How Get More Outfits in Horizon Forbidden West

To get more outfits, you’ll need to go to a Stitcher, which are NPC merchants normally found at settlements. They’re marked on your map with an armor/ outfit icon, which essentially looks like a shirt. Speak to them and buy them for some Metal Shards (the main currency). Some armor types will also need different machine components to craft; for example, the Carja Wanderer outfit requires a Sunwing Circulator and 399 Metal Shards.
