Hey I have a glitch where I can’t take off sobecks raiment and it says unable to change right now, any tips or fixes for the glitch you know off cuz I searched it up on KZbin and there’s no help.

[@6helloworld938]

👍❤️

[@DarksiderJon]

I’d like to mention for anyone who doesn’t already know since he doesn’t seem to mention it here, Apex machines mostly spawn at night, so just travel to the nearest shelter to progress time until night and then fast travel to the machine site. That should spawn an apex machine. You can also see in his video that all the apex machines shown were at night.

[@HamsterXFiles]

Earliest of the night meaning right after you wind the clock to night, later on in the night they didn't appear anymore, and difficulty settings doesn't matter.

[@thenumber5bus]

don't know about that one as most of the machines i find are apex versions down by cauldron mu and that beast on the beach before you go over to quen island. maybe its because i have gone far into the game but havent upgraded anything really on armour or skills at all.

[@fettahfares4880]

Woah... bro that's true i saw that and didn't go with it

[@3mileisland516]

Apex variants spawn at night. 👍

[@user-gy2cl8jq6w]

good to know, thanks

[@crimsondredd4203]

I have had the most trouble with tremortusks so far The apex are shy even at night or something

[@warrr_machine]

I like Apex

[@realcountry98gaming]

I beat three apex variants in forbidden west so far and it was during the day

[@zulkhashim8634]

​@@realcountry98gamingmiddleweight and lightweight machines can spawn in daytime when you killed enough of them or if your level is high enough. heavyweight always spawn at night.

I hope they eventually add a transmog system so we can directly transfer stats from one armor to another. I want that carja shadow to be useful damnit

[@asianman8657]

Yeah probably not bud

[@Simplystimulating]

Agree

[@dionzombie1235]

No hell no

[@aoikuroyuri6536]

Imma say .. that sounds like something the PC version (in the distant future) and mods will manage

[@tigerste]

Carja Shadow was my favourite armour by far, so its a shame there wasn't a better variant of this - particularly like the green version of it.

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

Agree. I used that armor for 60% of the game, if not more.

[@darinherrick9224]

You don't like the silver re-color? I kept it the whole game because it looks so incredible.

[@Firefight_]

I really liked it, too. I switched between that and the Oseram forester for most of the game, now I have too many favorites to list. 😅

[@edge9380]

@@darinherrick9224 ikr, the silver definitely the best one, the most beautiful in the game 🎯

[@bennypatrick6535]

Though, it has a mask. Reason for why I wouldnt really use the appearance of this armor is because: (SPOILER ALERT) The reason is that I wouldnt be able to see the face paint that I put on (Mark of War, aka an God of War easter egg in the game which you unlock the face paint by collecting three totems. Totem of War, Totem of Youth (I think thats this totems name), and the final one Totems of Brotherhood (this is two totems in one just in case if you are confused with this totem).

[@juliashenandoah3965]

The Shield-Weaver armor was the best. One hit free when fighting the big machines was the most powerful buff Aloy could get. Unfortunately this one was removed (or to be more precise it can be found somewhere but was nerfed to uselessness in Part II) so thanks for mentioning a few alternative armors here :)

[@sniperwolf7]

I agree about the Shadow Carja armor, I loved that look in Zero Dawn and Forbidden West.

[@gabrielcarrasco8414]

If you don't want to knock the difficulty with the arena the explosive spike thrower will carry you through most of the fights.

[@OutCast907]

If only I had the SkyKiller for all the boss fights

[@blitzphantom4341]

Cause ammo isn't an issue in arena fights

[@mrcat3493]

I always play “helmet off”, most of them are goofy looking. Plus I like to see Aloy’s Facial expressions during conversations.

[@enzoitgoes8335]

For a solid versatile armor one can acquire pretty early on is the OSERAM FORESTER (very rare). Acquire it after side quest BREAKING EVEN where you defeat a rock breaker that’s cockblocking everything in a huge valley. It’s a very balanced melee to bow stamina armor with a strong repertoire of defense.

[@ewansmith4610]

You can also get the Carja shadow from plainstrong after helping the village north of the town :)

[@TanayVaidya]

The Tenakth Vindicator was my armour of choice. From what I could find, it's one of a few Mixed Gear armour sets, and that's how my playthrough was turning out. That Critical Hit bonus damage was too good to give up.

