a set with both their additions in it instead of just a set each
Saval says
There’s anoter set that was left unmentioned: “wyrwurm plated armor”, or something like that. Resembles the skin of a boa and it seems to be better than the runic scaled armor. I knew of this because my brother went to a place with a giant -I think he was dead-; and told me he found it there, then I compared the mentioned sets in here and none looked or was called like the one my bro has right now.
Champion says
Will you add the armour sets from the latest patch?
Sant says
Please!
Santiago says
I love this guide, thank you so much.
Can you update it with the New Game Plus items?
Please!
Bip says
Blazing magma is so cool I wish it was more powerful
mark says
why no list for the enchantments yet?
Anthony says
You forgot to mention the Zeus armor set obtained in the “New Game+” mode
Tone says
Valkyrie set armor are the best for me, Reduce cooldown and go fight!!
D'Angelo says
now that the game re-released on pc will this list be updated to have the new sets?
D'Angelo says
And the couple sets that were missed. wyrmskin rare armor set and the deaths vow set for example
DinoErased says
I think my top three favorites are the Arcane Might, Ivaldi’s Deadly Mist, and Valkyrie sets. These are the ones that I found most useful throughout my playthrough. (It took a LOT of grinding to get the Deadly Mist armor though…)
Wakener says
Armor of Ares?
Armor of Zeus? (Best armor in the game)
Cod of War?
All in New Game +.
