Armor is an important part of building your Nephilim in Crimson Moon. Different armor sets are inspired by the factions, knights, warriors, and other groups found throughout the world of Eden.
Each armor set is made up of four pieces: a helmet, chest piece, gauntlets, and leg armor. This gives you plenty of different looks to collect as you progress through the game.
Below, I’ve listed all of the currently documented armor sets, along with their descriptions and known unlock sources.
Crimson Moon Armor Guide – Helmet, Chest piece, Gauntlets

For armor where no source is currently documented, I’ve marked the source as Not listed rather than guessing where it comes from.
Crimson Moon has a wide variety of armor sets, and the designs do more than simply provide different appearances. Many of them are connected to the game’s factions, history, and characters, so collecting armor can also give you a better look at the world of Eden.
If you’re trying to collect every set, keep track of the known sources and pay attention to special editions, platform rewards, Discord rewards, and boss-related sources. Some armor sets are also tied to specific characters or bosses, so you’ll want to explore different parts of the game rather than relying on a single source.
As more armor sets and their unlock methods become documented, this list can be expanded with the new information.
