Collecting different kinds of armor was one of the best memories in the Ghost of Tsushima. It’s time to create new ones as the sequel, Ghost of Yotei, is packed with a variety of armor from your classic Onryo’s Armor to Dragon Fly. But unlocking armors won’t be enough, as you need to upgrade them to maximize your defense against Saito’s men and get new perks at the same time. Check out our guide here to learn how to upgrade Atsu’s armor in Ghost of Yotei.
How to Upgrade Armor in Ghost of Yotei
To upgrade your armor in Ghost of Yotei, you’ll need to find Ginji the Armorer at Rest Spots. You don’t need to worry about finding him, as you will eventually run into him while Atsu goes in search of information about the Yotei Six in the early hours of the game. During an initial mission, Atsu has to head out to Yotei’s Shadow Inn near her home to gather information on the gang that killed her family.
Outside of Yotei’s Shadow Inn, you can find Genji’s workshop right behind Kojiro the Bounty Broker. Meet Ginji the Armorer to begin upgrading your armor sets. Under the Gear Upgrades section, you can upgrade your armor step by step by shelling out necessary coins, textile materials, and rare resources. Additionally, you can also customize your armor by buying Armor Dyes for your favorite armors from Ginji.
After your first meeting with Ginji the Armorer outside Yotei’s Shadow Inn, you can always return to this place to upgrade your armor sets. However, Atsu’s journey will take her to various regions in the Northern lands of Japan. But you don’t have to worry, as all the main vendors will set up their shops near the inns, which act as the main hub of the region.
Oftentimes, Ginji will also appear at your camps at random, so you can upgrade your armor on the go. Therefore, you can keep upgrading after you gather enough resources as you travel across Northern Japan.
