Many players know it: The ugly helmet hides the character’s face, or the armor looks like a mess. But can you change the appearance of the equipment in Crimson Desert to still benefit from the stats? MyMMO will let you know.
How do you hide the helmet? Currently, it is not possible to hide the helmet in Crimson Desert – unless you are at a barber. This is necessary, as you cannot customize your appearance well otherwise.
Aside from that, unfortunately, you only have the option to take it off manually via the inventory or quick selection. Since that is really quick to do, you can easily switch right before or even during fights to benefit from the stats.
But since many helmets also do not provide the greatest value and there are no set bonuses, in many cases it doesn’t hurt to simply skip it.
Hide equipment or apply skins – is that possible?
How can you customize equipment? In Crimson Desert, sadly you currently cannot customize the appearance of your equipment. You can only dye and change the material when you visit a Dye House.
You cannot hide individual pieces, nor can you overlay the appearance of another armor piece over your equipped items. You have to live with what you are currently wearing.
Whether such a function will be added in the future is currently unclear. So if you want to focus on fashion, you must upgrade your equipment as best as possible or find other ways to navigate the world. Here you can and must be creative and try out what works for you.
Crimson Desert is a game that does not spoon-feed you. Many things are explained very little or not at all. This encourages experimentation and problem-solving, but can also be quickly frustrating.
