God of War Ragnarok received a new update today that added the long-awaited New Game Plus mode to the game. This new mode allows players to replay the game on a more difficult setting, while being able to use gear and equipment they previously unlocked. Alongside bringing new gear to the game, New Game Plus mode also adds four new armor sets. To learn about the God of War Ragnarok New Game Plus new armor, see our guide below.

The Armor of the Black Bear set is the first new set in New Game+. This set auto-equips on Kratos when you begin New Game Plus mode. Its stats focus on Strength and Defense with a perk that rewards your last-second evades with a volley of Bifröst shards. The set consists of the Cloak of the Black Bear, the Wraps of the Black Bear, and the Belt of the Black Bear.

The next armor set is the Spartan Armor set. The set has a locked-in Power Level of 1 and does not have any Perks or Stats. This makes it the perfect set for those players looking to really push the difficulty of their playthrough. The Spartan Armor is for sale for Hacksilver at Huldra Brothers’ Shop.

Another set from the 2018 God of War New Game Plus that makes its return is the Zeus Armor Set. This set is available to players by defeating Gná the Valkyrie Queen and completing certain Remnants of Asgard on a NG+ save.
