God of War Ragnarok: How to fix the disappearing armor set bug

Kratos is the protagonist of God of War: Ragnarok and the entire God of War series. He has vanquished thousands of enemies, some of whom were far bigger and more terrifying than himself, and has managed to delay death for more than a thousand years. But Kratos can get harmed just like you and I can, not just physically but also emotionally. Kratos wears armor for that reason. He's not only wearing a daring, dark outfit; he's also shielding himself from harm, boosting his numbers (not just defense, but all of them), and giving him unique battle advantages.

In God of War Ragnarok, there are numerous armor sets, each of which includes a piece of chest armor, a piece of wrist armor, and a piece of waist armor. If you pre-ordered the game or purchased the Deluxe Edition, you could possibly receive sets of armor that are exceptionally potent. It's undeniably crucial equipment, which makes it extremely upsetting for the tiny minority of gamers who come back to the game only to find that Kratos' armor has totally vanished.

Uncomfortably, this glitch appears to have a common source and has apparently plagued certain players in God of War in 2018. The majority of users who report the bug claim that it occurred when they put their PlayStation into rest mode while the game was still running; when they came back from rest mode, their armor was gone. Therefore, keep God of War: Ragnarok running when your PlayStation is not in rest mode to avoid this bug.

Start over by going to the most recent checkpoint first. Then, try loading a few different manual and automatic saves. Try shutting down and restarting the game after that. If none of those approaches work, switch off your PlayStation (do not put it in sleep mode), then turn it back on and start the game again. The last resort may be to remove the game, download it again, and then reinstall it. Even this doesn't ensure success, but some players have claimed that it does.