[@dwaynesundown2038]

best looking armor in the game

[@locdoggtv4039]

I was scrolling just to see who else believed that that armour the best lookin one

[@bisugzzz]

Agreed, wore it all my playthrough

[@DarkMaestro88]

I will never take off the Carja Stalker Elite. It is the absolute best looking armor in the game with no comparison. Pair it with the Blood Dusk dye and Carja Hawk face paint and it’s a 10/10 look. The funny part is that I don’t even use traps so that aspect is irrelevant to me, but not being seen or heard by machines until I want to engage them is surprisingly fantastic. The concentration armor is great but I think concentration is slightly overrated to be honest. I’ve never been in a fight and been like “damn, I need more concentration”. It’s basically always there when I need it. So yeah, I’ll take the Stalker armor any day of the week. It’s got awesome style, fantastic defense/resistances, and is based off of my favorite machine to boot. I just wish I had more dye options. I love Blood Dusk but I want other color options as well. I think an all black dye with chrome plating for example would look amazing.

[@DarkMaestro88]

@@Nikauanderson Yeah, I might have been uh… a little enthusiastic about getting my armor that day… 🤣

[@geomanceraerith]

I think that one, Carja Shadow and Carja Trader are the best looking in my opinion and my personal favorites!

[@HargullLifeG]

The stalker legendary armour is my fave. Its just so good looking

[@itsme-mj9ic]

The behemoth armor set is my fav aesthetically. Especially when you change the color to the red and white or black and gold. Sadly the attributes are kinda useless. Apart from smoke bomb. I use them all the time

[@bmcisaac_1218]

How do u get that one

[@nightdriver7216]

Catwoman-style Carja Stalker Aloy will always be the best. But I do like the Tenakth Sky Climber, Tenakth Reaver, Oseram Forester, Carja Trader and Utaru Gravesinger as well.

[@CaptainNugget]

your content is increasing in quality so much and you’re growing so quickly, it’s great to see

[@davidp2061]

If ya need to hunt Apex machines, just fast forward the time to night time. Always work for me.

[@WizzyTheDizzy]

Love the perks on Nora thunder warrior with those weapon stamina and ridiculous concentration power, however it is not a very good looking set and I prefer tenakth vindicator from the painter side quest so much more.

[@tubby_1278]

I wish we could customize how Aloy looks..outfit wise tbh.

[@WizzyTheDizzy]

@@tubby_1278 yea, it would makes our gameplay looks ten times more attractive

[@turdboy6285]

@@WizzyTheDizzy you can change the color of the outfit which actually kinda helps

[@WizzyTheDizzy]

@@turdboy6285 I did it the very first second I got myself the armor. Now running the frozen wilds dye. It's better than the original but not like top notch against other better visual armor sets.

[@NotoriouzJay]

I really appreciate you making these videos, even though I don't have the game it always help to know as much about it first so when I do get it I'll be a force to be reckoned with, Thank u again for making these and I'll definitely be watching more of these 😁.

[@jamiebridges8529]

Solid breakdown my dude. Would love to see a bit on coils unlocked with armours (e.g. Nora thunder not needing the stamina plus coil unlocked by upgrading a different armour, due to overlevelling...)

[@tthrhraplayz5651]

I’m glad that in forbidden west, they added workbenches to upgrade weapons which I’m way more happier about. I was kinda annoyed in the first game you have to have the amount and right rescoures to get better weapons. But I enjoyed the Dlc more then the main game for zero dawn. and the outfits look more unique even with the helmet because I didn’t like most of the helmets for zero dawn which gave me a struggle but overall for this game rn is amazing i love everything about it

[@darinherrick9224]

That's because Frozen Wilds was objectively better than the main game. It had better writing, better voice acting, better missions, better armor, better weapons, better perks, better music, better graphics.

[@SashyNL]

If you like the carja shadow armor. Check out the Carja Behemoth trapper armor. Its normal colour is white with red. But you can dye it full Black with gold accents. Looks really good

[@johndodo2062]

I prefer the tenacht recon armor. It's awesome especially fully upgraded. Also, for the people who were review bombing and saying it's because aloy is ugly to them ..... I dare you idiots to check her out in that recon armor and then tell me with a straight face that woman is ugly.... it's impossible.

