One of the many features of the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok DLC is the several new armor sets. Each of the new armor sets come with their own benefits and characteristics for players. They can be found throughout the map of Svartalfheim.
The new Dawn of Ragnarok DLC in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla provides a mythical flair where players will fight frost giants and fiery Muspels. This new Odin-centric themed gameplay comes with many popular storylines for those familiar with Norse mythology. It is no surprise that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla provided some new armor sets with the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC to help players fight these mythical enemies.
The Dawn of Ragnarok DLC provides players with a total of five new armor sets. Each set comes with its own perk and provides the player with a second perk if the player wears the complete set together, since each set comes in five different pieces that can be mixed and matched. Below are the five new armor sets and what each one does for the player.
