Horizon Forbidden West is a sequel where players can explore an even larger and more beautiful planet. It has a plethora of things to view and collect, as you'd expect from an open world game, including cosmetics. Aloy can be decked out in a variety of facial paint, in addition to multiple clothes, just like in Horizon Zero Dawn, although Forbidden West doesn’t do a great job of explaining just how to use them.
What are face paints in Horizon Forbidden West?
Face paints are unlocked cosmetics in Horizon Forbidden West that may be applied to Aloy's face to change her appearance. They serve no purpose other than to provide an alternative aesthetic for the protagonist. Throughout the game, players will come across various characters who are covered in face paint. You can join them and represent your favorite tribe by using the face paint you've unlocked.
While fans will begin earning face paints early in their playthroughs, they will not be given much guidance on how to utilize them. Fortunately, equipping face paints in Horizon Forbidden West is relatively straightforward, however it may take some time for players to reach the stage where it is possible.
How to equip face paints in Horizon Forbidden West?
To utilize face paints, players must first locate a Painter, which appears on the map as an icon that looks like an antiquated tool with a handle. These NPCs will gladly add any unlocked face paint for 10 Metal Shards, or remove a face paint for a single Shard. Painters, on the other hand, are not present in the game's early locales, and it may take several hours of play before a gamer can encounter one.
The first Painter a Horizon Forbidden West player is likely to see is Zokkah, who can be found at the Scalding Spear. There are also Painters in the Bulwark and Thornmarsh, and the abovementioned emblem should direct fans to them. Regardless of whatever NPC a player eventually contacts first, applying face paint is as simple as interacting with the Painter and then picking the cosmetic to be applied.
How to get face paints in Horizon Forbidden West?
The great majority of face paints in Horizon Forbidden West are unlocked by completing main plot missions and side quests. The Mark of War paint is an exception, as it is a God of War easter egg that can be unlocked by discovering three War Totems dispersed about the planet. Finally, in Picture Mode, users have complete control over Aloy's face paint.
This is something that Deluxe Edition buyers of Horizon Forbidden West should be aware of, as Picture Mode will grant them access to the extra face paint that they are entitled to. Below is a complete list of face paints, as well as the quests for which they are rewarded;
