What are armor sets in God of War Ragnarok?

God of War Ragnarok features several armor sets for Kratos to collect, equip, and upgrade throughout the game’s campaign. These armors imbue Kratos with defense and several new abilities that make his journey through the Nine Realms less arduous. There are three major types of armor - the chest, wrist, and waist pieces. While players can easily mix and match pieces from different sets, it is highly recommended to use armor pieces from one entire set to obtain the complete bonus of that set.

The majority of the armor can be crafted at Sindri and Brok’s shops, while the rest are obtainable only via looting Legendary Chests spread throughout the game world.

All armor is upgradeable to a maximum of nine levels and expresses increased stats with each upgrade, making it very much worth the effort for players.
