Armour Set Bonuses

Each armour and costume set in Rift Apart comes with a specific bonus it grants, and the bonus gets bigger each time you find another piece. These bonuses always comes in set brackets, so while the specific stat or advantage changes from set to set, the amount it increases is always as follows:

  • 1 Armour piece: +5%
  • 2 Armour pieces: +10%
  • 3 Armour pieces (Full set): +20%

Best Armour Set

It’s hard to say that there’s a best armour in Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, as none of them increase your stats beyond the specific effect they contribute. Even then, you don’t actually need to wear them to gain that effect. Simply collecting the armour is enough, so you’ll have that bonus whether you have it equipped or not.

That being said, if you are looking for the best armour to hunt down, we recommend prioritising the Carbonox Advanced armour, the Captain Starshield armour, and the Lombax Praetorian armour. These simple increase the amount of basic resources, money, and experience you’ll gain while playing. Consequently, the earlier you get them, the better those rewards will be.
