Players of the PS5-exclusive shooter Saros are urgently trying to unlock the elusive “Hand of the Shore” armor, a coveted pre-order bonus that the game does not clearly explain how to obtain. Hundreds of gamers nationwide are reporting confusion over where to find this key cosmetic item, sparking a rush to uncover its location and other exclusive outfits.
The mystery is now solved: you can only access the Hand of the Shore armor after unlocking your base’s AI robot companion named Primary. This unlock happens after your second death in the game, returning you to the passage hub where Primary awaits. Navigate to the “Armor” tab in Primary’s menu to claim and change Arjun’s appearance with the pre-order set.
How to Unlock the “Hand of the Shore” Armor Now
The game’s tutorial introduces players to the primary mechanics with a boss fight against “Husband,” which you can defeat or die to after learning the ropes. Once you’re past your second death, you return to Primary’s base. It’s here – and only here – where players can spend their collected Lucenite on upgrades and pick up cosmetic outfits, including the pre-order exclusive Hand of the Shore.
Unlike traditional armor sets in other games, Saros’ outfits have no gameplay benefit and are purely cosmetic. However, their exclusivity is driving a frenzy among players trying to showcase unique styles inherited from iconic PlayStation franchises like God of War and Ghost of Yotei.
The Full Lineup of Saros Outfits
Saros offers a total of five distinct armor sets. These include:
- Echelon IV: The standard default outfit that all players receive
- Hand of the Shore: Available only as a pre-order bonus
- Astra: Another pre-order exclusive set
- Midgard: Awarded to deluxe edition buyers
- Onryo: Also exclusive to the deluxe edition
Players who purchase only the standard version of Saros won’t gain access to any outfit customization beyond the default Echelon IV.
Why This Matters to PS5 and Shooter Fans
As a PlayStation 5 exclusive, Saros is leveraging exclusivity and nostalgia by offering cosmetic armor paying homage to legendary Sony franchises. This has produced rapid community interest, especially among Delaware and US players eager to maximize their in-game identity right from the start.
With Saros’ release still fresh, the discovery and sharing of secret unlock mechanics highlight ongoing player engagement and the evolving meta of the shooter. The armor customization options create ongoing buzz and social sharing among gaming communities.
What Players Should Do Next
If you’re one of the many gamers hunting the Hand of the Shore or any exclusive armor set, the key step is to push past the second death to unlock Primary and then visit their menu immediately. Equip your new armor, showcase your style, and prepare for tougher biomes like “Destroyed Hill.”
