How Armor Works in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Unlike other Assassin’s Creed games, armor in AC Valhalla is very unique, and not many can be found in the world. Each armor piece is part of a set, and all set have 2 different bonus effects when 2 and 5 pieces are equipped, and their stats can be upgraded with certain materials.

Additionally, armor can be enhanced with collectible ingots to add rune slots, upgrade their look, and the amount of times they can be upgraded. Certain minor skills on your skill tree can also enhance the effects of your armor depending on the alignment.

While some armor is given to you as rewards, many armor pieces must be found by exploring the yellow points of interest marked Wealth on your map, and may require you to solve some small puzzles to get them. Some may even be locked until you undertake or complete certain quests or events.
