Armor Styles

Styles are the visual representations of gear. Once a weapon or armor piece is equipped, the player will automatically and permanently add the associated style to his or her collection, allowing it to be used via the style window. They are broken down into head, hair, eyes, shoulder, hands, waist, feet, chest, legs, back, skin and pimary weapon. Styles may also be collected via special tokens that can be sold or awarded under special conditions.

Styles by rarity
Like items, some styles will be much harder to collect than others.

Common
These are the styles available to you from character creation and are often sold by vendors in safe houses or kiosks found in the Hall of Doom or the Watchtower.

Uncommon
These can be found on items from mission rewards or random drops. In most cases you will find the bulk of a set throughout a mission storyline.

Rare
Rare styles are only obtained from defeating alert bosses. The same style is often found in different alerts of the same difficulty, and is often role-specific, for example, the Viking style can only be collected by Tanks.

Epic
Epic styles are exclusively found on various purple-quality tradable equipment from iconic DC characters - such as Power Girl, Sinestro and Dr. Fate - that players must face at the end of every solo instance (hideout.) These styles are hard to come by since the associated gear has a very low drop rate, and there appears to be only one slot available per instance.

Unique
Unique styles are exclusively rewarded via mail for completing a briefing or collection and cannot be traded.

Iconic
Iconic styles are exclusively found only on various iconic battle suits.

Vault
In addition to uncommon style tokens, The Vault will sometimes yield DC merchandise in the form of a T-shirt or cap. They mimic the costume theme of a popular DC character and their colour cannot be changed.

Skin and hair
Hair styles are available from unique vendors found near either faction's re-spec chambers, while skin styles must be purchased from secluded doctors that are found in the world.

The skin vendor for villains is found in Gotham, directly east of the Ace Chemicals entrance, near the water. They are the most expensive vendor items currently implemented, costing up to 1850 cash.

Style sets
When a player collects every piece of a certain style, they complete the set and are awarded with a feat. Sets are designed to fit together perfectly and create a distinct appearance when used in their entirety. Sets can include as little as four up to eight slots and they never include primary weapons.
