Protecting the main character in Gothic 1 Remake is a key element of survival, which affects gameplay much more than pumping weapons. Without good armor, any fight with monsters turns into a simulator of loading saves. Finding equipment in the remake of the iconic RPG is not an easy task, but you don’t have to spend precious savings. We tell you how to get the first armor in Gothic Remake for free and where to look for top gear.

How do I get free armor in Gothic Remake?
At the start of the game, you can avoid spending money and pick up the digger’s Clothes for free. To do this, you will have to walk to the Free Mine, which belongs to the New Camp. Master Svaini usually sits near the main entrance to the quarry, right by his hut. It is enough to tell him about your desire to work at the mine — and the starter kit is yours.
Getting to the mine on the first levels is still an adventure, because the locations are packed with dangerous creatures. If you act quickly, carefully avoid monsters and run a lot, you can really get to the goal in the first hours of the game. For beginners, such a sprint will seem too tough, so soberly assess your strength before a trip.
All The Ways to Find Armor in Gothic 1 Remake
If the free option doesn’t suit you, there are several more ways to protect your skin in Gothic 1 Remake:
-
Buying from merchants. Fisk from the Old Camp is ready to part with the Light pants of a digger. The price of the issue is 313 ore nuggets.
-
Visit to Svaini. The same method of visiting a Free Mine for free work clothes.
-
Joining a faction. The finale of any major quest chain for an Old Camp, a New Camp, or a Swamp Camp is guaranteed to bring you faction gear. Don’t expect simple tasks, but the result is worth it.
By the way, you won’t be satisfied with the basic parameters. Any armor you receive can and should be upgraded — for this, the game provides a variety of improvements such as belts, sturdy boots and gloves.