[@DragosCiureanu]

Dude you re right, HOW THE FCK IS ALOY UGLY?

[@Insaiyan7143]

If you want to spawn apex machines forward the time to NIGHT at the shelter and then fast travel to the machine location. Apex variants spawn at night time.

[@Crawver]

Huh, while I don't know if that's certain, I think it tracks. I can't recall running into apex's outside of the night.

[@Insaiyan7143]

@@Crawver It is.

[@alejandrovega8370]

Carja shadow is absolutely beautiful I made it silver color and it looks damn good

[@darinherrick9224]

When I got to mid game I was playing almost exclusively with the Tenakth Reaver for a while. Because paired with Tenakth facepaint it looked like Aloy had gone full native. I just LOVED how she looked in this armor.

[@DawnyAussie]

It's just such a shame they buggered the upgrade system in this game. Grinding for hours for Earthgrinders and primary nerves for just one of these armour sets broke me.

[@Kratos_1572]

Im guessing you were killing every single enemy you fought. Just use tearblast arrows and get the part but yea still a broken system.

[@DawnyAussie]

@@Kratos_1572 Yes, since there are fuck all good bows that use tearblast arrows, let alone a legendary one having them. Yet another frustration I had with the game.

[@Kratos_1572]

@@DawnyAussie use the glowblast sharpshot bow. Its the best bow for removing components.

[@mctankies]

Nora Thunder outfit is definitely my favorite.

[@Abce-hq6oz]

I remember how awesome it was to get the shield weaver. I knew from KZbin that it worked like the shield in BioShock infinite, but I didn't expect it to block fall damage. I took the straight route down a mountain from then on

[@ChuckTownRC51]

It really sucks that you can't just find armor you like and keep upgrading it to legendary. The green carja armor is my favorite by far and I hate that it's stuck at green level.

[@tubby_1278]

You mean the Blazon one? From HZD. I would just wear that one if we could upgrade it all the way to legendary. I was hoping they'd bring back the other one though instead of the Blazon outfit

[@johnfede7057]

Carja Shadow is the only blue armor I actually still have in my inventory. Also Nora Thunder I feel is not just the best stats armor but imo the best looking Legendary Armor with either Frozen Wild or first option paint. The 1st also has a little black in it.

[@gmon7940]

I prefer the look of the carja trader over the carja stalker elite after dying it purple of course. 😎

[@jamesr.1175]

My vote has to go to the Tenakth Vindicator as my go to armor. My second choice was the Oseram Artifacer, and next was the Oseram Forester armor, matched up with any of the red/black/yellow Tenakth Desert Clan face paint.

[@benjaminsisko4519]

Damn, Not even checked out any outfit sellers:P Will be working on these soon. Grinding the resources for all the upgrades is an absolute nightmare... Thanks for the Guide:)

[@lucaamaximoff3062]

i kinda wish there was this option to let one outfit look like another one (kinda like in ac odyssey where you could let one chestplate look like another one)

[@ryu7055]

The only thing i wish they added more of was spears, i want different spears like a legendary spear that deals explosive dmg when hitting an enemy with a power attack etc

[@alister101]

At some point into the game i maxed out my level and most of my weapons were legendary so i stopped caring about stats and wore what i liked.

[@Lusean_Encri]

I've used the Nora armour line from the start, besides when i was doing bandit camps and the fight pits, i instead used stuff to help me melee

[@HazeKnife]

I wish you get the armor that the far zeniths have, kinda like a shield weaver 2.0.

[@DarkMaestro88]

Very disappointed we didn’t get an ultimate armor. I love the legendary armors but still… no final reward was pretty underwhelming.

[@EllenMariel]

@@DarkMaestro88 maybe in a future dlc or game

[@potentpotassium5776]

@@DarkMaestro88 I wonder what an ultimate armour would do? Would it focus on a specific playstyle, or be spread out over all of them? If it focuses on a single playstyle, which one? And if it's spread out, would it have all the legendary armours perks or its own? Or maybe it'd give you something completely unique. Idk.

[@MicaylaRuby]

I feel the same way about the carja shadow, it was my favorite armor from the first game and I'm sad I can't get a high level variant of it in this one so I can keep using it as my main outfit :(

[@ChuckTownRC51]

Same here man

[@nick-np1bb]

Well you can use any other outfit and change the looks to the carja shadow outfit :)
