Horizon Forbidden West: All Of Aloy's Special Gear
Aloy can use Special Gear throughout Horizon Forbidden West to complete story missions and explore the game's vast open world, and there are five Special Gear items in total that are all obtained or crafted during main missions. Once these items are unlocked in Horizon Forbidden West, they can be used at any time.
