Players now have the ability to utilize the Wardrobe system to transmogrify their desired gear, enabling them to maintain optimal stats while still looking stylish. The majority of armor is now obtained through the Cyberware system. Players who have their sights set on obtaining the complete Netrunner Armor Set will be pleased to know that Game Rant can confirm its continued availability in the listed locations following the update.

Your destination lies along the dirt road in the Rattlesnake Creek area of the Badlands, located to the south of Pacifica district. Make use of the Abandoned Fuel Station fast travel dataterm, which is nearest to the location. Upon arrival, scan the surroundings to locate a burnt-out car and the lifeless body adjacent to the road. Retrieve the transcript from the corpse to initiate the side task.
The objective is to direct the player towards a locker, where they can obtain a visor to complete the task. The locker may contain two visors that the player can loot.
Inner Torso
The Glen area of Haywood is home to the Heat-Resistant Hybridweave Netrunning Suit. To find it, head towards the small shack in the underpass near Megabuilding H2. For convenient transportation, make use of the nearest fast travel dataterm, located at Ventura & Skyline.
Pants
Search for the solid barricades where a group of non-player characters (NPCs) will be gathered near an abandoned shack. Make your way to the rear of the shack, passing through the scattered rubbish, until you find a small entrance to crouch into. Retrieve the suit and a skill-shard from the lifeless body of the netrunner. Keep in mind that the suit can only be worn by players who have reached Level 30.
The Northside area of Watson district is where you can find the Dura-membrane Netrunner Neotac Pants. To reach this location, make your way to Pershing Street, where you'll find the nearest fast travel dataterm. Adjacent to the main road, you'll notice a flight of steps leading to a series of large spheres with spiral staircases. Ascend the sphere directly beyond the stairs, and at its base, you'll discover a blue Nazare Arch motorcycle, marking the spot you seek.
Go up the spiral stairs to loot the pants and skill-shard off the fallen netrunner at the top.
Boots
The Charter Hill area in Westbrook district houses the Hardened Netrunner Boots With Composite Inserts. For easy access, head to Lele Park, where the nearest dataterm is located. Once at the park, follow the road leading away from the dataterm and clothing store until you reach the crossroads. Keep an eye out for a hatch located on the side of the street, where you'll find a rail.
Jump over the rail to check if the hatch is open and spot a corpse nearby. Descend to discover the aftermath of a failed mission by a netrunner crew.
