In Dying Light: The Beast, armor sets not only enhance your defense but also enhance the survivor’s look. Three of the most sought-after sets are the Bruiser, Heavy, and Soldier Armor Sets. Each requires a mix of exploration, apartment searching, and side quest completions. Here’s how you can track down every piece to complete these powerful outfits.
How to Get Bruiser Armor Set
The Bruiser Armor Set pieces are partly collectible and partly quest-based:
Bruiser Jacket
Near Nate Market in the Farmlands, inside a broken-down house, you’ll spot the Bruiser Jacket near a window.
Bruiser Gloves
In Old Town, you can find the Bruiser Gloves placed on a worn-out sofa, though this only becomes available after completing the main story.
Remaining Pieces
The remaining pieces are tied to side quests: the Bruiser Cap is obtained by completing Trouble in Paradise, the Bruiser Trousers are earned from Good Vibrations, and the Bruiser Arm Protectors are given as a reward for finishing the Hydro-Puzzle.
How to Get Heavy Armor Set
The Heavy Armor Set requires you to search through several key locations:
Heavy Boots
In the Warehouse of the Industrial Zone during the Precious Cargo side quest, go downstairs and turn left to find the Heavy Boots.
Heavy Gloves
Still in the Industrial Zone, enter the Factory Offices, and inside the stockroom near a dead infected, you’ll find the Heavy Gloves and a Smartphone.
Heavy Tactical Mask
At the Gallery SQ. Apartment in Old Town, use the vents to move between rooms until you reach the one with the Heavy Tactical Mask, which is sitting on a table.
Heavy Arm Protectors
At the School in the Villa Area, climb through the broken window, head to the library, and then move into the computer lab where the Heavy Arm Protectors are placed on a table.
Heavy Vest
At the Station SQ. Apartment in Old Town, the Heavy Vest can be found on top of a drawer, along with the Beginner Manual Pages and a Wristwatch.
Heavy Trousers
In the Library SQ. Apartment in Old Town, crawl through the vents to reach a green-colored room, where the Heavy Trousers are on a table with a lamp.
How to Get Soldier Armor Set
The Soldier Armor Set pieces are acquired through a mix of exploration and side quests:
Soldier Neck Gaiter
During the Killing Streak: Volume Four side quest, the Soldier Neck Gaiter is located on a dining table draped with a white cloth.
Soldier Braces
At the Town Hall Convoy in Old Town, you’ll find the Soldier Braces resting on a bench.
Soldier Reinforced Gloves
Inside the church, the Soldier Reinforced Gloves can also be picked up from a bench.
Soldier Reinforced Pants
In Killing Streak: Final Chapter, make your way into the Library Tower, where the Soldier Reinforced Pants sit on a desk with a desktop computer.
Soldier Tactical Vest
Completing Killing Streak: Final Chapter will also reward you with the Soldier Tactical Vest.
Soldier Boots
Once the Killing Streak questline is fully completed, you’ll be granted the Soldier Boots as a final reward.
