Spartan Armor
The Spartan Armor set is the next armor set, which has a locked-in power level of 1 and no perks or stats. This makes it ideal for players looking to test their skills and make their playthrough more challenging.
The Spartan Armor set can be purchased for Hacksilver at Huldra Brothers’ Shop, and it comprises the Sorrow of Sparta, the Scars of Sparta, and the Wes of Sparta. The entire set costs 58,000 Hacksilver.

It has a unique perk that has a chance to drop a Health Stone on hit. When the Health Stone is stomped, players gain rage alongside a bigger explosion. The set can be purchased for 58,000 Hacksilver.
Zeus Armor Set
The Zeus Armor Set is another set from the 2018 God of War New Game Plus that makes its return. This set is considered a glass-cannon set as it increases Melee and Runic damage.
However, wearing this set also increases the incoming damage, making it a perfect risk-reward set for players who never get hit. Check out our guide titled how to get Zeus armor: God of War Ragnarok if you need further explanation on how to get your hands on this new armor set.
Aside from the new armor sets, New Game Plus also brings new features to the game, such as the Spartan Aspis shield that players can acquire, and a new black and white visual mode that changes the game’s appearance.
